What do you want for Christmas?

[cheekymonkey]

1) Casino customer support staff to finally treat us like 'adults'.

2) In the Casinomeister forum it would be nice to see that when a particular person posts, there is some text or a banner next to their username stating that they are primarily either a player, affiliate, or casino staff.

3) A strictly player only section of the forum.

4) Invites for days/weekends away at casino call centres or HQ, especially for the dedicated and loyal player. I would love to have a look around at an online casino's office - to see how they operate etc.

5) Father Christmas to come down my chimney with a big bag of free chips!

And of course we musn't forget - World Peace!

Well, I thought people carried "webmaster" under their name? That used to be policy anyway, I am guilty of not paying attention.

What'ya gonna do with all the players who decided to put up a site with info they thought was lacking online? They don't get to be players anymore? How are you going to draw the line, by how much time is spent on each activity? I would bet a lot of players turned webmasters spend more time playing than a lot of "pure" players.

Erm... Hey call us "Playmasters" or "Affilayers" ! Problem solved

Seeing as Christmas is done, how about what I'd like to see in the New Year?

1) For posters to actually read the forum rules, and learn that there is a whole big section dedicated to casino managers/contacts, with direct links to Private Messages. Imagine that!!!

2) For players to actually read terms and conditions when they sign up and accept a bonus. Don't play disallowed games and then scream foul when you don't get paid.

3) For players to open their casino accounts in the currency of the country in which they reside. If you live in the UK, use British pounds. If you live anywhere else.....DON'T!!! This is the simplest rule of all. If I go to the store to make a purchase, I don't stop at the bank and change my Canadian dollars to US, then buy what I need. I pay with my own currency. DUH!!

4) For shady casinos to clean up their acts or get out of business!!

5) For all unscrupulous webmasters to do a little research, and maybe grow a conscience...and stop promoting rogue, "clip joints".

This would be a start...well, that and the US Government growing a brain.

Please try to keep answers online casino related!

I'd alter that one and say for all players taking a bonusto...etc etc. I play in $ mostly as I get more play for my £ But clearly it's used by some to try and eek more from a casino bonus which I agree seems wrong. Although the casinos should make it a Term of play if they feel it's a problem for them.

OK..I'll add a player one for the New Year. Lose the bitterness. If you don't like a casino, don't play there. Sure have a moan, and it's important that casinos are bought to task over issues that really are issues, but just don't post the same old gripe over and over and over again.

Plus, the poster will get far more attention being adult about it. It's like getting a role in a soap opera then no-one wants you for any other roles because of your image Posts I typically ignore these days are called things like "Casino XXX stole my money" or "Casino XXX is rogue" Or let's rephrase that: "I didn't bother to read the T&C's" or "I went on a losing streak and can't handle it"

I know everyone's different, casinos are far from perfect, and it takes all sorts which can be a good thing, but one of the strengths of this forum is that many casino reps post/respond here and that is largely because some/most people know how to handle problem solving and "negotiation" with some degree of mutual respect for the other parties involved. Bitterness, slanging and personal attacks achieve nothing positive and the sooner unconstructive people who do that are pushed out of the picture the better IMO.

Hey...it's true! I AM the Christmas grinch

Awesome post Simmo!! I couldn't have said it better myself. I don't wear rose coloured glasses, and I know there are going to be legitimate problems from time to time. But if people just keep on attacking reputable casinos, and acting like spoiled kids having a tantrum...the day will come when casino reps will bow out of this forum entirely. I'm not sure some people realize what a valuable resource it is to have a direct line to management. Maybe they'll realize it when it's gone.

Huh! I thought Ronald Macdonald went over to your place and placed a bag of CHIPS at your doorstep.
