I have a question about casino forums

**babs7262** · 29th April 2008, 04:32 PM

I dont know, I first want to say I am not being sarcastic when I ask this nor do I have a motive. I honestly didnt realize this until a little bit ago and wanted to ask why (except for affiliates or other website owners)

This is for gamblers only I guess: OMG, I cant figure out how to word this without getting someone mad lol. I know, Ill give an example and then ask ok?

I was reading posts and saw something about a WOL. I didnt know what it was and asked someone (dont even remember who now, honestly). That person said winneronline, go check it out. I swear my hand to God I dont remember who so if it was you, this has nothing to do with my ? lol.

I went to this WOL and realized it was the same kind of site as here. I thought it was maybe a bonus site or casino game reviews, you know something that Bryan doesnt necessarily accentuate in here. But there were posts just like in here, by gamblers asking ?'s etc..

Then I notice that many ppl in here are also in there as well as other sites besides WOL asking and posting the same things as in here. Is there a particular reason why someone would spend so much time on the same type of sites when you have everything you need in here?

I dont mean this as a knock down to WOL, honestly, that site looks nice too. I understand if you own a business that is gambling related, for example Bingo...he does the tours and needs to spread out to give word about his business, but what about ppl like me who just gamble? Is this normal? Am I naive and missing out on something by just staying here. I feel satisfied here and dont feel the need to have posts all over the place in diff sites like this.

Again, some ppl are gonna misinterpret (sp) this and take it the wrong way but its not meant that way. Maybe Im missing out, Hell, maybe bryan even belongs to these other sites . Im just trying to understand why? I know I could join these other sites and make posts about getting more review jobs but I just dont feel right about it. I know I could be wrong and missing out but I dont understand the double and triple posts by one person on diff sites

Can someone shed some light. Am I missing out or being Naive about being totally loyal to just one site? Maye thats why Im not gettting more jobs, but there is a price to pay for loyalty and maybe this is the price I choose to pay

Thanks! and please...I am not talking about anyone person or knocking others who do belong to other sites. Im just curious!

Great question Babs. I look forward to hearing from the oldtimers and moderators on this.

I have a possible answer.

If you are interested in a certain topic, why limit yourself to one site? If you limit yourself to one site you only get so many answers or so much information, but if you go to a few sites, much more information.

I only belong here because I get all I need from here, but I am a small gambler compaired to most.

Example.....When you shop, you don't limit yourself to just Sears right?

Sorry, babs, but what does it mean "WOL"? I was failed to find correct answer

I think Just Play sums it up pretty well here.

That, and the fact that there may be posters on other sites that are not members here, and a wider range of opinion is therefore possible.

Nothing wrong with belonging to other sites in my view, although one venue will probably be the main preference for a player.

Well said Just Play.
WOL was ok is still a goodone because GM is running it now.

And it was even better when Max was doing it and than he came here

and a great move on his part I think.
I use it because I have had many sign-ups from that place.and this is why I go to WOL still.
And it's like CM's place here I love it alot and in the past CM had a Promo area here too that I got some sign-ups here as well.And the people that did are still here as well.
Thanks Babs for thinking of me in your post

Love Ya
I also think CM's place is well run and it comes with some great people here.
Thanks
Tom

Fair question babs, and i've had the same thought before as well. I've gone over to the other sites, plenty of them, and not meaning any disrespect to the other sites, i personally feel everything i need is right here in a very user friendly format. The forum here is the most active and educational and there seems to be a lot less emphasis on "promoting" casinos. rather, there seems to be much more emphasis here on being a "watchdog / player advocate" than on any other site i have visited.

as far as i know, some of the other sites do offer incentives and "gimmicks" (outside of special bonuses for their members, like tempting tuesday at inet) with casinos that they have a relationship with (like special points, auctions for bonuses, etc) ...so that may be one reason to join another forum. also, it would make sense that affiliates / webmasters would want to widen their market and information base by being a part of many communities so i don't see a problem with that either. You can also argue that more viewpoints are available if you have more sources, but our base of knowledgeable members here is pretty vast.

And IMHO, i don't think other sites go through as much trouble to accredite casinos and provide a legitimate AND efficient course of action if there are problems. I think it all comes down to where people feel comfortable and some people feel more comfortable at one place, others like to roam.
