Alright... Let me explain then... I guess the reason why Sharon put that particular part of her post in italics is something she might brag about but that's on her. Re the 'power' matter... Well, let me put it that way then... Sharon was given an ''extra pack of power'' recently so to speak, but again, I'll leave to her to decide if, when, where and how to share that news with you. And while our beloved Sharon a.k.a. cocopop is growing on ''powers'', it's still that old fella a.k.a. Guru/ValDes/etc who's holding the key from the 'nuclear suitcase'.

Now you hurt my gentle soul... deeply... And we were discussing with Sharon yesterday whether you deserve to be granted a special access to our paid contests despite being from a restricted country... But after that 'statement' of yours...

Mega slot wins - oh yes, it's possible!
ValDes replied to ValDes's topic in Share your Winner Screenshots
This one is a special one for Afi, cause he's the main reason why I played this slot at all. Must add this was my first ever free spins feature, so I guess that makes it even more valuable. Afi-san, are there any other Gamomat slots you are willing to recommend to a gambling comrade?- 3526 replies

Slot of the Week (Updated Every Monday ) - Let's Talk

Virgin.... Megaways... Casino.... Slots.... You sure you're not in the middle of negotiating some mega insane, ''exclusive'' deal from Pornhub? Sorry, just couldn't resist! -
Applying such kind of an age-related restriction (except for minors of course) it's not only ridiculous, it's 100% discrimination and shouldn't be encouraged at all! Something more, looking at this from a marketing perspective, it's pretty much shooting yourself in the leg cause it's no brainer to realize that most people above that age are close to or already being retired and from what I know and read in countless gambling market researches over the years, these people are often identified and falling into the group of most desired casino customer dues to a/ having enough money to play (and lose); b/ having enough time to spin (and lose) and c/ having less than the average specific gambling knowledge and experience which might help then reduce the losses amassed from point a/ and b/

Interesting subject indeed so please let me share my two cents... 1. I'm the last one here to defend Operators when it comes to KYC problems considering A/ I had my own fair share of completely unnecessary troubles connected with KYC over the years (100% of these solved in my favor btw) and B/ had the chance to read and discuss countless amount of AGCCS cases where KYC was obviously used as a tool by Operators (including some holding UKGC license) to delay payments and/ore create unjustified obstacles in front of players, BUT, and that's a big BUT... You should join the AskGamblers Complaint Team, not even for a month but for a week only, and see yourselves the insane amount of KYC related fraud which is committed by players! Every time my colleagues decide they've seen it all, there's some new KYC related AGCCS case where we see player going way way beyond wildest imagination in inventing new methods of cheating the KYC procedure by 100% intentional fraudulent actions. Obviously, and logically of course, the Operators have no other choice but to follow through and try to use/implement some 'imagination' within their own KYC process. Some Operators thou, including reputable and well known ones, obviously overdosed the use of 'imagination' and created a set of some ridiculous (won't use stronger word) requirements towards the verification paperwork which could be easily classified not just as unfair, but also as deeply contravening with some of the GDPR basic postulates. Unfortunately, as @pinnit2015 correctly mentioned, it's only the UKGC which despite the many controversial actions in this respect over the years, is now at least clearly demonstrating some will to change the whole KYC process towards more fairness, speed and above all, transparency. And that must be duly praised and acclaimed. 2/ Let's not forget that It's absolutely impossible to unify the KYC procedure towards ALL customer of the relevant Operator unless that Operator is accepting players from certain country only. When it comes to a simple KYC operation conducted by the relevant Fraud Team, it's one thing to verify a player from the UK and totally different to verify a player from Ukraine or Serbia for example. It's not just the historical stats of potential fraud rates and so on, but we talk about a completely incomparable rates of the relevant country's digitalization of different public records, systems, etc. 3/ IMHO, the future of the modern gambling related KYC process won't be that much connected with the regulatory authorities but with dedicated and most probably, private companies which are specialized in conducting identification & verification processes at large scales. Let's face it, creating and maintaining your own Fraud team is an expensive task, actually very expensive and most Operators have to outsource that task to their platform provider usually. The platform provider on the other hand is certainly not that interested in performing the KYC process asap cause they will be paid anyway. Which leads to all these delays and miscommunication which we all witnessed countless amount of times. That's why I believe the future belongs to these KYC-specialized, private companies which will most probably have some license by the relevant regulatory body to conduct this type of operations on behalf the casinos licensed by that regulator and which will do the job faster, better and above all, cheaper than it costs now. Of course, all the above is related with the current online gambling regulatory framework, which btw is changing as we speak. Looking at what's happening in France, Spain, Italy, Germany, etc, I'm not a big optimist that the KYC process will get any better any time soon tbh.

Ouch, really sorry to hear that mate. In the name of all fairness, you'd better leave a review under their welcome bonus review page here on AG and let the other players know about this ridiculous practice and what to expect from the 100 free spins.

Slot of the Week (Updated Every Monday ) - Let's Talk
ValDes replied to cocopop3011's topic in Online Slot Discussions
Fantastic idea! Love it! Thanks Sharon! Unlike our beloved Afi-san, I'm still a fan of the megaways slots, especially the IronDogStudios ones which are getting most of my playing time recently. When it comes to those released from iSoftBet thou... totally agree with Fiekie-san, definitely money eaters most of the time with ultra rare decent hits and not a single one I've seen so far which deserves even to be compared with the gigantic wins produced by some of the other megaways powered slots by other gaming providers. -
Should be some country-based restriction cause Skrill is definitely available when it comes to withdrawals.

Hello there @uMWin and welcome to the AskGamblers Forum. Sorry for the late response, been on vacation during the last week... As far as I know, yes, the Operator is allowed to share their players info with the relevant software/gaming/WL/etc provider/s and as advised by @pinnit2015, you can easily check that by looking at the Operator's privacy policy. When it comes to sharing info cross Operators via the relevant WL provider, I'm afraid it's the relevant regulatory body which granted the license who's really capable and authorized to provide adequate response on the matter. IMHO, this shouldn't be allowed BUT privacy matters have never been my strongest side so you'd better forward the matter to the regulatory body and wait for their response. Good luck and please, keep us posted cause that's really interesting situation.

Sorry for jumping so late... Two things about LB casinos in Bulgaria: a/ the only 'dress-code' allowed depends on how deep is your pocket, no one and I mean really no one cares about your dress code IF you enter the premise with enough money, even if you are half naked...or completely naked; b/ back in the late 90s, used to 'fund' probably half of my student related cost by playing the LB slot machines, just got 'connected' with one of the girls who was assisting players and was always aware which of the machines was in 'eating mode' and which is ready to 'drop' depending on the programmed 'regime to compensate'... All in all, great great days!

Technical issues on certain game providers SUDDENLY
ValDes replied to angel71's topic in Casinos General
Hi there @angel71 and welcome to the AskGamblers Forum Like already mentioned in the previous responses, NetEnt as well as a bunch of other famous gambling providers were/are still banned across Canada. Which means that your issue is most probably referring to the relevant ISP. Maybe some of them are not applying the restriction policy towards certain domains (as requested by the Canadian authorities) while other are acting strictly in accordance with the rules and regulations.
