    Serendipity - I love that word. I have it down as one of my favourites for a cat's name. Although the list is very long :p

    This has just reiterated to me the fact that gambling sites must RELY on a significant number of people who take up offers like this to become hooked in order to continually fund new members! I know that he has a business to run and a profit to make but he has been qn unpleasant piece of s**t if you ask me!
    When she emailed me with his comments on Saturday I was spitting bricks at what he had done/said (and I did feel guilty cus as I said Iput her on to BB and I have never had any probs in fairness), but she is quite meek and mild when it comes to things like this (complaining) whereas I am a first class moaner who likes a good fight! I told her to email this (below) which she did and has not heard anyhting as yet. Although even if she does she wont take it any further:-
    I WAS a member when the original offer was made and you accepted my deposit of £10. I have not been notified of any changes to the terms and conditions of the free 30 day play of 30x£5 bonus. The tone of your email is deeply offensive- I feel I have no alternative but to forward this matter to the Gaming Commission as you have broken the terms of the contract that we made. I have not broken or abused the rules- it appears that you have blocked my account simply because I have won- it does not state anywhere on the site that I cannot play only bonus games as stated in your previous email.

    Therefore as per the UK Gambling Commission rules I am ask that this case be put before your appointed independent third party for investigation.
    (This is taken from the complaints procedure ([URL="mhtml:{FED324B1-10DC-466B-B667-16C5139052F4}mid://00000135/!x-usc:http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/gh-contact_us/complaints/how_do_i_complain_about_a_gamb.aspx"]http://www.gamblingcommission.gov.uk/gh-contact_us/complaints/how_do_i_complain_about_a_gamb.aspx[/URL]) which I am sure you are aware of. )


    "How do I complain about a gambling transaction?


    All licence holders should have a clear policy on dealing with complaints. This policy must include the process to follow in making a complaint and should be readily available to you in writing. You should follow the process below when you make a complaint:
    1. <LI nodeIndex="1">Complain, in writing, to the licence holder concerned providing as much detail as possible. You should keep a full record of the complaint. <LI nodeIndex="2">If you are not satisfied with the outcome, ask the licence holder to refer the dispute to their appointed independent third party for investigation.
    2. The independent third party should then contact you in the course of their investigation.
    Always exhaust the licence holder’s complaints procedure before looking at other alternatives."


    If I do not hear from you within 3 working days I will pass this on direct to the Gambling Commission.
    lovin' this site!

    Sorry to butt in. I looked at your site and your jewellery is beautiful. I would call your new collection, The Serendipity Collection. I think it encapsulates all the rest of the jewellery sections after your Wedding Collection. Serendipity is such a beautiful word meaning lots of lucky finds. Very apt for your beautiful jewellery.:)

    Thankyou so much! Feel free to butt in with compliments like that anytime you want :-) that's a beautiful name but unfortunately it's one of the two words I cannot pronounce properly to save my life - it comes out as serenpidity! ( specifically is the other one btw!)
    Quite like Serenity though...hmm sounds like old people home now I think about it lol!
    Oh well - thanks everyone again for your suggestions, bingo was so wrong when he said all we do is dribble, that's two problems you lot have solved for me in the last 2 days - this thread rocks!!

    I vote for 'serendipity collection' as well. That's perfect. You can write a blog about the week you spend trying to learn how to pronounce it properly! xx
    Just £10,852.28p to go...

    Trust that little voice in your head that says "Wouldn't it be interesting if...";
    And then do it.
