- Impression and Decision - |
If you are tired of MG, BM, RTG or PT casinos try this one. Grand Virtual has several unique games, nice slots, poor graphics and tones of players' complains! It was very popular some years ago. Now they are far behind. I do not recommend them! Play at your own risk.
Advantages:
- this is not MG, BM, RTG or PT casino
- some games are quite nice
- multi-lingual
Disadvantages:
- this is not MG, BM, RTG or PT casino ;)
- US players are not allowed to play for real money
- poor graphics
- no contact phone numbers
- too many players' and webmasters' complains

I often play at casinos from Grandvirtual.
I had never problems with them but now i am waiting for my winnings since 4 weeks. I contacted Grandvirtual about casinotreasure, elegance, imperial and so on, but i got no answer.
Is Grandvirtual still working, or do they have problems with paying winnings?
... is this imperial casino.com? if so , see my post , i am waiting for winnings from 5 months ago.
http://www.winneronline.com/ubb/Forum1/HTML/003740.html
...
The imperialcasino.com is the same, i think this is a partnership-casino!
I have plaid since one year in these casinos and i never had problems. I do not know what is going on with them?
...
I have just played at Imperial Casino. I made a deposit of 30$. I never got the promised Bonus and my emails were never answered. The last Stunt is that i cant get acces to my account. I havent tried to be locked out from one of my Casino Accounts since the Happy Days in March 2002. When VEGASUSA, now owned by Trident Lounge Group,
locked all danish Residents Accounts.
But this time i will not wait 4 month to get my deposit back.
Well done Imperial Casino!
And to to new and old Players stay away from Imperial Casino and the rest of those Gutter Casinos in The so called Grand Virtuel Games Group!
... Grand Virtual are crooks. Play at your own risk.
... I have played at this group for over three years now and NEVER had any problem besides that it takes them days to reply emails.
I have received all my withdrawals within a very timely manner.
I do recommend them.

Totally agree - except for Imperial Casino (Grand Virtual) - they suck and they're crooks.

Grand Virtual-VP question |
|
|
|
|
|

|
|
|

Has anyone ever won a royal flush at a grandvirtual powered casino. My query
comes as I play these a lot (fullpay JoB, no reversals and fast payers) but I
have had numerous 4 to a royal but never a royal.
Have had royals and multiple royals at every other software where I play at this level and consistency so would like some reassurance that royal flushes have occured with this software.
...
i've wondered the same thing too for quite a while - i've played loads at GV
casinos but have never hit a royal - and only one straight flush for that
matter. Neither have I hit higher than a Full House when playing $25 per hand
which did make me wonder if the larger wins were "switched off" for higher bets
...
Allways look for the "Grand Virtual Gaming Alliance" logo.
Members of GVGA agree to undergo periodic, unannounced testing and review of operations and practices by GVGA or, at GVGA’s request, by any independent testing authority recognized by GVGA.
Remember to allways play safe

I have always wanted to try Imperial Casino but that $30 bonus looks bogus. Leave alone the bonus, does this casino run fair games and pay?
...
Imperial Casino and Global are members of GVGA. Maybe the bonus could be higher, but they are both safe.

Funny you mention that. I've been owed money from GVGA casinos for more than 2 years - and I'm not the only one.
I always look for the GVGA logo so I know which casinos to avoid.
And this: ...Members of GVGA agree to undergo periodic, unannounced testing and review of operations and practices by GVGA or, at GVGA’s request, by any independent testing authority recognized by GVGA. is bull****. Pls. show us the result of just one of these reviews.
As long as I can remember (around 2 years) players have been asking if anyone ever hit a Royal at GVGA-casinos. So far I've never heard of anyone.
Did anyone ever hit a Royal at Casino Stockholm Online? Since it's "största, äldsta och mest populära Internet Kasino online"* I would expect thousands thousands of Royals were hit.

Footzoul you dont know what you are talking about, concerning Imperial Casino.
They dont give you the promised bonus, they dont answer emails and the last they do is locking you out from their website.
Thats only my personal experience from 040303 to this day and it is the first time a casino have done that to me, in my 2 years old online gambling experience. But never mind i will get my deposit on the one or the other way.
Stay away from Grand Virtuel Casinos, you cant trust them!

Were you treated unfairly by a Grand Virtual Casino? |
|
|
|

TI had my account locked and all winnings (2965$) void by casino Elegance which
is part of Grand Virtual Casinos
The casino had no reason to lock my account. They said I was banned and that's it.
This group of casino is monitered by online gaming alliance.
I filed a complain on the site www.gamingalliance.org and I was told by the manager Robert J. Porter that it seems most people don't complain about this casino so he thinks it's my fault although they have no proves against me.
I belive every player who was treated unfairly by this group should complain and maybe if they get enough complains they will understand this group are stealing people's money.
So if you were treated unfairly by any member of Grand Virtual Casino please log on to http://www.gamingalliance.org/members/report.html and tell them your story.
I think if enough people do that they will not be able to ignore us.
If you need anything you can also email me at eyalico13(AT)yahoo.com.
...
Sorry to hear about this Marcelos. I am a little surprised that Casino Elegance and the gamingalliance.org gave no reason for locking your account (or did they?) Keep in mind that these two sites are reportedly owned by the same people. The grand virtual group of multi-lingual casinos were true market leaders some 3-4 years ago. You don't hear much about them these days, apart from their semi high profile sale a few months back.
...
I can tell u this right now its a fake group or should say its own by grand virtual casino. Have you charge back at any of there casinos?
...
I didn't hear about them being sold last year. This group isn't reputable any more but maybe if you pitch a bitch at Casinomeister, he could help. He probably doesn't know the management now, though, as it's been a long time since they were on his site.
gamingalliance.org is just a fake group and the only casinos they recommend are Grand Virtual ones.
...
That is CRAP!! They HAVE to have a REASON for banning you and you have a right to that reason, otherwise, why would anyone RISK their own money wondering if they'll be placed on this "list" ....
BULL!!!!!!
And the part where it says, we're not taking you to court..LOL
THEY CAN'T TAKE YOU TO COURT! WHAT COURT WOULD EVEN ALLOW AN ONLINE CASINO IN COURT??????????????? It would NEVER HAPPEN ANYWAY!! They are A**H***S!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I think everyone should just boycott them...and blacklist em!
...
I played them on September 2004 and won 5875$ there they asked me for documentation and after approving them they only return my deposit back (1000$) they stiffed me for 5000$ winnings with no reason
I completed the wagering in blackjack which was allowed and cashout the winnings the bonus was sticky so I played him also for a total of about 5000$ winnings
I tried couple of complaints to several webmaster thinking maybe without publicity it would be better but till now nothing help
If everyone can help with this group I will really appreciate it!!
Sorry to hear other players were not paid
.. kashmir , I hate to see this. After a period of time you should have brought it to the players. We cant let crackhead casino stay in business. It hurts is all. And some webmaster don't care at all. They want players complaints to be hush hush. So mostly we got an all deposit casino on are hands back by a fake watchdog.
I will have someone email them from the union and see if we can get some answers. Sorry this happen to you
...
To make a long story short I deposited 1,000$ ended up with 3965$ and got only my deposit back.
This means 2965$ of my winnings are held by the casino.
I can only charge back the deposit, therefore it won't help me much.
...
Also there support is a joke, no phone numbers and so far 3 complaints and no reponse to 3 emails. I will give them until tuesday of next week.
...
Do not play there. or any casino in the group
Bethug
...
you can add me to the list of non paid players
My user name in casinolux dadon010
I cashed in 3560$ and only the deposit was returned
I sent them all the documentation they asked.
I obeyed their terms regarding the signup bonus I received.
This is not the only casino which I was not paid only due to the fact that I am from Israel, I think that is the reason too.
If the union can help that would be great , if not just warn other players not to play there
Avoid them at all cost!!!
... Warning players
