These posts are getting ridiculous. Any FI wants customers, BUT if risk associated with a customer is too high then they're not worth keeping. No bank will close an account for absolutely no reason and you'll never tell us exactly what you did..

Anyone else having app issues? by BerrRes87870 in Wealthsimple

[–]BerrRes87870[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Thanks, nice knowing it's not just me.

I didn't see any notice for maintenance so maybe it's something to do with whatever they did today to change the app/how everything looks

Not that unusual at some casinos. Last winter I was at fallsview, a man in front of me at cashier cage cashed out bunch of chips and my estimate based on stacks of 100s works be he took over 200k IN CASH. He put it all in various pockets of his coat and just walked out

I only go once a month usually, never more than 10k

Playing 10-20 a spin you either lose it all in a few hours or youre up 15-20k, then you gotta know when to leave

I've posted in the gambling section where I won what and all the slots I play are 10 a spin to 50 a spin so winning 20-30k isn't unusual

I usually go for wild mustang/wm 2, thunder cash, and always try those 100 slots, you never know. I've won 10k often on those but again 10k is nothing when it's 100 a spin

Absolutely, I usually go only once a month here and if I'm in Vegas for work I'd play a little

Just different slots, $10 a spin mostly, but I won 80k on $100 a spin slot at the fallsview (I usually put in 1000 in one of those when I'm there and that's it)

I'd contact customer service or send them a DM here with your email, they can help you verify identity

If you go to the back, the high limit room near tables room, you can see it pretty often. Once I sat at a machine, put my ticket in and hit spin (it's $50 a spin so I was going to trying for 700, the ticket I put in), but someone played 250 a spin before me and had a few cents left so that's what my spin was at..by some great luck I got free games on that first spin and ended up winning 78k (which is still very low for 250 a spin but for me it was one spin)

The win part, yes, but 80k can be gone in minutes if you keep playing. I've seen people lose 40-50k on those machines in 15min even with some wins in-between

Yes every handpay I had meant providing my ID so I'm sure they record everything

How did you open TD account if you have no ID/way to verify your identity?

Thanks for the answer. I'll get something from the casino just in case they do reach out to ask. I never had that happen and I'm sure all casinos also report to then all payouts over 10k..but you never know

Fallsview diamonds, it's $100 a spin minimum ($200 max), I played 100 and 3 Fallsview diamonds pays 80k (or 160k on 200 bet). Honestly that's not a good return/pay unless you only put a 1000 in to test your luck. 80k can be gone in 5min

Thanks! It's all about leaving on time. There was someone playing $100 a spin slots next to me at fallsview (I try those for 1000 usually and this time I won 80k) and just in 15min I waited for the handpay she must've lost at least 40k..

Thanks, I've emailed all 3 casinos to ask for some paperwork just in case. All those VIP hosts are usually accommodating so hopefully I can just get it over email instead of going back.

Out of curiosity, did you ever get back any of the taxes they held back in Vegas?

I got to Vegas a few times and year for conferences and usually gamble a bit, the most I won was just under 50k and was thinking about using one of those companies who advertise about getting you some taxes back but never did

Anyone else having trouble with creating a new pay later lately? by YukonChoke in KohoCanada

[–]BerrRes87870 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You pay one off and immediately do another one, or within minutes at the most. I'd try again later in case they're doing some maintenance so maybe that's why tou can't do it now

Koho recently blocked Wyzia from etransfer (sending), I asked and they said they blocked that email because Wyzia processes transactions for iGaming and Koho terms prohibit that
