Prestige Casino?

[H1_Roller]

My brother is talking to me here about a casino he's joined recently; "Prestige Casino".

He recently 'won' with one of those "£750 to spend in 60 mins and keep your winnings" promotions (he finished 'up' £650). He now has a 10x WR with his winning before they are withdrawable; AFTER he has provided docs.
He has also been offered a 500% deposit match bonus by them and mentioned it to me.

Now I don't know about you but these kind of promotions ring all sorts of alarm bells with me. Huge deposit bonuses normally mean only one thing

Perhaps I'm wrong though, so could you offer some advice on this casino so I can relay it to my brother?

Thankies

My security software (Trend Micro Titanium) blocked that site you linked me to, labeling it "Dangerous".

I am linking you to a "prestige casino". I dont know if its the one your brother is playing at. Its a perfectly safe link as far as I can tell, your security software is giving a false positive.

I don't use bonuses myself, but I don't agree with the 500% match offer (if it's correct). Though the 60 mins free play offer seems a fair deal compared to say similar offers from Microgaming casinos like PlatinumPlay for instance has a 30x WR in comparison with the 10x of Prestige casino (Playtech) ;

"PlatinumPlay 1500 Free Bets - No deposit required - Keep your winnings

The Platinum Play 1500 Free Bets offer is applicable to first time Real players at Platinum Play Online Casino.
On registration of a Real account, players will be eligible to log in to a 1500 Free Bets account which will be allocated with £1500 free credits.
In order to transfer any winnings you need to play through the initial £1500 credits at least once.
Provided that the £1500 has been played through at least once in full, any balance over and above the original £1500 will be considered winnings up to a maximum of £100.
The initial £1500 cannot be transferred from the Free Play account.
A minimum deposit of £20 must be made in the player's Real account before winnings from the €1500 Free Bets account can be transferred to the Bonus balance of your real account.

All winnings transferred to a Real account will be subject to standard play-through requirements (30x WR)."

In other words it's free play bonus money to try and win some free bonus money.

It is definitely the one my brother is currently playing at. I'll let him know that Prestige is safe
Yeah my security is really rather strict; it will often attempt to block updates from (100% trustworthy) MG casinos, labeling them 'suspicious' (although I can override these at the time).
I just stick with it though because I've never had any viruses, Trojans, or anything else malicious since I started using it. It kinda works a little too well...

Just treble check that WHG International is William Hill before you do. I am sure it is but have to make ABSOLUTELY sure! I dont want your brother getting into a bad casino thats my fault tho you see lol. I am pretty much 99.8% sure its trustworthy tho.

And yeah, too strict is way better than too lax, you are taking the sensible option there.

They used to be a dodgy casino, but they were one of a bunch bought up by William Hill awhile back. As far as the bonuses go, check WR before taking one - I seem to recall reading that it was like 90X WR or something ridiculous like that, although maybe it's changed by now.

In general Prestige is fine. WHG are credible - just a bit slow on reverse/cashout stuff. Lots of bonuses - makes cashing out harder but you can opt out. A typical Israeli-operated Playtech really but perfectly safe to play. I tested them, cashed out, got ID'ed, all that stuff and went without a hitch. If you play with bonuses and have some self-control (48hr reverse) then it's as good as any. If you don't play with bonuses then there are better options.

Thanks chayton and Simmo!

My brother does indeed play with bonuses. He's not playing to win (no, seriously), he would happily deposit £50, get a match bonus and sit low-rolling for weeks.
I just wondered/worried if Prestige might be rip-off merchants or something as they aren't accredited

They were accredited ages ago, but fell off the radar after being sold a couple of times. Like Simmo mentioned, they are legit - most Playtechs are, but they would not be able to meet the standards of an accredited casino due to this:

When receiving any Withdrawal higher than $9,000, an amount of $9,000 (or the corresponding amount in the currency of payment) will be paid to you once a month, upon your Withdrawal request, until the full amount of your Withdrawal is paid. This also applies to Withdrawals of progressive jackpots.

Absolutely ridiculous. I'm really quite surprised that this term is still there. I was told by William Hill a couple of years ago that this term was being removed (after the Joyland progressive fiasco of 2008). Looks like it's been put back up.

This is what I get when I try to open that link:

Wow! "scams or fraud" - maybe it's payback from their Cpays days

(Cpays used to promote their brands via blackhat SEO back in the day)

 

[H1_Roller]

It's kind of annoying as it happens so often with sites I'm almost completely sure are safe.
But as I said, I've never had anything bad happen since getting Trend Micro.

If your security is set really high with TM then it might just be giving you the warning because of cookies. I had one malware scanner that saw all cookies as some sort of threat, it finally annoyed me so much I uninstalled.

Nothing wrong with Prestige Casino. I would say brilliant casino.
I started playing there like 6-7 years ago.
Had a nice 2000$ win on a 50 cent spin on a 1 line slot got my withdrawal within the stated 3-4 days at that time.

Not played so much last years because I have no patience for waiting this long anymore since using moneybookers.

But must say it was good old days many years ago. I used to get all winnings I had on a check hehe.

Also by the way had nice email from them last week! Which stated that they had put something nice in my account, with no strings attached..... hmmm no string attached?? Yes indeed I checked my account and there was 18$ , I could withdraw if I wanted, no playtrough or anything.
Very nice gesture of them, Not something you see often :notworthy
