Rushmore casino: confiscated funds now on the way to being fully reinstated to the player


The matter raised in my Rushmore Casino theft article has been largely settled, with the player receiving to date a total of $6,444, representing his full original cashout of $7444 less a $1000 bonus which had been removed previously.


I'm sure this will be sorted out before long.


It remains unclear why the casino's frequently stated apparent failure to "verify" the player, after numerous attempts on the part of the independent investigators to prove to Rushmore that he had passed all aspects of their verification process and was therefore fully verified, remained an issue to them.


Also remaining unclear is the casino's apparent and uncorroborated belief that software had been used "...in order to accumulate the same winnings each time". If any such software exists it is surely the end of the online gambling industry, as no player, other than those of extreme masochist tendencies, would ever lose. But of course, this was not a credible claim.


And it is also further unclear why Bryan "Casinomeister" Bailey locked the player out of his forum and dismissed his claim as fraudulent, when clearly it was not, the only fraud in question being that practised by the casino on the player. But maybe an actual investigation, on the part of this self-proclaimed "player watchdog", was a bit too much to ask.


I'm happy that the player is well on the way to receiving all his money. He was highly cooperative and courteous all the way through. And while cooperation, courtesy nor any other human quality should be necessary in order to collect rightfully-owed winnings, one recognises the realities of the online gambling industry.

Your last paragraph rings especially loud. It's ridiculous how often the Player 'Advocates' of this industry will use a player's colourful language or anger as an excuse to ban them from their forums or refuse to help them etc.

I don't know what the social 'rule' is for this sort of thing, but if there was a Family Feud question about "appropriate reactions to theft of large amounts of money" - pretty sure "anger" would score a lot of points.

I would wager my life on it.

The player has now received the missing $1000, and this matter is finally closed.

Your efforts on this case were admirable and I applaud them.

And if the 'matter' is limited to Embalu ONLY, I agree the 1.5 year painful process is now closed. And I'm glad for Embalu.

But I would think the 'matter' is somewhat greater than Embalu and his stolen money. I would think the 'matter' would be the fact that it was stolen and only the casino group would know how many times they have done this. There are very few people who have Embalu's amazing strength and persistence. All those people [including me] would likely have never been heard from. Particularly if they didn't have Embalu's master of his non-native tongue.

The way I see it, the 'matter' has never been more OPEN. Or more unresolved.

I was referring only to the specific matter in hand, not the general status of the Rushmore group.
