Your Input Please It's that time of year again - need your input for the 2019 Casinomeister Awards

[Casinomeister]

Best and Worst of Online Gambling - Meister Awards for 2019 - I need your input!

Considered to be the only awards that matter in the online gaming industry, the Meister Awards are being decided now. These awards, some prestigious - some not, have been dealt out since 2001. This is your chance to suggest new and interesting categories, awards, recipients, or any other input for that matter.

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:

2018 Meister Awards,Best and Worst in Online Gambling - Casinomeister
2017 Meister Awards,Best and Worst in Online Gambling - Casinomeister

LOL, here are the Awards from 2004
The Best and Worst of Gambling for 2006 Not too much has changed...


Anyway, I could use your input on best/worst categories. Best player experience - worst player experience - worst named casino, and/or anything else you can think of.

Most Importantly: I create the shortlist of the Best Casino of the year with the input from this thread.

The short list will be voted on (in a secret vote) by the Casinomeister Advisory Group, and active Meister Minions at the end of December.

So, who/what will it be?

Looking forward to this again as it is where our opinions count and we can give our honest thoughts about casinos, software, industry reps etc etc...

• Just to remember Best and Worst Slots 2019 will be based on @dunover thread here: Contest - SLOT OF THE YEAR 2019 - your nominations needed!
• At the beginning of January, we will open a Thread related to the Most Awesome Screenshot of 2019 as we did last year here: Poll - Awesome Screenshot of 2018 Award?

I suggest a new catagory:

Streamer of the year

 

[goatwack]

Favourite Rosh Moments 2019

 

[bamberfishcake]

How about a Lifetime Achievement Award.

Game or Person.

A game that's stood the test of time and continues to deliver or maybe a person from the industry deserved of some recognition.

Edit: Brainstorming - How about starting a hall of fame?

 

[Jono777]

"That Extra Mile Award"

A member or rep who is present and helpful but goes above and beyond and is quick, efficient and accurate. Yes there are lots of great people here but I mean the person(s) who stand out from the already cream of the crop!

Can think of some nominees as I type....

Best Reps ending with 'or' and 'an' Award 2019

Best Reps ending with 'or' and 'an' Award 2019

How could I forget my best buddy Igor from BetAt, good times

 

[bamberfishcake]

Do we just make a nomination for best casino or is there some format for more info needed?

Also, How about 'Best Dressed Forum Member'?

I think it's stated that voting will be held via secret ceremony, though I always seem to forget how these things go

Usually keys in a bowl or am I getting mixed up with something else?

 

[KasinoKing]

It's about time we had a "Goat of the Year" award...

KK

 

[goatwack]

I'd rather not. Getting Runner-up spot to Bloatgoat would just finish me off (and not in a good way)

 

[dunover]

You wouldn't even get runner-up. My missus would win, Bloatgoat second. Sorry mate.

What about 'Bonanza Player of The Year' award?

 

[dionysus]

If it's like past years, Bryan will make a short list based on his own findings and what members have to say here
so post away your thoughts on some contenders

 

[dunover]

Oh yeah, the '1668 Trophy' or 'Cure-a-cow Cup' for the crappiest and consistently failing casino that was once decent.

Well, here we go...

Best Rep -
There's a fair few stand out, like Conor and Rachel and Jan; but I think a nod neefs to go to often overlooked homerbert; not only does he do his duties, he always jumps in to lend a hand where able regarding some of his casino brethren that he isn't really responsible for.

Best Casino Group -
L and L Properties.

Worst Casino Group -
CR
Sorry Renee, I know you're trying your best, but no properties' affiliates are worse for sheer volume of spamming email and facebook; theyre utterly rampant and obnoxious, and very, very often, outright fallacious.

Best Casino -
obv I'll cast my CAG vote down the road, but contenders would be Trada, VS, Casumo, Twin, and maybe, after coffee, I'll do a run-down on who and why (and why not)

Fall From Grace -
GUTS - they aren't rogue or anything; theyve just seemed to stop caring. Hit the top, bathed in their laurels, barely deign to look down on who (helped) put them there

Best Software -
There's probably some choices that not being able to play them, I can't much speak to them, so I'll leave it to others

Worst Software -
Migrogaming; just such bland offerings save for a handful
BTG, sorry guys, not worst, maybe all great and innovative last year, but the megaways engine has gotten so long in the tooth I'd sooner see you create something truly new and innovating to top yourselves

Which leads into perhaps 2 new cataegories -
Best and Worst trends of the year

Worst player - the collective sob stories who come to CM crying wolf and trying to circumvent the system, and all the idiots who 'can't ket go' and create new after new alias

I'll maybe come back for a few more after I've had a thought, search and sit-down but I'll leave with one reminder to members when casting votes or suggesstions - try to look at the year in whole; not who recently stumbled nor those that seem great near the finish line

Also, a nod to all the staff you don't much see up front but work hard behind the scenese keeping the CM machine ticking

 

[mcgameboy]

You wouldn't even get runner-up. My missus would win, Bloatgoat second. Sorry mate.

What about 'Bonanza Player of The Year' award?

Yes , I also think that pinnit deserves to win an award...

Oh.

While I am here....

What about a "MG 243 ways player of the year" award?

Failing that, we definitely need to add some more categories....

- The "I Fucking Hate Smegaways" Award (congrats in advance lotusch)

- Lifetime Achievement for services to virtual eye rolling (well done Harry, about time you won something)

- The CM award for Political Incorrectness (well done Playford) PS Go Labour!!! *

* Actually, hold on a second. No, I really do not mean that - I'm voting Monster Raving Loony Party this year, because the rest of them all suck!!

- The "Say, didn't you used to be a really spawny tw*t? What the hell happened?" Award (congrats Jono777)

Speaking of Spawn.....

- Spawny Tw......oops, there's the doorbell ringing. Saved by the Dominos. Nom Nom.

(just in case anyone actually thinks I was being serious)

That's a bit much, isn't it?

I mean, not even lotusch would wish for BTG to go to the extreme of committing suicide, simply to avoid getting stale...

Or would he?!?!
