Have to be accredited here OR at least LOTS of positive feedback. maybe pending a BBF (Baptism by Fire, CM test to make sure all is good before awarding accreditation)
Has to have a fair SUB, don't mind a bit of wagering when shopping around for playtime but nothing above 40xB or pushing it a bit 25xD+B.
Must have more than a couple of slot providers, ideally Microgaming, Netent and WMS, Novomatic would be a nice addition also.
CS although lower down my 'must have' list need to have a decent level of knowledge and none of this 'One moment please..' Only to be kept hanging on nearer 20 minutes
Decent promotions are a must have, not expecting 100% or 75% reloads every deposit but show me something decent and I'll show you my gaming pot
Loyalty!! - Once I start risking my deposits, the odd 'Out of the blue' little freebie is nice, doesn't have to be 100 Mega Spins on a 243 WW game, just the odd £5er or £10er, goes a long way to player retention. Rare but feel appreciated when they do pop up whether winning or losing that particular month.
Smooth slots - Yeah pushing my luck on this one but a casino where I log in once at the start and I close the games because I'm ready to change game, not because its rife with error messages and disconnections.
Man this post is getting long.....
No control over this one but a 'fair roll of the dice' noticed over the years without naming and shaming that some casinos give great game time most deposits, some mediocre and some just eat your cash instantly with constant dead spins, strange this doesn't balance itself out across all places but always the good stay good and the bad stay bad
Another good 'nice to have' is an approachable, helpful and active casino rep here on Casinomeister, Have a fair few of those at the places I play who have become good virtual 'friends' over the years, no special favours or expectations but a bit of banter now and then and there if I need them
