Talkin' about Playtech casinos

**Temperance Fox** · 6th May 2011, 01:36 AM

I began to play on line about one year ago, as I used to go into land-based casinos. So I was quite doubtful and made my experiences reading forums and playing in fun mode.The first I tried was Europa and similar but it seemed to me there was "rigged", and, in the meantime, I saw people were not satisfied about this group. Me too, in fact I had one or two small wins , made with to much sweat....So I try other groups of the same platform and seen things get better. I mean it seemed more "honest".Now my focus are only slot games As you know there are common slots , the same for this type of softwear, and progressives. With my little experience I've noticed that, althought a casino has a bad reputation, pay out of progresssives is the same in "white label " casinos such as those in "black list". I think this is why , payout cannot be "maneuvered" being indipendent. Then I've noticed several time popups " XXXX won jp of xxxx".The initial letters doesn't ever match with those of the casino I was playing. For example, on sunday I was at Omni and appeared a pop with " EGRxxxxx won etc etc"

At the end I wonder if things go in this way, one can play also into "black list" casinos, if comes a good promotion when progressives are allowed, naturally , playing only progressives. Why am I writing about it? I forget....
Yeah, now I remember.Casinos with bad reputation often give interesting promotions.
Maybe in case of Jackpot they make some difficult but this isn't the matter I want to tell.
What do you think about?

There was a thread recently were a Playtech progressive was won at a less than reputable casino, and the rogue kept a great deal of the player's win, and AFAIK it was not returned to the jackpot pool.

There would be a really good reason not to play at questionable casinos.... it's hard enough to win, it shouldn't be hard to get paid.

FYI almost all of the progressives are network shared so when it is won with a different account prefix it just means a player at a different casino hit it.

You could try Betfred or Bet365 if you're looking for really good playtech operators.

I think it's a lesson for people that they should not be blinded by the alluring promotions and bonuses that an online casino offers. What they should look for is the background, software provider, and the license of the online casino site.

And well, casinomeister offers a list of reputable and rogue casinos to guide new players and everyone else wanting to try out some other online casino sites.

I knew that, probably , the meaning of my thread , could be misunderstood.

I know it, thanks. And that's why I wrote my opinions.The "different casino" coul be one of the "honest" or another of that "rogue". People who win big jackpot (600,000 for example) are not so many.But progressives give good win at all.If they "travel" in another way from the specific casino, maybe it's more usefull to play in those casino, offering good promotions, than others giving only the opening. I can understand this coul be "without profit" for CM owners , being not affiliates and without protection for the player
I only like to share my thought, but, maybe for language difficulties, I can't explain in a good way.Sorry

The key I have noticed with those less than reputable casinos offering "good" promotions is that they have a max cashout, so if you were lucky enough to win big you could only get a fraction anyway. IMO I only play at Bet365 with PlayTech and have had nothing but great service, good promos, good comp program, and some nice wins!

Of course I prefer Bet365.. but I think Betfred and Centrebet are ok too..

If you can live with the 4 days pending withdrawal period, then GGN casinos (Swiss, etc) are also good alternatives.
In my experience of 3,5 years with them, these casinos are very reliable when it comes to payment, bonus terms and conditions, customer service and business practice.
They seem a lot more straightforward and ethical than the Europe group.
In fact customer service is better imho than some accredited MG casino groups'.

You forgot Centrebet

About Bet365, I did send CS a question and their replied with a link. I don`t think that is cool. I have used them for the last month, because I wanted to play with higher bets than what Centrebet offer on high variance slot. But I don`t know, I like Centrebet better.
