Actually, they mentioned in earlier post they plan the reopen the casino...
And who will play in this re-opened casino? I guess they can clear this situation and refund people (I don't care for my few bucks), but they just disappeared for six months? Even if they get in again with many new promotions should we play in their new casino?
Too many questions, and not so many smart answers... I played those poker tournaments, and they were great, but mostly because people from here who participated in those tournaments.
Well, we could argue they disappeared because they were trying to figure out what happened and also the money needed to start refunding those who lost money. Six months is actually a reasonable time to get the money and the information, in my humble opinion, Though, I am not trying to justify or advocate for a casino which initially appareared to have exit scammed.
I would personally see no problem someone still trusting this casino with some bucks (not big money) and still participating in their poker events. If this was about exit scamming and stealing as much as possible, they could have done it already and not coming back here giving explanations and funds back.
Will you open an account and play at this casino if they come back? I played poker and Farkle mostly (the only casino with Farkle game), slots from time to time, but I am not sure if I will play there again... if they open a new casino with a new name. This question is for all of us I guess, are we ready to forgive this and move on like nothing happened, or we will condemn this kind of behavior and stand firm? Some other members raised good questions, and I can't say that I am satisfied by Betnomi's answers.
They returned this time (after six months) and maybe they will refund all the players, but they can disappear again without any words... it's just weird that they just disappeared without any words, I still can't understand it... they could have written anything back then, but now it's too late...
From my own perspective and experience, it is very unlikely I will lean towards opening an account with them when they decide to come back with a new and rebranded product for us. I did not have an account anyways.
All your points are valid, so are the concerns you point out, if they somehow screwed up big time and disappeared for months, it can happen again. However, considering Betnomi is so community focused here, I would not be surprised by manage to recover a good percentage of gambling Volume.
Since I am rather casual with wagering money, I do not have any need to open many account around in each casino which crosses my path.
