Being a regular online casino player, I am pretty familiar
with the standard of service usually offered by online casino websites. While
there are plenty of bogus sites, the good ones offer decent service and the
games can be a whole of fun as well. The trick is about finding the diamond in
the mix and that usually comes by being methodical while on the lookout for
genuine online gaming platforms. All said and done, every once in a while, you
are going to forget the rules you set for yourself and will have to relearn
some things along the way.
This happened to me when I registered with New Bingo Billy. The
site came heavily recommended by a friend and I decided to check it out. I had
never played New Bingo Billy before and so was not fully familiar with the kind
of sites on offer. But I took my friends word since he has been an online gamer
for a lot longer than I was and was kind of a guru to me. When I registered
with the site, several warning signs popped up in my head. But they were all
overshadowed by the dollar signs in front of me. My buddy had just made a
killing and had made almost $2000 and also made a withdrawal. So in many ways
that confirmed that the site could be trusted. I was wrong, my friend was wrong
and we both eventually paid the price.
I must admit playing New Bingo Billy was quite different.
While it lacked the fun ambience of playing it live in a natural setting, the
online version was nevertheless addictive and that was good enough for me. I
played every day after work and my persistence was rewarded with a neat little
bonus of $1500. I could not make a withdrawal. I filed many New Bingo Billy
game complaints with the customer support group but nothing happened. After
waiting for 2 weeks, they finally replied by saying that I hadn’t complied with
their terms and conditions and that the earnings couldn’t be released. A new
set of rules were brought in just a week ago right at the time when it was
usually the period where people made withdrawals. Chat forums were full of New Bingo Billy game complaints with other users as well. The complaints had been filed
for months.
Apparently I wasn’t only the one who felt cheated that weak. When I
read through the New Bingo Billy game complaints filed by other users, I came
to realise that the site had cheated at least 65 players and these individuals
were owed a combined total of $110,000. This was completely shocking to me and
I guess this should be nowhere close to the original figure.
My friend was lucky at least in the beginning since he could
make the withdrawal without any problems. But since then he has lost money as
well and is still fuming about it a year later. The experience only further
highlighted the need to do a thorough background check on companies. In some
ways, I was ok with it since I used the site only for a month before I figured
out what they were really about.
Going by past customer experiences, I came across former users
who used the site for months believing whatever excuses the management threw at
them. I guess it was more out of blind hope that they eventually would get
paid, even though they realized very well within that things would
progressively only get worse. I hope readers of this post will learn from these
mistakes.
Bogus sites like New Bingo Billy thrive on the ignorance of
its users and we must take every step we can to avoid that outcome.
