Any casino or provider who reverts their games back to the good old days ways would definitely have me in too! Would that ever be possible? Most probably not! There are way too many indifferent/uncaring/ignorant/impulsive players with lots of money in hand, all too willing to gamble away their money irresponsibly, mostly incorrigible to turn back to the right path, and all too willing in following the piped-piper (streamers)!

Sorry Wolf, but there is one person who has missed out on Season 3 and 4, and now Season 5...ME!!! Why? Simply not interested in Pragmatic games anymore!

Yesterday, I played Supe It Up in the fun mode...now with 25 fixed lines, no more autoplay/autospins function, so it was one slow spin at a time...and I almost got bored a few minutes into my former number 1 favourite game!!! Can you imagine that? All games are simply becoming so BORING!!!

These last few days I've been giving my fav Playtech games some spins...and they all suck like hhell! I think I'm up to 90% to quitting by now!

That's good to hear JaedenHim, but why go through all that torture in the first place? Wouldn't it be more comfortable and less stressful playing at another casino? Unless you have not many other choices that is.

A big congrats Guru-san...almost 5 of 100x Multiplier Wilds on a winning payline...WOW!!! Looks like PlaynGo is your favourite provider nowadays, eh Guru-san. It's my favourite too, but I can't play it at my local casino...sigh!

No matter what any legend may say, no matter what other people may say, winning on a losing machine is purely on each individual luck!!! I myself have tried this donkey years ago, at land-based arcades and casino, and believe me, it never worked for me!

Let me be very honest here Niran, I think none of us members here are qualified enough to determine whether the calculations should be based on net wins or gross wins, but by all standards of practice, what matters most is the actual NET LOSS. With slots, I am quite sure that it would be based on gross wins, simply because each winning amount would be shown on screen as the 'bet amount x the win value of the winning combination'. This is not how wins are shown in table games, so I cannot determine which should be which. It may even involve a slightly different formula in calculating the net loss, but then yet again, I am in no position to determine this. I think it is best to leave this to the right people (ADR) to resolve the issue for you Niran.

From what I know, certain casinos require constant activity of the account in order to remain/maintain the VIP status...lack of activity may dissolve the VIP status and put the player back at the bottom, back to being a normal member. My regular Asian-based casino require a certain amount of deposits to be made monthly, or within a 3-months period, otherwise the VIP status would be lost...yeah, I lost my status some time back, so I never bothered to chase for VIP status ever again!

Hmmm...thanks...but no thanks mate.

To add salt to the wound, streamers are actually doing a huge favour for the casino that they are playing at. Players may think it's a good casino to play at, but not knowing that those streamers do not play on the same ground as normal players...streamers have an unfair advantage, in one way or another! They make everyone think that such huge wins are indeed possible, but when playing with real money, it'd only go the opposite way! I really hate watching those streamers, especially how they are disillusioning other players!

If it's a soccer game, too bad, I'm not into soccer games, although I have played such games before on Play Station and desktop.

If a game requires real money to play it (for purchases), then real money must be paid for selling it, then it becomes fair. I have heard that some games do allow players to sell what they have for real money gains, so that is okay, but when a strategy game requires real money just to proceed into the game, then that's pure ROBBERY!

Good idea mate...but better still, why not ask for 2 answers instead...Most Liked and Most Hated games provider...then we can get a good overall picture of these providers.

Just the other day, I downloaded an online game (free software) and started playing it. A few minutes later, I was required to buy 'gems' in order to proceed further into the game. Non-purchase puts the game into hang mode, so I simply quit the game and completely uninstalled it. Free games are needing players to buy things with real money just to continue on playing??? Absolutely rubbish!!! These types of games should be BANNED!!!

Just goes to show that the best games to play nowadays are STILL THE OLDIE GAMES! Simply because they have very good to excellent paytables which cannot be changed, although the wins are being controlled and manipulated by new programs.

I'm with you on this one RazorX mate! I too have been saying lots of times here in this forum on how slots have changed from their old flash versions, into the HTML5 versions, and now, into AI-controlled versions! Proof? Take my few favourite games from Playtech as a good example. I have been playing these same few games even BEFORE the internet was born! Have done millions of spins on each of them, and I have experienced all the variances of how each game would and could play. This year, in 2020, the same games are showing even more variances in their gameplay, so much so that getting wins of over 500x is becoming so rare! The feature games (free spins) are taking more than double the amount of spins required, but more importantly, are paying in SMALLER WINS!!! I have reached a point now that I am slowly but surely decreasing my plays on my few favourite games, intending to quit playing them very soon. They are simply not worth playing any more! The RTPs have not changed...they are still having the same RTPs as before, but they certainly are giving out many more dead spins and decreasing the regularities of their feature games! My favourite Supe It Up and Isis game (Microgaming) too have just been updated and no longer have selective playlines as before...both now have fixed 25 playlines....and with that, I now have lost interest in playing them. I'm still playing my few Playtech games simply because I can still choose the number of playlines. When this disappears, if and when it does, then I would quit playing them as well! I don't really know when I would stop completely playing my few favourite games, but the COUNTDOWN has already started!

I had the very same problem at Cadoola Casino about 3 or 4 years ago...they accused me of having a duplicate account (it was a newly launched casino at that point in time) and I was 100% sure that they were using false accusations. I then used AGCCS and got my winnings paid to me after about 1 month. After that, I started closing all my accounts at Araxio casinos! Have avoided all Araxio casinos since then. NEVER NEVER take the words of streamers!!!

Just goes to show that one person's meat can be another person's poison!

Whaaaaat? And he never even said farewell or goodbye to the others like us? Ah well, wish him all the best anyway.

Geees! And I thought only Araxio casinos request for such things...now Dama casinos too?

He has been MIA for quite a long while by now...probably doing the same thing as our GotTheBone guy...RESTING!

Very simple my dear...hold ID in one hand, hold camera/phone in another hand, and hold laptop in one more hand! The problem is...we can either have two hands or have four legs!!! (Pssst...the laptop screen is supposed to be seen in the background, on a table of course...but we all know that, hahaha)

Which casino was that at mate? Was it also at iLUCKI Casino?

Hi Emcphee, and welcome to the forum. Firstly, casinos are run and managed for maximum profit, meaning, they do not employ tons of employees to check out every financial aspect of the operations - staffing is always at minimal and only for the absolute essentials. Secondly, casinos exist purely to make money from their customers, and regulations require that every new customer must go through a KYC process, either before making any deposit, or when the customer makes a withdrawal. Only when necessary, such as in a huge withdrawal claim, then a deeper scrutinisation of the customer's account would be made. A customer may make only small deposits years before, then suddenly make big deposits recently, without triggering any sort of alarm to the casino management. High rollers are known to make huge deposits at a time. In your case, it may simply look to them like you can afford bigger deposits nowadays than before. This is not uncommon. Thirdly, problem gamblers have a choice to activate preventive/curbing measures in their accounts, either by limiting their daily/weekly/monthly deposits amount, or by activating the 'cooling off' period, or by activating the self-exclusion clause. This responsibility is the onus of the gambler in the first instance. The casino would usually step in to help when assistance has been requested. As I have said earlier, most casinos do not have specific staff looking into this aspect of their customers. With each casino having hundreds of thousands of customers, it is quite impossible for them to keep proper tracking of each and every customer. A 100,000 GBP total deposited amount in a week may not even trigger a look-out alarm to most casinos! If you need help, get assistance from the casino's Live Chat service, or activate one of the preventive measures yourself. Hope this helps.
