Rival slots.....am I being thick or what?

[bryand]

I responded to your question about the 10 - 15 day waiting period on the other post.

I also have recent experience with the one causing you to cross you fingers. If you have problems, PM me and I'll give the 411.

....if I was to try Rival, which casino would everyone reccomend.

I understand the situation in the US (which is different here in the UK) about withdrawals on bank transfers but I think in most instances, withdrawal delays are about the casino either :

a) being genuinely inefficient
b) knowing that a few days in their account is a few more days interest and over the year this would amount to serious money.
c) not being able to or not wanting to fund the withdrawal.

Logically, there can be no reason why there should be any delay at any casino. They are generally using the same processing facilities but :

- I regularly play at Club World, 3 Dice and Ruby Fortune.
- I use Click 2 Pay for virtually every transaction to withdraw.
- All 3 of the above will 'flush' my account immediately and yet only 3 Dice will pay 'live' into my Click 2 Pay account i.e. the money can be there within minutes of a withdrawal happening. Not always but most of the time and I am sure they have certain criteria to make this happen.

The point is that the others can do it but choose not too. I guess, as consumers, it is up to us to decide what is / isn't acceptable to us. Don't get me wrong, I have NO issues with the above casinos - to me, they have all been pretty good outside of the normal love / hate relationship. My point is that 3 Dice choose to be customer focused, it's not that they have something hardware wise that the others don't.

Sorry for the rant...so, can anyone reccomend a good Rival casino?

Any Rival.

But thisisvegas has the most accessable contact here.

Excellent post julester!

You're absolutely spot on with everything you said.
It amazes me that so many casinos don't seem to understand that paying players quickly makes them happy. Happy players come back & play again. If casinos mess players around, the players are unhappy and guess what - they go somewhere else!
To me it's not rocket science, it's just logical common sense.

As to the best Rival, well I think I already posted that they are all good IMO.
I haven't played ALL of them, but the two where I got to make a cashout were Sloto'Cash & Simon Says - and both paid me (via Neteller) within 24hrs after the 24hr pending period. i.e. under 48hrs total from cash-out request.

I think most rival casinos do a good job of paying on time, every once in a while a problem happens but we do our best to make sure players get paid in a timely manner. I am glad to say that in nearly 2 years of being live I don't see any forum posts about players not getting paid from a Rival casino. I do know that if players request to have their withdrawal flushed that the service team does this for many players.

I can do my best to explain our payment policy and I know for many other gaming companies we share similar policies in terms of payout times. I was a player first so I do understand what it is like to be a player and wanting to get paid on time. Most gaming companies pay fees to payment processors and if you get one player who keeps withdrawing, and depositing assuming instant payment this can add up very quickly. Not all players are the same so you have some that don't use the reverse withdrawal and others who do it all the time. Another aspect is fraud and sometimes the time for payment processing allows for accounting departments to make sure things add up. This is especially important for new players. I have seen other companies do instant payments and I think if it was worth the risks for the rewards in doing so then most companies would be switching to that policy. I thought in the day, Phoenician casino offered instant payments but they don't anymore. It would be nice to hear the reason for not doing so but I think I already know that answer but maybe it could have been due to switching software providers.

I know for thisisvegas if a player requests their withdrawal to be flushed the service team will do that for you but I think they do that for all Rival casinos.

I realize by answering these questions I am opening myself up to ridicule but I am just trying to be honest about how things are done and why. I hope that helps.

I don't think you have to worry about ridicule, John; there are enough voices of reason here to keep things in balance. As long as Rival casinos continue to operate the way they have all should be well. And thank you for your presence here (but I do miss robrival's input on some of the tech issues)

[thisisvegas]

I am not sure about RobRival's presence here but I thought he still posted and helped, I'll ask. If not I know they are really busy these days adding new features but you'll see more of them this year. Regarding the ridicule I know I am putting myself a little at risk of getting some heated comments towards me but I will say them anyways. If I get them that is fine but I just thought some people would appreciate some answers on these things. I have seen other affiliate mangers get eaten up in the past but I can take a few hits here and there, otherwise I am happy to help.

have seen other affiliate mangers get eaten up in the past...

I have only seen that happen here when the casino the rep worked for was a rogue or had serious player or affiliate issues and/or the rep made obviously bogus statements.

I don't think you have too much to worry about John.

I guess everyone has certain casinos and or software we can't do squat at. I do fairly well at all rival casinos. I have absolutely NO luck at 3 Dice, every time I see screenshots of 3 Dice I cringe because I suck there.

I feel your pain! Those screenshots of mine didn't start to come for a long time after I started playing there. I did nothing but lose lose lose in the beginning.. but then things suddenly took off for me one day after a $642.00 hit on Happy Valley on a .75 cent bet.

I made the mistake at first that I think alot of people make at 3Dice.. betting too high! My first deposit was for $50.00.. got the $50.00 bonus with it and went to Supersuits betting $1.00/spin. Went through the $100.00 in about 10 minutes without a bonus round and said fuck this place. Enzo came on chat and didn't know me at the time, and I told him the slots suck. He felt really bad because I was new and had such a bad experience that he gave me another $50.00 to try. I blew through that quicker than shit too without a bonus. He must've been watching me because he came right back on chat after I lost again and threw another $50.00 at me and told me to tame my bets so that I'd have a better chance at bonus rounds.

Well.. I got a bonus round.. but it wasn't anything great, and soon went broke again. I must say that Enzo really made an impression on me that day. He seemed really different from the rest. Since then, I've stayed with them and have had many cash-outs... and many losses. But it used to be only losses and no cash-ins at the places I used to play.

The only other time I had a great day was at 32Red when I won 13K in one day on the slots.. and I'm not a high-roller. What a day that was!
