Favorite Online Casinos - and why

[bryand]

As was suggested in another thread, why not give kudos to pleasant gaming experiences? As an average online player, without affiliation with any casino, gaming association or other forum, here are my favorites:

RTG: ClubWorld and InetBet - because they are fair (provided you closely read T&C regarding match bonuses ) and have quick payouts.

Rival: SlotoCash is by far the best with TIV running second.

MG: CasinoUS - great CS, good loyalty bonuses and quick payout.

Not a affiliate either here is my group
3dice
rtg clubworld and yes scifi they have treated me well
mg jackpotcity alljackpots and just joined 32red and im amazed at this new casino live support went above and beyond to help payout was instant
rival sloto only never had any luck or response from the others in customer service.
Playboy so real hard to hit but i like the tourneys and rep is great

same as above...

32 red are a firm favourite and i do like paddy power and virgin. sort of flit between all three

Well I am an affiliate, but it's not like I ever post crap like "I won at XYZ casino, if you sign up via my link maybe you will be a winner too!"
All my forum posts are unbiased and are just based on my experience at a long-term player.

So, to answer the question.
For frequent repeat bonuses with sensible WR and quick cash-outs (in no particular order):-
32Red, Ladbrokes, Palace Group, Sloto'Cash, Simon Says, Fantasy, Intercasino.

While we're on the subject, I want to give kudos to Lasseters;
When you join there they contact you & invite you to submit your ID & age verification details right from the off. (This is optional, but I did it anyway).
Last month I took a 100% bonus, got lucky & cashed out $600.
This was my first ever cash-out from them, but it was in my Neteller account in under 3.5 hours!

Sweet kk but i give up on lasseters. I was up at one point 300 and wanted to cash out only option for me was a chq i hadnt made enough to be able to use that method. Didnt use a bonus or anything and only way to upgrade your account is chq only then you can use method of deposit. Im done with them just for this factor alone as they told me chq would take weeks to arrive if i got my account up high enough to even cash out.

I'm pretty sure they've changed this policy. I think they used to have the same rules as Ausvegas - when I cashed out there in Dec-05 my first withdrawal had to be by cheque. (But they did convert & pay it in £UK which saved me the transaction fees I would have had to pay if they'd sent it in $US)
But now Lasseters do allow first withdrawal by Neteller - if you provide all the right info first. At least, for the UK they do.

This was just about 3 weeks ago. So now since jan ive done at least 10 or more deposits in lasseters and ausie and never can reach that point of cash out their limits are to high for me and its only way you can move on up is to go by chq form on aussie though back in march i also tried to withdraw a 100 they wanted 35 from it to issue my chq.

if the first withdrawal must be by cheque, and there is a minimum amount required in order to withdraw by cheque, that is most clearly rogue, not accredited.

i can't believe such is truly the case. you probably got a retarded CSR. i would ask again, someone different, what the truth is.

or although you would have to eat the associated fees, just deposit some more money, enough to make your balance surpass this minimum, then immediately withdraw.

[lauram]

That was even when you click for a withdraw it gives you your options and that is the only option on your first withdraw your next as i said you can use your method of deposit. In email it explained this was another way of them proving who i am i told them i understand this but their limits are way to high and the fee they charge for doing this is high also if they dont offer any other means on your first withdraw.

Well I think calling that 'rogue' is a bit harsh, and the CS was correct, not a 'retard'.
The details are in the T&C's though I have to agree they should ideally be more prominently displayed, i.e. on the banking page, and not 'tucked away' in the general T&C's:-

1.7 If registering to play for cash, your account will be categorized as 'Online'. As an Online registered player, you will not be able to withdraw from your player account until you have provided an appropriate form of identification as proof of age and verification of place of residence.

1.8 Lasseters considers a copy of a valid driver's licence, birth certificate, passport or age identification card as appropriate proof of age.

1.9 Adequate proof of residential address will be recognized as a copy of valid driver's licence, utility bill, rent receipt or bank statement.

And further down:-

5.3 A Player's registration level may be upgraded to Bronze when their address has been confirmed. To confirm his or her address, a player can:

1. Contact Customer Care and request that a PIN code letter be sent to his or her postal address, or
2. Request a withdrawal by cheque, and then verify his or her cheque number with Customer Care.

Players at these levels can also withdraw funds from their account via NETELLER, Moneybookers, Click2Pay, Instadebit and Cheque. A 'Bronze' Player has a default deposit limit of $5,000. Upon request and subject to approval, you may apply for an increase in this limit.

I used option 1; In my case I requested the PIN which was sent by post (took about a week I think), I then just e-mailed that back to support, I was immediately upgraded to Bronze and was able to make my first ever cash-out to Neteller, as per my previous post.
