Gaining your trust

[JHV]

If an online casino I am considering is in the CM Accredited List, I then go to the forum and get member's opinions. Even though I weight member opinions higher then the list, inclusion to the list is prerequisite - so CM is crucial in my decision making. Snails taste like boogers in garlic butter. Only chewier. Obviously an acquired taste, huh Bryan?

Please don't mock me. I am not bright. But I don't understand what you're saying?

I think Berny's making reference to Bryans newsletter...trip to France...eating snails, etc....

I thought you said you were brilliant?

Hmm I said that? I have to come clean - I'm the guy on the right of that photo above. Definitely the genius of my family though. Maybe that's what I meant...my brother on the photo left - can't hold a candle to my smrts.

For me it's this site, I got my fingers burned before, which led me here in the first place.

Now I look at the accredited list, and try and gather some information from the forum on that particular casino.

I've been happy so far.

I clicked "Other" so now I's exsplains....

I will always check the CM Accredited Casinos (CMAC) list first. If the casino is mainly a sportsbook with a casino, then I will also check the Sports Book Review website. Thereafter, I google the casino's name and see what comes up.

The other factors in the poll's list also play a role in my decision to a lesser extent: I will check the player's opinion/experiences as relayed in the CM forums. Many times, a casino is not listed in the CMAC but many players posted about it, i.e. Treasure Mile casino. Past history would come next.

Licensing jurisdictions wouldn't matter to me, despite my experience with Cyberluck/Heroes fiasco. However, I would be leery of Eastern European or Russian-based casinos unless they have proven themselves trustworthy.

Yeah, Bryan's email about France and eating snails. I wouldn't mock you. Even if I knew you and thought you needed mocking.

Unless...you started something. Then, well, ask anybody. So, which one are you? The good looking one I'll bet!

Yeah, Google! Always! If there's junk in a casino's trunk it'll ususlly show up on the 1st page of results. Googled online casinos before I found CM.

Transparency and software are very important. Before I open an account I have to know who's the owner, what software it is using. As for the payout I listen to players opinion on forums.

For Asian bookies and casinos, many casinos use EntertAsia live dealer casino software, but I only 100% trust in 888zhenren, Victor Chandler Asia and Bodog Asia (that is bodog88.com). Other casinos just play "hide and seek" game about their backgrounds.

Peoples opinions are most important to me ( forum members, forum owners etc).

*giggle* You made me blush.

No, my brother gots the good looks. I gots the brains.
