    World's crappiest casino software - Wagerworks

    I am really getting pissed off..... Stupid error messages 'You can only play in one window at a time', 'If you are having difficulties press ok', random delays....

    Ugh.

    Why do big corporations like Virgin use this steaming pile of dung?

    I don't mind losing my money, but crappy software that times out every other hand gets my goat.

    It's no wonder Hard Rock Casino went over to Playtech.

    It has always been slow. It is not a new thing. It has been slow and crappy and error-prone for a couple of years at least.

    Why can't Wagerworks develop usable casino software?

    LOL... I haven't tested Wagerworks for a couple of years - but the reason it has a following is because it is the only online developer licensed to use IGT and other proprietary games which are commonly found in land-based casinos in the US, and perhaps the UK as well.

    When I tested it I never had any problems - but that was a long time ago like I said. It would be really sad if they started having big problems like the ones you're experiencing.

    It has got a reputation for being slow... Not having a downloadable casino is pretty unusual, and their Flash software does not work well.

    The last weird episode:

    I got 7,5 against dealer 3. I played hand.

    Next hand, 8,3 against dealer Ace. Click no insurance. Software times out.

    Click back on lobby - you have a game to resume. Game loads - game is back at the previous 7,5 against 3 hand! It then said 'if you are experiencing problems press ok to continue.'

    I had to reload the browser a couple of times to get back to the right hand.

    You just don't want to be fighting the software as well as the cards....

    The guideline is you can say crappy on TV. Shitty, no way (unless it's on cable).

    you can say anything on British TV.

    What was that first amendment again?

    edit....

    and another timeout.... This software really does suck.

    The last time I used it, they had a bonus which ran till midnight. But then software was unavailable for two hours and I wasn't able to complete the wagering. They just said 'tough'.

    It is good to know that I am not the only one getting all these error messages.

    Wagerworks has not always been slow. I remember a time when I was able to play blackjack at 600 hands/hour at Attheraces Casino. It has gone downhill a lot since then.

    It is a pity because it was one of the best non-download software and all the operators were trustworthy.

    btw, just for an indication of speed, I deposited £200 at 9:36 BST, and it's now 10:36, and I have bet only £5,500 at £50/hand.

    That's 100 hands in an hour.

    You can bet over 1000 hands on RTG.

    Even Boss software, which is one of the slowest would be 400+.
