Grand Prive Casinos Not Trustworthy Even Though Powered By Microgaming

June 2nd, 2009

Trust is the most important element to an online casino.  Online gambling has little else. So when a trust is broken it really doesn’t matter how you want to paint it, or what kind of fancy words you want to name it, once the faith is lost it doesn’t take long for the casino to close its doors permanently.

Recently a network of  online casinos chose to ignore contracts that were supposedly life long promises which the parties that were snubbed had done nothing to deserve such treatment. Casinos known to not honor their word to pay debts owed are Villa Fortuna, Grand Bay, Lake Palace, Bella Vegas, Jupiter Club, Fortune Club, Road House Reels, Grand Bay Poker and Jackpot Wheel.

Since the above casinos have now cheated every possible entity left to them besides the players … it is strongly advised you find greener pastures before they turn their attention to the only possible victims left. Quality online casinos offering Microgaming powered games can be found on this site.  

When we as gambling guides see a trust broken on such a huge scale we would not be doing our jobs to not warn players that play there at your own risk. I mean where does it get more blatant and on such a large scale of broken trust as this situation?

I said this in other forums and repeat here: as a gambler what I consider the most dangerous to me .. besides a site with rigged games .. is a casino that can’t be trusted to honor its word.

Reputable online casino

June 2nd, 2009

Reputable casinos online are found on this site.  The owners of this site have between them nearly 15 years in the listing of gambling casinos online and know the good from the bad. That is the reason you’ll find so few online casinos listed here.  We want your loyalty and are very picky about who we allow to advertise on this site.  Online casinos found advertised on this site are proven reputable and have many years of quality service behind them.  Further if you ever have a problem with any of the casinos you sign up to play by following links or banner ads from this site …… simply contact us to go over the heads of the customer service agent whom didn’t satisfy you and we will use the clout we have gained by representing thousands of players and get your issues heard by those who are severely interested in keeping players happy. That is what makes choosing an online casino from a portal such as this one so much more important than simply choosing one from a search engine such as google,  yahoo or msn. 

Online Casino Should Pay Progressive Winner In Timely Fashion

June 2nd, 2009

Some casino software providers include a progressive game that is contributed to by all the licensees in their network. Generally the way it works is that a third of the money goes to the provider, a third to the respective casino owner and a third is put directly into a jackpot which is the number you see ever-climbing, that will be paid out to whoever is lucky enough to hit the winning combination and of course have the maximum amount wagered.

There are some casinos who are not paying the entire amount of the progressive jackpot in a lump sum which is curious since by the time the money is into the jackpot the casino and the software provider have already taken their cut from the game. This means that there is no reason the money should not be paid out in lump sum. More curious is the payment schedule which often can be as little as a couple of thousand per week (or even month!).

 In theory, whatever entity is holding onto that money will earn a tidy sum over the time it would take to payout a few hundred thousand dollars, even if only earning a handful of percentage. Since this money has already been the gauntlet once then there’s no reasonable excuse for holding onto the money short of the casino wanting to do a double check on the player to make sure they are completely legitimate. Everyone knows that wouldn’t take the years that would be necessary to have passed in order to reach the full payout amount.

U.S. citizens take it on the chin the hardest in this matter. Most the online casinos guilty of having a maximum withdrawal limit are the ones that still cater to the USA. This is uncomfortably become an accepted cost of gambling on line by reputable gambling guides and casino portals.
