Money gaming site
 

I found this site the other day. It lets you wager on various board games including chess and backgammon. Has anybody played there? I've visited it a few times, and haven't once seen a game in progress.

They've been around for a little over a year. Total scam. I deposited there because they were offering a bonus. After I played the required number of games (I forget how many were required, but it was a lot, and barely +EV if you broke even in the games).

They never gave me the bonus. I sent them several emails. About a week later they replied with some BS about how I didn't click some special little button when I signed up. I never saw this button. I'm a very experienced bonus whore and I'm always looking for the stupid things like that that casinos sometimes make you do to trick you into not qualifying for bonuses. Their system was obviously intended to scam the players and never give out the bonus.

After a few more emails, they decided "out of good will" (ROFL) to offer me a bonus of the same amount, with the same wager requirement. This is even more BS because obviously I had already played enough games to get a bonus.

The games are ok. If they had decent software they might have been fun. But the software was absolute [censored] and froze up about every 20 minutes. So I kept having to ctrl + alt + del and close the client in the task manager, then restart it.

I mostly played the pool game. There was some dude who played it like all day and got really [censored] good at it and beat everybody. I tried to avoid playing against him, but there were so few games that I didn't really have a choice.

So I spent about 40% of the time losing to this [censored] video pool expert, 20% of the time waiting for a game, 20% of the time playing other people that were about equally skilled, and 20% of the time closing and restarting the software.

[censored] worst internet gaming experience I've ever had. I hope everyone who works for this site gets assraped by a gorilla.
