    [censored] [casino name censored] I quit your site because slots didn’t pay and bonuses didn’t happen. One of the worst sites out there. Worse, I know someone who ruined their life on your site. Their family was smashed up by gambling addiction and you guys had you known, wouldn’t have cared. You would have kept the money and done nothing to help. #evil

    [casino name censored] [censored] Hey [censored], I am very sorry to hear that you feel this way about us. We’re regulated by the UKGC, therefore, fairness and security is in our best interest so we will fully comply with the strict UK regulations. I do understand your disappointment when the winnings are not at the level of the expectations. The winnings are a matter of luck and can widely swing.

    [censored] Hey [casino name censored], it’s bad enough that I survive a beating on your slots but someone had their life ruined on your slots. It was so real of you to completely ignore that. Exactly what I expected and glad I no longer give you a bean.

    [casino name censored] [censored] I am not able to advise you somebody else’s account, however, I can assure you that we have a responsible gaming in place and we strictly follow this.

    [censored] 1. I haven’t asked you to advise me on anyone elses account. You already know this because I haven’t asked you any questions about a thus far un-named account.
    2. No company in the gambling industry cares when a customer has lost everything. That’s called having zero responsibility. You all say the same thing but when it’s actually put to the test, not one of you do a thing about the ruin you profit from.
    3. Since you are trying to take me to task, I think it’s fair that you know this whole conversation is documented.

    [censored] It’s a horrible question but how many suicide attempts or successful suicides do you think your company have profited before ?

    Not to sure what your getting at here but the point of every business is to make money thats no secret. The live chat operators are most likely working shifts and will have no influence on how the business is run why would they care?

    Struggling to understand the point of this post.   Ranting at some guy who is on minimum wage and is working purely to pay his bills or feed his family does an individual no credit.

    Everyone knows that gambling causes problems and suicides, everyone knows that you are going to lose when gambling on a casino site.

    Giving grief to a random stranger on the net who is just trying to get through his shift and is personally making no profit out of it himself is just taking out  frustrations on an innocent party – which makes the individual doing it no better than the casino he is attacking.

    It’s not HIS slots he is just doing a day job

    Anyway I am off to tear a strip off the checkout girl at the local supermarket as she is selling alcohol to people and her business is making a profit from an item that ruins lives.

    I’m sure she will then ponder the fact that she is personally making a huge profit out of other peoples misery as she gets soaking wet while waiting at the bus stop in the rain as she doesn’t earn enough to buy a car or even a decent coat 🙂

    I agree with the responses to this thread. Seems out of line to blame companies for making a profit. People need to take responsibility themselves.

    If you want to ban everything that can cause an addiction, well gl with that! You can start with the 2 most damaging things in western world, alcohol and food.

    As for gambling. I played over 15 years and are massively down, when it comes to slots. You just gotta realize it comes with the territory. If you can`t handle that I suggest getting help and stop blaming others for your choices in life.

    The dark side of gambling is sitting in a dark room with no electric, no food, an exhausted supply of debtors and the memory of gambling more money than you own in a desperate attempt to save the situation you put yourself in, through gambling… In my experience anyway

    just so you guys know and I don’t want to come across as rude but when I shared this here, I wasn’t looking for validation

    it’s good that the true dark side is tolerated, just a little eye opening that this conversation face too face with ‘punters’ is easy to understand while here online on a forum where ‘punters’ don’t know me, have taken it personal with denial.

    don’t see the point ? it’s right there. Hit the google link.
    blaming the worker ? think about it, no one ever looked at tessa the change handler and rightly stated she invented the gambling world of economic temptation.
    rant ? an excuse not to have the conversation then. I haven’t burst a blood vessel sharing this, in any way shape or form. however, the scenario is what it is.
    still alive ? that’s not the darkest of places but of course, it can and often does get very very dark on a daily basis for people. friends, family and food banks to the rescue, if they exist and are tolerant of the repeat failure to sustain ones self and offspring etc

    bear in mind this subject isn’t taboo between two punters who’ve known each other for years stood in quicksilver when after a few hours, the whole arcade including staff are saddened by the “oh god not someone else” news and driving reality.

    again, I don’t want to come across as rude but it is what it is and I thank you for taking a moment or few to respond.

    No one is denying there is a dark side to gambling, thats a fact which everyone is aware of, and many as EightBlack has stated have experienced it.

    The point everyone is trying to make is that it is pointless haranguing a lowly paid call centre worker for it – what will it achieve other than to make him feel a bit more depressed.   I’m sure there are members of this forum who have worked in that environment and have taken shit on a daily basis for the actions of their employers.

    If an individual is pissed off about gambling losses or the impact of the gambling business, write to someone who has power or influence, don’t take it out on some 19 year old lad who may have only started that day in the first job he has every had !

    I have to agree there is even a risk the reality could depress said 19 year old. We all agree it’s depressing and the 19 year old lad certainly isn’t to blame but then no one stated it was.

    Your absolutly bang on here dune I worked in call centres for years on the phones and email support and the amount of people who give you a grilling for something fuck all within your control is uncountable, in fact I know many people who had to leave due to depression stemmed from the things people would say. One company was for loans, do you know how shit you feel when somebody blames you personally for having their possessions taken away? Or has lost their accommodation due to debts? I was just doing my job to avoid the same situation but those cunts still made my days longer.

     

    Mr B.. You have done exactly that and blamed an innocent party for the faults of an entire industry… Now how do you know that person hasn’t been affected by suicide? Either lost a loved one or feeling like it himself, so for you to put the blame of destroyed families and suicide on him is nothing shy of disgusting.

    I see some posts on here that I don’t understand why someone has bothered to post, but this tops them all.

    Every reply has been completely accurate and, quite frankly, this post is just incoherent drivel. Could have been said by a politician!

    You are an embarrassment honestly. This isn’t the first time aswell, youv gone in on these live chat workers before, genuinly what has it got to do with them. What are you trying to achieve by this?I’m actually starting to feel really sorry for you,  I think you should seek some medical help as it seems as if you are on the verge of a mental breakdown due to gambling.

    Alright guys, give Mr B a break. I’m sure he had good intentions but they may have been misconstrued. We all make mistakes.
