    BetOnline trying to screw me out of $77,000 Slot winnings (claiming technical issue)

    Edit by OP:

    I just talked to Robert guys. He emailed me a massive excel spread sheet showing my Demi Gods slot play history. What was happening was whenever I had a win I was being rewarded my win amount + my bet amount. I was still seeing my balance fluctuate up and down because on a losing spin I would get nothing. He apologized for not having all the information at hand when we spoke over the phone yesterday. He also apologized for the mishandled software integration that led me to think I had won a small fortune lol.

    He was extremely professional and apologetic. He let me know that he values my business and doesn't want to lose me as a customer. We are currently in discussions about compensation for the mishap so I can at least walk away from this with something. Thanks again for all the support guys! SBR and the entire forum community helped me tremendously and I'll never forget that.

    Wish you gents all the best in your gambling endeavors and life!
    _______


    I was playing the online slot game Demi Gods at BetOnline for around 8+ hours straight on the early morning of Thursday April 27th. I proceeded to win a total of $76 863.30. I started off betting $5 in the very beginning but quickly started pressing my bet. The majority of my spins were between $80 and $150 per spin. After finishing my session I tried cashing out for the maximum $10,000. I was notified later that my cash out had been cancelled until a 24 hour account review was completed. 24 hours later I tried cashing out again. This time it was cancelled because I was told I had cashed out $300 earlier in the week and was told I needed to wait two days to withdraw $10k or I could request a $9,700 payment. I requested the $9,700 and once again my payout was cancelled. I was told this time that my casino play was going to be under review and they would get back to me in the next 72 hours.

    I received an email today saying that there was a recent casino software issue and it unfortunately affected my account. Of course the issue has now been fixed and I'm free to play lol. They confiscated all of my winnings, but gave me $250 as a good gesture (Great Guys!).

    I just spoke with Robert the Players Club manager over the phone. He tried telling me the same thing about how they had a technical issue last week and how it was fixed. I said that I didn't hear anything on the gambling sites I frequent about there being any kind of casino software glitch with BetOnline. I told him that the slot software is programmed by betsoft and has already been tested endlessly before being released. I told him I played this game many times at other casinos like Bovada. It's not a new game that was just released. He said that it was new to BetOnline and when they uploaded it to their skin there must have been a problem. I then let him know that this wasn't the first time I had played this game at BetOnline either. He seemed kind of stumped. Then he tried telling me that everytime I bet whatever amount my bet per spin was automatically got counted as a win towards my account. I told him this was completely false. I was fluctuating up and down just like any normal slot play. I was fluctuating up and down thousands of dollars so this narrative of his was completely false. He seemed rattled and said he was going to look at some more data and get back to me.

    Please help me with this SBR. These guys are trying to hose me for a lot of money.

    How does software that is created by Betsoft and can be played at many different online casinos decide to automatically go rogue and change it's code mysteriously on BetOnline during my session play only? I see nothing online through google about any other players having problems with BetOnline's slot software. Why is the players manager making up shit on the phone telling me that I was winning on every spin when this is completely a lie. I'm so pissed off right now. Fuk.

    Are there casino glitches where players lose more than they should as well??? hmmmm....does that ever get investigated???

    Was betting $5 per spin in the very beginning, but rose it to $10 per spin after I got up to $500 or so. Then kept pressing it.

    Started with $100. Had pissed $1500 away the day before playing poker and had $100 left. Said penetrate it lets dust off this last $100 trying my luck in slots. I've played online slots many times at BetOnline before. Usually lose, but sometimes win. I have plenty of pictures during my run as I was texting friends with pictures celebrating

    You played an on-line slots game for more than 8 hours straight?

    Hope you get your money, but this place always makes me feel better about my gambling addiction.

    No shit I was running good...but it's not like I was betting $2 a spin guy. 3 hours of my play was on auto spin at $150 per spin... Obviously if you run good playing big winning $77,000 or more is possible...

    Usually when you win at slots, it comes in one or two big hits. NEVER have I seen anyone hit time and time again, letting their wins grow at that rate. When you do get a machine that pays out a lot it basically lets you double or at best, triple your winnings before it goes cold.


    Not trying to bust your bubble but that's a rare win. I hope you get your winnings!

    I've played this game many times before. It wasn't flawed then, but now all of a sudden the code magically changed in the player's favor??? come on? Where are all the other people online that got affected by this from BetOnline? I guess it's just a software glitch when you win big right? These games have already gone through massive amounts of testing before being released by the publisher. The code doesn't magically change itself for someones winning slot session

    You guys don't think it's strange that the Player's manager was making up random shiat when I was on the phone with him? First it was a brand new game and the code must have changed when betsoft uploaded the game to their skin??? Then when I let him know that it wasn't the first time I've played Demi Gods there he changed his narrative that I was winning the amount I bet on every spin... This was entirely false...I fluctuated up and down just like any regular slot.. Now he needs to go "get more data" before he talks with me...wtf.....

    I am sure if you would have lost that they would have credited your account back due to the software error.

    Sutter is one of the good guys here. Even though he doesn't post much.

    I hope you get something out of this man. I hate seeing situations like this involving online software.

    Something was wrong with the software that is for sure. I might understand if you said that you won 2 $50,000 jackpots and then lost some of it back. But consistently winning betting at $150 per spin just doesnt happen

    It wasn't consistently winning. There were plenty of fluctuations. I dropped around 5K multiple times. Still ran extremely good obviously, but there are so many occasions where I've ran extremely bad and lost thousands of dollars. Is it literally not possible to run good in slots for several hours?

    I've been with betonline for years and I've never had a problem with payouts.. Then again I never turned $5 into $77,000 on slots in 5 hours.. I did once play Bovada on slots with my $200 play casino bonus and hit for $1800 last year.. The next month I cashed out and there was no problem but that was after betting $1000's on sports.....

    First off I would have waited to try and cash out if I were you for that $77,000, maybe even tried to lose 20 grand and then try to cash out 4-6 months later.. Let some time pass. You might have had better luck then.. Trying to cash out same day on a HUGE win like that I wouldn't try anyways. Lucky you didn't get locked out and you got the $250.....

    My 2 cents.. I don't play those Casino games on my real books unless it's bonus casino play..

    I've never had a problem with BetOnline as far as payouts either, but of course I've never tried cashing out more than $2K. I'm literally never playing slots again after this (dumb in the first place I know). One of my good friends is a slot technician at our local casino and he's telling me there's no way there is a software glitch. The slot code doesn't change. He's calling bullshit

    I have to go to work unfortunately...I'll probably post pictures tomorrow once I figure out how. I have pictures showing my total balance and bet per spin during the progression of my slot session.
