RYANAIR Scratchcards gone bust??

peterbaker

On a recent Ryanair flight I weakened and bought a scratchcard ... yeah I know ... must be dumb, mustn't I? :-)

Back on the ground, I have just remembered to check the special code against their https://www.WinaMini.eu website.

... but I can't!

Try clicking Enter on that site ... you get

"Error determining draw status, Administrator has been notified "

What does that tell us?

mcfisco

It tells us that the administrator of the website has been sent a copy of the error notice

peterbaker

Oh right. You interpret everything you read in the most benign fashion, do you?

There are more types of Administrator than the one you mention.

I only wanted to Enter the website - I hadn't input any data ...

How does a website determine a draw status exactly, anyway?

It is shoddy and highly questionnable which is why I have questionned it.

mcfisco

I'm sorry if my reply was too concise for you but if I have an error on a website & the error mentions reporting it to the administrator - I would always assume it meant the site administrator

Which is very similar to details for another gambling and betting co., Travelcards Limited of same address, which is no doubt associated with Travelcards (Malta) Ltd of unknown address who are stated as the promoter on my scratchcard, and Internet Intelligence Limited which is yet another small set up registered at Holy Oak Cottage.


Can I really be bovvered to even look up a telephone number now?

Nah.

Just looks like a veneer of thin ice to me which is also reflected in the dodgy website.

Ryanair sold me a gambling contract which it appears can't be performed.

Why does our largest airline consort with such?


As an aside, if you don't want to buy scratchcards, Ryanair also sells Terravision bus tickets (Terravision are an airport bus company whose buses have been seen overtaking National Express buses, pushing-in across lanes at traffic junctions and even crossing double white lines like some types of car driver we all recognise.)

I had better not tell you what I was told about how many Terravision drivers might have been suspected of using the same drivers licence, and whether or not Terravision buses can be seen in the third lane on motorways - for unlike the above, that would be hearsay!

You pay your money, yer takes yer choice.

What is your problem?!!

Your last line sums it up - if you don't like it, travel with someone else!
