Each casino has a seperate bonus for new users.
You can play in all four casinos and collect the new player bonus's in each was what I was told by support in Costa Rica.

Phone support 1-866 407-6455 just to be sure the proper bonus's are in place for each casino.

I have found customer support to be "EXCELLENT" and informative.

They all have a very fair bonus and low wager requirements.

I am about to play these four casinos in the next few days.

I will keep you up on the results in EACH casino ASAP.

I took a look at this site ( Selective Casino ) but I did not find any information on this site which software is used. So may be this software is rigged. N.B.: unknown software

I rather prefer stay away or play only for free for now.

There is many other site that offer similar bonus which wager requirement is higher but you that the software is not cheating: Cryptologic, Boss Media, MGS, RTG, Playtech and a few well established site like Casino on Net and Global Player.

There are actually alot more casinos in their group. Some of the others are Pink Lady, Gambling Online casino, Lucky Gate. I've played there for a few years now, mainly at the first two (could never win anything at the 3rd). While they did seem to be great then with good bonuses, reasonable wagering requirements, etc., I think they have gone downhill in the past year or so.

After a major software upgrade, their BJ went from what seemed to be a fair game to what now appears to be a less than fair game. Though you could play multi hands, it didn't seem to matter whether you played one or more hands, the dealer was always coming out ahead. Their slots, which used to be fun, cost as little as a nickel, and payed out fairly regularly, got MUCH tighter and their videopoker also seemed to have a less than expected payback, despite the seemingly excellent pay tables.

I went from having a good time there and actually winning once in a while when playing regularly, to not having a winning session EVER over the past year or so, no matter what I played. Something definately changed there with that 'upgrade' and I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. I'm curious to hear about your experience.

Hi everyone,
Please keep in mind, that any casino which is licensed in Costa Rica, does not have a "gambling" license. Costa Rica can only issue "business licenses", and there is a big difference between the two. Bryan has emphasized this many times. You are basically gambling at your own risk, as there is no organization that can help you if you are not paid should you win.

I am pretty sure they use Transnet software,... here the link:

[jetset]

Transnet casino used MGM Systems software; I'm not sure if they are still in business as a lot of casinos using their stuff were in extremis earlier this year.

Last time I looked GF was using iCrystal software.

 

[cegep]

Yes GF uses iCrystal software:

[jpm]

Thanks for the update Lanidar. What did you play?

 

[lanidar]

Hi jpm

Strickly Blackjack....I really don't think I did that well at all

 

[jpm]

Well considering how fair I think their BJ plays these days, I'd say you did pretty well!

 

[lanidar]

LOL..you're probably right.
But with all the time and effort I put into them, phone calls and all ( just to be sure of the T&C in each one) I would have liked to have done better.
Maybe it wasn't them...maybe I just had a bad day.

 

[lanidar]

GOLDENBALLS AND VIDEOPOKERCLASSIC PAID MY NETELLER.
THATS REASONABLY FAST......RIGHT

THESE WERE BOTH A SMALL LOSS, BUT THEY PAID IN A TIMELY FASHION.

PINKLADY IS THE ONE WITH THE $115.00 PROFIT AND
CASINOFREEDOM WITH THE $25 PROFIT.

THESE ARE THE ONES I'M WAITING FOR....LOL

LANIDAR

 

[lanidar]

PINKLANDYand CASINO FREEDOM BOTH PAID TODAY

VERY GOOD TURN AROUND...APPROXIMATELY THREE TO FOUR DAYS :kiss:

[selectivecasino]

Hello To All:

I have come here to help clear any confusions and also to let you know a bit about GF and its casinos as well.

First of all, we are using Icrystal software.

we also have never used RIGGED software either!

Selective Casino for example is getting to be more well know everyday for its great free$10 offer as well as its 100% bonus up to $150.00

You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.

We have paid out a whole bunch of cash to a whole bunch of happy people especially lately witht the people taking advantage of our free offer.

If i may share a posting from another board I discovered well surfing the other day:



Link Removed ( Old/Invalid)

Here you will find some commments both good and bad, we will let you decide on our fairness.

We are also known to work with several forums as well as far as sponsoring contests, free casino account giveaways etc...

Therefore, please once and for all, anybody who has played with us and won can tell you that they had the greatest gambling experience ever, anybody who played with us and lost will tell you the complete opposite, this you see of all online casinos and sometimes its surprising the length people will go to....

However this is part of the online casino industry so be it.

Gambling Federation has been know as a prompt payer , never have I seen posted otherwise as I am sure many of you have as well, GF pays, that would be the first question I would ask myself before spending any money at any online casino.

also we have had many huge winners, all one has to do is sign up for our newsletter to receive info about the casino and our great promotions.

we also have progressive jackpots which have been hit for large sums of money and have all been paid in full!

In the end , it depends on your own judgement where you play or if you even play at all, I certainly wish to take the opportunity to say HI to all who have played with Selective Casino in the past and to all who have not, we welcome you aboard!

GF Bonus rule:

You may receive the fre $10- a max of 3 times in 3 different GF casinos, however you may have up to 10 different casino accounts.

I hope this clears things up.


Regards,

John Picken

Selective Casino Manager

 

[hhcfreebie]

I have to agree with jpm. Their BJ used to be fair but after the upgrade, it is very unlikely to be fair.
Even with $1 per hand, their payout stay at 90-92% after thousands of hands. It is very unlikely they offer a fair game.
I strongly suggest anyone NOT to play their video pokers. It's not random even before the upgrade.

 

[selectivecasino]

Dear hhcfreebie


Can yo uplease be so kind as to inform to us where you have managed to come up with this information?

I would greatly appreciate it if you could personally email me with all you findings at :

[email protected]

I myself will be more than happy to post your findings here on this forum.

Best Regards,

Selective Casino Manager

 

[jpm]

I couldn't agree with you more hhcfreebie, the video poker there never felt right. The multihand vp was particularly obvious. I could never get anything decent no matter what I was initially dealt.

I think they lost too much with all the bonuses they used to give out and had to tighten up all the games. The slots are extremely tight now. I used to be able to play all nite on the nickel slots with $100. After the upgrade, it wouldn't last me 30 minutes.

Same with the blackjack, it is absolutely brutal now. Cleans me out whether I play one hand or multiple hands at once. It has definately changed since that last major upgrade about a year ago. Haven't been able to win anything since then.

I can say that when I actually did have something to withdraw back then, they did process it very quickly. But I wouldn't know how they are now.

 

[vperezr]

Hi members,

I am Victor Perez, the manager of Golden Balls Casino, one of the GFED casinos.

The upgrade done on last october was only for the bonus structure. For example, our casino offers 50% up to $200 on your first purchase with a wagering req. of 3 times the bonus + deposit. The games system was not updated, so it is having the same payouts rate.

I think that everything is matter of your luck. At Golden Balls we are having everyday winners of big amount. Believe me, because I manage the daily stats of our casino. We are trying at GFED to be the best of the industry...with the best software, good odds and fast delivery of your winnings. Of course, as Selective Casino's administrator wrote...if you find someone who won it probably tell you that our casino is good...and if it lost, then you must hear the oppositive.

Our Casino offers an automatic $10 added to your account. If for any reason the system doesn't add it you must fill out the form to request it at Old / Expired Link

Most of the time, the reason for not receive it automatically is that you have received it in more than 3 casinos of GFED group. But you don't lose anything fill in the form and waiting that our support contact you talking about the reason by wich you have not received the FREE $10.

We are having a good wag req because we don't want to give you a big bonus with a hard wag req ...we prefer to give you little bonus with an easy wag req. This is the reason and not as you maybe think that our software is rigged.

If you have any further problem or doubts, don't hesitate to contact me at [email protected]

Thank you for your attention and have a nice & lucky day.

Remember, visit our casino at

[selectivecasino]

Well Said Victor!

I think you have covered the whole aspect.

John

SC manager

 

[jpm]

I was talking about the upgrades done in 2002 which DEFINATELY DID change the games system. Among other things, it increased the speed of the blackjack game tremendously. That is when things changed.

And its not a matter of luck when you cannot win on ANY game of a matter of many MONTHS of play. Even the odds would say that you'd have to win something at some point over that long a period of play, not just over 1 or 2 sessions.

Note, I'm only referring to play at 3 of the GFED casinos: Pink Lady, (un)Lucky Gate, and Gambling Online. Never played at Golden Balls, so I can't speak to that one specifically.

 

[vperezr]

Hi again,

JPM, I am not talking related to you specifically...I talked in general to put the things clear.

The update made on april 2002, for Golden Balls Casino, was done for the plataform of the software only. We have now our software in C++ and within a short time our software will be upgraded at all with better graphics and sounds.

Im sure our payouts rate is about 97.5% or higher.

Maybe, next time, jpm when you play at Golden Balls Casino, you will win some money and you will change your minds.

And remember to write my email address [email protected] if you need further assistance.

Victor Perez
Golden Balls Casino
Casino Manager

 

[kniepm]

What do you say JPM, is there going to be a "next time" for you?

 

[jpm]

Well I've never signed up or played at Golden Balls, but the only way I'll play at the other 3 I mentioned is if they give me free money to play with!

 

[ohwho]

I've played at Goldenballs Casino for over 2 years. I've Always experienced Excellent customer support and fast payouts without hassles. The manager, Victor Perez, is determined to run a fair and reputable casino. He has personally responded to emails I've sent to answer my questions or clear up any concerns that I had. I've seen many posts on the EZ Board forums from other players who think highly of Goldenballs Casino, so I know my great experience there isn't just a fluke.

 

[jpm]

I may have to give Goldenballs a try.

I can say that I also had excellent customer service and, before the change of s/w, fast payouts at the three gfed casinos I was referring to as well. But that doesn't change the underlying issue there.

Let me ask you this ohwho, have you had any significant wins at Goldenballs ($100 or more)? How recently and if you remember, from which games?

Thanks.

 

[ohwho]

Hi jpm.... Yes, I've had wins of $100+ ... I just cashed out $450 last week and $100 on Sat. Those are just the most recent. I play the slots almost 100%, play only nickels and my deposits are almost always between $20 & $50. I play the 9-line slots, bell fever and double dice most of the time. Note: the cashouts I make are usually a total of multiple big spins.

I hope this answered your questions!

ohwho

 

[jpm]

Thanks ohwho, you definately answered my questions. I like the 9 line slots as well (wild genie was my favorite until it stopped paying), I'll occassionally play bell fever & double dice as well.

I may just give goldenballs a try and see what happens. Seems like they are making an effort to be one of the good guys.

 

[jpm]

Well I gave Goldenballs a try and I'll give them credit for a decent bonus and wagering requirements. Also, their slots & video poker seem to play more like they should. I actually got some good hands on jokers wild, a bunch of 4ok & fh's. At the other 3 GFED casinos, I could never seem to get over a flush. I'm more convinced than ever that those other 3 casinos are not playing fair.

The blackjack here however leaves MUCH to be desired. It plays as poorly as at the other 3 casinos. In other words, I believe it is NOT dealing a fair game. Its even more 'lucky' than the microgaming invincible dealer. Never seen so many multicard 21s & dealer BJ when I up my bet or play 3 hands at once. At no point did I have more money than I started the game with, and it cleaned me out in short order.

Bottom line, DO NOT PLAY BLACKJACK AT GFED unless you like to lose your money! (Rainman please take note!!)

 

[murder1]

LMAO!!

 

[caruso]

I've played a fair bit of the GF stable recently, all blackjack. I've only lost at one or two of them, and then only very slightly. At the others I've won. Overall, I'm WELL up playing GF blackjack, and payments have been received within between three and five days, with no hassles / bullsh*t whatsoever. From my own perspective, the blackjack game is VERY fair indeed. Heck, I'd almost say it was quasi "random".

Thumbs up all round to Gambling Federation from my end.

 

[caruso]

Hahahahaha. I do so enjoy eating crow.

I had my worst by far session of online blackjack EVER at Blackjack Club yesterday. Over approx. 650 hands, I lost 130 units. 4.5 SDs. Even my worst ever Microgaming session, about two years ago, came in at about 3.5. Quite extraordinary.

You'd need a sample of 100 million hands to see an abhorrance like that in a random game.

Yes, it's rigged. Or rather, selectively riggable.

My apologies, and I retract all the bullsh*t I posted above.

(Memo to self: NEVER praise online casinos. :flamemad: )

 

[jpm]

Well I'm glad to see I wasn't imagining things, but sorry you got screwed by this group too. I think selectively riggable is a good description. It seems to follow the pattern of 'let them win for a while, then turn on the blackjack vacuum and suck it all back'.

I'll say it again:
DO NOT PLAY BLACKJACK AT GFED unless you like to lose your money!

Hope you have better luck elsewhere caruso! (I don't think you could do worse!!)

 

[sls616]

Hi there!! I have played the slot machines many times at Commodore and Player's Utopia, and have had no problems at all. I won $100 with the $10 sign-up bonus at Commodore and received my payout quick and without any problems. I have deposited many times since then at both casinos and have been lucky playing the slots, which are the only games I play. All of my cashouts have been paid out in whatever way I request, weither by check, or my personnal checking account, or into my online accounts.

 

[bradleyt]

I've played at pink lady and commodore and my net for BJ is -$2 (including bonus money).

Hit some extremely bad runs including 16 straight losses at commodore lol.

 

[caruso]

OK, how about this?

Another -40 units after approximately 180 initial hands at Swiss.

This gives an appriximate total of 900 initial hands and 170 units lost.

This is tad under FIVE STANDARD DEVIATIONS

In "fairnes" (hahahahahaha): the test was conducted post, not pre, so I'm selectively choosing bad data.

Nonetheless, these results are SOOOOO bad as to leave not the slightest question in my mind that the Gambling Federation software is fixed. Aside from the Casino Bar experiment, has anyone else experienced results like these, ever, anywhere?

Take my experinces as a "free" warning and stay the hell away from these crapholes.

 

[love2vegas]

Hey Caruso, JPM, & OTHERS: I'll weigh in on my personal experience, playing my favorite: video pokers. After receiving a 100% match bonus- meaning $200 to play around with, I must say I have never lost money so fast in my life! Now, I play a lot of VP and I understand losing streaks, etc. but this was a unique expereience. Even my experience with SLOTS ALLEY was nothing like this. I mean, very seldom did I ever get even a three of a kind, never got a flush when trying for it, and maybe had one full house! Kept thinking, this can't continue- there has to be some winning combinations in there- but, before I knew it- the entire amount had drained away!(Literally in minutes!) I have no idea if the software is in anyway fixed, but an experience like this has told me to put them in the "never again" pile!

 

[jpm]

Exactly the same experience I had at one of them love2vegas! I could not believe I wasn't seeing anything better than 3ok and I was playing Joker Poker! Once in a while a flush (VERY rarely) but nothing better. It was astounding and quite obviously not random. Never had as bad a VP session anywhere else (though Roxy Palace & Spin Palace came close).

Also had the same reaction as Caruso's while playing BJ. This just can't be random.

 

[love2vegas]

I was playing Aces & Faces or Jacks or Better and I honestly doubt I even saw more than 3-4 3 ok in all the hands & that included playing multi-hand!
(well, saying "all the hands" makes it sound like there were a lot of hands. Although $200 should mean lots of hands, my session was very close to the minimum number of hands you could have!)
I will definitely give them the record for taking my money the fastest! (Interestingly- I also had a terrible session at Roxy's a few months ago- even though I think that is a microgaming outfit!)
Oh, well. I'll someday learn to stick to the places where I know they are fair.

 

[florst28]

I would just like to say first off that i have found gfed casinos to be perfectly fair. I am actually up overall at their casinos. I'm trying to play at lucky gate, but the website is in a different language. Anyone know if you can get it to be in english?

Thaks.

 

[wanda5]

darn! rather than looking up g-fed I looked up "Commodor Casino" to see what everyones experiences have been. I found no bad posts about it so I tried it & after playing about 6 times the EXACT same thing would happen. I would make my deposit and go on a total losing streak and then FINALLY win one that would not get me even NEAR where I began (if that makes sense) its like no matter what, I would never get ahead of what I went in with. For instance, if I deposit $100 I would lose about $30 before I would suddenly win $15 and then lose another $30 and so on, it kept on that way until I was finally at zero. I played every slot and even cards and had the exact same results. I never left a game with more than I went in with. So darn darn darn darn I need to keep up with this board!!

 

[Lady Luck]

Dutch Player wins 50,000.00 at GF casino

On September 8th and 9th, while playing the Lucky Five slot machine, Ed.N from the Netherland's won a total of 50,000.00 with the 9.00 wagers he was making. Here is what our lucky winner had to say about his great experience with Gambling Federation.

I really love playing at my favorite G-Fed casino and on Thursday night I won ten thousand Euros! I couldnt believe my eyes, and immediately I requested a cash out. I still had a couple of hundred Euros left on my account, so I thought: why not play a bit more, since Ive just won such an amount of money! To my great astonishment I won another ten thousand Euros! I started to feel a little nervous, but played a bit more. It must have been my lucky day, because after wagering a bit more I won thirty thousand Euros!

I won fifty thousand Euros on one night.. from now on Im even a bigger fan of the Gambling Federation!

Ed.N in Groningen

Ed.N cashed out on the 8th and 9th, and recieved his payment specially delivered to his bank account after providing the standard requested security documents. Remember, dont hesitate to play big and win! You never know, you could be the next Ed.N to win big and cash out huge!!

(Big breath and please don't bar me, Bryan.)

Screw you, Gambling Federation jackass shill. Your software is THE most rigged pile of piss out there. You were cheating on version 1 'til you were busted, so you issued version 2; then you were caught cheating on THAT one - see my WOL link - so you issued the current one, version 3, which is no doubt set to play exactly the same, ie. fair or rigged however the whim takes you. Don't talk to me about "sour grapes" or "hey, that's gambling" - I have the play logs proof that you cheat, unless anyone cares to suggest that a FIVE STANDARD DEVIATION loss comes under the "hey, that's gambling" umbrella, LOLOLOL.

STAY AWAY from all Gambling Federation casinos. You MIGHT win - but do you really want to take the chance? They can set this software to play ANY WAY they want - and if anybody cares to challenge me on that statement I'll happily post the playlogs the casino provided.

[jpm]

I'll second Caruso on this one, STAY AWAY FROM ALL GAMBLING FEDERATION CASINOS. No doubt in my mind they are running rigged software. You may win one or 2 sessions, but after that, it'll be all downhill.

 

[Macgyver]

OK, I'll play devil's advocate here ...

I, personally, have had no problems with G-Fed whatsoever. I played at 3-4 of their casinos some months back and had no problems with their BJ tables, withdrawals or deposits from them, etc.

Just recently, it seems like there are a lot more of them out there. I took up 3 within the past 2 months who were offering 100% match bonuses up to $100. I profitted from 2 out of those 3 (by profit, I mean winnings on top of the bonus money given). The 2nd G-Fed casino I played I kept the bonus and tripled my original deposit, all in all.

Now, I did bust out on the 3rd and latest G-Fed casino I played. However, I still didn't see rigged play ... guess I just believe that the luck turned on me and was grateful for the prior wins.

Only problem *I* have with G-Fed is that they can't seem to get my NETeller deposit correct right away. I always seem to get an error when I attempt to deposit. However, I've learned to simply let their Live Chat know and within a few days, the problem magically disappears and I can deposit just fine.

Maybe I'm the lone player who's done well with them, but I figured it was at least worth my .02 cents.

 

[jpm]

Actually, your results are typical. You do start out doing ok or even making a profit, then the worm turns and you can never win. In this case, I actually do believe in the 'switch' that some have alleged is thrown in some casinos that makes you lose consistently.

 

[DeMango]

Back in the Casino Bar trials, The Wiz testified he finally got a fair game from his home computer, ISP, after his initial complaints. But testing the same game at a friends house he got a different, rigged (original) game. So the "switch" is definately a possibility, give you one game at first then an "update" on the software!

 

[maxfalcon]

I will play the devil's advocate as well, the first ever player I referred to GFED back last month has won some money...

When you say

Actually, your results are typical. You do start out doing ok or even making a profit, then the worm turns and you can never win.

This is the kind of thing I experienced at Microgaming, Playtech, GFED, land-based casino and other gambling games.

I think the new GFED is a good software, maybe games are not as balanced as Microgaming or Playtech, and they need to work on that.

I would for sure be ready to debate on some hard proof evidence of "switchs", or any evidence related to cheating, which is something serious online casinos don't need at all in their games, as they are making money without that, and would not make money in long term if they employ such silly practices.

I would be happy to know other bad/good experiences on Vegas Paradise & Lucky Gate that I can post on my site.

 

[jyde]

The G-fed concept sucks. They probably have more than 1000 "casinos" and hundreds of them are "owned" by people who lost interest years ago. You can probably find 4-5 generations of terms and conditions - some of them are more than 3 years old. G-fed can't do anything about it since they don't control the websites, they can just send an email to the webmaster and ask him to update the terms.
