What are your favorite casinos... and why?

[Pinababy69]

You guys crack me up, lol. Hmmmmm, you said to keep it unbiased, but gonna be hard for me. My best casino in terms of customer support, prompt payouts and overall enjoyment is 32RED (yeah I know big surprise, lol). As JohnSteed said, Pat Harrison has changed my overall view of online gaming/establishments considerably (in a favourable way). This is the ONLY casino I have ever played at that has a dose of humanity mixed in.

The remainder of my list in no particular order......Roxy Palace (quickest email support I have ever experienced), the Grand Prive Group (my first group of casinos I ever played at), the Jackpot Factory Group (not too happy with them lately, but not their fault really....I can blame an a**hole ex-husband with an agenda to make my life miserable - long story), and I used to really like Vegas Partner, but like Bellerock, their email support is almost non-existent and that turns me right off.

As for RTG, don't play that much, but if I did, my choice would be SciFi and Breakaway. As for Playtech, don't play there anymore. I really like Lasseters as well, but again, just haven't played there in awhile.

My Mistake.

ZIPANG CASINO!!!

liquidsoap, as you know, I too like Sci-Fi casino, why do you like them so much? Just curious, seeing how you're one of the few who mentions them here at this forum.

Gulp, please ignore my negative thread about Phoenician then.


Thank you VERY much for your kind words Pinababy69.

Note-to-self: Forgot to add Pinababy69 amongst THE die-hards who go to 32Red. Oversight on my part.

Guess I'll let it slide this time...hee hee hee.

32Red - know how to treat you right
Roxy Palace - prompt payments and more monthly bonuses than you can shake a stick at

Coming up behind:

King Neptunes - only joined cos of the Slot Junkies comps but they are impressing me lots so far. Great communication and lots of good promo ideas. Spear always told me they were good and he should know i guess.

I have never been very lucky at online casinos, so I don't rate them according to how much luck I've had at a particular casino. My biggest single wins have been at Cherry Casino and 32Red, and my only Royal at 32Red, and the rest of my online gambling has been rather unremarkable as far as big wins, especially during the past 6 months or so. But that's to be expected. Anyway I think you're the luckiest where you play the most. It's the lure that's in the water that brings in the big fish, eh? The ones in the box don't do much good. But I digress (surprise...)

I really only play at 32Red. I mean >90% of the time. Now and then I deposit $10-$100 in some others, but whenever I've got a larger wad of e-cash (not very often) I ALWAYS deposit at 32Red. It's a matter of trust. My reasons:

1. I trust them. I believe that my money is safe there (apart from me gambling and losing it all of course ). I know that if I should win $10,000 (yeah, right ), I wouldn't need to lose sleep over whether I'd be paid or not.

2. Their customer support is top-notch. I always get a friendly response to my e-mail queries within 15-30 minutes. I think they've become very popular these days, it used to be less than 15 minutes. Anyway, 30 minutes is OK in my book. They also have an instant chat option, always respond within a couple of minutes, and you can ask them to credit a bonus instantly or flush a cash-in or whatever, they'll do it right away. IMO, a working INSTANT CHAT system is extremely important.

3. I have never read a legitimate complaint about 32Red anywhere.

Of course, being a Club Rouge member helps, because they give you a nice monthly match etc. I don't actually even gamble that much $$, I would probably not be a VIP in any other casino, but 32Red haven't thrown me out of CR yet!

Apart from trusty ol' 32Red, I sometimes deposit at:

Lasseters (I love the fact that they have the individual slot machine payout percentages posted). They have a good support, with instant chat, and they have cool slots. I've never made a withdrawal there so I don't know how that works. I know that the first withdrawal is cheque only. They did give me a free $10 when I complained that I never win anything worth withdrawing there Much good that did me... anyway, I like Lasseters for a variety of reasons. No-download is a bonus as I have a Mac

Cherry Casino - I've won biggish there (Keno, mind you) and they proceeded with the withdrawal in a timely manner. No complaints. I don't like their automatic 30% monthly bonus as I always forget to tell them I don't want it, and their slots are boring, but they do have that new 8-liner which can keep you going forever and I suspect it has a very good return %. No-download I haven't played there recently at all, though.

888.com - I haven't played there recently as their slots are boring, but they do have decent support, and I like the little surprise bonuses they throw your way. I've never withdrawn anything so I don't know how that works. No-download Mac casino

Geisha Lounge - I like to try the RTG slots now and then, and Geisha Lounge seems to be a decent outfit. The support is slowish, and their software did let me play my balance to minus 150 for some reason, but they did not demand it back I don't play there regularly though. They're Meister accredited so that's a big plus for them. Never made a withdrawal.

City Club - I opened an account there when they became Meister accredited, and the support seems to be good and they have all sorts of promotions going on. Other than the original $100 deposit I haven't played there though. The no-download Playtech software works nicely on my Mac. They seem a good outfit.

Intercasino - I like the casino but I don't like the e-cash PIN system. I haven't played there recently.

I'd say about 90% of my gambling takes place at 32Red, 5% at Lasseters and the remaining 5% at the others I mentioned.

I'm considering trying out King Neptunes, I've heard they're great, and maybe some other casinos that are participating in Simmo!'s great slot tourney, and maybe Intercasino as well. You rarely hear a bad word about Intercasino.

Geez, is that the time?!?! Gotta run

Cheers,
SM

My favourites, and why:-
Will Hill: Good monthly bonus with sensible WR.
Intercasino: Good monthly bonus with sensible WR.
32Red: Good monthly bonus with sensible WR.
HardRock: Good monthly bonus with sensible WR.
Spin Palace: Good regular bonuses with sensible WR.
Ladbrokes: Good occasional bonus with excellent WR.

Curious KK, have Littlewoods decided to let you take part in their bonuses again? I recall you mentioning something about them not allowing you to take part in their promotions anymore, was this due to a great amount of (good) luck? Had they not denied you future bonuses, would they rank amongst your favorite casinos?

Wow, 90% is a lot! They must love your business. I'd say these days, 32Red likely get 25-40% of my monthly deposit money. I like to use a small percentage of that towards a casino I've heard something positive about, and would like to see for myself. While I certainly love putting the bulk of my deposits towards various MG casinos, I find it keeps things fresh to occasionally drift-off to casinos which are powered by different software providers.

I've only heard great things about Lasseters and AusVegas, and while I've deposited there in the past, cashing that 1st check of winnings will be a bitch considering where I'm located. South Korean's PROHIBIT online gambling, and methinks the bank might not let it slide (though they've been kind to me in my years here). Or rather, it'll surely raise some red-flags. Maybe it's just my paranoia.

Yes, I agree with your point about their customer support (being "non-existent"). I would most likely lump VPL with FL and BelleRock for relatively poor (relatively poor amongst MG affiliates that is) customer support. The best way to get things done (IMO) with these groups, is to call them direct and not waste time with emails (even though they prefer emails, DESPITE oh-so-many non-replies). Unfortunately, being in South Korea (or likely for EVERY forum member), means that the phone bill is going to be higher at the end of the month (not fun).

Thank you for your replies/posts good people! Keep them coming.

32 RED, because if I say I like them here - they might flick the 'win switch' on for me at Spring Break - because I'm having a NIGHTMARE in the slots competition!!!!!! I mean, come on, these five reeler free spin machines are my bread and butter - and I'm getting anhilated!!!! Heh hee.. Bloomin typical, the one month I need to produce a big win, and I can't hit a barn door from five yards

Seriously though - They are head and shoulders above the rest. Like everyone's said... Customer service, transparency, payouts - they just can't be faulted in any regard, and that is something to be enormously proud of.

I play (I'd imagine) more than most - and 32RED will continue to be my main casino of choice.

[ExSparr]

my favorites:

Inter: What shall I say!?
Omni: Never had any problems, nice RF rate, still VIP though missing the WR from time to time
ukbetting: nothing to complain, nice DB results (I love winnings in Pounds )
Littlewoods: nice offers from time to time
