B.C. Lottery faces lawsuit from second problem gamblerPrevious TopicNext Topic

Self put on the list or not they allow him to play there fore he must be paid.He will win this one for the obvious reason,he played his money without interruption. Just like an alcoholic going to a bar where they know he was banned, because of his drunk driving,they still continues to service him cause he hadn't had an incident of drunk driving so far ,so they keep serving him until he's in another drunk driving accident. Should the Bar be held responsible. After all they took his money even when he wasn't getting drunk.Same applies to the casino.However, let us look at it  like this both party take responsibility. PAY THE MAN!!!

I see it as the Casino holding up their end of the deal.

He signed a contract that said they would not pay him his winnings.

It doesn't matter that they didn't catch him before, nobody's perfect.

If he wins in court, everybody gambling junkie with a contract will be tempted to do the same thing.

He claims they violated the contract by allowing him to play but he also violated the contract by playing so it's a wash.

It's called personal responsibility.

It's a great concept.

b.c casinos are regulated by b.c.l.c. british columbia lottery corporation, and they are very strict only when its in their favour,if the customer lost all his-hers money they dont care but if you win big they scrutunize very carefully and if your name is on the exclusion list they WILL NOT pay,its the bclc rules and regulations. so he has lost and mr.lee had the full knowledge about this fact,he will definitely lose his case the only winner will be his lawyer

Exactly he signed a contract saying he knows the risk of having his jackpot or winnings taken from him. There's also other things in the contract like he can be fined up to a certain amount of money for being at the casino, that he's tresspassing and if caught to many times...the police maybe involved,and also he acknowledge there's a chance the casino staff might not catch him everytime he gambles ..but they do their best.

It sounds like you have no idea what the agreement was.  They'll throw you out if they know you're there, but they have no obligation to waste their time looking for the people who voluntarily promise not to show up, so they held up their end of it. The only one who broke the agreement is the guy who thinks other people are responsible for his personal shortcomings. He agreed not to show up and gamble, and he agreed that if he did show up he couldn't win anything. That's two ways that he broke the agreement. Since not paying the guy is part of the agreement, they would be breaking their agreement if they did pay him. The  BC lottery has done everything they agreed they would do. Some people are just losers. This guy must be a stupid loser.
