32red in the shortlist ..... you must be having a giraffe !
 
Guts is on the shortlist even though there have been numerous complaints about the quality of their casino here? Lag, disconnections etc? If one can't trust that "the best casino of the year" do their uppermost and have the abilities to provide all their customers with a good playing experience, I would say the award is kind of worthless.

We are suppose to judge a casino after how they have been during the whole year, and my guess is also that Bryan have his own way of seing things.

A list like this was never posted last year. I guess you have to trust those who votes.
 
I agree Video Slots has to be number one for many reasons even though I do like 32 Red as well :)

Can't you play at Video Slots ?

Sure I can Mina and have nothing against them whatsoever

Trouble is as a low roller with a limited budget (very limited at the moment) I tend to shop around for a bonus / the best deal of the day (That's easier said than done these days lol)

Video slots don't offer these upfront bonuses hence me not being active their.

Yes they offer cash back, races etc but these are not really my cup of tea.

Should the day come when they do regular bonuses which carry WR and tie you in from the off (and they add Novomatic) I will probably play there :thumbsup:

Having said that as I mentioned in Harry's thread if and when 32 Red go multi provider then the whole of my annual budget will go to them. Lots of history with those guys since 2006, with VS I think I've made <10 deposits lifetime :oops:

Although not a low roller (I am somewhere of a low but many deposits kind of girl), I too like to shop round for a good bonus mainly because my playtime is very limited with all the bad luck I have, so videoslots is also out for me
 
Obviously criteria is far more reaching than bonuses. Any CAG member worth their salt will look at the casino's record over the last year, i.e. their response to any issues/threads that required the input of a rep, their product and if it has improved or been maintained well, innovations, general observations about their overall CS, lack of complaints plus conduct here too.

This is why I sometimes have a twinge of concern that there are 'unsung' casinos here, 1 or 2 in Bryan's list of 5 that you simply don't read much about because they do things right and have few complaints or controversies yet maybe people could overlook them as a result of their low profile - it's not all about coming on here offering bonuses or competitions to members although that effort is nice to see, but the bigger picture i.e. the underlying product and attitude toward their customers and consistency thereof, or even improvements they make on behalf of their customers - especially if they are in response to wishes or ideas expressed on CM!
 
It would be a travesty to acclaim casinos that have regressed in the last year, notably Guts and 32Red. Reputations from three years ago shouldn't count, or in 32Red's case accolades from the 1980s.

A couple of good outfits in that list but it looks more like an industry back-slapping contest.
 
It would be nice to see CasinoLuck get the award. I think they deserve more recognition, than they maybe get.

They've added easy to use, instant RG controls, where other's have made RG more difficult
They haven't added extra Deposit and withdrawal charges, where other's have
They haven't changed their WR, or added more games (other than those which are necessary) to their excluded from bonus play list, as some others have.
Their promotions are regular and consistent
Their chasout times, while not instant, are pretty quick, compared to others
And Eric's one of the most professional reps on CM

But.... I think Videoslots will walk away with the title.
Not that there's anything wrong with VideoSlots, but they do only get a small fraction of my deposits, since like Jon, I prefer an upfront bonus compared to winning a few quid in cashback and casino races

yep I was just stating the reasons I dont play at Videoslots, I do agree with your formula on how a casino should be judged, I am a little surprised by that list TBH
 
Gonna be a close call between Trada and Videoslots in my opinion.

I know where my vote would go to.
 
Don't agree with shortlist, but.....

- Don't play at Videoslots

- Don't play at 32red

- Guts dropped the ball big time so this vip had enough and closed my account

- I thought Trada were the new Guts until I won big there and suddenly attitudes changed towards me, as did some terms and conditions to suite them. Another casino who lost my vip business

- This leaves Casino Luck with my vote. I've been a long time player across all their sites and to be honest they are the only casino group I have dealt with who's service has always remained consistent over the past 3-4 years I have played with them, and they have never changed that level of service based on my wins or losses, nor have they tried to change or reinterpret their terms and conditions when I've been on a winning run like Trada did

Good luck to all. :)

I'd say:

- Play at Videoslots

- Play at 32RED

- Play at Casino Luck if you like weekly bonuses and 'ye ol' DOA :D

I stick to my initial ratings :

32Red for download MG
VS for multi - platform


@OP - just saying "don't play" here and there is not enough.

Would you rather I lie?

The point of me saying I don't play at a certain site is so those particular sites aren't unfairly represented in the reasons for my actual vote.

Hence my vote for Casino Luck doesn't mean I think VS or 32red aren't worthy winners, rather that I can't compare them to CL because I don't have the experiences to do so.

On the flip side, I'm well aware of what Guts and Trada bring to the table so therefore was able to compare them with CL and imo they don't meet the mark.

Is that ok with you or does my opinion somehow count for less or is the subject of harsher scrutiny because I haven't been a member here long?

Sorry but I'm struggling to see why you singled me out when my summary seemed similar to others here. :)

Terribly sorry, totally misunderstood what you were saying in your post.

Got it know, you don't play at VS and 32RED. I thought you meant to warn people not to play there.

Of course everyone's opinion counts equally on this forum. Sorry again. :oops:

Apology accepted. ;)

I'm also sorry as it didn't cross my mind that what I wrote could be misinterpreted like that.

Sorry if I jumped the gun and came across overly defensive. I was just a little confused.

Thanks for being understanding. :)
 
rizk didn't make the shortlist but 32red did.

nothing against 32red...just with all their changes...they took a step backward and rizk took a step forward with the lock feature on withdrawals.
i guess there are more guts and 32red players on this forum.

well...i hope videoslots wins...

Those casinos who went through BBF last year is competing for Best New casino for 2016, so I guess that is why Rizk isn't on that list.

I hope so too, they are awesome. I like Videoslots too. Especially the part where you take a nose dive and close the game and error not logged in.
But thats just me
