Trada cs are awscakes, I used to always get "liam" who even after a month or more would either remember (or maybe they can see previous chats) and would bring up the 4 slice toaster I promised to buy him if I won the mega moolah.


I just quoted this back to Liam and he asked me to pass on the following message :D


Hali! Long time no speak!

Below is an image of my dream toaster lol ;) Visit me on live chat and say hello, I'm on until 5pm today :)

Ill always love 32red although another year without a withdrawal and the majority (by far) of my deposits, makes me a little sad, also my computer died about 2 months ago and they don't have a mobile version of the golden lounge for Aussies, at all! I had lots of points which will all expire cuz I can't play there now :(.
I never have any luck at rizk!?!? Or on that stupid warlords slot, I've given them both a decent run too,
I am probably too much of a risky warlord in my day to day life right?......... Ummmmm anyway
Video slots is great for getting lots of play out of each deposit, with the spins every week, cashbacj and casino race, plus I LOVE LOVE how fast the quick deposit is, its like 2 seconds if that, no stuffing around loading page after page entering details over and over again. Mind you making depositing super easy, often results in a fear of viewing my bank account balance.
Although I don't post every day or all that often at all, I do read and enjoy a good deal of what goes on in the forum. Biggest thanks to goatwack for making me LOL literally. Not LOL like the kids use it... All straight faced and quiet.
P.S. wanna get married or anything? You can bring your girlfriend, I'm down with that.

So I nominate Halibaker because she's great n that, and whatever casinos she mentioned something something.

And yeah sure, I'm ok with the marriage thing, so 'yes'.

Just pop over to the Meister Meet and we'll take it from there :eek:

ps You're paying for my flight :eek2:
 
So Close

It`s a tough one this Year in making this decision, especially for me, having been a supporter of 32Red for so long and for so many years, the inevitability of change eventually always happens. And this year it has come close. Close, but not quite there yet. My loyalty to 32Red will never change in any event. They have been great to me over the years I have been with them, and dont really have a single negative thing to throw their way. Yes I know many were unhappy with some of the changes they brought on in recent times but for me none of them have ever been an issue or detracted from why I play at a casino in the first place. Enjoyment.

Realistically 32Red has always provided me with everything I need out of a casino. I trust the operation immensely, the staff are great, the help or support is always there if ever its needed and Mark and Pat are never more than a bells whistle away (usually) :D To me a casino of the Year is, as I have always said one that `proves` itself worthy of the award and the fact that 32Red has won it for soooo many years is proof of that enough.

Of course, having said that only an idiot would say there is no grounds for improvement, which there clearly is. 32Red NEED to go multiplatform. It is an absolutely must and the quicker the better imo as casinos all around them are rising out of the depths and I have no doubt, taking business they once had. The ability to play a wide variation of slots is clearly a deal maker for many I`m sure. I have even succumbed to it myself. I love 32Red but sometimes its nice to be able to play different slots, from different providers, and while MG slots are brilliant, they no longer have the monopoly on innovative releases and enjoyable titles that once had. Those days are gone.

My choice for casino of the year still goes tol 32Red, but closely followed in 2nd spot by Videoslots, who have surprised and pleased this Year. Glowing reports and reviews, happy customers, a huge selection of games, fast payouts and knowledgeable staff. The one thing I would like to point out however is that over the years I have seen quite a few casinos rise out of nowhere, grab the praise and accolades and fight for contender of best casino of the Year, supported by many here at Casinomeister.....only to have them flash into obsquirity and virtually dissapear. 3Dice anyone? I am sure this isnt the case here with VideoSlots but I do believe a casino should be accredited for more than a couple of years before it even has the ability of contending for the top title. Of course, just my opinion.

Thank you so very much for that :notworthy

I wrote in my post that I wouldn't say which casino I thought should win since we have the voting later, but that wouldn't be fair since the reason wouldn't be known and neither would my vote.

I second every word you say in your post so thanks for that. 32Red is still my place ;)
 
worst casino is easily sportingbet for being a PITA, deposited 15eur with skrill that have 4.90% fee for the first time here, all the money allocated for gambling til the new year, only to be told after the money wasnt credited that i need to wait up to 48 hours!!! to be processed before i see the money in my account. a bloody deposit with an e-wallet, that is show in deposit info that should be instant, support arguing that the info was not updated. in 4 years of casino gambling and 7 in total including online poker ive never experienced this. to them ewallet is banktransfer? ill try to double, withdraw and close yet another account. im left with almost nothing but with landbased ones, cant say i miss online, a total economic disaster since 2013 and ongoing. i miss videoslots low-roller oriented reward system though and as i see in the forum they will earn the best casino again, fully deserved.
 
Best casino: PAF sometimes quite decent promos and at least for Finnish players the registration and verification takes a few minutes. Another plus is that they arent located in some banana republic. Other casinos have too much flaws like stone age verification procedures and deliberately awful account history to name a few.

Worst casino: Every single one that confiscates winnings because of one or two accidental bets. Just disgusting.

Worst casino group: RigOnNet

Best CS: Trada. Was really impressed by how fast and knowledgeable their CS agents seemed to be.

Worst CS: Videoslots. Most agents are ok but the bad ones are quite terrible. Technical issues takes forever to be resolved (if they are even resolved in the first place).

Best rep: Dan VS. The info of new games is so much better than on the site among other positive things.

Worst software: Quickspin by a mile.

Most annoying forum member(s): Self-proclaimed forum polices who think they are the ones that decides which casino can be criticized etc.
 
I've pinched most of the categories from Tirilej's post, here are my nominations-

Best new casino: Royal Panda

Best casino: 32 Red and Videoslots a close second

Worst casino: Surely Smartlive who stopped paying and later went bust owing many people money

Best casino group: 32 Red group

Worst group: I've seen lots of complaints about all the casinos in the group Planet 7 are part of being very slow payers, but I've no personal experience as I don't use them.

Worst platform or License holder: Probably Everymatrix given the SE issues

Best Manager/Rep: Mark- 32 Red, Dan- Videoslots, Melvin- Royal Panda

Worst Rep: No personal experience, but the guy from Dr Vegas must be in for a nomination for the thread where he admitted that T&C's had been changed retrospectively to avoid paying a customer!

Best/worst support: All are good at the ones I play at

Member of the year: HarryBKK & Jono

Best (& worst slot): Raging Rhino! Those who play it will know what I mean

Best and worst Casinos

Best and Worst of Online Gambling - Meister Awards for 2016 - I need your input!

Yep, once again a year has whizzed by and the Casinomeister Awards are being perlustrated, ranked, and written. Just like last year, and the year before, and the year before that, and that one, 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 an "event of the year" which has been held since 2001.

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

The most recent years:

https://www.casinomeister.com/casino-awards/year-2015/
https://www.casinomeister.com/static/meister_awards/bestworst2014.php
https://www.casinomeister.com/static/meister_awards/bestworst2013.php



The three best Casinos:Videoslots,Thrills,Rizk,

why?Because of the wagerfree freespins,the very nice layout and very nice pictures and the high amount of games and excellent promotions

worst Casinos:no worst Casinos

I play in all three Casinos

there is another candidate for best Casino namely the Casinorewards,because of the promotion
 
Worst Rep: No personal experience, but the guy from Mr Ringo must be in for a nomination for the thread where he admitted that T&C's had been changed retrospectively to avoid paying a customer!

Chris

Apologies I put Dr Vegas in error on my original post.

The best casinos to me are the ones you win and never worry.. don't even think about... I rarely ever have to be involved with a casino rep and that alone has to do with Casinomeister and your team..I truly appreciate all of you ...Happy Holidays!!

I play at Bovada.. awesome cashout time if you use bitcoin with in hours ..feel like I live in another country when that happens...lol

Jackpot Capital never a hassle I don't think ever had to use customer service...love the group.. play at all including Lucky Club

Uptown Aces awesome fun and no hassle ever

Red Stag same group as Uptown hassle free
 
Worst Casino Group : Ones that charge to deposit, unfortunately that includes Rizk, 2.5% is taking the piss
They also charge to withdraw as well! :eek2:

This group may well be totally superb in all other ways (I certainly don't have any other issues with them) - but personally I think charging players like this is totally out of line and I would be extremely disappointed if they win any of the "best" awards this year. :(

The only good thing about having these charges, is that it makes me want to cash-out sooner than I would at other casinos! (i.e. cash-out when only slightly ahead, so that my profit covers the fees).

Worst group: There are many out there but one is the Rival group who already was awful but then bought Tropica Group and didn’t give a damn about their affiliates and who over and over have shown that they are not to be trusted. BestPayPartners – CyberRock Entertainment NV.

That’s all I have, at least for now. It’s easy to forget things that have happened during a whole year.
I almost forgot about that too (how could I???)

Definitely a contender for Worst Affiliate Experience of the Year: Refilliates sold to BestPayPartners
I spent 18 months working very hard with Refilliates, as they built the group up from from just 2 casinos to 11 at the end (Dieter always seemed like a top-notch guy) and they seemed to be heading in totally the right direction, when out of the blue the group was sold to a bunch of criminals who immediately shut down all the affiliate programs and "Poof" all our players and income were gone. :(

That was Tom's casino wasn't it? :D

Seriously I am glad you actually still earn from US players, it's nearly impossible if you're new. :(
