I know many affiliates are also players, so even though this is a little off-topic, I’m interested in the answer…
I have played at most of the major brands over the years, and I’ve won my share of promotional drawings, etc. Except at the Fortune Lounge casinos. Has anyone here ever gotten on their ‘Winners Wall’?
An example: One of the recent ICG promotions let you earn a drawing ticket for every bet made, regardless of size. I played Thunderstruck at $0.01 per spin with auto play, and racked up more than 15,000 drawing tickets. Even though they supposedly drew a couple hundred players for prizes ranging from $20 up, I didn’t get a thing. If it were a one-time thing, I wouldn’t worry, but I’ve played an awful lot of different promos over the years to never have won anything.
I’m actually pretty well convinced that either all their promotions are bogus, or perhaps my account is simply flagged to prevent me getting anything.
I remember an off-hand comment by Spearmaster about their International Casino Games tournaments being a scam, but he made that comment during all the affiliate program terms brouhaha, so I didn’t know whether it was sincere or not.
Just curious. Have you won a promotion at Fortune Lounge?
If I ever did call it a scam, it wasn’t in reference to alleged contest rigging. I was referring to it being used as a tool to hide its actions in relation to the changes in affiliate terms and conditions.
In any case, the spam issue then followed. I have vowed never to deal with this group again – not attending any of their functions, nor ever promoting their casinos again unless I get some satisfaction from their senior management.
I haven’t personally won any of the promos, but we have many members who have won some of the bigger promos with FL–everything from cash to cruises. In fact, four of our members have won their way on to the IGC Cruise.

That’s a heck of a lot of tickets.
That does sound kind of odd.
I do know they do have winners, but you may well be flagged. Or they may consider an entry gained by your methods disqualified.
But it does sound that you ought to have placed in that one.
Thanks greedygirl. I suspect it may just be my account. I made a fair amount of money with bonuses at FL in the early years, so I think they may have marked my account somehow.
At least I know now someone is winning those things.
Today, out of the blue, I got an email that I had won a tournament prize of $50 at Desert Dollar. That, despite the fact that I last played at Desert Dollar in August 2004.
Let’s see… I post in the private forums about never winning any promotional prizes at Fortune Lounge casinos, and 5 days later I get my first ever in an account I haven’t played in for 17 months.
Funny how these things work sometimes.
