True, UK players have the luxury to play pretty much any software they wish with 100s of regulated casinos so rival casinos shouldn't even be on their list.
The thing is, Rival offer something DIFFERENT to the other softwares.
On the vast majority of their slots, features are FAR more easy to hit than other softwares. Of course, this means that massive hits are rare, but decent wins of x50 or more are fairly common.
Not everyone's cup of tea, but I personally prefer low variance games like theirs.
I've played at nearly every Rival casino there ever was, and I have never not been paid my withdrawals. However, most were many years ago and certainly the landscape is a bit different today, in that there ARE some rogue operators out there who should be avoided at all costs.
For old time's sake I've dug out 5 of my best Rival hits; these were all in real money play, but the ones where I have $1,000's in my balance were with some of those crazy 10,000% (or whatever) bonuses some of them dish out.
The Baby Boomer's Jackpot was not though - that was a $200 deposit with a $250 phantom bonus, which ended up being a $2,550 cash-out!

Bye-bye Rival
(Hopefully I will still be able to play when on holiday outside the UK
