If an ATM pays you out wrong you are obliged to return it to the bank? Think I'd prefer to die than do that.

nice thatcherite attitude

And if it underpays you?

[MANTIS01]

Are the banks going to give back our money?

Would go ape shit.

Are the banks going to give back our money?

Yes. I requested £500 but the machine gave me £300 and ate my card.

Bank sorted it no problem.

What about if like in greece they jus decide to take 30% of savings just because they think it is a good idea? What about the billions they already took from the public to bail them out and pay their fat cat bosses millions in bonuses for not doing a good job. Will these monies be given back?

That was the Government, I believe, they simply used the Banks as the instrument to implement.

As Tikay said that was the government not the bank.

And when the banks get re-privatised they should make that money back - they 'could' even make a profit, obviously it could get screwed up and the government makes back a bit less then it paid - but the value of them not going under will more than make up the difference if there is one.

Yeah I know, they still handed over money to the government which was not theirs to give tho so not to far fetched. just a flippant point about the little man getting screwed in many different areas and not alot can be done about it. It was a good point about the casino contacting all losers in punto to give them their money back but doubt it will happen.

The law is the law, & the law obliged them to do it, they did not have a choice.

It had nothing to do with the banks.

The "little man" does not do so badly, one way & another.

It was Cyprus and was abandoned.

I read that if you left your money in a Cypriot bank for 10 years and then you'd faced the levy you would still have done better than someone who had left his money in a UK bank for 10 years.

The Cyprus banks were busto

The deposit guarantee scheme covered up to €100k

Those with over €100k lost money, just like they would in the UK (£80k deposit guarantee)

If you're paid out via a Casino because there was an overpayment, or because the fairness and integrity of the game was compromised, legally speaking it is considered as deception/theft and they are able to recover this money via legal channels.

I think this goes out of the window when you, the Casino, change the game yourself.

If I come to your casino and successfully persuade you to take all the and out of your blackjack shoe, we are now playing a modified game which you agreed to. If I play and win, it's no use going "Waaahhh, it's all so unfair" afterwards.

The "fairness and integrity of the game" was compromised BY THE CASINO!

Oh God, I've just had a terrible flashback to the "overpaid by the bookies" thread.

How long ago was that? 2007?
