These Winner333 players are definitely not....
Located in Spain, Winner333.com is powered by Global Power Gaming group out of Bucharest, Roumania and has attracted the ire of several players who still await payment of winnings, in one case of an amount in excess of $20 000.
Neither the online casino or its software provider are well known, but the bonuses looked good, and inevitably excitement got the better of caution and research, and players gave the place their business.

The resulting frustration and stress has been considerable when pay-outs were not made, evasive tactics were used and the owner of the software provider even threatened to sue one hapless online gambler who complained.
It's a sad tale but another illustration of the importance of thoroughly researching before depositing money with little known sites of dubious licensing and probity.
Alon Peled is a name that cropped up repeatedly in the complaints. This individual claimed that he was merely the "technical provider" but an inspection of the domain registration records indicates a closer relationship:

An aptly named casino....
We have been following the harrowing story of a player who claims he is just one of several being badly treated by Shark Casino.com, although his story suggests a situation so bad in terms of customer treatment as to probably be the worst.
This is what happened to this legitimate player, starting 8 months back:
"On June 22nd, 2006 or so, Shark Casino called me offering me a $5,500 bonus on a $5,000 deposit, half the bonus sticky (so only really a $2,750 bonus), $420,000 playthrough. I took it up.
"I played blackjack primarily, and a few other games, betting $100-$500/hand. I got lucky and finished up, so that when they took off the $2750 sticky part, I had $29 501 left.
"I played around $500,000 during this time, primarily on blackjack, but also on their Rummy game, some video poker, slots, etc. I stayed away from any frowned-upon games, such as roulette, craps, and that sort of thing.
"I requested a withdrawal on June 25. But that was just the start of a long and traumatic struggle to get paid my $5,000 deposit, and the $24,501 I was lucky enough to win.
"I have emailed them innumerable times, and they no longer respond to my emails. I had previously sent them my ID and such documents, and my payout that time took about 3 days.
"Eventually, and it took months of arguing and nagging and stress, they paid me $15 000 in instalments.... but then these dried up too last October.
"Shark still owes me $14,600. I have not been paid by Shark since last October 2006. Despite numerous attempts I have not been able to contact anyone at Shark since that time."
This cautionary tale speaks for itself, and we gave Shark Casino an opportunity to respond to it. After three days they have not.
In January Shark Casino was rogued by the Casinomeister information portal for lack of communication and a poor record of player treatment - further evidence that this casino management is not behaving in a professional or ethical manner.
