Just a few things that have begun to annoy me over the years:
1. Ridiculous reverse withdrawal time-scales (or, if I'm honest, the ability to RW at all)
Much as most operators will say it's a "service" or a "benefit" to be able to RW funds, I can see no other reason for it than to entice a certain type of punter into playing (and losing) their winnings.
Firms that offer it until the end of the current day (such as William Hill) aren't too bad as this doesn't delay the withdrawal but a 3 or 4 day reverse period is a joke and reflects very badly on the specific operator imho.
2. When you open a new slot and the stake is defaulted to max
WHY?
Who plays £250 a spin?
Surely this is only there to catch players out. Read a few horror stories on here about players accidentally playing a grand off in four spins (or similar) albeit with one instance where the money was refunded.
This "setting" can only be there to benefit the casino. All slots should default to min stake when first opened and last stake thereafter as standard. I can't think of a single reason why this shouldn't be mandatory.
3. The little "Deposit Now" box that pops up on certain sites when your balance is < £1
This really only applies to weak-willed players (like myself ) but it does encourage loss chasing and that can't be good. Another "feature" that I think should be banned.
4. Casinos only asking for identification if you win
The main (initial) requirement for I.D is there to ensure that players are of legal age. The amount of casinos I've used for the first time where they let you freely deposit and play without a sniff of asking for the relevant I.D is silly. Only when (if) you win do you get the email stating their I.D requirements. Rarely an email if you lose.
I believe that the facility to upload I.D documents should be included on the sign up page of all casinos.
Just a few thoughts. I'd be interested to hear if people agree and if they can add any more.
