Rome Casino - Analysis

[winbig]

That is so true. I did some research to come up with a list of the UK white-listed online casinos....out of all the casinos, absolutely zero accepted registration from Americans.

Hi Pinsnipes,

I actually understand your apprehension for casinos based on Costa Rica. Unfortunately, for US facing operations, you're going to have a very hard time finding one that's UK white-listed. If you're looking for a Casino with a very good reputation that is not US-Facing, I would suggest Spin Palace. I used to be the Casino Director at PrimeCasino and I can tell you that Microgaming runs a very honest ship and Spin Palace are definitely some of the best guys around and personal friends of mine. Obviously I'd like to do everything in my power to earn your business and your trust but if you MUST have a Malta licensee, again my suggestion would be Spin Palace. We've actually shifted focus and are looking to get our UK Whitelisted license from Antigua as it's just been added to the list. If you have any questions I could answer that would ease your concerns, feel free to ask me here or in private.

Kind Regards,

JC.

Josh, so will that mean that I will no longer be able to play at your casino since I am in the US ?? And I just got signed up last week too...

This is because the current crop do NOT ALLOW their licensees to accept business from "places where online gambling is illegal". They view the USA as such a place.
If Antigua allow US players, then Rome casino could both accept US players AND be seen to have a UK Whitelisted license.

This is why I had one HELL of a surprise when Go Wild turned up, licensed in Malta, and ACCEPTING US PLAYERS - something HAD to be wrong right from the start - turns out to have been gross incompetence. Maybe Malta found out, or THEY found out they were acting outside the Malta rules, but it seems Go Wild are ditching the US. In Go Wild's case, it is a MALTA REQUIREMENT that they do not take US bets. Rome cannot license in Malta without first offloading it's ENTIRE US player base, but maybe it can transfer to Antigua and keep more people happy.

Accredited casinos can still be licensed in Costa Rica because they have proved themselves worthy of the status DESPITE having their servers located in Costa Rica.

Bryan once had something about this on the site (probably still there), as a caveat to his general rule to avoid ALL casinos "based in Costa Rica".

WinBig,

Actually, since Antigua just recently joined the UK White-list, that means that Millionaire Casino and all other Vegas Tech brands with the exception of GoldenCasino and one other I can't remember, are now UK Whitelisted and definitely take American players. Millionaires is also not a small operation either and is part of the English Harbour group which has been around for a very long time.

Rob,

We have absolutely no intention of leaving the US market based on the current laws and even the laws currently on the table for implementation. It is a huge percentage of our business and unless forced to, we aren't going anywhere. I believe that if Americans want to gamble online, it's their right to do so and nobody should be able to tell anyone where they can or can't spend their money. There is simply no ethical argument so long as places like Las Vegas and Atlantic City exist on US soil. Just because something is written into law does not necessarily make it right, correct, or ethical. The UK is light years ahead of the US in that respect. I don't mean to open a can of worms here but that is the opinion of our entire organization.

Hi all,

I recently started playing at Rome Casino. I have made sveral c.c. deposits wich processed with no problems. The customer service was very prompt over phone,e-mail, and live chat.

However, I just requested a withdrawal last weekend and was told it was "delayed" because I was selected for a "random verification" by the fraud department. I had read about the possibility of this in their terms but thought it was a big coincidence to be chosen "randomly" on my first withdrawal request.

Anyway, all my docs have been sent and all of my info is good. I just hope Rome is not one of those casinos that looks for any way possible not to payout it's patrons (like calling you when your not home and then saying that your phone number is incorrect because you didn't answer).

I was told that the fraud department check should take 4 or 5 days and I am happy to give them the benefit of the doubt. I will keep you guys posted as I see that there is not alot of player info about Rome besides pokeraddict's trip which looks like he broke even. I did a lot better than break-even, so I will let you know if they treat me the same.

Please let me know if you are interersted or if I am in the wrong thread (I am new to this forum) although I have been a fan of CM for years.

Talk to you later,

With a rep active on the forum, no complaints to speak of so far, and a 12x wr bonus I thought it was a go. At least for a test run until some of the other questions about the operation are cleared up.

But I can't seem to log in. Maybe it will work later.
