Casinomeister Awards 2005

[The Dude]

Hi all,

Vortran and I are busy formulating the Casinomeister Awards for 2005. What I'd like from you, my dear forum member, are some suggestions for categories that I haven't covered before.

To get an idea - check out the previous years here:

Best and Worst of 2004
Best and Worst of 2003
Best and Worst of 2002
Best and Worst of 2001



If you have comments for Best Casino/Worst Casinos etc. please just PM these to me (I've already made up my mind on most of these anyway). Please don't post these suggestions - that will only lead to a run-away train thread.

Just post categories please

Ideas...

Hi Casinomeister,

I have a few suggestions:

- Best customer support team

- Best casino manager

- Best site design

- "Underdog Casino of The Year" - Going to a casino that doesn't get enough recognition, slightly underrated, but neverthess, has a great reputation.

- Best/Worst casino portal

- Best/Worst post of the year

- Best/Worst thread of the year

- Best casino software - MG, Crypto, PlayTech, Boss Media, ect...

- Best/Worst slot

- Best "New Idea" by a casino (something original)

- Best/Worst NEW GAMES (eg. Loaded, Marvel Games, Bejeweled)

- Best method of payment

- Most Improved (Casino) Reputation Award - A casino that made great strides in '05, to improve their not-so-good reputation from days past.


Hope some of these help.


Cheers!

You have mail CM

 

[JackTenOff]

Best/Worse bonus wagering requirements

 

[Simmo!]

Best / Worst game period - be interesting to see if any of the new games have challenged the old faves.

Worst Marketing Campaign

Most Innovative Player Incentive

Second Best Robot Award - I wanna know who would have won if Vortran hadn't rigged the vote!

 

[Pinababy69]

Best / Worst game period - be interesting to see if any of the new games have challenged the old faves.

Awww Simmo, that was exactly what I was thinking, lol. I guess GMTA.

 

[KasinoKing]

How about "simplest / most confusing bonus Wagering Requirements"

My head is still spinning trying to understand Grand Prive's new eZbonus!

 

[ergopro]

Best/Worst Payouts...
Best/Worst Promotions...
Smoothest/Tackiest Reachability (meaning how to get in touch with them)...
I really hope that Honorary mention of "Bloopers" goes to Trident with an answer, "We apologize for any incontinence this may have caused you"

Hey, KK...it's eZbonus cause it's same kinda mess as eZboards

 

[gmblpdam]

Funniest conversation with CS

 

[slotchik]

How about CM Members favorite casino?

 

[jetset]

How about another poll?

 

[paul02085]

How about Best/Most Annoying Poster?

 

[Westland Bowl]

I know the focus of the forum is online casinos but how about gambling products, like those "how to beat online casinos" by using various strategies or revealing "secrets" of the casinos. For example, "Purple Chip Blackjack" ( www.purplechipblackjack.com ) or any of the Silverthorne publications.

 

[The Dude]

How about Best/Most Annoying Poster?

hahacasino received "Most Annoying Poster" last year - and then he got himself banned.

 

[erp1]

How about:

Most Annoying SPAM Campaign?

 

[bagofmaggots]

[Sodax77]

Bryan, did you got this idea by accident or after i sent Support-Award suggestion via PM (Last week)

You can press "Thanks" if... Yes lol

Ok... How about Best Manager/Casino Operator or something like that. Because some casinos don't care about these posts at all, while some Managers, Casinos, Affiliate managers, etc are here helping quite fast, if there is any problem or something.

 

[pokeraddict]

Best poker room
Worst poker room

Best poker support
Worst poker support

Best poker software
Worst poker software

etc

 

[jetset]

How about:

Most Annoying SPAM Campaign?

Great suggestion - I second this...and the first nomination is not going to be a problem!

 

[tencardcharlie]

How about: best new category on the best and worst list.

 

[vinylweatherman]

Best

How about most "do-able" promotion, along with most impossible promotion.

I rate a "doable" promotion as one where the reward is easily greater than the risk of participation.

An example might be "wager $100 on Blackjack and receive a $100 free chip with no WR!"

Worst might go to the "Free 25 for every player that wagers 50,000 on slots"

There will definitely be some spam awards - it's been a long year.

Funniest conversation with CS

That's given me an idea:

Stupidest CS rep!

 

[paul1]

How 'bout Central American Casino Most Likely To Have a Horse's Head Placed in your Bed?

 

[paul02085]

That's given me an idea:

Stupidest CS rep!

This would probably have to be a group award

 

[paul02085]

How 'bout Central American Casino Most Likely To Have a Horse's Head Placed in your Bed?

Hmm, wonder who that would be?

PS- That is a very fat baby bee u have there. Looks as if he has had his bottle filled many times!

 

[dominique]

I like the "best new game" suggestion.

I would love to see a poll on that.

 

[max1mike]

How 'bout Central American Casino Most Likely To Have a Horse's Head Placed in your Bed?

well, that really is no competition is it? lol

I have a candidate for the most doable promotion. I just got a CD from Intercasino UK with a bonus offer "wager 5 on the new Marvel games and get 10".

 

[erp1]

How about: Best come-back

I'm a little ambiguous about such a reward.

My spontaneous reaction when i observe stupid decisions and bad manegemeny in this industry is: punish the fools. But from a player's point of view it might be more constructive to reward a casino that has made a stupid mistake, but try to regain a good reputation by "doing the right thing" to correct the mistake.

 

[Petunia]

** How about:

The best/worst online rep
Most improved group-rep
Most honest rep

I think, every year, the group as a whole gets their rewards, but often, there is one rep (by name or association) that goes the extra mile. Maybe it is time to get that rep/owner/correspondent a bit of credit too. They do an amazing job.

[chuchu59]

How about CM Members favorite casino?

Good suggestion slotchik. Even if the total number of votes are much less than GOM,at least they are likely to be more credible. No votes are bought. However,it would be better still if they are categorized into different software ie MG,RTG Playtech etc.

 

[KasinoKing]

Just thought of another category...
Best, worst & most dodgy custom avatar!

I've got to be in with a shout on that last one!
(Just added a beard to my Santa outfit. )

I vote for slotchick in the best avatar category.

 

[casinomike]

I just hope Joyland is awarded one of the 'worst' categories

 

[Ivy29]

annoying poster

hahacasino received "Most Annoying Poster" last year - and then he got himself banned.

OMG I remember that putz. That one will be hard to top!

Great ideas so far (especially John Steed-nice job, you read my mind).
