Jack

steven

Jack
It's for your protection, you would'nt want us giving out your information to someone else.
steven
i've been playing online casinos for years and i've never been asked for my password
Jack

Jack

Jack
I want to make sure that everyone who has not received the free $27. gets it, so I'm making a follow up list.
steven

Jack
They are working the problem.

That is WEIRD I don't see ANY reason that they would need your password....

And very very true... no one should EVER ask for password... thank goodness you were smart enough not to give him...

I was just on with live chat trying to get that chip & was also asked for my password. What are they teaching these ppl?    My response was "you will never get my password." And they said "check back in 48 hours."  lol

Yep they asked for mine too and I questioned them but I did give it to them (I know I shouldn't have) but I won't be depositing here anyways.

I can honestly say that I have NEVER heard of asking for a password..That raises a red flag for me..They can verify your identity through other ways just like all the other Rivals do.

Hi Members,

I am appalled that this casino is asking for players passwords!! Please under no circumstances give out your password to ANY one. This is a serious violation on the part of the casino.

No one should ever ask for your password in any situation. I would use extreme caution when playing at this site. I am not sure if this is one individual in chat support who is doing this or they are all asking this.

I have tried to contact live chat a few minutes ago to speak to a manager about this but chat is not available. As soon as i find out more info i will let members know.

Hey, Lips, just fyi, I also emailed them with this concern & their reply was an unconcerned "we ask everyone for their password." So I'm thinking all their support is asking that nutzoid question.
Yeah, EXTREME caution is definitely called for.

This is unacceptable! Players should NEVER disclose their passwords, not to customer support not to any1 else. I would understand if CS asked for few first letters of the password ( like they do at 888.com ), but this is definitely a red flag.

ok heres the chat transcript I had with CS :

Welcome to vegasaces.com, Jill will be right with you.

Jill:
Welcome to Vegas Aces, how may I assist you?

Zuga:
Hi Jill

Zuga:
Im Administrator at https://lcb.org/

Zuga:
it was brought to our attention that your customer support is asking players to disclose their passwords

Zuga:
can you please tell me why is that?

Jill:
It is protocol to always request the user name and password to confirm that you are the account holder. This will be requested when you call or otherwise contact live assistance.

Zuga:
thats unacceptable

Zuga:
its clear breach of the players privacy

Zuga:
there r other ways to confirm that player r the account holders

Jill:
We can see the password ourselves and we request it for confirmation otherwise anyone can just contact us and make changes o get information from the account in an unsecure manner

Zuga:
then why not just ask for the first few letters of the password instead ?

Jill:
If you do have any other concerns about our security policy you can always send an email to support@vegasaces.com and request a supervisor to contact you back to further clarify any protocol and security measures

Zuga:
also you can verify the authenticity of the player by asking for email, or phone number

Zuga:
its standard procedure for all the other casinos

Jill:
That also might be know by other persons as it might be available through social networks or other sites

Zuga:
u do understand that no one else is asking for password disclosure

Zuga:
players are very suspicious and i if i may add they r right to be

Jill:
We understand how it might be of concern but we do care to make things as secure as possible and as hard for other people to gain access to your information, again if you do need further clarification we will be more than happy to provide it to you if you send us an email requesting a supervisor or above to address this question

Zuga:
Im sorry , but i dont see how disclosing the passowrd is making things more secure

Jill:
This is a completely secure chat and we just request that for confirmation

Zuga:
Can you please forward this transcrpt to your manager, and Ill make sure to email them too

Jill:
I can absolutely do that for you

Zuga:
thank you very much Jill

Zuga:
I appreciate your help

Jill:
Again, I understand your security concerns so we'll make sure we get back to you on this

Jill:
Have a great day!

Zuga:
you too

Zuga:
bye

Jill:
im sorry

Jill:
can i have your email just in case my supervisor needs it?

Jill:
so he can contact you

Zuga:
yes ofc

Zuga:
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Jill:
great! Thanks for your understanding

I always thought passwords were encrypted, how are they able to see your password?

I would not even feel safe playing here, someone unknowning could be placing their password that they use on everything, some crooked chat personal could get ahold of it and there goes your whole life...

They need to change that policy right away....

I feel the same, i'm not very comfortable with people knowing my passwords

i'll be steering clear of this place just like i stay away from places that send you an email with your password written out, it might not be a big deal to some people but as a matter of principle those casinos dont get my money, simple (:

It is scary because I tend to use the same password for things, so I have now changed all my passwords. Very very unsafe of them to ask you for that, no reason chat operators should be able to see your password either.



:-*

I feel like a HUGE dumb dumb and I should have gone with my gut instinct when asked for my password and said no.  Well I can't fix it now but I'm glad this post was made so that people will realize NEVER to give it.

Good looking out LCB

I'm glad Zuga's here as a player's advocate also.  Who's looking out for the players these days (especially US residents)?

"Susan: For verification purposes, may I have your full name, full address and birth date please"

This is the statement was from another Rival Chat convo.. THIS is how verification should be done...
