Rio Party Casino - 27 Nov 2007

hello, has anyone else received this e-mail? I just deposited $35.00 that way and it's been a couple of hours now and I got ahold of live support and Gerald wasn't helpful at all. He asked me can I deposit through pay pal? I was like you work here don't you know? Then I called their phone number and was on hold for over 35 minutes and no one came on the phone. I asked gerald why is no one answering and he said he was the only one there. I'm starting to freak out here a little bit. If it was a bogus e-mail then I want to try to get my money back as soon as possible by contacting pay pal. Please help~!!!
Hello Rio Players,

We are glad to inform you that we have another way to fund your player account. If you have a Pay Pal account and send funds to us at nvpetites@aol.com we will in turn "comp" your player account dollar for dollar in the amount you send us. The difference in comped money is that you will not be eligible for such things like the normal 20% reload bonus or the initial deposit bonus. However, if you send 25.00 or 1000.00 or more, your player account will be credited the full amount with no fees to you. Please be patient as this type of payment is not instant, it could take up to 12 hours to complete but most times it will be done within an hour or so.
We are glad that all of our valued players have shown us so much support in the reconstruction of our poker room. We think it was necessary to give you a room with 1000s of tables and many thousands of players, this however is not an overnight process due to multiple factors. The estimated time frame for completion of the new poker rooms opening is still about the first of the new year. There will be many bonus's avail for the grand opening.

Thanks again for being a big part of the Rio's success.

Best wishes from Taylor and the entire staff at the Rio!

i received the email as well but i thought it was another phishing scam

Call me a pessimist, but I think you've been had I got that email and just deleted it.

looks like a scam email to me...

i got the same email and i talked to live chat he said it was okay to use paypal

I got the same email. Any gambling transactions via paypal stopped years ago.... I would say this is a scam.

I received the same e-mail and I almost deposited today but I remembered they don't do that anymore. I would say if no other casinos are offering paypal, it's a scam. You should get a hold of AOL quickly and see if they can look up the e-mail address for you.

Guys and gals,

If this is the case, I'll try to make contact with them and see what's going on and serve them a warning whereby we'll de-list them.

Please give me 48 hours for a response

Cheers,
Geno/CC

The money was there finally. You have to transfer it to your casino account. It took a couple of days to get there, but it's there! YEAH!! It does work!! I had got ahold of Pay Pal right after it happened and they said that the person I sent the money to their account was in very good standing, but if I should have any trouble with not receivng my merchandise then to let them know. I didn't tell them what I had purchased, just that I had made a purchase for some items. Everything turned out for the good. Going to go play now. Thanks to casino - crush for having my back and going to the trouble of checking things out! it's good to know we've got someone there watching out for us!!!
Sincerely,
tobad
P.S. WISH ME LUCK!!! I wish more places would let us pay through Pay Pal!!that would be awesome!!

Hi tobad ~

I'm so glad you didn't lose your money, and I sure hope this thing is legit, because I, too, received the email. I was just holding back a couple days, waiting for my sitemates to get out the word of what's going on! The members here can be depended on for valuable and true info.

Next email I receive that sounds too good to be true, I will take my turn at risking it to get at the truth.

Can't wait to see what Geno finds out! Fingers are crossed.

Thanks for the info, tobad!

tobad, So glad to hear that it wasn't a scam!! I wish you lots of luck, and look forward to seeing some winning screenshots!

There are a few casinos which do accept paypal, e.g. ladbrokes micrgaming casino accepts paypal i deposit via paypal all the time, but i think it is just for UK and some European Countries they accept paypal as a deposit method!!
