Rome Casino - Analysis

[RomeCasino]

Hi Rusty,

It's not really an odd statement at all. I'm frankly quite surprised that anyone (especially VWM) is lending Pantsdown any credibility on this issue when his first post ever on CM was designed to slander our business. Since we have been in operation and taking in money and affiliates since August the first, there is no possibility whatsoever that he/she received a call prior to then. He/she clearly states that the call was received "a few months ago".

Currently, we promote using affiliates and media who have primarily US facing traffic. We appreciate business from all countries that are willing to play with us but we are currently only available in English and in USD. This will change in October when we launch in Europe with multiple currencies and languages however, this is the current reality: you can play with any payment method you wish but any currency including Euros and Pounds will be converted to USD first.

Kind Regards,

Patricia.

Yes, interjection number 2 from a first time poster in this Rome Casino thread. At least pantsdown had something to say, with Rome casino refuting the claim.

Rome casino are concerned that there is some kind of vendetta against them, and first time posters who make a complaint & then disappear only serves to strengthen this view.

Pantsdown has no record other than memory of a few months ago, so this allegation can only be dealt with by looking at the balance of probabilities. If Rome have not taken on staff from a source close to Titan poker, then it is highly improbable that an employee of Rome could have used such data in cold calling players. It may have come from a casino with a different, but similar name, or even an affiliate from Gold Vip casino (who seem very vreative when giving the name of their casino to prospective players)

Rome have also been in contact with me by PM, further refuting this allegation, and challenge any complainant to come up with some evidence to back their claims up.

Top Game software cannot be objectively judged due to it being so new, so it suffers partly from the dodgy reputations of other new softwares. For every new software that launches and turns rogue, there is another that launches and proves itself in time.

Example, Hype, launched, seemed OK, but eventually went bad.
Rival, launched, has come under fire, but has survived to create a loyal following that is able to ride out the bad publicity caused when things have gone wrong.

Maybe next year we will know whether Top Game is another Hype, or another Rival.

The Rome rep is probably falling into the trap of posting "under stress", and may well make a few slip-ups, such as saying they only take US when this is not the whole truth because they will not refuse to take a non-US player, but until October are not marketing beyond the US. This leaves them open to having their words picked apart to make them look bad. I am guilty of this myself sometimes, with my worries being fuelled by some oddities that have cropped up in this thread, and only time will tell whether this is just a product of my fertile imagination, or whether my "rogue radar" is working properly.

I am making no judgments on Rome Casino as I have not played there.
I believe they should be given a fair chance though.

My comments were in relation to what is displayed on their site and the information given here by the rep.

The site states;

The maximum bonus is $200. This free bonus is added automatically upon your first deposit, so no coupon code is necessary. The bonus is available identically in all currencies - USD, GBP & EURO.

and the Rep first stated that only US could play and then that was revised to other countries but all currency would be in US dollars so I am still unclear as to what the above quote might mean.

Hi Rusty,

Thank you for finding this in our terms as this is something we are enabling only once we launch the languages in October. We are currently testing the languages and only wish to release them with the multi-currency patch after exhaustive testing. We want to ensure that the conversions and reporting are functioning correctly first. I've instructed web development to fix this term and it should be updated in a couple of hours.

It was never our intent to mislead anyone into thinking we accepted currencies that were not yet available. Having said that, we're removing the following:

"The bonus is available identically in all currencies - USD, GBP & EURO"

I will make sure this line gets added again once we have the European currencies enabled in the cashier. Thanks again for spotting this. One last time, I'll clarify that anyone who isn't from Israel can play in our Casino. However, your native currency will be converted into USD and the maximum bonus allowed is reflected in USD only as it appears on our landing page at RomeCasino.com

Thanks for your understanding,

Patricia.

Who gives a rats anyway?
Quoting my first post in this thread (taken from the opening post):-

In the interest of fair gaming in order to cash out any amount of money you must wager at least eighty (80) times your play bonus...

The contributing percentages of games towards the wagering requirements are as follows:
100% on all slot games
Crap-all on anything else

That is a total joke! Anyone who thinks that is a good offer needs a brain scan.
No doubt this was influenced heavily by Josh, as Prime casino also had this ludicrous WR when they started. (Reduced to a sensible Bx30 now).

Good luck getting players Rome casino - you're going to need it!

You know as well as I do that Bx30 on slots is not +EV - no bonus hunters would ever go for that!

For those who don't know what I'm talking about (wouldn't be the first time );
Say bonus = $100 with Bx30 on slots with a 96% payback.
WR = $3000 x 96% = $2880 = you lose $120 = all the bonus + $20 of your own money.

You can't win (unless you use the Simmo or KK method! )

Bonus x 80:
You lose $320 = all the bonus + all your $100 + another $120 you haven't even deposited yet!
You can't win - unless you get incredibly lucky!
