Casino of the Decade - for me it's 32Red.<br />
<br />
They may no longer be the great award gathering force that they once were.<br />
And yes, they have made some "business decisions" that many of us would deem to be "not cool".<br />
<br />
BUT....<br />
<br />
I cannot pretend to forget all the good that they have done over the years. Things like...<br />
<br />
The Slotmeister promotion (which ran for what....10 years?).<br />
I was late to that particular party as I only joined CM/signed up at 32Red in late 2013.<br />
But I can say this much.....I had a TONNE of fun taking part in that.<br />
<br />
There was also the various freeroll tournaments they ran (Daily Avalon, Fortnightly Freerolls, World Cup 2014 among others). Again, great enjoyment was had from those.<br />
<br />
Then there was the Dish of The Day/Christmas promos (when I was able to take them, I must confess that the day I got bonus banned at 32Red was a sad day for me).<br />
Again, they helped me have many an enjoyable session.<br />
<br />
I was with 32Red as a regular for only 2 years, but what a 2 years it was.<br />
Without doubt, some of the absolute best time that I've ever had playing online slots.<br />
<br />
Then you have the rep, Mark, who has now clocked up 11 and a half years (?) here at CM.<br />
I'd say that's pretty noteworthy, given that we here at CM can be a pretty tough and (dare I say it) a sometimes unforgiving crowd that can be...cough.... "a tad hard to please".<br />
<br />
Not only that, he's had to put up with a lot of criticism of the brand (some of it warranted, some of it most definitely NOT warranted) and a lack of gratitude (again, some of it totally unwarranted) from some of the membership here.<br />
And yet...he has ALWAYS handled that "uglier side of the job" with CLASS, like a true professional.<br />
To do what he has done for so many years deserves some credit and respect.<br />
I know this much...if I tried to do a rep's job, I'd probably jack it in after 3 months, maybe less.<br />
It takes a special type of individual to do that job well. And I'm not it.<br />
<br />
In fact, I'd even go as far as to perhaps suggesting that there should be a separate category<br />
for the Forum Member Achievement Award....a "reps only" category.<br />
And make Mark the first rep to receive that honour.<br />
<br />
And then finally the casino itself. It ticks a few important boxes...<br />
<br />
CM Accredited for the entire decade - CHECK<br />
Multiple winner of Best Casino Award (4 years running from 2010-2013) - CHECK<br />
A still healthy AKA "not too shabby" CM rating (currently 8.8) - CHECK<br />
HIGHEST AVAILABLE RTP SETTINGS ON ALL OF THEIR GAMES - CHECK!!<br />
No utterly ridiculous OTT SOW requests - CHECK<br />
A hassle-free, stress-free experience when cashing out - CHECK<br />
<br />
Yes, the pending period is a bit of a drag, I won't deny it. But for me personally, as someone who refuses to reverse on principle alone, I can tolerate that.<br />
It didn't put me off playing at 32 Red back then, and it doesn't put me off playing at Casino Rewards now.<br />
And it won't put me off from making a return to 32Red in the future.<br />
<br />
So yeah.....32Red for me all the way. Despite me hardly ever playing there for the past 4 years.
