STARLUCK ONLINE CASINO PAYS - AT LAST!
An anxious time for this $736,000 Starluck online casino winner
Three big betting video poker Royal Straight Flushes in as many weeks
early this year would be taken by many as the sign of a truly fortunate Internet
gambler, but for one online casino player it was the start of months of anxiety
and stress as the online casino procrastinated over meeting that most important
of all casino obligations - paying the player.
Those three Royal Straight Flushes netted the player $736,407.00, but
weeks later he had received only $26 000 despite having requested payment in
full on at least two occasions. And shortage of cash wasn't the problem - this
is a well established and successful online casino belonging to a major, London-listed
online gambling group operating the worlds largest poker card room Partypoker.
The player was subjected to no less than 3 seperate and distinct "investigations"
by Starluck Online Casino, an operation in the multi-billion dollar Party
Gaming group. Then the casino stalled by claiming that it had not received
the player's documents, despite the fact that those documents were sent thrice
without hassles.
The breakthrough came when the player decided to contact an mediator on the
gaming message boards, who took the case on some weeks later. He found the casino
extraordinarily reticent about the whole affair, surely passing up a grand opportunity
to generate some major PR on the event.
Pointing out the possibilities, the mediator, himself a highly experienced gambler,
said: "I've never heard of anything even close to it happening before in
my eight years of internet gaming."
The lucky gambler started with a wire transfer deposit of $5 000.00 and specifically
decided to eschew any bonuses in order to avoid giving the casino any excuses
for delays and disputes if he won. After the first Royal was hit he had an account
balance of a quarter of a million dollars which from that point provided him
with the financial power to continue at the $500 a hand level, hitting two more
Royals.
Months after the event the Starluck Online Casino player was finally paid in
full, but it left a bitter taste for the many gamblers who had been following
the posts detailing progress at leading message boards....and Starluck had squandered
a brilliant opportunity to make a positive name for itself.
Online gambling is a strange world, sometimes.
