    wagerweb **/** fee reinbursed as freeplay?

    just made a deposit to wagerweb via **, and was told my fee is being reinbursed as a freeplay balance.

    can anyone w/ experience regarding wagerweb deposits, give me feedback if this is standard practice for the book or not? b/c it is DEF NOT industry standard practice. fees are real dollars i have to pay up front and the typical assumption is that i would be compensated by real money balance also..

    edit: nm, i see on their terms and condition page, serves me right for assuming they would be common as rest of the books..

    I hear you buddy. About two years ago they went this route. However, the free payouts are put back in the account as cash. I don't know if you have to be a certain level (platinum or whatever). Hey, that is what I assumed as well. Prior to two years ago everything was cash, deposits fees, bonuses, loyalty points you could redeem for cash.

    They do the same kind of thing with "free" payouts trix. With certain methods they say you get one free payout per month. You might think that means they simply keep their hands the hell off your money. But that is not the case. What they actually do is take the amount of a normal payout fee and move it from your cash balance to a freeplay.

    It is a brand of extreme cheesiness which I believe is unique to WagerWeb.

    I seriously wonder if the few dollars they skim by doing sh1t like that compensates for the lost revenue that their weasel reputation costs them.

    You can read, correct? The payouts I get are taken out as cash and put back as cash. I am a platinum player and don't know if it is for platinum only, or other rewards level. This changed a couple months ago. What, your sources didn't tell you?

    Eyeball, I guess you are the second person that can't read in this thread. I can't say I'm suprised because you are as insecure as they come. You are the guy who e-mailed me 10 times with the dumbest questions. Maybe mommy could hold your hand when you decide to play at such and such a book.

    Tell me eyesuckballs, who am I insulting? Am I insulting the guy who created this post and asked a question? No. Am I insulting chubcat since he can't read? Yes.

    To simplify things for you since you seem a bit slowwwwwwww, let me break it down for you.

    I responded to trixtrix. I added in my response that they do reimburse the fees as free plays, however they reimburse payouts as real cash.
    Once again Mudrash has his facts incorrect. Not suprising.

    As for you it must have taken a lot of courage to include your putrid response. Grow a sack of balls and stfu. Don't make me paste your e-mails to me earlier in the year about you not knowing if you should play there or the other sissy stuff. It is one thing about asking probing questions, not 10 different e-mails asking if I think you should play there or stupid chit like that. I didn't care if you wanted to play there. Remember, you are the one who pm'd me. It was pretty funny when your dumb e-mails kept rolling in. My wife and I laughed. She said you have to be a total nerd. She was right. I can summerize your e-mails as such. You:I have to take a dump. Do you think I should? You: If I take a dump now do you think I'll feel better? You:I took a dump yesterday do you think I could hold it? I don't think I have ever been called an ass or jerk by a guy in my entire life. Now stick to something you know like Lance Bass and Clay Aiken, Max. What a dumb name anyway, Max.

    I lose. I cash out. Mostly I lose. The bottom line is I would lose somewhere else and get less in return as far as bonuses and freeplays. As long as I get paid when I want to cash out, I don't have a problem with them.

    Who doesn't need counseling? Just count your lucky stars I don't post your ridiculous e-mails.

    You- Will I like the book?
    You- Do you think I'll like the casino?
    You-Do you think anyone has ever won there?

    All different e-mails. Get a life, Maxipad.

    To clarify things I went to the website. In order for you to get a free payout put back as cash you have to be a platinum or platinum plus level player. Additionally, you have to leave 15% (plat) and 10%(plat pls)balance in your account. For silver and gold you don't get a free payout put back as cash.

    And though I usually agree with you Mr. Pink, I think you go to far. No need to ridicule this guy more even if he is a tool. Also, any book that covers fees as a free play sucks balls. I happen to support your efforts regarding WW, but you have to admit "covering" fees in that fashion is lame. Anyway, go on....

    St. Aquinas, I agree it is lame. That is ww procedure. When I joined in 2006 it wasn't like that. It was cash. I stopped playing their at the end of 2006. I resumed in the fall of 2007 and everything was freeplay. I could remember questioning it at first and being pissed. That is how they roll.

    Now the guy who created this post asked a question. I answered it nicely. Somehow eyesuckballs took my reply to trixtrix as being confrontational, which in no way it was.

    I agree with the guy with the famous name: Wagerweb sucks. Soon as your account goes positive you get booted asap (and they would try steal your balance in the past too, till SBR started embarrassing them about that practice).

    Course, if you're donating money to them, they'll be as nice as they come.....
