1cnp Casino has a problem. The most glaring problem that seems to be affecting this operation is that the management condones and encourages the use of shills in many of the popular forums. For a webmaster, this is most frustrating, and for players this is deceptive and insulting. But why is this casino in the rogue section and not merely "not recommendable"? I'll tell you why.
Their website boasts of the following:
"Since no other on-line Casino can match our prizes,
bonuses and offers, some people may not believe that they
are real. That's why we publish several E-mail addresses of
our winners."
Is this a breach of players' privacy? Well just to check and see, I emailed all the people listed. I was shocked to find that most of the emails bounced. But I did receive one response:
Thanks Bryan, This casino has robbed me and now they are publishing my email to be seen by all?? They took money from me. I used my creditcard that was linked to my checking account, and I didn't realize this of course till I had bounced checks, and reading the bank statement in front of me.
There are numerous complaints about them throughout the forums both here at Casinomeister and at Winneronline. But what gets me is the way that this casino responds to anyone complaining about them. For example, a disgruntled player voiced her concern about 1cnp. This is how the casino responded:
I would like to inform you that the stuff regarding you and
damages you did will be sent to the police and the law suite will be
prepared against you. The only thing that you may do to stop it is to publish in
all places your apology and send me links to those messages.

What tact! And this is typical of this casino's response. Their postings and emails are never checked for spelling, they disregard rules of punctuation and grammar. Worst of all, they are emotional and quick to offend.
So who is running the show? Well the software provider is MyCasino-Builder.Com, and their tactics are nearly as obnoxious and careless as 1cnp's. They use forums as their spamming grounds, post a message about what a fabulous software package they have and then send in their shills to hammer the point home. Our forum at Casinomeister has been used as such. Other casinos that run this software are Luxury Star Casino, Duckys, and Casino Ducks (both shut down).
What bothers me the most though, is that there are so MANY players that have NOT won at their games. And it seems that there are fewer players that have successfully cashed out. Are the games rigged? Many players think so. Perhaps there is a connection with "Interactive Multimedia Games"? This is a company that offers casino operators the option to fix the games. You may view a screenshot of their software here (103kb). Now this website Interactive Multimedia Games is being hosted by a server in Israel barak-online.net and curiously enough MyCasino-Builder.com sends their spam from there.
