Has anyone noticed that this casino doesn't pay at all lately? I'm a heavy player (and I'm talking heavy) and since January they haven't paid ANYTHING and I mean NOTHING.

Has anyone experienced this or is it just me?

I know gambling has it streaks but this is ridiculous. Anyone recommend another casino where U.S. players can play? I like Microgaming but I really think something is going on here.

All of the Microgaming casinos that I have played at for the past three months have kicked my a$$ so much it is still sore...

I have a sore ass from Canbet, but the rest have not been as bad as LAST year (so far).

If the games are not paying so much, we are going to want bigger bonuses to make it seem worth carrying on. So far, I see many MG casinos offering SMALLER bonuses than before (with a small number of exceptions).

Jackpot Factory offer among the lowest PERCENTAGE of them all, with only a steady 10% most of the times. The USED to offer more, but not much. Their promotions, although still as imaginative as ever, offer LESS generous prizes than before.

Two years ago, their weekly scoreboard promotions routinely had top prizes of 1000 to 2500 credits for the winner. This is now 500 to 1000.

MG tournaments seem to have played a part in this, with at least some of this prize money being given away there, usually through free to enter tournaments. I am convinced though that the addition of the rebuy as well as continues ensures even these "free" tournaments make one hell of a profit.

Well, I still get the weekly standard bonus of 35% from Villento and 30% I believe from Rich Reels but other than those two there is not much else available for me anyway. The last few good wins I had at a Microgaming Casino was at Royal Vegas last Aug. and Sep., and basically nothing to really speak of since then.

Not too bad, but not something I was offered.

Roxy and Splendido had 30% bonuses, but I went and got myself bonus banned from both didn't I

(Still 10K ahead from the pair isn't bad considering.....)

Call me bitter, but how about close to 70K since March 1st, 2009 without one withdrawal....and I'm saying not even any PLAY! Just eat...eat...eat... the money like Pac Man.

Is that good odds from Microgaming? They'll be happy to show you their stats as a whole for Microgaming, but what a joke. Perhaps it is just this casino? Or perhaps I'm and idiot or Linus from Charlie Brown and a dark cloud follows me wherever I go for the last 3 months every day of the week...or perhaps this casino thinks I'm not going to say that I think their payouts stink to the rest of the world.

Sure, when you complain they will throw you a bonus bone, but there is no way you can play that much and not win anything of any signficance in any particular session. Please!

Took me playing all 2008 to finally win in December 2008 and then I couldn't get paid until I complained on here-finally got paid-of course they took it all back because they haven't paid a dime since March - not one red cent.

Maybe they'll pay someone else-they sure don't pay people that actually play a lot of money there

Same boat but not a big player as you. I have one MG casino left on my computer that actually still pays out (I am waiting for a $500 withdrawal on a $40 deposit today) from this casino. Seems it is the ONLY one paying out every few deposits (like 3-4). I can live with that unlike the other money suckers.

Hope you find your new home too and better luck!

Have you tried English Harbor? I seem to be doing very good there too unlike the RTG"s and MG's. I guess a break helps from them too..

Rob, you tried Casino Share? They give me either 77%-90% match on the weekend. I think Grand Mondial do the same but I'm not sure.

BTW anyone getting a slow running PC after playing at 3Dice?

Edit: Yes 3Dice causing the problems.

That's VERY poor indeed

(I am using polite language).

I would certainly have expected some "ups" as well as "downs" with that volume of deposits.

There seems to be a tendency for casinos to stop giving bonuses to players WHO LOSE REGULARLY, which is just so VERY odd indeed, as these are certainly NOT "advantage players", otherwise they would have been making some nice wins along the way, and remembering where the cashout button was too

I wonder if the industry knows what it is doing, cutting back harshly on its mainstay, bonuses, but so far offering NOTHING by way of a replacement incentive.
There are STILL decent bonuses offered for NEW players, but almost NOTHING for loyalty in some cases, which will encourage players to go from one casino to the other for the new player bonuses, and then just quit when they run out of new casinos.

I would expect players to drain to casinos STILL offering bonuses, even relatively modest ones. If most casinos stop giving bonuses altogether, then the land casinos can compete against them in a powerful way, by offering more in the way of "comps" to get players back into the habit of leaving their houses to play, just as we ALL did before the internet age.
