IS THE BLACK WIDOW CASINO SAFE TO PLAY AT

[babysister]

Is the Black Widow Casino considered a Reputable casino according to the Meister? Is iT safe to play there, like do you actually receive your winnings, how long does it take to receive your money? Is the support staff helpful and friendly? I see they are running a special this weekend and I was thinking about trying them out. Do you know if they use the dredful Proc Cyber? Any information would be appreciated before I download and deposit money. Thanks, babysister

Hi Babysister,

There are a number of posts concerning BW casino in the "Grand Banks & Black Widow Q&A" topic section here in our forum that can answer some of your questions. The most important is yes, they are safe to play at. They have recently switched from RTG to Playetech software last month. They were also one of two RTG casinos that I was willing to promote here at Casinomeister mainly because they have a very good reputation, provide excellent customer service, and is professionally run.

I've never had any problems with them babysister, been a player there since they started with RTG. Always got paid (even if it took a long time sometimes) and they had good promos & contests that I won some $$ at too. I haven't had any dealings with them as far as withdrawls since the changeover to Playtech, so I can't speak to that. I wouldn't have any worries if I did though.

As I promised...I played both Black Widow and Grand Banks with the new software. I deposited $50.00 to each...received the match bonus from both. I then continued to play the "manly" game of Video Poker 'till my hearts content...and to fulfill the wagering requirements...and was able to withdraw and receive my winnings in a very acceptable manner to me. Timely and right into my Paypal acct!!! BRAVO!!!

Lucky you, I've been waiting since August 15th for my Paypal winnings, a friend of mine has been waiting 40 days.

I've been told I've been put in a priority list, but as my friend was put on that list a week ago it doesn't fill me with confidence.
I hope you're right about Black Widow, Bryan. I'll grudingly lose money gambling, but I hate losing money because a casino doesn't want to pay out my winnings.

Hi All,

Just to recap: I'm in touch with this casino group often, they're going through some operational growing pains since switchover from RTG to Playtech. Just like any major move, unforseeable things often hammer your plans for a seamless maneuver. Don't worry, payments will come.

I talked to Nicole in live chat about my cashout, which is 30 days old today. She stated what bryan said about the switchover from RTG to Playtech, they are having problems because of the switchover and have been doing things by hand.

Brian respectfully the changeover "excuse" would hold a lot more validity except that they had the same extremely long delays when they were RTG as well - this is not something that has occured since the changeover.

While Grand banks and Blackwidow are honest and you would always get your money- from my experience (and I notice many other posters on boards) they have been consistently slow payers for well over a year.

Colly

Received an email from BW today. They are giving 15% bonus up to $150 for paypal deposits. Hmmm.......beleive i will wait until they pay me the $1500 they owe my before i deposit any more funds into their casino.

Just received another email from BW stating the reason for the delay in payment, and the reason they have doing things by hand recently, is because of fraudulent accounts. They claim to have found a few accounts that were fraudulent. The only withdrawl requests they are manually processing are the ones made between 17 july and 16 august. I guess thats around the time they had their big 33% bonus promotion. They went on to state that any deposit requests after 16 august are being processed normally.
