Hi Mememo,

All Jackpots and Allslots are part of the Jackpot Factory group. They have a good reputation overall. Yes I do trust them, and I play there myself.

Hi Mememo,

Personally, fast hassle-free cashouts mean a whole lot more to me then bonuses.

I know for sure that when I make a cashout at iNetBet (http://www.inetbet.com/affiliates/aiddownload.asp?affid=353&redirect=http://www.inetbet.com/thegames/download.asp), I'll have the cash in my hands faster than with any other online casino. So iNetBet is number one in my book for RTG choices. I hardly ever use bonus coupons there. I'm happy with the monthly manager bonuses. And although I can sometimes have long dry spells, and not even come close to winning.. I have also had many good runs at iNetBet and have cashed out many times over the years. Regardless of how often I win, or how many bonuses I get... knowing that when I do win I'll get paid lightening fast, makes them my first choice.

Intertops (http://www.intertops.com/sportsbook/cgi-win-2/itrefer.exe?ispref=thehodge;redir=https://www.intertopscasino.com/registration.htm) is my first choice with Microgaming Casinos. Again, I know that when I win I'll be paid hassle-free and lightening fast. I don't care how many bonuses they give me, or how many they don't give me. I know they process payments daily and cashouts are lightening fast and easy. Deposits go through easy at Intertops, and there's more choices for U.S. players to withdraw.

Not long ago I cashed out at Casino Classic (http://www.CasinoClassic.com/referral.asp?aff_id=aff21655), part of the Casino Rewards (http://www.CasinoRewards.com/referral.asp?aff_id=aff21655) group. I cashed out via check for the first time. I was pleasantly surprised to received the check in 5 days after requesting the cashout. That's extremely fast for a check to arrive via regular post. Cashing the check was easy also.

I also have a very good experience with Grand Mondial (http://g3.grandmondial.com/en/href.g3?mi=1353&ai=10103) and CasinoShare (http://g3.casinoshare.com/href.g3?mi=1087&ai=Fa401374_aff__f2a06cb174bc484bae8cc0bb6624a04f) . I've cashed out a substantial amount from both casinos. Both times my cashout was processed within 24 hours and they were extremely professional and fast.

FYI, I hear that Bodog is not a great choice right now. They've recently had a substantial amount of money that was seized or frozen. I believe it was caused from doing their own processing. It seems Bodog has been extremely quiet about it all so far. I've heard that cashouts are not to be expected for at least 40 days after requesting one. That's enough to keep me far away from Bodog at the moment. I do think Bodog was a reputable place, but because of their current situation with processing transactions with U.S. players... they are not recommended.

You guys be aware of this shady outfit too http://www.connect2casino.com they used to be an RTG operation and was a rogue outfit then and CM still has them listed as :<TABLE class=featureTable4 cellSpacing=0 width="100%" border=0><TBODY><TR><TD>
ConnectToCasino (http://www.casinomeister.com/rogue/index.php)
</TD><TD>
RTG
</TD><TD>
Costa Rica
</TD><TD>
Unresponsive to player complaints
</TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>

but they must have just recently acquired a lease license from Rival which also surprises me that Rival would even consider this outfit and they are also still offering those enormous bonuses too from 600% to 2000% the same way they were doing when they were RTG !!

Also on their slots game page you will see where they say they are Connect 2 Casino is a site of APG Enterprises Inc. 2008

and then on their main page you will see where they say they are Connect2Casino is a site of Playsafe Holding AS. ©2008

The only Casino's I Trust are the ones I can Walk in to..They are real,I can touch them..And they are the only ones I put $$ into..When I win,they chase me all over the casino trying to get me too accept my winnings..

When I first started playing online years ago,they where good casinos,but as with all good things,they changed.I have been screwed out of more $$ by online casinos than I care to admit.

Yea mom, probably a blessing in disguise you know...:)

It appears that Grand Banks, Sterling House and Black Widow are no longer operating, at least the links posted do not lead to those casinos.

SciFi and Breakaway are now accepting US players again. They are sending out emails to get their US players to come back.

[abigail]

Thanks for this information. Very useful!

[soloist]

Thanks for this valuable information. As a newbie in this industry of online gambling joining forums such as reputable Hodgepodge gives pout alert to all people involved.

Once again thank you.

Well since Slot Madness is owned now by the same group that runs Planet7 SilverOak etc etc, shouldn't they be rogued now as well???

Hi dadof5,

Thanks for bringing this up. You have a good point, and you're correct about Slot Madness now having new owners. I can't tell you how disappointed I was when I received an email just a couple of weeks ago, informing me that Slot Madness was sold to the people that own Ace Revenue.

I really hate all these major changes the casinos have been pulling lately. From casinos merging, like Club World with All Star Slots, etc. And Jackpot Capital taking over Grande Vegas, etc. Now the Microgaming Casinos sending all their U.S. players to a U.S. version of their casinos, merging U.S. player account from several different MGS casinos into one U.S. version. It's confusing and wearing me out trying to figure out what's what right now.

As far as the point you brought up about Slot Madness now being owned/ran by Ace Revenue, I think you are right. Although I do have a very good contact at Ace Revenue, Riccardo. He's been in the online gambling industry for quite awhile now. Way before taking this job at Ace Revenue. And he does know what he's doing. Unfortunately he's not the owner, and can only do so much as far as changes I guess.

So.... I'm going to add Slot Madness to the Rogue list right now.

Please keep in mind that if anyone here, or anyone else you know has any problems with Slot Madness, or any Ace Revenue casino, we encourage you to bring the matter to the forum and we'll make sure Riccardo see's it. He is very responsive and I trust that he will take care of any issue fairly. No matter how decent of a person Riccardo is, or how helpful he is in resolving issues, it doesn't take away the "rogue" status.

I do think that in some cases, casinos can be rogue for whatever reasons, and later clean up their act. The Ace Revenue casinos used to be owned by Warren Cloud, who I completely hated. It's unfortunate that Warren had an untimely, early death. And it's unfortunate that when his casinos then were taken over by new owners, they were also rogue owners.

I am very upset as well about this, I used to play there often, but I won't deposit a dime there now.

It used to be my favorite casino, and I cannot believe they sold to a known rogue group. They could have just shut down.

Anyways, I agree with you about how these casinos are merging, and/or closing everyday. FreeSpin Casino threw in the towel recently as well.

I know times are tough right now, but it seems like they are grasping at straws here, and I don't think it's a good move on their part.

Keep in mind that these are businesses. Lots of money is invested in opening any online casino. And to then operate it for some time as they did, marketing it, and building up a good reputation and a depositing player base, why in the world would any business just shut it down and lose all the money invested when they could sell it to another casino operator? I was trying to think of some kind of reason that would make a casino owner who's selling their business to care about the buying operator's repuation. I couldn't think of any reasons. Again, it's a business. And if they're getting out of the business, then I assume they'd just be looking for an interested buyer with the financial ability to close the deal.

I know times are tough right now, but it seems like they are grasping at straws here, and I don't think it's a good move on their part.

Times are tough right now. I'm not sure what you mean about grasping at straws though.

I think some of these changes with the casinos right now are due to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA) which went into affect June 1st, 2010. That's definitely caused a big problem for U.S. players in finding a casino that their deposits will go through. It's also the reason Microgaming just completely pulled out of the U.S. and transferred all of their U.S. players to a new provider.

The UIGEA might have something to do with some of the other casino sales and merges (Slot Madness, Grande Vegas, etc). Maybe some of them got scared, and didn't want to continue in this business accepting U.S. players once that law came into affect. And maybe they knew they couldn't afford to stay in business without U.S. players. I don't know, just speculating.

The economy definitely is making things tough for everyone, players, casinos, and the world in general.

I am going to have a long talk with Riccardo and see if I can get more information on what will change now that Slot Madness has been sold to them. I assume the support and terms will change to be like the other Ace Revenue casinos. But again, only speculating. Maybe he will come post here himself, and explain things.
