The best casino : I'll go with Videoslots. Huge game selection, ultra fast withdrawal, great rewards like casino race and cashback without any wagering requirement and the rep here is very active.

The worst casino : Am I allowed to name the casino where I don't register? I have to go with Lucky247 and all the casinos that has withdrawal limit of 6 x deposit.
 
Best Casino 2015: Video Slots they have it all, Guts is great also.

Worst Casino: Rich Casino very pushy. annoyingly.

Best Casino Group: Betat

Best Player Experience: Netent

Best Casino Representative: Hard to choose really so I choose a few :) Betat, Gia, Mark 32RED and of course Dan.Video Slots

Best Casino Manager: Phillip Video Slots
 
my 2 favourite casinos this year as a player are Casumo and Energy Casino, Casumo for the simpistic and easy site with no hassles, game selection and regular promos, and Energy Casino for providing UK players with novo slots.

Others ive played at regularly are 32red for the mg download slots, betat/slotty a whole host more too but those are the first to come to mind.

slot release wise i think its been average, so most of time has been playing wms and novo, with a bit of netent/mg but im not sure theres been 1 new go to slot for me added this year that would replace any of the older faithful titles.

I would also like to make a suggestion for a new award. A "Lifetime achievement" award for one forum poster per year. Perhaps they could get a unique colour for their username, or a special unique title. I would like to nominate "Vinylweatherman". He's been around longer than VHS videotapes and reading one of his posts is akin to reading War and Peace but he always makes solid contributions to threads and puts players interests first. His special ability of "knowledge of UK consumer law" is also invaluable and has taught me a lot of things I did not know. What I do also know is he also once emptied treasure island at 32Red (special undertitle of "Treasure Island emptier" perhaps) :D

Thanks for reading.

What is less well known is that I also emptied Treasure Ireland a second time at GNUF:p, which later closed, whereas Betway group (parent of GNUF) have gone rather quiet, no emails, no offers, etc

Best and worst

Hello.

The longlasting best experience I vote for Omni Casino. The support is friendly and helpful everytime you need assistance. Omni Casino has very nice bonuses every week, with reasonable wagering requirements. (25 x dep+bonus)
Every saturday you can get a nice 200 % bonus! (same wagering req as other bonuses, max bet 6 Euros)

As a loyal player they also have hot seat promotion. You get loaylty bonuses credited with no wagering requirements. Now and then they have lucky draws in witch you can win loaylty bonuses without wagering reqiurements.

As a loyal player you also get your winnings faster (within 2 days). They pay like clockwork.

And you do not get bonusbanned if you are lucky to win ( as most casinos tend to do nowadays.)

The worst experience this year I hade with SlotsPlus Casino. When to withdraw a winning in this casino is like shop books in England during the 1970's.

Despite they have approved all your documents, they have to phone you. And after the verification on phone the security controll lasts a week. And then you have to get in contact with the finance department which have no communication with the security department,
When the verification i cleared from security, the finance doesn´t know. And when you tell the finace department that you are verified,
they can not give you an update for your withdrawal because the provider of payment is not ready to pay because...bla...bla..bla...

It took me over a month to get my 500 dollars in winning. With help of Max here at Casinomestier. (Thank you Max!!!)
Two days after PAB they paid.

Best experience: OMNI CASINO
Worst: SLOTSPLUS CASINO
 
Okay Highlights of 2015 at casinomeister.

1. Videos section with all the winner videos always makes good viewing especially Dunovers videos and reviews. Glad to see someone reacts the same way as I do playing slots.

2. Disappointments of 2015. Microgaming deciding lets just clone every damned slot as people are so gullible they will see different animation and think its totally new.

3. Best casino Reps a no brainer. Mark from 32RED wins it easily. Unlike other Reps he has remained active and pleasant and always tries to answer even tho its often about the same queries and complaints from over a year ago posted. Also goes out of his way to help and although ive personally never dealt with him really until recently I had a very nice exchange in PM which just went to show what a decent all round guy he is.

4. Biggest farce of the year has got to be EM and all the self exclusion fiasco. Whole thing could have been handled so much better and its turned into a real mess tho no point going into it again.

5. Best casino is too hard to choose this year as some great new casinos out and others are still going just as strong. But some great casinos of last year are still great but not quite as good. Just to hard to pick the top couple now as they all have different plus points. But at a push I would still go GUTS for multiplatform and for standalone MG its still 32RED.

US perspective

From my US Perspective :

Best US Facing - Raging Bull - Very fast no nonsense payments

Best US Bit Coin - Bit Stars - Really love this bit coin casino. They offer a nice variety including Endorphina ( Which I hope does not get UK license so I can keep playing)

Worst Group - EveryMatrix - Their self exclusion policy needs some serious work.

Worst US - Golden Lady Rival - They call my home constantly and I cant get them to stop. I'm even really rude and mean to them on the phone but they still come back for more.
 
Videoslots is the best casino of 2015. Huge game selection, fast payouts (never waited more then an hour), rewards (WR free FS), cashback, casino race each week and of course Battle of Slots. I very rarely have to contact support or the reps but from what i've read they're doing a great job aswell. I have basically stopped playing at other sites because of how good Videoslots are.


Best software of 2015: NetEnt, I never thought I would chose them but whilst the others release clone after clone, NetEnt atleast have released some cool and NEW concepts in 2015. I'm greatly dissapointed by the releases of Microgaming and WMS in 2015.
 
casino of the year 2015:
I choose between Redbet and GoWild. Redbet has always treated me very well and the withdrawals have been very swift. Game selection there is pretty damn good, all you need, WMS, Netentertainment and Microgaming. The best casino with individual offers is GoWild. You get emails from your account manager and you can redeem them very easily in the software.

best casino-group 2015:
I'm still new and don't know all the groups but I know that Superlenny Group is good (Betit). I like the layout and they are customized in my language.

best rep 2015:
The Videoslots reps.

best casino-manager 2015:
I like the contributions of Igor from betat casino. From what I have read he let's us players know a little bit about the casino operations. Maybe he gives more information than other casino-managers. I like that.

best innovation 2015:
I like the information that the Meister Minions are providing. I think this is something really good that has been invented in 2015. A little tweak would be to separate averages from ewallets and other payments. Some casinos have only 1 hour average for ewallets but 3 day average on wire-transfers and if a user has reported a lot of wire-transfers the average is higher than what a ewallet user can expect. So just for somebody like me that quickly checks how swiftly a casino is paying a sub-average would be a great addition.
 
Here are my candidates:

Best casino: Mr Green
Best Casino Group: Bonnier (Redbet, Whitebet, Vinnarum and more)
Best Casino Rep: Mark 32Red
Best game provider: Quickspin

Worst experience of the year: Without any competition Everymatrix for their SE debacle
Most annoying forum member: JGTB, I know he haven’t been able to post anything 2015 but his 2014 deserves another reward ;-)
 
Best casino : Betat , very close 2nd guts
Best Casino Group : Guts
Worst Casino: ladbrokes (only casino ive ever had problems with)

Best and Worst of Online Gambling - Meister Awards for 2015 - I need your input!

Yep, once again a year has flown past and the Casinomeister Awards are being scrutinized and tabulated. Just like last year, and the year before, and the year before that, etc., etc., this is your chance to suggest new and interesting categories, awards, recipients, or any other input for that matter. :thumbsup:

For the newbies, The Casinomeister Awards are dished out right after the Xmas break - usually during the third week of January. It's a super-duper special annual event that's been done since 2001.

For quite a number of people, these are the only awards that matter...

The most recent years:

https://www.casinomeister.com/static/meister_awards/bestworst2014.php
https://www.casinomeister.com/static/meister_awards/bestworst2013.php
Best Worst 2012

I could use input on best/worst categories. Stupid casino tricks - worst named, and/or anything else you can think of.

With your input - I will be putting together a short list for the Best Casino 2015. The short list will be voted on (in a secret vote) by the Casinomeister Advisory Group.

So, who will it be?

Sorry when is deadline for this as I would of course like to post my opinion. Just wanna make sure I do not miss it :p Is it by end of this month or?
 
Best casino yet again Betat, i genuinely belive betat actually cares about the player and not the profit it can make on them, CS is ridiculously good, games are fair, never lag, bonuses are if anything to generous, constant casinomeister comps, reps that reply within minuetes, i could go on.

31 December since we are concerned with 2015. That's when I close this thread, compile the shortlist and give it to the CAG members. That's also about the time I start doing the write-ups for everything else. :D
