Legal question - given too much money

halibut2209

It's still a law, albeit civil law which is what this would be. The money belongs to the casino (check the T&Cs from when you joined. They are extensive!) so with proof they could sue.

I find it very unlikely that CCTV could pinpoint in the hundred of transactions that took place which person received too much money for the chips that are handed over.

It sounds like that legally he's done nothing wrong and is only a terrible person morally.

I find this disappointing.

Its a casino i bet they can.

They didn't join the casino. We were dining in the restaurant and we decided to gamble in the casino afterwards.

I'm guessing you don't know what law they've violated. To win this bet I need something more substantial than just "civil law".

Thats not actually true.

The bank just takes the money back as they have access to your account and this scenario is covered by the T's & C's you've agreed with the bank when you set up your account. There are circumstances where you can keep the money.

In a casino transaction like my friend had there are no T's & C's that have been agreed between the casino and himself. He has just handed over some chips and received the cash back

I was hoping for someone to point out which law he has violated. I actually think he has violated a law but I can't find any proof of this.

I am close to losing my bet and having to buy him a Krispy Kreme

What circumstances are they?

I've never been to a casino where you can enter without joining. How odd.

If you didn't realise you had received the extra money and had spent it accidentally.

The higher level casinos have expensive restaurants and if you have a table reservation they don't ask you to join and just show you to your table.

Technically to gamble once you are in you should join but once you are in they never ask you.

Yeah, this isn't making any sense. Nice try though. It's been fun

I don't know what you mean? Its pretty straightforward

1) We went for dinner in a casino
2) We gambled after the meal
3) My friend won £75 playing 3 card poker
4) He cashed in the money and received just under £200 back

All I want to know is if he has violated a law as we have been arguing about it.

I realise you don't like me (based on your previous posts) but I have no interest in making up stories for entertainment purposes!

I've picked this one simply because it's in Manchester which is where goater is shown as living.

We operate an open door policy for customers of 18 years and over (you will be asked for ID if you look under 21). Entry to the casino is free. You don’t have to be a member to come in but we do offer a Player Rewards loyalty programme where you can earn more return on your play than with any other casino group.
