  1. It's cool... Everyone knows about Christmas Island, but that tiny country of Canada is probably just a myth anyway, no need to include it... ?
  2. Confirmed.. again... Hit the best bonus in the first 20 s[ins or so, then went well over 500 spins before seeing a couple more that were wicked awesome like this bad boy.. in fairness that last spin I think finally gave me like 0.018 or something just as sad.. but.. I step up a smidge from my last posting (first few spins of the night as referenced above) 165x and change
  3. The good news is you can still play microgaming slots at many other reputable, trusted and well run casinos, keep the part you liked, add more value on top and eliminate the negative. With that said though, I would suggest always making yourself very very familiar with both the terms and conditions and bonus terms found on any site you choose to play at, it's amazing how often wins are lost because a player failed to abide rule 872, paragraph 7, subsection c5.. and so therefore sadly can only blame themselves (or rather will be the only one held to blame) when the casino executes its right to void everything and close your account as you agreed to when you joined and it was written somewhere that joining, using, accessing the site and the games is accepted as your implicit consent to abide by each and every term of those two rambling sets of fine print regardless of how insane or predatory in nature they may be.. While I would never advise someone read the terms word by word before agreeing to install windows (though since no one in history ever did, we may all have already pledged our eternal life force to our master microsoft) too many have learned the hard way that a contract with an online casino should not only be read.. but completely understood before handing over your deposits or expecting to receive wins.
  4. Here here! Or perhaps HEAR HEAR! Well stated sir ?
  5. Once upon a time the downloadable microgaming casinos were all I played, I started there, had some success and figured better the devil I knew then to explore much further. After a couple years of steady play, despite being rather high up their vip chart I found that the bonuses and promotions I was being offered were no different than someone with zero history or vip ranking and felt a tad under appreciated, the nail in the coffin was being told that year.. 3 I believe there was nothing in the system for my birthday dispite having had decent bday bonuses previous years and not a damn thing under the Christmas tree for a long time regular player.. so I started looking at the alternatives and never looked back... imagine my surprise to discover that it wasn’t mandatory everywhere to have a 48hr reverse/pending period and then a couple more days of payment processing before one could hope to see their winnings.. That bonuses didn’t come standard everywhere with 50x bonus+deposit wagering terms, that such things as cashback, weekly loyalty rewards and zero wagering freespins existed... yet alone that I could have my winnings in hours or even minutes.. That there were countless other game providers that had more interesting games and play styles, hourly races, helpful support staff, goodwill bonuses... my mind was blown.. so many wasted wins that didn’t survive my impulse to reverse and play more 30 hours later.. so many missed rewards and loyalty bonuses for someone who played as much as I did.. and did I mention cashouts in a matter of minutes?? while I never had any trouble getting paid by the old school mg sites as I knew the terms and conditions inside out and backwards, I still seldom saw my winnings because of the insane reverse/pending period mixed with my penchant for immediate gratification.. so i still felt robbed ? many it it turned out were much like me and left in droves to greener pastures, but the mg sites did nothing to try to modernize.. I often refer to them as being on par with bell telephone or sears catalogue stores.. they owned the market for so long they felt no need to bother with silly things like worrying about customer satisfaction or preferences.. and along came eBay, Amazon, broadband telephone providers, low cost all inclusive cellular plans etc to seize the gift wrapped consumer base bell, sears et all didn’t value enough to understand or provide for, instead chuckling to themselves about the silly fads that dared to think they stood a chance against such deeply entrenched institutions such as them... In the same manner many fresh upstart casino brands had consistent, loyal, repeat customers happy to jump ship and rocket them to success for doing little more than just offering friendlier, faster service and not closing shop overnight and vanishing with the customers deposits... while microgaming itself pivoted well and used their established products and name brand to diversify and remain relevant.. the massive casino groups they built didn’t fare quite as well.. some would call that karma.. others capitalism.. long story short.. while some of the old names are still in operation after folding scores of their sister sisters and clientele under a single roof.. even if they were completely trustworthy and hadn’t suffered some serious self inflicted reputation tarnishing along the way.. they’d still be irrelevant, outdated and not worth your deposits... because their terms still suck, pending periods are still ridiculous, bonus conditions predatory and customer service.. shoddy at best. its unfortunate you had to learn through experience, but luckily there are great sources of information and player feedback available through sites like AG to make the next pick a little safer and better informed ? welcome to the community, cheers!
  6. When sow starts rearing it’s ugly head in Canada is when my depositing dollars will be directed towards those who don’t ask.. Brick and mortars don’t require me to lay out my personal and NDA obligated financial details I’ll be damned if I’ll start firing them off to any site overseas for any reason regardless of how “secure” they may claim to be or how strictly they promise to adhere to privacy regulations. I adhere to my privacy regulations much more strictly, I guarantee it ?
  7. I’ve been depositing exclusively with ecopayz for over a year now and haven’t run into any issues as of yet, with that said though I mainly tend to play at mt secure trade, L&l, everymatrix or Direx sites, never had the warm squishy sentiment that made me want to play with white hat, rtg or some of the other brands that make my spidey senses tingle..
  8. Thankfully most sites that exclude skrill and netteller from bonuses at this point don't have the same policy for ecopayz.. score one for the maple syrup suckers for a change.. of course I'd happily trade my ability to claim welcome bonuses with ecopayz for returned access to the ever growing list of providers/aggregators that are now excluding Canada from playing..
  9. I seldom to never take deposit bonuses, I don't like being tied to wagering.. even with the new UKGC separation of bonus and cash just as a general habit deposit bonuses hold very little appeal to me. Always happy to accept an NDB, free spins that are not tied to my deposit and carry their own wagering once played and decent cashback offers. While cashback is only of value if you're losing, if you're winning you don't really care about/need the bonus safety net/2nd chance hail mary. Free spins I almost never clear wagering, so it's more of just a little extra fun after I play out the deposit before hitting my next haunt or making another deposit. I've never been accused of bonus abuse, but that's likely very closely tied to my abysmally poor rate of profiting off of bonuses, but if I received that sort of notification I'd just smile, tip my hat, wave a fond farewell to the casino group with my nearest available, longest finger and make my deposits somewhere that I won't be punished for occassionally winning.. ?
  10. Thankya kindly, and just in time for a new review for the new month.. always taking such good care of our scrappy group of lovable misfits ?
  11. While better wording may be "while the welcome bonus is active" I've always read it and presumed that was the case, especially on direx sites where a bonus is either waiting to be activated, active or resolved either through completing wagering, losing the bonus, expiration or cancellation. So, in this case as I've always accepted the terms once the welcome bonus was added to the account, it became in play. jmho
  12. Great news! Now we can show you in multiple, detailed ways how you're losing! ?
  13. ok, now everyone pass some of that luck over my way.. ? Congrats btw ?
  14. I ran the RSS feed into https://t.me/Agrssfeed Just to keep myself from missing things, but you’re welcome to pop in if ou have telegram, or I can set the bot to feed to your room... or you can set up a bot to do it for you as well. The options are endless ?
  15. Just to jog your memory.. it was just like a jamming jars season... but in reverse..
  16. I tossed the RSS feed into a telegram channel.. now i see all ?
  17. Like being told the water will be off for an hour, you think "that's fine, it's only an hour" then as soon as it is off you're thirsty.. and need to boil something.. and really want a shower..
  18. Thank you to all who participated. Those who were interested, but missed the cutoff.. better luck next time. Thanks to BGaming for letting us divide the last 2 places amongst us. Cheers! Alright folks, move along.. nothing more to see here..
  19. Definitely a step into the modern age vs the 56k modem quality of the old site... now if we can just get it loading faster than the old 56k... ? I'll start the list. login'g stutter.. probably related to the lag. not receiving emails from posts in watched forums. randomly having posts await moderation...grr did I mention the lag? ?
  20. A glitch here or there, a mountain of lag, it's good exercise for the the royal code-keepers, keeps their skills fresh and ready to protect the kingdom from dragons and DDOS attacks.
  21. Did you just see that?? *points Know what that is? Looks to me like an opening for a couple more paid moderators.. say a couple of handsome type fellas who are always here anyway and can always use more funds in their e-wallets to further their research of the industry.. you know.. for professional purposes..
  22. That was the downfall of my takeover of the forums and declaring myself ruler for life.. the post is still awaiting moderation ?
  23. The microsoft method of software beta/bug testing. Release it on the unsuspecting population and patch as needed. On the bright side, we didn't have to buy the software ?
  24. hover over the forum link up top there's a "unread content" section
