US based player looking for suggestions

[Diane]

Other posters have provided sage advice.

My experience with online casinos is only 15 months worth but here are my suggestions:

1. Establish a separate bank account that you will use only for online gaming.
2. Club World Group Casinos
3. English Harbour Group Casinos
4. 3Dice
5. Villento and Rich Reels
6. Sloto'Cash
7. Request an invitation from one of the casinos to open a Quick Tender/UsemyWallet account for online gaming transactions
8. Keep a file for each casino that you go to and request copies of all "chat" sessions for your records to validate all info exchanged
9. At the time you open your account find out what will be required in order to cash out and have the required documents scanned and ready to submit once you win (or before)
10. Ask a lot of questions at each of the sites to ensure you understand their specific terms and conditions. Do NOT assume all sites are the same in regards to cashouts, bonuses, and other requirements.
11. Keep withdrawals to smaller increments such as $5,000 max to avoid over-scrutiny by your bank -- I found that my credit union is much more lenient than my bank. Bank would always call and question gaming transactions, freeze debit card etc. ----- credit union never has questioned a transaction, not once.
12. Never, ever cancel a pending withdrawal. Just go to another site and play while waiting for a transaction to clear and hit your bank account
13. Ask questions here of forum members when in doubt - its a very caring and sharing group of people.
14. Use a specific email address for just gaming or better yet have a few grouped for use so that you can track if site is selling your info/email address.


If you have more specific questions or what clarifications on above suggestions, please feel free to PM me.

Good luck,

Diane

The casino I suggest, is a figurative casino, a place where one gambles with the heart, rather than the wallet... It goes by many names, it is called a significant other, a drinking problem, and a video game obsession, even soft drugs are often healthier... they all are less soul destroying than gambling. If I could do it all over again... Well, I wouldnt change a damn thing, but for god sakes, run before u hit too many RTG bonus rounds and you never can get that incessant ringing out of ur ear... Or the 1000x bet out of ur dreams...

Either that, or try Jackpot Capital or the Club World Brand casinos for rtg...
3 dice is nice for some variation...
Mix in a lil land based action...
And make sure that u get a gf/bf that hates gambling, that should keep ur 'entertainment' to a healthy minimum...

Can anyone suggest a casino for a US based player. Recently I have played at Cool Cat and had to wait over 2 months for a payoff and most recently Rushmore (another post) where I'm still awaiting now over 1 month and it seems it will drag on at least another 2 weeks.

I'm not a big player but if I deposit 50 and bring my total to 100, I would like the option of doing it. It's just that the waiting game that bothers me.

Also right now I'm being paid by either wire transfers (rushmore) or check (coolcat) but am willing to explore any other options.

Thanks for everyone's input, it is appreciated

Try Cherry Red Casino. It is a good and great casino too.

As has been said, i'd recommend 3Dice. Not withdrawn anything from them but seems like a decent operation.
Just a shame they don't have an affiliate scheme, got a few decent US based punters under my wing who would love it there!

They do have an affiliate scheme.
(Not that I would recommend it mind you, it's CPA only with hard to meet criteria )

Good advise for our American cousins but pathetic that grown adults of sane mind need to go through all this just to enjoy what most of the world sees as an acceptable pass time. When will the US govt wake up and stop treating it citezens as fools! So glad I live in the land of the free here in blighty

As others have suggested, visit the Accredited Casinos list. But even then, realize that the online gambling world will always be a scary place until regulation gets implemented. Once-reputable casinos have been known to suddenly go down the toilet (a la Betfair).

My #1 choice is 3Dice, which runs on a proprietary software you won't find anywhere else. They by far have the best customer service and you don't have to go through the verification hassles. 3Dice also has daily freeroll tournaments, and hourly VIP freeroll tournaments that you can be a part of just by depositing $50 in a month. They only accept QuickTender, but do allow you to withdraw with any of their methods regardless of how you deposited. Payout in 24 hours or less.

My #2 is iNetBet. Aside from the lack of live chat, they have the best bonuses available IMO (they're all cashable) and they're offered regularly. iNetBet also has the fastest payout time I've ever experienced, sometimes within 12 hours of requesting the withdrawal. They run on RTG, which is the same software as Cool Cat, but are definitely oodles better than those scumbags.

I had a fantastic experience at Jackpot Capital as well. They took less than 4 hours to verify my account with the documentation to withdraw. While their match bonuses leave much to be desired, Jackpot Capital is the best in my experience with the no deposit bonuses. I haven't even deposited there recently and they still sent me a Christmas card and a Valentine's card wishing me well and giving me a no deposit code.


Everyone has different experiences and likes, though. Just peruse the Accredited List and find out what tickles your fancy.

Do you consider WR at 60 times bonus amount as good I think its the worse on the net. Not only that , you can only cash out 5 times . I LIKEk Jackpot Capital BUT AM thinking of quitting because of their insane WR

??? But then just play without the bonus. I am becoming more anti-bonus because invariably I hit a big win early in the WR and then blow most of it trying to hit the required amount for withdrawal.

I have hit big with a bonus -- but its getting tougher. So I am forgoing it much more often these days.

I think its not right that using a email account to sign up to some legit casinos lead to the virtual group and its spamming affiliates to spam my new email address. Also its despicable that the virtual group allows and tolerates mass spamming affiliates.

But on a side note, I did play at one of their casinos in the past with their stupid daily bonuses that suckers newbie online casino players into putting their account in jeopardy of any future witthdraws by labeling you as a bonus abuser. However when I did play and won from a nondeposit freebie chip, I actually got paid after 3 months with a lot of emails sent to get it. I had to submit a complaint through that CDS link on the bottom of its website and all of the virtualgroup's website too. Im not even sure if CDS is even a RTG supported website or company, their whois does not have any references to RTG. Now im afraid of my privacy details I submitted like my scanned ID, utility bill, and personal information. It gets kind of scary to know that a rogue group has this info and who knows who has access to it, i.e employees, and what they can use the information for. Thankfully I learned about this site after my problem with them, and play at the approved legit sites.

I like them too, they have quick payouts, quicker then clubworld and on par with inetbet. But your right the 60x WR for those freebies are nuts. I got up to diamond level in vip, played the $200 freebie that you get as diamond, and the WR was $12,000 hahaha. I dont have time to play normally to reach that type of WR so I made some big bets to knock off some WR a little quicker, but that lead to a zero balance fast. I only play some their deposit bonuses, but the WR is 30x instead of the normal 20x at clubworld and inetbet.
