A strange story of internet luck – or is it a curse?
A strange story of internet luck – or is it a curse?
A UK website owner is scratching their head after a series of strange events left them almost broke and on the verge of selling up. Since January 2010, the website which promotes online gambling and casino products has seen a constant stream of winners – so much so that the website is being dubbed “winner city”. Owner Jenn Kavanagh who took over the site at the beginning of the year said, “I have worked in online gambling for several years and I have never seen anything like it, its almost like a curse. We have no hope of making any revenue from the site – we are even considering selling it!. It seems that almost everyone who comes here walks away a winner”.
The site http://www.gocasinos.co.uk relies on commission from online casinos, who pay the site owner a percentage of players net losses – but the site isn’t making any money because players aren’t losing their money. “We had a player deposit just $8 and won a $14,000 jackpot. Another player won two jackpots within just hours of joining the site. We love players to win – but the win/lose ratio has gotten ridiculous”.
“Winner City” has been dubbed by some a marketing gimmick – “we wish it was” sighs Jenn. “You only need to look at our commission statements to see that something strange is going on. We took over the affiliate accounts from the previous owner, they had a player who was losing thousands almost every month – as soon as we took over the player started to win massive amounts. Its almost amusing – except it is our livelihood it is affecting!”.
At the moment there are several online casino jackpots of over a million dollars which are on the verge of being won. Jenn is almost scared to list them on the site – “you can almost guarantee they will be won by one of our players the way things have been going recently. We will of course be thrilled for the lucky players – after all who wouldn’t want to be an instant millionaire”.
The unusual winners haven’t been the only thing which has plagued the fledgling business. “Since we have taken over the business we have had to replace all three computers which have stopped working mysteriously. We have virtually given up with laptops – two failed within minutes of one another.” “Phones will ring and there is no-one there” – and most scarily of all both Jenn and another member of staff have seen a strange fleeting black shadow in the building where they work. “Perhaps some people would say these are sign we are not meant to be in business but we have vowed to give it 12 months and see how things work out – Im forever the optimist!”

Fastest payday loans – who is the fastest loan provider?
We are often asked which company pays out the fastest payday loans. Well that depends! There are two parts to a payday loan – the processing and then the payment. For the fastest loan processing, ensure you fill in the online application form with all the details requested and you meet the criteria for the loan you are applying for. Most payday loan providers require you to be over 18, have a regular income and either a bank account or debit card for repayment of the loan. Filling out the loan application correctly avoids delays and you will usually get a decision in principle online in seconds. Once your loan application has been accepted the loan company will contact you to finalise the loan. Usually the process takes around 2 hours. Once your loan has been finalized, the funds are transferred directly into your bank account. If your loan is processed before 3pm you will usually receive your money the same day. The longest part of the entire process is the time it takes your bank to credit the amount to your account – although most banks do credit the money same day.
In a recent survey of our Payday Lenders – speed E Loans performed fastest – with the time from application to receipt of the funds average less than two hours. The whole process can be done online and you can borrow up to £250 straight away.

Yes Loans complaints
Complaints are still pouring in about Yes Loans, a company which advertises loans for people with poor credit. Yes Loans are not actually a loan company, instead they arrange loans for in the subprime market and charge the customer a fee for doing so – usually between £49 and £69. Unfortunately Yes Loans do not always make it clear that they are operating a broker service and people who have not been able to get a loan are having problems getting their fees returned. They are also being bombarded with advertising via phone, text message and post for Yes Loans and sometimes for other companies who customers believe Yes Loans may have passed the details of.
The director of Yes Loans, Keith Chorlton has recently finished a 10 year company director ban for serious misconduct, although Yes Loans was exempt from the ban.
Yes Loans have promised they will refund customers within 3o days of cancelling. Hopefully, customers will get their money back. Comsumers need to be aware that Yes Loans are simply a loan intermediary, who will charge a fee for their services. Being accepted/approved by Yes Loans – does not mean you have been approved for a loan, it merely means that they have accepted your details to pass on to their lenders.
