What would you suggest?

**happygirl999** · 20th January 2009, 08:29 PM

I am a bit lost as to which casino to try out. Its the wagering T&C which is why i put the other post about opting out of the bonus, to me this seemed the easiest way, just play my own cash and if i win, i can take it out easy lol

I am sure it doesnt work that way. For a real novice like me

what you you guys suggest?? Out of the good casinos you have on here where would do you guys play?? Should I opt out of the bonus or is it easy enough to meet the WR??

Sorry I am new to the online casino's bear with me plz

many thanks

I would start with some casinos that offer a free no deposit bonus to try the software. Most of the Rivals offer such bonuses. Of course there are WR attached, and maximum amounts for cashouts. Most will require you to make a small deposit in order to withdraw. Also, play the games in "fun mode". You will get a feel for how often they hit bonus rounds, etc, and one of the conditions of the of CM accreditation is that free play and real play pay the same.

Check out 3Dice also...there are lots of free tourneys and you can win real money (WR attached of course). There is always a CS in chat, and you will find the players very helpful too.

Great advice

I only hope HappyGirl doesn't get a bit confused, because of course none of the Rivals are CM accredited... yet!

However, IMHO all 15 are totally fair & very safe to play at. And as you say, nearly all of them offer no-deposit, no-risk bonuses - totalling over $180 in free cash if I recall correctly...

Good luck Happy!

Did I mention Rival KK? But several of them do have reps on this board, and all my Rival experiences have been good...this is not to say they have all been winning ones

One thing you will need to check out before playing any Rival if there is a withdrawal option available to you...they do not issue cheques or bankdrafts, and you must use an e-wallet to receive payment. You may be able to have your payments paid back to your credit card, I'm not sure about Northern Ireland Happygirl

thanks again happygirl

More good advice Jasmine!

All the casinos I have joined I had to register my country as United Kingdom - not Great Britain or my preferred choice of England (what, England isn't a country...???

), and since Northern Ireland is part of the UK they should have the exact same banking options as we do in England.

Happy, if you think you will be a long-term online player then I certainly would recommend an e-wallet; Neteller or MoneyBookers seem to be the best ones for the UK. Although there may be some fees involved (i.e. for withdrawing your money back from the e-wallet to your bank/CC) it is a much better way of keeping your eye on how much you are spending online as all your gambling transactions are in one place, away from your normal bank account.

I use Moneybookers. I couldn't verify my prepaid credit card to deposit to Moneybookers, because the deposit is made in GBP, but should not be a problem for happygirl. I just use it to make withdrawals from sites I deposited by credit card, or from funds in Moneybookers. The largest fee for withdrawing my money comes from my bank, $14 for an incoming wire.

I didn't want to suggest a particular wallet, because I'm not the UK, but from reading the forum it certainly seems you have some good options not available for me here.

thanks guys. I have opened a net teller account. so hopefully there should be no problems. Going to have a wee spin later will let you know how i get on lol
