Confidential Information

admin · Posted: Sun Aug 27, 2006 2:26 pm Post subject: Confidential Information

As a casino operator, when a player makes a claim against a casino on the forum. What if anything can the casino use to prove its reasons that would not be construed as posting confidential information? IE multiple accounts, charge backs, e-mail/ chat transcripts. I have noticed a lot of players feel free posting false information to get the board riled up, but the casino has their hands tied in trying to answer.

This raises a good point because there are undoubtedly a significant number of fraudulent players who use the leading message boards to gather advantages that are not due.

Other sites have developed a system whereby the posters agree on one trusted individual (like Max here) who then liaises privately with the casino, examines the evidence (if necessary under a blanket NDA) and then confirms to the members the rogueness of the player (or not) before banning him or her for life.

I think it's important to weed out these crooks who harm the interests of players as well as the industry, and this is one way of confirming a casino's allegations - and it requires them to provide evidence instead of simply making a statement on a message board.

What do your terms say you can do VTed? I take it a professional lawyer in the field of online gaming wrote them? Are adherance to privacy laws and procedures part of your license to operate a gambling establishment?

In general we read the "confidential information" clause in pretty strict terms. In other words, the person's full name and address, home phone, credit info, etc would be innapropriate in a post. Other stuff like account names etc is, if necessary, pretty much fair game IMHO.

As to the adjudication question it's not something we normally do but we would have to look at each case individually.

My personal feeling is that if the player is trying to strongarm the casino by lieing on the boards then the casino is invited to respond as they see fit because the player is not only abusing the casino they are abusing their rights here too.

In the few cases we've had in the past where a player was caught using the boards to lie and cheat they were usually either banned outright or put on a seriously short leash until it was clear that they'd cleaned up their act.

In the vast majority of the cases we've seen the issue can be dealt with if it's done out in the open. This is why we encouraqe the casinos to participate in these discussions and not take the "we don't post" approach. Needless to say a professional attitude is expected of everyone.

Thanks for the Info, from all of you. You have given great insight. I think this why as a casino we don't answer some complaints because the casino is under certain guidelines when reporting information, and the player is free to say what they want. Thanks for the help
Ted
P.S. this was not about anything going on with us, as I do come on the board and answer players questions when necessary, just a thought I had.
