Starting to see thread after thread about negative response to casinos

I for one have posted about a group of casinos i wont play at any longer. But it seems to stem a lot deeper then that. I log into casinomeister few times a day and always hit new posts. It seems most of these new posts are complaints about this casino or that casino. Is it the fact that if we are happy with a casino we just dont post it or is this a spot where we can let off steam. Or also wondering if this is whats to come in the next few months, casinos taking advantage of players with void bonus offers taking weeks to pay or accusing some of bonus abuse and so on. Can and do the casinos tighten up the slots so they are harder to hit or is that just something we all came up with when we cant hit anything. I know one time at a live casino I had my 30 year old daugher with me and employee hitting on her said dont play that one they had us tune it so less hits. Can they do this with online ones also and thats why we have so many complaints about not hitting anything. Have the casinos spent more money adding new games and their funds are low as this is why they take so long to pay us. I dunno just a thought anyone else have feedback or a response to any of this.

I've been running this board for ten years now, and I can state that people like to complain more than they like to dish out good comments. That's human nature - and it's true in all aspects of life.

On the other hand, there are some members who don't post in the complaints section. They either don't want to get involved, or they have nothing to complain about. Some members loiter there and never leave

There are a number of good threads that are non-complaining in nature - about slot stats, game ideas, kudos, religion and gambling - but it's the melt-downs and conspiracies and non-payment stories that are more interesting for most people.

Nothing changes. The crooks are still crooks and what you see here is the tip of a dirty grubby iceberg.

And consider this. This watchdog site CasinoMeister has been going for more than 10 years. You'd think the industry would have evolved into something a little more credible by now. But 10 years ago players were complaining about not getting paid (and rigged games) and here we are in the next century with the same complaints all over again.

I see one major positive in that players get paid much faster at certain establishments these days such as bet365, Ladbrokes, InterCasino and 32 RED. Quality venues that can be distinguished from the vast gallery of otherwise online pirates.

But Slots? Come on, how can they be rigged? Even if they paid back 75 cents in the dollar there would still be shills here posting up winning screen shots for the ploppies to devour.

Everyone loves the Slot junkie. Casinos, affiliates and bonus hunters. The Slot junkie pays them all.

Thanks you 2 can always count on you both to turn my feelings around.
Im going to try 32red think reason i hadnt was deposit reasons so ill check into it and let you know. And yes this group of folks do run one great site with lots of help and other issues you can turn to for advice. Also wanted to point out that yes i have posted some negative casino threads but at the same time i have posted when the casino has gone beyond what a casino can do to help you or reward you also maybe we could get a few others to post some good comments to point out the better part of gambling life. Yes it does seem like few of us live in here but im sure just like myself you open up casinomeister in seperate window off you go to work and all and its still open when you get back. In the long run saves me time logging back in. LOL

I frequently have good experiences with casinos but am afraid to post about it on CM because some members interpret this as trying to promote the site. What is the proper way to give kudos to a casino without the wrong appearance?

Bryand,

Dont worry about posting your good experiences with casinos. Most of us here will be able to distinguish the real ones from the 'shills'.

I have the same issue. I have good experiences with most of the casino I play at, but like just about everyone else I usually only post on the very rare occasion that I have a problem.
When I do have a really good experience to report (like my extreme luck with the Ladbrokes scratchcards in April), some people accuse me of lying, or trying to 'shill' for the casino just because I happen to be an affiliate as well as a player.

Maybe its dif for some of us im not a affiliate so good threads are looked at differently. I like the good threads also shows me that a casino responded in time or acted responsibly for a change and thats great to see. I joined 32red today and made my reg deposit and did a withdraw also so wasnt a bad day for me. GOOD LUCK everyone see you all tonight

FWIW, here's my view of why we see more complaints than praise....

Let's put it this way... for me, it's sort of like going to McDonald's for a burger, fries and a Coke. If the burger and fries are edible, the coke not watery, and all are handed to me in a reasonable amount of time, I am content. I didn't expect gourmet, so passable will do. I don't go on bulletin boards and call up friends telling them the food at Mickey D's wasn't horrible today. Why? Because that is what they are supposed to do! Dish out cheap, edible food in fast order. That is why I go there.

If however, the burger is grisly, the fries stone cold, the coke watered down, and it took me half an hour to get it -- then I'm not content. If this happens more than once, I phone the store, leave a message for the shift supervisor who never returns my call -- THEN I write to McDonald's corporate office, and post on bulletin boards.

My advice to casinos... listen to your customers. I dare say most players will complain to CS first. THEN, after no satisfaction, they come here.

That about sums it up for me as well, Mousey - yet it seems that even with experience too many operators still haven't grasped this truth yet!
