Lucyjackson Posted August 9, 2012 Author Share Posted August 9, 2012 wow, thats a shocker for sure. can see why you need to investigate this. in theory the online sites (slots) are regulated to the same extent the "Physical" machines in bookies and casinos are. i would certainly be looking to take it further like you are. trading standards for sure, and do some digging to find out who regulates the online casinos etc, get it reported asap for an invesitgation. saying that, i cant see how they forced you to continue gambling your "winnings" down to nothing, how/why did you not just sit tight and await the security issue being resolved, or was the "win" tied into a certain amount of playing time/expenditure? certainly sounds like a scam with it being online, far more so that it it had been on a genuine machine located in an established venue. will pm you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisT70 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 i certainly have never trusted online casinos due to the amount of rules/regs relating to initial buy ins/offers and the ways they prevent you taking your "wins" out, its all designed to trap the unwary imho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geezer Innit Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 and if it took 5 seconds each spin, how long would that take? For £10 spins, between 50 and 115 hours non-stop spinning. For £100 spins, 5-12 hours non-stop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChrisT70 Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 i have a mate who had a slightly serious online poker habit which started off as a hobby then became wins of a few hundred pounds a month and soon ended up in £5k of debt, within no time.

Geezer Innit Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 as explained though, the 93-97% payout isnt all the time, its an average over a long period, you might play for a few days and not see that figure overall. i think its also dependant upon the number of spins per period within the averaging programme, so well used machines will tend toward the average more frequently if you drop in.out of play. Yes, you are quite right. I'm making the assumption that that average applied consistently during the period of play. It may not have done so, but I used it just give some baseline figures.

Geezer Innit Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Also, further to my earlier posts, be VERY careful. This sounds like a scam. Might be worth a google to see if any other people at that bingo site have had similar experiences. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
