GAMBLING GRUMBLES is the free mediation service and can help you if:

1) You feel that you have been treated unfairly by an on-line casino.
2) You have not been paid your winnings
3) You have not received the bonus as it was offered to you
4) You have received bad service or incorrect information

GAMBLING GRUMBLES is the site to consult to see what experiences others have had.

Visit the reports before you open an account at a casino.


GAMBLING GRUMBLES will contact the casino once it receives a valid complaint.

Reputation is vital to the prosperity of a casino. Therefore, most casinos will cooperate with Gambling Grumbles investigations to avoid a negative report.

Whilst Gambling Grumbles cannot guarantee results, it does its best to resolve all disputes.


REQUIREMENTS OF THE PLAYER:

1) Gambling Grumbles requires that you have contacted the casino yourself at least once.
2) You must tell us what the casino replied (or whether it ignored your complaint).
3) Different casinos have different rules, especially in regards to bonuses, and it is your responsibility to read what they have posted on their websites.
4) You are obliged to follow the posted terms and conditions of the bonus. If you meet the wagering requirement and other terms you should be paid.


REQUIREMENTS OF THE CASINO

1) It is the casino’s responsibility to live up to the promise it has made.
2) If the player accepts a bonus offer, the casino is bound to the terms of the offer.


INVALID COMPLAINTS

If Gambling Grumbles feels that the complaint is invalid:

1) You will be informed and given the reason.
2) The casino will not be contacted.


UNACCEPTABLE BEHAVIOUR

Your claim will not be met if there is evidence of:

1) Opening multiple accounts
2) Use of false or misleading information
3) False claims or tampering with screen shots
4) Charging back losses
5) Other dishonest behaviour


SUCCESSFUL MEDIATION

It is Gambling Grumbles’ experience that most complaints are the result of misunderstandings between the player and the casino and can be resolved through mediation. It is in these cases that Gambling Grumbles is most effective.


GAMBLING GRUMBLES’ POLICY

1) In no case will Gambling Grumbles allow advertising considerations to play a role in dealings with a casino. A complaint against the biggest advertiser will be treated in the same way as a casino which has never advertised. On the other hand, we don't believe that those few dishonest casinos are too happy to have Gambling Grumbles exist so they will be less likely to advertise.
2) Your full name will never be published on Gambling Grumbles (although you may be referred to you by your first name, last initial, and city) and -- whether the casino agrees with you or not -- a report will be placed on the Gambling Grumbles website so that others can determine for themselves if they want to play there.


SENDING A GRUMBLE

1) Register with Gambling Grumbles (only one registration required)
2) Please send an email message to report the details of your Grumble.
3) Provide as much information as possible, including what attempts you have made to get the casino to settle problem
4) Supply the e-mail address you use for your casino account.
5) You might be asked for more details if Gambling Grumbles needs these before approaching the casino.
You will receive acknowledgement of receipt of your complaint and will be told whether and how Gambling Grumbles will proceed.


WHO ARE BEHIND GAMBLING GRUMBLES

GAMBLING GRUMBLES was operated by Gambling.com until the site was sold in December 2003.

It was the brainchild of Steve Russo who set up and ran Gambling Grumbles until handing over to Julie Sidwell. Steve is back and is again mediator and manager at the new Gambling Grumbles.

Graeme Levin, the founder and operator of Gambling.com until it was sold in 2003, is the founder and owner of GamblingGrumbles.com and the new Gambling Grumbles. Graeme is highly respected in the industry and was a doyen of the Online Gambling Industry, being involved since 1996.

Both Steve and Graeme gamble and understand what’s important to player and casino alike.
