Question for sportsbook operators or anyone who knows - What happens when you die to your

[Halifax]

"So that low tier books can claim they are keeping the money and its in the rules. I can hear Five Dimes defending this now."
---------------------------------

Danny May:

When you posted your "live chat" with 5 Dimes, you purposely left out the part where the CS referred to an "Active" account.

Live Chat

5 Dimes subsequently posted the whole transcript.

Why did you mislead the forum by not posting the whole transcript ?

 

[DannyMay]

Halifax,

I clearly said that when she realized I knew about the "active" controversy she changed her position and backed out of everything she had said earlier. When she thought I did not know anything about the controversy and was simplay considering making a deposit she clearly stated that the account had to only be FUNDED for 30 days and the play through requirement had to be met. When I asked her if I could withdraw after making those 2 stipulations she said YES. Yes you are right, after I asked for a copy of the chat and asked a few other questiuons, she came to realize I knew about it. At that point she tried to back out of everything she said earlier.


HeyWood,

Come on man. Everyone stops gambling at age 45 ???

The age of gamblers is yes 21 and up. The death rate of 2% within the age rate of 21 + predominatly male is a lower estimate than actual. Come on man. Even if we use your age range of 21-45 ( 90% male) the actual death rate is higher than 2%. and trust me gamblers continue gambling into their 50's and 60's. To say that the death rate of offshore gamblers is below 2% is ludicrous.

I just WONDER why you didn't post the whole conversation

It seems to me that you where manipulating the information!

 

[DannyMay]

No Artemis. I posted the point I was trying to make. I went on to tell them that she did change her position after she realized I knew about the "active" controversy. The point of the whole thing was posted and that is when she thought I was just some guy who was considering depositing she clearly told me that the 30 day requirement meant the account had to reamin FUNDED.

 

[BlueveinThrobber]

He might have felt pressed for time to post the whole transcript. It is quite obvious by this post that we can die at any moment......

 

[DannyMay]

Blue,

Exactly. Especially me. I live in Afganistan.

Scott, how about a promotion where you offer a match play for the acct balance with an equivalent deposit. 5x roll on the dead guy's balance.

Danny, good thread and don't mean to make light. I just don't know what to say--you raise some thought provoking hypos. Good Luck

 

[HeywoodJablome]

Danny, I didnt say everybody stops gambling at 45 can you read? Most bettors are in that age group and your death rate numbers are crazy. 200 out of 10,000?There are not anywhere near that many bettors dying every year and if there were the book would get known as being cursed like King Tut's tomb. Where are you getting your goofy death rate numbers from? You don't seem to be a very sharp guy but maybe you are just hiding your light under a bushel as they say.

A good question, but we need death rate on gamblers

Heywood, cool it on the personal attacks or take it to the RR

 

[HeywoodJablome]

Hmamneggs what are you talking about? Do you think "You don't seem to be a very sharp guy but maybe you are just hiding your light under a bushel as they say." is a personal attack?WTF? chill out, the guy is way way off in his death rate and I made an observation and I gave him the benefit of the doubt in that observation

Normally you would find out by accident if a customer has died. In the past year when checking through the database, I found two cases. In neither case was the spouse aware that their husband was wagering.

It was a case of explaining that there was a sum of money available, giving my own personal details in order to reassure them, and contact details, also reassuring them that there was no bullshit going on.

Usually its found when there is a sum of money in an account and more than one years of inactivity. Once a copy of a Death Certificate was obtained, then it was fine to send the funds to the next of kin, because sadly, we still have to be alert to the possibility of fraud, after all, it could be a bitter divorcee for example
