Online Casinos

[jigga]

jetset - judging from your statement, i am getting the feeling that i am one of the few suckers that falls for good marketing. What are the casinos that most of you are hitting these days. I mean, until now I have been playing at most of the more familiar ones based on either their name recognition (good marketting) or based on their being established for so lond (like pre-21st Century). But I barely see the originals up on this site. Why is that?

I think that all the players from Atlantic Interbet that got stiffed when they closed shop and left everyone high & dry might argue with you on that one jigga! They went downhill from 3 weeks for a $50 check w/d to a couple of months or more for the same before they closed.

No reason an established casino should be taking that long to process 2 or 3 digit payments. Even 4 digits shouldn't take that long. Intercasino can pay me in under 24 hours, Sunny Group in 24-48 hours, Various MG casinos in 4-5 days. The most likely reason a well established casino can't process a cashin in less than 3 - 4 weeks is probably a cashflow problem. Waiting for deposits from other players to cover your winnings. A losing proposition in the not so long run.

I'm with jpm on this one - slow payouts have time and again proved to be the precursor of a casino going down the tubes. That, allied to over-generous bonusing where the operator tries to attract enough deposits in to pay his outstanding winners in a no-win "rob Peter to pay Paul" cycle that leads to bonus disputes and disaster.

I haven't seen any recent surveys on the topic, but in the past several player surveys indicated that timeous payouts ranked high on the players' list of priorities. If that still holds true there are a number of sites that are taking a chance with these slow pays. But perhaps they think that good bonuses will offset that?

I think the biggest problem that Black Widow has is in their foundation. By that I mean to say that Black Widow's start came about as being a Real Time Gaming affiliate and try as they might I don't think they'll ever be able to shake that stigma.

I think it would be very interesting to see the back ground information and/or application that a person needs to provide to RTG when making application to become a RTG licensee. I would imagine that it would be all of two lines long.

Line 1) List all liquid assets.

Line 2) Provide detailed information on how fast those assets can be transferred to RTG.

To me, the most exciting game is Treasure Nile. I,m always on the edge of my seat on every spin. This game will either make you or break you...it,s either nasty or nice. I,ve hit the 5 Pharohs at least 7 times for $3,000 dollars each time. One day I hit it twice. I,ve got a love-hate thing going on with this game because there have also been many times that it just depleted my bankroll before I even knew what hit me.How I wish that they would make a 10 and 25 cent version of this game. I,ve done most of my Microgaming playing at the Colosseum Casino. If you,re into Microgaming, you have to check this casino out. They have more slots than anybody out there in Microgaming, and I always got paid without a problem. The thing is lately, I,m kind of tired of the same old Microgaming routine. It,s like clock-work.....you might win early in the session...and USUALLY it comes back with a vengence to take the winnings back from you. Almost like the randomness of the games has been overtaken by greedy Micro-Demon that is out to collect everything you have won earlier. Maybe it,s because I like to keep on playing....probably when I should cash-in, but if the games are random, as they are said to be, you would think that the dry spells would at some point turn around and throw some winners at you again. It would seem to me that if online casinos have so much less over-head than land-based casinos, that they would have a better payback percentage. If I had a decent land-based casino near me, I would surely spend my time and money there rather than online because these days the online casinos aren,t offering much...if any better paybacks. Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Remember,most of this internet casinos are not regulated. They can have any odds they want.
Try Lasseters, goverment regulated, you can win more like a land based casino. Recieve your check in 10 days or less. No big progressives but usually it is long play time.
Also, Kiwi has winnings.

I think any site that pays within a week is exceptionaal in terms of pay outs. But i don't think that's the standard.

BTW, jpm - how is InterCasino paying you that you are receiving your cashouts within 24 hours?

[jpm]

Neteller jigga! They are lightning fast when you use that one. I've actually had a cashin from them in my neteller account in under 12 hours once!

[corovicd]

Why aren't there any casinos where one can download and play games on his mobile phone ?

It wouldn't be as funky as on the web, but one can play anywhere (including workplace, so one is cashing in at least one way :uhoh: ).

Bryan,

Did you receive a copy of my winnings at Starluck Casino & GoingGambling? It should be two or three pages long. If you like, I can send you a report of winnings for 2002.

Bryan, I think that I have been around long enough to prove that accusations that I may be a "shill" are false. I have never been paid nor am I advertising for this particular site.

I just wanted people to know that this casino doesn't play games or makes you wait for weeks, months to get paid. This casino has an professinal suppot team, and if they can't solve a problem, you can contact or email the manager and he will call you in a reasonable amout of time.

I am not promoting any casinos but I know where I am treated fairly and can be sure that I will get paid.
