So are you telling me if I lost 1.3 million i could claim that their systems were flawed?
WHY I THINK NOT

They would anal rape me for every penny.

This is BS, and is going to ruin online gaming for the rest of us.

I am so glad I got into internet gambling in its infancy...I took several casinos for about $1100, at $50-$100 a time.

Well the guy was an idiot for trying to go along with playing he wrote the robot. Another thing why the hell didn't he cash out after he got a certain ammount of money. You don't let it build up to over a million.

This is the risk with online gambling, but what can you do. I can't do anything in the states to gamble(not 21 yet) so I gamble online(sports bets and poker).

Internet DOJ

This is why an internet police department would be nice. So maybe all those cia people who are working on stopping 7 year old kids downloading crappy songs could look at people blatantly witholding a million dollars. I mean i realize a crime is a crime, but its like taking police and making them sit at stop signs and watching for a rolling stop while people are committing drive bys on the freeway.

Sorry, that may have been over the top.. But i did some online gambling a few years back and won quite a bit. And suddenly the website and company disappears. I was not pleased.

Uhh yah...if a guy came to me claiming he won 1.3 million

and then claims

“How did I do it then? I got into their system, changed the game to favor me on multiple occasions at multiple casinos, avoiding detection, leaving no trace, and remember these changes only affected me. Nobody else had the same results at any time playing the same game. Damn, I’m good.”

I would say , "F**K you, you're not gettin' a penny"

Perhaps we are a bit uneducated... Or just plain ignorant.

CIA investigating people downloading songs? Hmm...

Internet Police Department you say...?

And don't give me the line that they don't/won't do anything... Trust me, they have, will, and will continue to do so for a very long time...
