Banks in Costa Rica Quite Obviously Confused
Costa Rica is a hot spot for banking activity in the online casino industry, but
recent media reports indicate that the banking system is not as solid as most
would assume. Multiple major online casinos operate out of Costa Rica and the
country additionally boasts a significant player based market as well. But with
all of that internet gambling activity, the country’s banking and financial
system leaves much to be desired according to recent reports.
Over the past several months there have been multiple reports in at the
country’s major banking company, Banco Nacional, about fraudulent activity to
the tune of eight million according to some speculative reports. The real
concern for online casinos players though is the lack of consistency in the
banks procedures. The bank is quickly becoming known for delayed responses to
customer concerns, and irregular enforcement of the banks published policy on
online casinos gambling.
Some of the specific complaints from the online casino players now rest firmly
on the new policy that only allows internet gamblers who are on a “favorites
list” to make deposits to internet gambling related Web sites. The published
policy focuses on enforcing daily maximum withdrawals. The new policy that the
bank has begun to enforce specifically restricts transfers to customers and
online casino players who are on the back’s list of favored customers.
