Hmmm well I'm thinking of moving casinos, so I might take a look soon. I am with William Hill (WH), who are ok. Compared to other sites like Ladbrokes and Betfair, playing with WH borders on inconvenient.
They gave me a seperate ID for playing in free mode, but I never kept the ID details (my fault I know). Thinking my normal 'real-money' ID would work, it was not accepted after 3 attempts (convinced I was typing password wrong).
I should never have danced with the devil at this stage, but I deposited 64 just so I could play a little in real-money mode. It could have been a big mistake, but I was fortunate to end up with a balance of 82.25. I've withdrawn the winnings and for the next 24 hours will decide whether to withdraw the original 64 deposit or try to play on with it until the end of the month.
Ignoring the winnings, I'm a little annoyed that my 'real-money' ID cannot access the free play. It has left me thinking about going to a new casino, especially one which does not use auditors to check that my withdrawal is valid and takes 4 days to put through (as advised by the c/s advisor).
At the same time I need to re-think my banking process. I've funded deposits with credit card. Made cash withdrawals to my Paypal. Withdrawing the money then from Paypal to my standard bank account. Finally sending the required funds from my bank account to clear the credit card. I know, awful banking procedure. I will make no more deposits from a credit card now. I think my very first cash withdrawal has finally landed in my bank account today. Now I can begin to re-pay the credit card.
Betfred and
32Red are websites I've noted already, as sites to consider any future business with.
