Casinomeister®: Advocate of Fair Play Since 1998
Casinomeister® started operations on a nice sunny afternoon in June 1998, in San Diego, California. Over the years since, the online casino industry has changed radically, and through it all, we have been a beacon of light for the player community.
Starting in 1998, we published the first player-oriented newsletters, the first online casino reviews, and the first online gaming information podcasts before “podcasts” was a coined word. We have the oldest, most active, and largest forum for online gamblers. We were the first website to assist players who needed help with casino issues. We even coined the phrase “Rogue Casino”. Casinomeister® has been awarding the Best and the Worst in the online casino industry since 2000. And most importantly, we were the first website to create a set of standards for legitimate, trustworthy, reputable casinos to abide by: the Accredited Casino certification. Casinomeister® is second to none — and we have an outstanding track record over the last 23 years to prove it.

Or perhaps you’d just like to hang out and make some new friends on the most active and comprehensive casino forum online. Share your casino experience.
We have the most accurate and fair way to rate casinos listed here at Casinomeister® . I wrote the first casino reviews back in the late 1990s, and it was during this time that Casinomeister became the first website that applied standards to the casinos the are listed here. Bear in mind, there was virtually no licensing for online casinos back then – many had Costa Rican business licenses that just about any Joe could get. It was us that convinced these folks that there were standards to abide by.
For the past two decades – plus – we have been rating casinos with a transparent rating system that gives you the player the information you need to make smart choices. Our Top Casinos are just that: the best casinos that you can join.
Bonuses are tricky, and you need to be careful with them. Most players are under the impression that bonuses are obligatory – they are not. And unfortunately, many casinos will convince you that this is the only way to play – it is not – bonuses can lock you into insane wagering requirements, limited games, and limited withdrawals. I personally never play with bonuses, but I am in the minority. Many players really dig bonuses, and I get it – so no judgements here. If you are looking for bonuses – this is the place to be. We have loads of them, so have a go – but please ALWAYS read and follow the terms and conditions.

AS Seen On
Protecting You
One of the Very First Casino Complaint Mediators
We have been dealing with player complaints longer than any other entity on the Internet. Our player arbitration service (PAB) was established in 2000 – but we already were dealing with complaints going back to July 1998. We accept player complaints for ANY online casino, and have negotiated resolutions that have topped EUR 7 million over the past 23 years. This free service is offered to all of our members. Max and I have been doing this longer than any other arbitrators (since 1998) and our experience with casino and player management is second to none. No one has the indepth knowledge and connections that we have. We are also one of the very few qualified sites that is certified by the EU and worldwide. We have the credentials and track record to prove it.
Rogue Casinos are Clearly Marked
Over the past 23 years, we have had our watchful eyes on the Rogue Casinos – in fact, it was Casinomeister (me) who coined the term “rogue casino”. We have blacklisted these unscrupulous entities for over 20 years, but even so we are always open for these casinos to mend their ways. Thus we have had loads of casinos who either by their inexperience or their bumblings have made amends and the proper corrections to be removed from our blacklists – thus improving the playing field and gaming environment for players. But those casinos that remain rogue are clearly marked as “Rogue”.
Casinomeister® Accredited Casino Status
While there may be some great casinos out there, but only those that are vetted by us and our members are given “accredited” status at Casinomeister® . We are the only website that gives its members a voice when it comes to this vetting process and you could be one of these voices. Accredited status cannot be bought – and if casinos do not meet our Accredited Standards, this status is removed. Casinomeister® was the first website that required casinos listed here to have certain standards. And surprisingly, most of our competitors have no standards – they refer their visitors to the highest bidder – not casinos with the highest standards. Before the licensing jurisdictions began posturing themselves as “protecting the player” (they don’t) we were already requiring our Accredited Casinos to have pages dedicated to safe gaming and responsible gambling.
The Dark Web Uncovered
Most rogue casinos operate multiple sites to take in the most victims. We call out these dark player networks and common terms & conditions that are most frequently used to rip off customers. Our time testing the limits means you can play with confidence.
Our player community is rife with up-to-date warnings from your fellow players. One of the main goals of Casinomeister is to provide you with enough information for you to make smart decisions. This is one of the reasons why I created the page Spot the Rogue years ago. We have eliminated a lot of grief with this pertinent information. A fool and his money is soon parted – don’t be a fool and do your due diligence.
Casinomeister® Testimonials
For over two decades, Casinomeister® has been providing players with not only with crucial information, jovial entertainment, and profound wisdom, but most importantly advocacy towards solving problems with casinos. Here is just a smattering of testimonials from our members:
“Excellent results had thru the PAB service of Casinomeister. They helped me a lot to cash out from a casino which was stalling for months. I can spend only nice words about them…” Orion
“I spent the better half of 6 months trying my hardest to get my withdrawal approved, to no avail. I contacted Casinomeister, and within 1 week since sending my first email, my withdrawal was approved and deposited into my bank account. I can’t express enough how thankful I am for casinomeister. Y’all are the bomb!” Josh C.
“My experience with Casinomeister has been beyond expectations. Not only did they resolve a player arbitration complaint that seemed pretty much hopeless but the site itself is so full of wonderful information and people and even a podcast..” Jessica W.
“The PAB service was very effective for me in getting a favourable result from a non-responsive casino after trying numerous emails. While the casino initially responded to Max it did then try to ignore/stall at one point . Casinomeister’s reputation among players and the potential to publicly advise the casino’s lack of response resulted in the casino taking subsequently quick action. Just remember to follow the PAB rules!!” Penelope W.
“Casinomeister’s PAB is the least stressful, short and to the point, arbitration to get started. And when they come back to you with news that there’s a solution it is very impressive. I am still grateful for what was done for me, and without many demands at all – just a few facts and keeping an eye on updates.” Ra2377ven
“Max was the best total support and guidance with the PAB process. Without this (PAB) I would say a lot of players would not get their winnings in a timely manner or if at all.” Tracywild12
“I am so grateful for how much you helped me. Max did a superb job. I completely lost hope when I had 100k Australian dollars confiscated from me, and my account was closed unfairly. When I found Casinomeister and was assigned Max to assist my case, that’s when a day or two later my account was open and my 100k returned to my balance. They eventually started paying me through a payment plan like a month or two later. Being an experienced online player, I knew the terms and conditions and I knew I did nothing wrong…” Michael Jay
“They are the best! My experience with Casinomeister has been beyond expectations. They are the best, and Max is very nice and helpful. Thank you again!” Steven D.
“I have been frequenting Casinomeister since 2004 and have worked in the industry since 2000 as well as being an avid player. IMO Casinomeister is the best resource pertaining to the world of online casinos bar none.” Dave S.
“We had to make use of the PAB service a few years back after my hubby had his very first progressive win of just under 34K from a Playtech casino. It was exciting, but quickly turned into a frustrating and stressful nightmare when he tried to withdraw the money. After repeated standard form replies or non-responses or excuses, we filed a PAB and Max was able to deal with someone higher-up at the casino and the jackpot win was paid in full. There’s no way that we would have gotten anywhere on our own, he got paid only due to the efforts of Max and Bryan.” Cindy H.
“Had very positive experience with my PAB. They resolved my case that the regulator could not resolve. Great and helpful people.” gambler88
“Max is a grumpy old f***** and the PAB system is run like a fascist boot camp! What’s with all the rules? I have a problem and you guys can solve it, so less agro from you would be appreciated.” SOW-my-ass
