Honesty and Respect in Online Casino Industry: 1
Internet gambling is one of the industries where internet gamblers have to have
an awful lot of faith in their site before depositing large sums of money and
gambling with that money at the online casinos. The major internet gambling
companies are highly regulated because of the potential for fraud and the huge
amount of responsibility that goes into taking that much money. Gamblers have to
believe that they are entering into contract of sorts with the online casinos –
they gamble their money and if they win the internet gambling site will pay out.
The problem arises when the online gambling site decides not to payout player
winnings.
A complicated situation involving the Galewind Software company, Heroes Casino,
and Westland Bowl was finally resolved thanks to the intervention of Galewind
Software. Heroes is an online casino gambling site previously powered by
Galewind Software; while Heroes was operating on the Galewind gaming platform
the affected internet gambler, Bowl, won more than $34,000 in winnings off of
the blackjack table. Once it came time to payout the winnings, the online casino
began waffle. Over the past eight months the gambler was forced to submit all
sorts of identification documents to verify him before the site would pay him
his winnings. Then, once his identity was confirmed the site accused him of
using bot software to cheat the game.
The situation continued along this path for quite some time with the online
casino gamber continuing to show patience as he appealed the site, then the
gambling forums, for help forcing the site to payout his winnings. |
