    Rival closing to Canadian players

    I may as well spill the beans, Rival is shutting down to Canadian players, I have known this for a couple weeks but decided to keep it quiet until a formal posting, I just read an email from Mayan Fortune so it is now fair game. It looks like we have a month or two to finish up.

    Just a little late....

    Operators: If you don't know what Transparency means, then here you go.....now how about practicing it?

    Transparency, as used in the humanities and in a social context more generally, implies openness, communication, and accountability. It is a metaphorical extension of the meaning a "transparent" object is one that can be seen through. ...

    I received my emails today from sloto and a few other rivals of their closure.
    Sloto was the only rival i enjoyed playing at and was the only rival i had a cashout from. After playboy leaving us and hearing now mg are banning american players i wonder if we are next.
    Interesting enough a few months back this nice little gift came in the mail from a mg casino. Learning that the mailing address for the parcel was just around the corner i had a look as i drove that way later that week. This mg casino had 3 floors in this office building, they are no longer there now so im wondering if canadian players will be next unable to play. That just leaves us with rtg and intercasino and playtech. Playtech i have never had a cashout i just find their auto bonus terms impossible to meet before you bust.

    Lauram,

    No offence, but it seems that you are playing at the wrong Playtech casinos. I wouldnt play at those who gave me an auto bonus and even if they did, the accredited ones would galdly remove them on request. If you dont already have accounts at them, try Betfred and Bet365. They are very good imo.

    Thanks chuchu interesting enough i have tried most of the other playtechs. I wont mention them as it only seems to give them extra credit when their names appear in a post. I will try those 2 this week i do believe long ago i tried betfred but i will look into that and try them again. I just got tired of depositing and before i knew it i had a bonus added i never wanted at least at rival you had a choice to take one out or not. Now with the 2 you mentioned do they have those pop up boxes appear as your playing asking for more deposit money. That was the other factor that drove me away from this group.

    Lauram,

    I havent played Playtech for more than a year now since the Playtech platform does not accept Hong Kong players. However, when I was playing there, the 2 playtechs I mentioned didnt ask for more depositing money in Real Play. In Fun play, I understand many playtechs set up those annoying boxes and tell you its your lucky day and ask you for your deposits.

    The other good thing about the 2 playtechs I mentioned is that they have quite responsive reps in this forum and if anything goes wrong, they are readily available for assistance.

    Hi there,

    After you create your account and once logged in to the casino lobby, over on the right hand side you will see a large yellow "@". Click this and you will go directly to our support team (24 hours a day) and simply request that they mark your account 'no bonuses'.

    Failing that, drop me your username (private message please!) and I will see to it personally.

    Hope to see you at the tables soon!

    Kind Regards, Ian.
