Casinos do not seem to care.. Look again at 32red as an example there..
I guess the directors and owners look at the amount of extra income from lack of self control (which must be huge, I dread to think)
I wish there were some figures out there..
Meanwhile they line their pockets
I deposited £50 here a few days ago and just couldn't stop winning. I've made a withdrawal of £1000 yesterday, but gotta wait the pending period out.
Brief review of the site:
Pros
The games all load perfectly, I've had no crashes or lag whatsoever (or funny balance activity, which is the norm for NetEnt lately). The site is really nice and well laid out, easy to find your way around. The amount of bonuses are near mind-boggling, and given I was betting £2 and £2.50 a spin, and the bonuses are "earned" though wagering, I quickly got up to level 35 and have countless bonuses to choose from now; free spins, free money, deposit match bonuses.
If you are the kind of player who likes bonuses, SpinGenie is definitely the site for you.
Cons
Serious lack of games to choose from. I'm honestly bored out of my mind with Starburst, TwinSpin, JATB etc. There's no CFTBL, Dead or Alive, Reel Steal, Excalibur (and countless others). The withdrawal process is daft; a 48-hour pending period is bad enough, but to not actually remove the withdrawal from my balance and then tell me I'm free to play on is just... stupid. I'm warned that if I play below my requested withdrawal amount, then said withdrawal will be cancelled.
This also means I can't take any of the host of bonuses that I've earned. Because if I do, I'll need to wager basically my entire balance (thus cancelling my withdrawal) just to complete the WR for whatever bonus I take. Why not remove the withdrawal from my balance and place it in a separate pending place? I don't get it, and I've never seen that at any casino I've ever played at.
Verdict: It's a good casino, but you're doing it wrong. 5/10
Little update
Paul from SpinGenie (and here) just personally phoned me there now to talk about the feedback I've given.
Was actually very respectful and understanding regarding the cons I've listed. They've only been going since September which is why there is a lack of games, and more will be added in time (as well as potentially developing their own games - interesting).
He also agreed that the withdrawal process is perhaps not the best system and will be looking into it, so that's good.
I was also offered a bonus added to my account for taking the time to speak to him. I refused the bonus of course but it's still very nice to be offered.
All in all a nice phone call, which I certainly wasn't expecting. It's good to actually get to give feedback 1-to-1 with a casino, instead of emailing back and forth to incompetent CS Reps who only ever reply with copy & paste nonsense.
Thanks Paul
Deserve at least a 6.5/10 now for such good Customer Care
(the games and withdrawals are still a sticking point for me, for now)
Hi Valhalla,
Thanks for the valued feedback and for the chat earlier.
As discussed, we've only been going for a few months now so it's early days for us and we'll look to add more games soon.
Regarding the withdrawals process. As mentioned, you make some good points and I've provided your feedback to our Product teams as we are constantly reviewing our processes - thank you for your time and feedback.
Have a great day.

Many thanks for the kind words- we'll try and get to 7/10 with you soon
No, Unsure if the rep marked my account as ok, Well till you get to a certain withdraw amount than most will than ask, I can count on one hand how may times I have been ask for I.D in ten years, But as in U.K than I guess they can do some easy checks if need be, Worth go, Not a great deal of slots to chose from but every thing is hassle free, No error's / lags & any bonus is instantly credited,
Also an active rep here so puts you on ease abit knowing you are in safe hands, I do not really give much credit to casinos but I think this one is worth it,
One thing if they start changing wager requirements ect and start adding games only to get aload of errors than I eat my words.
I do not no how the whole operations work but I no gaming realms have castlejackpot that runs from the IPS network, & all there sites is constant errors, I have a funny feeling that CJ does do things different from the rest of the group as when I get messages from the sites I have signed up to from IPS than they all come at once to all the sites Im signed up to from them but nether one from castlejp? But even that group has now changed there wager from 25x to 35x wager, I have not played castlejp in a while due to they changed the Friday 100% bonus to 50%
I see the advert on TV early hours in this morning, Must say its one of the better adds for casinos I have seen,
£1,200 withdrawal from SpinGenie was in my account yesterday. I withdrew on Friday night so that's only 1 day when you take away the weekend.
That's extremely fast, well done chaps
I spoke with Paul today, very helpful and definitely 9/10 at least. Its just a pity that other casino's dont seem to value the interaction with customers. This is a big plus for Spingenie in my book.
Appreciate the comments, many thanks
The only reason I haven't made any more deposits yet is the lack of game choice.
The site is very nice and the CS is great, there's just nothing at SpinGenie that I can't find at, for example, BetSpin or Slotty Vegas. But both of those establishments offer practically instant withdrawals, which is a big draw. As well as Supercharged winnings at Slotty, and wagering-free free spins at BetSpin.
Certainly won't close my account, and will return to play properly. Just not right now. On the back burner though
The sites running slow and also the first game I went on to was errors, I say this as I made a small deposit of 10 and got 5 bonus and was just about to run out of juice than got a 45 win,
which I most great full of as keep me playing, I have has 53 quid of deposits today across sites, and £10 comp and a £50 win from a torney,
Out of all that playing max 30p spin except from the win I just got which is min 50p than I only had one bonus round on piggy riches for a £6 win, Unbelievable and was down to my last few squids before the 45 drooped in, Is my luck changing? You bet its NOT but abit of extra play

Thanks Spintee,
That specific error would be displayed by the slot provider themselves, rather than our own platform, but I've passed it on to our techies for their info and comments.
Hope your luck changes soon
