Gamblinx,

It is a customary practice to suspend accounts when a supervisor needs to talk to a client and he/she is not responding. We checked your account and it has a note to send your call to Keith. According to him you still have not contacted him. I have advised him that I am posting this, and he is waiting for you call.

Billy Walters has never had a problem with this

You are bound to have problems if you're not "up front" about company policys in the same area that you are trying to lure new customers into trying your book.

lots of companies have similar practices, for example I work for Canada's largest Cell Phone Company...we will advertise in Big Bold Letters that our Price Plans are as low as 20$ Per Month....When you examine the small Print though it is disclosed that every monthly plan has a .25 cent 911 fee & a 6.95 System Access Fee...

Of course we tell anyone when they are ready to Buy, However we certainly do not put those two charges in BOLD on our website so a cx visiting the site who is new to cell phones may not know about those charges...

fact is...buyers must beware & try to read all rules & ask any questions before confirming the sale.

Understood ....

BUT

The Rio promotion area makes no mention of any restrictions what so ever. That just isn't right especially considering that their sister book ( Skybook ) makes it crystal clear. The 1/2 special is still a great deal and I'm not here to whine about the book. This section of the forum was set up for these type of things to get kicked around. I don't walk on egg shells because they pad the Rx pockets. If I send my cash to a third world country to a business with a shady reputation I think I have every right to question there advertising policys.

, I am very much a 'say it like it is' guy aswell & am DISGUSTED by the politics that take place here at the RX....Sometimes I wish there was no advertising at all so that ALTERIOR motives were kept to a minimum...

You are absolutely right that the restrictions should be listed on the same page as the bonus offer...Even if it is only small print at the Bottom of the page...

Customary practice to suspend an account when there is an inquiry over an alleged bonus. Are you kidding me?

Rio, you guys are a bunch of clowns. Pay the man his $47 or else give him his original stake back together with the pre-paid atm fees and be known as the book that welches on bonuses and has misleading promotions.

Pay the fuking money. I am tired of reading this bs. You guys are second class.

Things must be getting really bad, if a book as large as Rio cheats a guy out of $30 in ppatm fees, because the player doesn't realize that Rio should cover those fees. ANd then they even refuse to pay him the 10% deposit bonus. WHats really crazy is that if RIo had been smart they would have given the player the $47 right away. then they would have gotten away with giving this guy a $17 bonus on his $500 deposit, and he would have been a happy customer.

I've always like Rio's Cs before, but there is no defending this.

Be careful guys...the RIOettes will be in shortly throwing their pompoms at you...

I bet they'll probably make Gamblinx call in and sing the latest RX Mod RIO Dance and Cheerleading CD in its entirety before they'll unfreeze his account...

Funny Thing-

I lost my pending bet for today- and my account is no longer suspended. If I had won my parlay today for $423 would my account still be suspended???? I suspect not- but since I lost the bet - magic happened- my account is no longer suspended- funny stuff RIO. So I place a bet- my account is suspended for hours- withing 17 minutes after the bet is lost my account is open (suspension lifted)- Keith/RIO/SHrink - you guys are a damn joke- Still no apology, no $47 bonus, and no update on the website about the bogus, misleading bonus policy t RIO. RIO- all respect for u goes down the tubes. I'll take 5-1 odds that if my bet won tonight my account would remain suspended. Just 1 question- WHY WAS MY ACCOUNT SUSPENDED ALL DAY TODAY- I ATTEMPTED TO LOG ON 17 times. then only minutes after my bet lost I COULD LOG ON MY ACCOUNT- PLEASE REPLY- I just want an answer- seems a bit strange to me???????
