    Beware of BetIslands Casino "Policy".....I feel I am getting ripped off

    I have only been with betisland for a few weeks because Tony from 5Dimes was a total asshole and so far liked the site. I like betting on crazy bets that they don't offer but I usually lose those so that is a good thing. So yesterday I start playing the casino and lose a shit ton of money of course and then my account won't let me play the casino. I contact customer support and they say once you wager $1000 in the casino your account gets blocked from playing for the day. I was mad but I never win on the casino so its probably a good thing but I could of swore I wagered more than that. Now today comes around and I start playing the STUPID casino again and am up some and then down some and then up some. At this point I realize I have wagered MUCH more than the $1000 limit so I assumed the limit was taken off my account. I start playing multihand blackjack $100 per hand either 2 or 3 hands, so you do the math and clearly if I had a limit I can only be playing about 3-5 hands before I hit my limit. So I would win a few lose a few and all of a sudden I lose like $700-$900 in 3-4 hands and like clock work my casino access is restricted. So I contact customer service because I am pissed that is magically gets restricted once I go on a cold streak and they are trying to tell me I only wagered $1000 which I EASILY wagered at least $5000 and then she says I could wager up to $5000 and then she goes back to say $1000.

    Please wait for a site operator to respond. You are now chatting with 'Mia'
    Mia: Hello, how may I assist you today?
    Brian: please allow me to keep playing the casino
    Brian: same thing happened yesterday once I lose a ton I cannot play it anymore
    Brian: another 700 down the drain on the "fair" casino
    Mia:I am sorry sir, at this moment we can't take the restrictions since you already hit the max per day of risk of $1000

    Brian: but thats absurd....I wagered WAY more then $1000 and then I lost like $500 in a span of 3 hands and all of a sudden it gets blocked???
    Brian: I wagered probably 4-5 grand today in casino but it only gets shut down once I go on a losing streak....just like yesterday
    Brian: thats absolutely ridiculous....I actually like the fact that it shuts down after wagering $1000 because its nearly impossible to win in these but why does it wait until I lose a ton to shut it down??
    Mia: I am sorry sir that is set up for you own protection
    Brian: I understand but why cannot you answer the question I am trying to ask
    Brian: It is set up to shut down once I lose $1000 correct?

    Brian: not lose I mean wager
    Mia: correct
    Brian: then why did it allow me to wager about 5000 today and then shut down once I went on a losing streak? just like yesterday
    Mia: I am not sure why was that sir, I will have to check with the people in charge and they are not here yet
    Brian: it seems very unfair that it lets me keep betting when I was up a few hundred and then going on a m5-10 hand losing streak and lost about 700-1000 and all of a sudden it stops working???
    Brian: the same thing happened yesterday and its ridiculous
    Brian: can I contact a manager by live chat or does it have to be email?
    Mia: Sir , volume given does not refelct on win vs loss
    Mia:
    Mia: our casino has daily limits

    Mia:
    Mia: you can provide $5000 in action and still only be down $100

    Mia: or up $100
    Brian: and you said the daily limit was $1000 MAX WAGERED
    Brian: i understand wagering has nothing to do with wins and losses but when Im playing $100 a hand of multi hand blackjack, thats only a few hands not lots and lots
    Brian: now you are saying the daily wager limit is $5000???
    Mia: sir those are the casino policies
    Brian: so what are the policies? $1000 max or $5000 max wager per day?
    Mia: it will be block as soon it hits $1000 wagered

    Brian: then why did that not happen to me??
    Brian: just close the casino for good for me then and how much more do I have to wager before I can withdraw my money out?
    Mia: sir I am not sure, it is a software that handles those steps, so I will informed the people in charge about it
    Brian: ok well then can you block my account from having casino access until i get my casino refund



    YES I KNOW I LOST but does anyone else find this to be some sketchy bullshit?? Like I told the lady I like the fact that the casino gets shut down after wagering $1000 but if that is the rule, make it the rule. Do not wait until the player loses a bunch and then shut it down. I was suspicious about this yesterday but today it was not even close. I know I will get nothing back by posting this but just giving everyone a warning to be careful.

    I understand that but if you are only allowed to WAGER up to $1000 then it should be shut down once you WAGER $1000....correct?

    So why doesnt she just say once you win or lose $1000 the account is shut off? The amount you wager and the amount you win or lose is COMPLETELY different PAL

    simple

    you either get down 1k or more and get cut off

    or you win 1k or more and get cut off

    how hard is that to understand?

    just have them disable the casino

    save your money.

    I agree with OP that normally wagered = action, not win/loss. But I don't think Mia was intentionally to confuse. She just thinks action is action, wagered = win/loss. And that led to miscommunication.

    And like I said Im not complaning I lost because I am the one who wagered it Im just saying be careful. And it was not just Mia because 2 other people told me the same thing. Jon cleared it up and said its how much you lose but continued to use the word "wager" which is wrong but whatever. Like I said just giving everyone a heads up.


    PS I did close the casino because its AWFUL
