[Realitybitez]

I just received an email from them...

Which sounds pretty good but I'd like to do a little digging on this casino first Have browsed the old threads/posts in this forum.. but as stated old

Would like some more up to date and current feedback if anyone has any

Thanking you in advance

This is one that was bad, but it was bought by William Hill. As far as I know, they have a 4 day pending period before processing withdrawals - also they have a $9K per month max payout policy - that's not supposed to apply to progressive wins, but they tried to do it to Ray after winning a progressive awhile back, so you might want to check their terms.

Also I seem to recall that WH casinos won't talk to 'third parties' anymore so if there's an issue you might be on your own - I might be mistaken about that though.

EDIT: They still have

While there is NO LIMIT to the amount a Player can cash out from the casino, there is a maximum amount that can be withdrawn at one time. 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.

Which IMO is very shady since the progressive is paid by Playtech in full to the casino.

To be honest, I'd be very happy to get $9000 a month I presume though that if I take up their bonus offer of $20 for $120 that I probably wont be allowed to play on the jackpot slots.

Guess what Im really checking out, is if I put in my credit cards details (paranoid person that I am) that they are getting it and wouldnt take out more and that if I did manage to crack their wagering (probably unlikely - but will be great fun trying) that I would actually be paid.

but thanks heaps for the information Chayton

They are part of WH and pretty reputable. Play-thru at Sky Kings is only x10 (B+D) - lower then other WH casinos (please double check as i did not play with them recently - cant hit nothing on Playtech).
Pending period is 4 days but then they pay promptly.

Yes, that is shady. I see on their website that they have 20 different jackpot games worth about £3,7 mill in total. To pay out a 1 mill jackpot will take about 10-15 years depending on currency. Completely unacceptable.

The 4 days pending is also unacceptable in my opinion. This is unfortunately something we see in many Playtech based casinos, especially smaller ones.

I would suggest to stick with some of the larger Sportsbooks listed on the accredited list!

You say that now, but imagine if you won the Beach Life jackpot - right now it's about $805,000 - would you rather get it all at once or wait 7 and a half years? If the casino doesn't go belly up in the meantime, that is.

I'm not saying it's not ok to play there, I have accounts at a few of the WH casinos - just know what their policies are before playing there. Don't win more than $9K/month, and don't reverse your withdrawals!!!
