To the best my knowledge:-
There are independents.
However I believe Rival do have some control over how the casinos operate and all the casinos run from the same server.
Most Rivals also use Pantasia for processing payments (at least, for Neteller) - this can be confusing if you're playing at several as all deposits & withdrawals just say 'Pantasia' without naming the casino.

So far...

I am extremely concerned that they have started 'selling out' to 888, rogue casino Connect2, and new operators offering bonuses with stupid WR's and Phantom bonuses...

I was hoping they would stay pure, but I'm worried they may be sliding down the slippery RTG slope...

There are quite a few casinos who have stricter, or even no bonuses for UK players - even for slots only bonuses.... Bizarre!


Back on topic:
I completely & utterly lost the plot and screwed up my SUB with Club Vegas
I took the full $100 deposit + $300 Phantom bonus.
Got off to a shaky start, but then had some good stuff & took bank to $640+ at one point. (That would be $240 profit). But instead of switching to low-rolling on low variance games I carried on with crazy bets on high-variance ones (mostly Jacques Pot - 2 lots of free-spins, no burger bonus) and blew 2/3 of my stack!

What a pillock!

I still have $230 left, but it will be a tall order to get that back to where I was before. I may have to try Scary Bitch (which I don't normally play) and pray for one of those mega-hits...

Oh well, it's only 55 quid...
