They have to meet the standards of the best gambling forum in the world.



Accredited Online Casinos at Casinomeister These online casinos endorsed by Casinomeister have met the following standards and therefore are deemed "accredited".

How the choice is made: I will meet face to face with the persons managing the casino before it's listed on this site to ensure that the following criteria and standards are agreed upon.

* They must be able to take care of any player issue swiftly and professionally
* They must adhere to their own Terms and Conditions.
* They must only use seals, banners, logos, etc. to which they are entitled.
* They must have no affiliation with "fake" players' advocacy groups.
* They must be willing to divulge information about their business.
* They must have a clean history of fairness towards their customers.
* They must not use spam as a marketing tool.
* They must not accept bets from jurisdictions where it is considered unlawful.
* They must be licensed in a jurisdiction that offers gambling licenses.*

Although we all love the forum, Casinomeister is a business, just like any other affiliate site. All links here have affiliate tags in them, so the site gets a percentage out of players losses/rake or a prize per each player aquired. I do not know why Pokerstars is not listed. I know that Pokerstars does not pay a lot to their affiliates.

It is true that Pokerstars is a reliable site, and based on their history within the online gaming business there is no reason why Casinomeister would not promote them.

From my experiences playing there and promoting them Pokerstars is a top notch site , every other poker room and casino should take an example from them ,

If pokerstars was not the best they wouldnt have over 100,000 players online at peak times .

Pokerstars , weather player cashouts to me or affiliate payments , no on is faster .

Pokerstars even give all players and affiliates a free debit card , which you can cash out to and if need be refill with your checking or credit card .

Payments always come within 24hours , and support questions are always answered.

I cant understand either why pokerroom would be accredited and not pokerstars , everyone remembers what happened with the pr tournament , and on top of that for the past 6 months pokerroom has been sending US affiliates uncashable checks .

Just some of my thoughts , Maybe the accredited list just needs to be updated

I have to agree that Poker Stars is an A+ top notch poker room and deserves recognition for this. Maybe Bryan can meet with them one day to discuss being listed here. I have never seen a serious problem with Stars in the forums but have seen tons of compliments like this thread.

Pokerstars is so big i am sure they dont feel the need to be accredited here.

Pokerstars has a solid rep!
I am sure this has been asked before.
Personally it couldnt hurt either cause (pokerstars or casinomeisters) so I do not see why they are not accredited.

More good press can never hurt though. I also hear Stars has a more generous affiliate program then they use to do.

thanx for the responses. if it is strictly a business issue, they should still be listed. a personal thing? well that would be between bryan and them. let us not forget this is bryans site. with all the b.s. going on though reliable places should be acknowledged. people still come here for reliable advice. i send many people to this site and i have been asked about pokerstars many times. i dont have the answer so that is why i posted the thread.

brian has already answered this in a similar thread i posted a few months ago. And you can look back at that if you want to see brians response. Ostensibly there has not been a F2F meeting yet. They are by far the best run site on the net even if you forget the whole dominance they have of the online poker industry
