  • The BLACK BOOK list.......(maybe there should be an offshore list)

    Still waiting for the day this industry gets together and shares the names of the cheats and undesireable customers.....

    I think the list below is pretty much a joke. I mean, sure there are some guys on there that belong......maybe they all belong, but there are certainly thousands more NOT on the list that have done far worse than the guys below, and they can enter a casino anytime they wish, so what's the point??

      Jeff, it is my understanding that the books do have at least an unofficial list of undesirable customers and chargeback cheats. How widely this circulates, I am not sure; you should check with one of the book owners to find out more.

        Right......there is some sharing of info, but it is very limited when you look at the scope of the whole problem. There are plenty of books on the outside looking in....

            Interesting you should bring this up.

            In the offshore industry, I thought I remembered a group that was building a system that would allow the individual offshore operators to enter info that all operators could be a member of. They could share info regarding fraudulent credit cards, aliases, bad debts, etc.

            The problem was getting the books to enter the data in and I don't think it ever got off the ground.
