Player Chooses Lump Sum
One lucky online casino player recently hit a large progressive jackpot – but
when he was ready to collect his money, the Pharaohs Casino informed him plans
to pay out small monthly payments until the balance was paid off. Now naturally
the player had an issue with the payment methods. It is generally understood in
the online casinos, lottery, and even in lawsuits that lump sum payments are
always a better option because the individual is able to invest the sum of money
rather than have a steady trickle that collects no interest and cannot then be
invested.
Boss Media operates the Pharaohs online casino site, and initially informed the
player that his US $117,248 jackpot win would be paid in monthly installments.
The online casinos player was understandably disgruntled and went to the
internet gambling message boards to spread the word about his win. Players were
understandably concerned that the popular Boss Media choose such an unpopular
disbursement method.
The jackpot winner though consulted with the online casino and all three parties
came to agree to two payments. The first payment is immediate, the other part of
the jackpot win will be disbursed to the winner once the casino firmly
establishes his identity. The casino also plans to release his name and use the
payout for publicity purposes. |
