They are fine in my opinion. The wagering for bonuses is 20x(D&B). I used to get monthly bonus offers from them but then it stopped.

Total shyte in my opinion. Evil blackjack, and hideously slow to boot.

I can think of a million casinos, and many providers, that I'd chose before this lot.

Huge puke.

Casinos using Bossmedia software tend to be a bit slow compared to some others. RTG is the quickest and I would put Bossmedia as a little bit slower than Cryptos. A slow connection can seem like murder although having endured the speed at DrHo888 at 1 hand a minute, i'm more tolerant.

imo, Bossmedia blackjack is fair but streaky at times. I've played them for three years and every month i do a few monthly bonuses at Bossmedia casinos. Can't say that my overall record has been too bad.

Personally I would play at the Cryptologic casinos first and once i had my fill then i would take a peek at casinos like casino.co.uk.

Ive been using william hill and littlewoods on the crypto front but the blackjack seems too harsh. I find it hard to beat at £5-£10 bet range and anything over that i get totally killed. Have had a real nightmare on whill where i chased a loss to £2000+ and got the worst run of cards i have ever had in my 15 years gambling!!! That put me of a whill hence looking for new UK casino thst doesnt use crypto software. Maybe it was just real bad luck but ive spent thousands of hours playing blackjack at land based casinos winning and losing and never seen anything so bad. Ive experianced a week on holiday in vegas where i couldnt win a single session but have never seen such bad cards as i had with whill.

Not saying it was anything other that extreme bad luck but it has put me off them for a while!!

Thanks again dealerbusts for all the advice, much appreciated

Boss Media comes WAAAY down my list. If you're looking for blackjack recommendations, mine would currently be:

1) Microgaming. I believe MG is currently running fair across the board, and the single deck game - run ONLY on the flash (no download) casinos - is the best. Slowish, around seven hands per minute (still faster than poxy rigged Boss), but I believe genuine. The viper games are faster and worse - still fair, but you'll lose your money quicker.

2) RTG. Some of the table games are similar to MG SD in terms of return. Lightening fast and fun. Find an RTG with a good comp programme (like iNetbet - but they did recently downgrade their comps quite radically, shame on them) and you're in business.

3) Crypto. VERY varied opinions about the blackjack, but my own experiences have been really very fair in general.

Seriously, I would not consider Boss Media even if it were the only software out there - I totally detset it. In my opinion it's rigged to the hilt. Others disagree.

And to DB: "streaky" meands "rigged". If it throws up patterns which are not compatible with random dealing, then those patterns ("streaks", God I hate that word) are the result of a RIGGED game. Don't patronize cheating software.

MG single deck is my favourite, too. You can also play it on download software. There are still casinos that run the old software or if you have the old version and not upgraded, you can still use it. Vegas Villa has single deck BJ under the name classic BJ (no autoplay), and it rocks. On the fastest setting with no sound, it is faster than RTG. I timed myself and I was able to play at a rate of over 1000 hands/hr for periods of 15-20 minutes. I would love to know if any other Viper casino offers this game.

Thanks caruso for advise, looked at inetbet but only plays in dollars, My credit card company do me for about 10percent whenever i deposit and cashout in dollars!!

I finally finished downloading the casino.co.uk software last nite (took over an hour!!) and tried £50. managed to come out £100 ahead after an hour on blackjack. (real high roller!!!)
One very strange thing happened though... 2 or 3 times i was playing 3 hands and only got cards dealt on 2 hands, and my money returned on the 3rd hand! never seen that before!!!
