    YIKES - I see a new Casinomeister award coming!

    ewww for the worst/most amateur casino website design.


    I don't want to put a link but it's kingspalacecasino (dot) com

    From the faq:
    How do I know I can trust you?

    We started building our reputation for trust in 1997. Over the years we have become the world's largest, longest-running and most popular International casino online. Our success and growth is directly attributed to the relationship between ourselves and you, our players. Because "reputation is everything" to us, we work hard every day to earn and maintain your trust.


    I thought at first this was maybe a poor attempted white label or some affiliate who's marketing the shady playtech casino of the same name, but looking under jackpots link, it's definitely not Playtech.

    I have to go wash my eyes with bleach now.

    EDIT: is this Grand Virtual?

    It's only got 21 games, so it must be the poor man's version of something!! A few typos and an overly grand self image, otherwise looks like a keeper!!

    Just for shits and giggles I clicked on the certification link. I got this.
    Not Found

    The requested URL /rng.htm was not found on this server.

    Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

    And in the faq, you can't contact them unless you download the casino.

    Contact Us!

    You can contact us from the casino software once it is installed on your computer.

    They seem to have taken inspiration from the old ZX Spectrum MAybe you insert a tape and wait an age for the games to load then they crash.

    heh heh....yep!

    Interesting they say in a couple of places that they use Grand Virtual software, and then they say that they accept players from the US. I thought GV casinos don't accept US players? I wonder if they really are running GV software or if they just stole all that content and didn't bother changing it. I'm not familiar enough with the Grand Virtual games to recognize any of the previews and they don't even have enough games. Maybe it's our old friends from Crackpot Heaven who've stolen a few graphics from GV...?

    Oddly enough I was just looking through the rogue list a few days and noticed that a LOT of casinos with the word 'palace' in the title are in the rogue pit, I think the only exception is Spin Palace. I find that almost spooky.

    I think you are 100% spot on.
    The little graphics shown are definitely Grand Virtual software (excellent IMHO!), and I think you're right that most, if not all, the content is "illegally borrowed" from other sites.

    Just checked: Definitely a Grand Virtual "White Label".
    ANYONE can have one of these casinos - I even have one myself!
    (Kasino King's Kasino - but I've never marketed it)
    All of these casinos are actually run by Grand Virtual / Everest themselves, and all the people marketing them get, is standard affiliate commission - they have ZERO control over ANY of the actual running of the casino. So actually I'd say they are very safe to play at, but that does not excuse places like the one above putting false info (lies, basically) on their website.

    Oh, and yes, definitely no USA players allowed.
