Hello. I didn't know where to put this or to whom send it, so I will post it right here, and on other big casino forums + sportsbookreview. This is a precaution, to not deposit any money into this company betCroc. Everything started about 3 days ago:

There was the promotion 50$ for free for new users. Great I have registered and tried my luck in their casino. After playing some I have won some money. So they said I have to deposit my own 100$, they will give me another 100$ as a 100% deposit bonus and entire 200$ I have to rollover 10x times, and then I can withdraw everything I have on my account. Here is a proof of chatting with TATY (Tattiana Arguello- worker in betCroc company):

You are now speaking with Taty of Customer Support-English.

Taty: Hello
Me: Hi
Me: I have couple of questions
Me: I have registered today and got 50$ from you
Taty: sure
Me: I have made now 2000$ from this
Taty: yes
Me: now I have to deposit 100$, and I will receive a bous of the same amount
Me: and I have to rollover it 10 times?
Me: so for 2000$ yes?
Taty: yes
Me: and then I can withdraw everything I have on my account to my moneybookers account?
Taty: we do wire transfer.
Me: what is wire transfer?
Taty: money transfered from our account to yours
Me: you mean bank account
Taty: we can transfer either to your bank account or moneybookers
Me: oh I see, so let's say I have this situation
Me: I deposit 100$, got another 100$ from bonus, and rollovered it 10 times
Me: I deposited using moneybookers
Me: what next? Cause I dont see the withdraw option in the cashier. Do I have to speak to you here on live chat to make withdraw?
Taty: here you can read all about the withdraw conditions link
Me: ok I have read it. but I dont have to withdraw to bank account? I can normally withdraw back to moneybookers account yes?
Taty: yes
Me: okah thank you very much
Me: have a nice day :)

So I have deposited my own money via moneybookers and do everything they wanted so rollovered even more than for 2000$. They have counted it and said that everything is great, and I will receive money soon. And now started the problems. From now on I was contacting with Rory Hascall- the president of betCroc.


He asked me how much do I want to withdraw. I answered him that all I have as promised cause I did everything correct. He said okay, and should he close my account and don't I want to leave some money to play more? I said to him that when I see that this new company betCroc is trustfull, and I got my honestly earned money paid out, I will deposit again cause I like their site very much. He said "okay, today moneybookers is closed, so I will pay you off tommorrow morning". But then tommorrow morning he said he has some moneybookers problem and he is not able to pay me off via moneybookers and I have to wait until they fix it or withdraw via wire transfer. I said that I can wait until they fix it.

Well the problem is that they never fixed it, they have closed my account (even if I said not to) and they said I have to withdraw money via wire transfer. So i Have given them all my bank data, my address etc to make the bank wire transfer. And finally he send me an email that investigation is going about some fraud and they will pay me after this. Today he said they will not pay money to anyone and all accounts of a lot of people are closed.

Here are some fragments of what he was writing to me all the time:

"After a thorough investigation from our fraud division it has been decided to close all of your accounts due to not complying with the Terms and Conditions of BetCroc Internet Wagering, and or our Promotional Rules.

We will also no longer be associated with several Internet Gaming Affiliates that were involved in this investigation.

Violations vary from the following on each of your accounts, and or multiple accounts.
False, and or multiple e-mail addresses.
False, and or multiple addresses.
Shared IP addresses.
Multiple accounts, and or multiple accounts under alias names.
False phone numbers.
Threatening e-mails."

and then he writes again:

"So if there are any negative comments posted on any websites, or any other forms of communication, or any more threats of any form...BetCroc Internet Wagering has already prepared to do the following...

A massive email blast to all worldwide Internet Wagering Sites, and any website affiliated with Internet wagering with full disclosure of this entire investigation. This will include all of your names, alias names, email addresses, and or false email addresses, addresses, and or false addresses, IP addresses, personal photos, and all other personal information we have on each of you."

This was my one and only account in this company, but I think they realized they can't pay a lot of money to people that won, cause the wouldn't gain any profits and this is how the cleaned up this case! This is horrific, and I feel mad and angry, look again what he writes: that he will use our photo's from our ID scans if we go with this on public! This is blackmailing, but I am not scared. I saw that a lot more people has the same problem with this guy and his company, so I am going with it on public, I will also write to some companies that cares about online players being used by scam companies like this. If anyone is willing to help us, we will be very gratefull, I can provide you with all emails from them. It is not only about some 1000-2000$ but also about some ethics in the internet gaming, and you can cheat to make your own profits. I will fight for what is mine, and guys- DON'T DEPOSIT ANY MONEY into this company, cause they will close your account, and then tell about some frauds without proofs. I am waiting when he will expose all the details he is blackmailing us, cause then you will see there was no multiple accounts, and ip's etc at all, it was only for taking the money back and not to pay!

If anyone want to help, please write to me

I would appreciate any form of help. Tell me where else I can post this problem.

Thanks

A lot more players has the same problem.

This probably isn't the best forum to highlight your issue, to be honest. CasinoMeister.com would be a better option as this is not a casino player forum.

"A massive email blast to all worldwide Internet Wagering Sites, and any website affiliated with Internet wagering with full disclosure of this entire investigation. This will include all of your names, alias names, email addresses, and or false email addresses, addresses, and or false addresses, IP addresses, personal photos, and all other personal information we have on each of you."

However, this is totally f****ng unacceptable from any professional gaming company. I don't care about whether you're right and they are wrong or vice versa, but there's no way I would ever want to be involved with a company that says this - either as an affiliate or player.

I'm sure most of the other affiliates at this forum would agree. So, whatever else comes of your complaint, you have at least brought how this company do business to the attention of some pretty big affiliates.

I Agree with tryme1, regardless of whether you are a scammer or not, that type of threat is unacceptable and simply unprofessional.

Here is a tip for you in case you are not a scammer. Don't play at sites that operate out of Costa Rica. You have no recourse if they rip you off because the government there does not regulate gambling sites at all.

am not a scammer. There are a lot of people like me treaten unfair by them, we did everything correct, had one and only account, but they simply prefered to close accounts and say some stupid "violation" things instead of pay us the money. This was more comfortable for them. Even if law in costarica not regulate gambling site I just wanted to let everyone know about this company and this man - Rory Hascall, cause for me and a lot of other cheated players his name is finished. Thanks for the advice and I will contact casinomeister.

If you are scammers go to Costa Rica, (or CM) they will just "drag you into the street and shoot" you. It's not likely this Rory guy is even onland there. Companies buy licenses to house servers in CR and I'm not even sure the servers have to be physically located there, a bridge might be enough.

Please "Go Advanced" and attach files... on second thought please DON'T. You are in the wrong fora here.

I wouldn't mind seeing through a Personal Message the forums or other place you all got together before or after the fact though. I might have a better suggestion for a way ya'll can shoot this out and "Dude" needs to be exposed for threats like that any way you look at it.
