Hi Cary,
I'm uncertain whether or not your first statement was addressed to me or to the OPA. But if it is to me, perhaps I can clarify things from my end. The list of GSS casinos that appear in our "rogue" section are the casinos that are being boycotted by the OPA for substantial reasons. Plain and simple, GSS is not looking out for the industry as a whole by turning their back not only on players but on their licensees as well. The boycott is the OPA's prerogative and I support it 100%.
Personally, I would like to see it end. I met Mark Waters in London several weeks ago and gave him suggestions on how to eradicate this whole mess. My concern is for the industry. I know that there are many...many honest to God, honorable businesses and people out there that are struggling to keep good face in this industry that has started off on the wrong foot. My concern is and always has been for them and for their players. This GSS mess has just tarnished an already tarnished business, online gambling. Anyway, he appeared as though he would act on what I suggested, but since then...nothing. Why am I not surprised?
This section "casino complaints" is just that; people bitching about casinos and me stepping in to see if I can help. Sure, there are a lot of shitty casinos that are screwing their players that never get mentioned here. It's a big screwy world. But in the case of the casinos associated with GSS, many may be on the up and up, but it's the "association" that is bad. Like Steve said, the OPA is protecting the players "by letting them know." Knowledge is power.
I definitely believe that Casinomeister provides "honest, true and forthright
information on the online casino industry" more so than most any other online casino information site. Shoot me when it doesn't since this is and always has been my mission and function.
