  1. Greetings A.G Community ,

     

    After being on a 6 year Tour of Duty in the Gambling Jungle I have to say that I've seen them come

    and I've seen them go Played at Quite a Few Casino's in My Time and learned a lot of lessons along

    the way.

    In particular I've found that when Choosing a Casino one should allways test them out first : see if

    everything is running stable , Examine their casino in detail from reviews and read player feedback ,

    Examine Their Terms and Conditions , Note how professional , informed , and Courteous their Customer

    support is and how contactable and readily available Customer support is (Live chat , e-mail , and etc) ,

    how fast the turnaround is for withdrawals , and how ...reasonable and flexible they are when it comes 

    to cashing out.

     

    Others may have their own opinions granted and I look forward to hearing them but in my opinion the most

    solid casinos you will find currently are the following in this order :

     

    1. Videoslots Casino

    2. BitStarz Casino

    3. IWcaino

    4. Guts Casino

    5. 32 Red Casino

    6. Betsson Casino

    7. TRR Casino

     

    There are others deserving but for the moment these I consider to be Solid , Safe , and Reliable to the core.

     

     

  2. Ok Spare time on my hands first thought that pops into mind is all the new slot games and changes

    to a lot of the current ones like Dead Or Alive , Starburst , and a host of others too many to list I gotta

    say I'm not likin the changes very much for instance the ability to configure the animations has been

    removed from games like say Gonzos quest so your pretty much bottlenecked to having to roll with the

    graphics as an example.

     

    And without naming any names I'm seeing a whole lot of High Variance coming out with low pay tables

    that have a better hit frequency when they first come out then die quick as lightning a few weeks down

    the track ...hard to see the lines don't get me wrong some of em are ok ! its just that a lot seem like their

    cash meat grinders compared to a lot of old school games which pay WAY better example Tally Ho is a

    favourite of mine that Girl can dance when shes in a good mood same with Say .....Break Da Bank  in a

    good mood can kick up a storm .

     

    Wish they would stop modding stuff hatin a lot of the changes ...man its like a chevy impala leave it how it

    is yo :) .

  3. I see they have a new Version of Dead or Alive out there I've had a few jams of it now ....all I can say is wow

    ..posters hardly hit on spins struck it once on a 90 cent bet once ! 5 posters could just be my bad luck of late

    mind ... when it comes to slots its all about being on at the right time .

     

    Typical example jumped on an "Icy Cold" Slot at Betat casino and hit mega big its all about how the rng is feeling

    guys lately its been moody with me :) .

  4. Also they are telling me I need to use my hard saved 38,000+ points by 31st Dec or I lose them! I'm saving for the $35 only other thing I can buy is gift cards which I don't really want! 

     

    I'm really Disappointed in these guys ...use the points or else ...and thats not all I emailed vip with some questions and received a generalised

    response ...im shocked at the slipping of standards was a case of having to go to eco I could use my visa to get a faster withdrawal than a 8 day member wire transfer.

  5. It seems that Neteller decision to seize MasterCard operations for so many countries is not affecting EU countries, at least for the moment. And it makes me feel happy for the first time from ages that Bulgaria is within EU...  :pardon:

     

    As for the fraud, I do believe it is in fact happening outside Europe actually where Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, Malaysia, China, South Africa and a few other countries being the home countries of huge fraud rings and/or groups of criminals dealing with this kind of illegal stuff. :(

     

    One way or another, the decision is terrible, totally unjustified and above all, unfair to all those loyal Neteller customers who paid thousands and thousands of fees over the years. Sincerely hope Neteller will soon put this poor decision into some serious reconsideration. 

     

    Whichever that reason is I'm gutted Valdes I've been Loyal to these guys from the get go the amount of fees paid the random introductions of member to member fees , the technical issues , the good times the bad , and then the decline in Quality of Service these past 1-2 years something had to give and the Mastercard decision was really the tick that broke the camels back for me personally.

     

    I noticed a lot changed after the merger with Skrill around about the same time Live support gradually dropped off and now this dont know if the things

    are linked but my best guess is cost cutting : cheap call centers similar to what Telecom now Spark did in New Zealand sourcing offshore call centers

    which cost them next to nothing reducing costs but lowering the Quality of Customer Service Delivery.

     

    Yep Truely Gutted with Netty well and truely.

  6. Whilst shifting over to another new e-wallet provider may seem like a good reasonable move now...it may turn out to be the opposite!

     

    How sure can anyone be that another e-wallet provider is as safe and reliable as what Neteller/Skrill has been?  :huh:

     

    If by removing the use of Neteller's Mastercard at the 'hot' regions, Neteller would be making their transactions even more safe and reliable, despite making lots of inconveniences to many innocent users.  But safety always has a price to be paid...it doesn't come free...and it is never ever cheap either!  -_-

     

    My question is...will you be making the right move by changing over to another e-wallet provider???!!!  :huh:

     

    Not for me, thanks! I'm more than satisfied with Neteller.

    They have been very reliable and greatly useful to me, and if they are only trying to make their transactions even more safe and reliable, then why should I change over to another 'unproven' e-wallet provider?  :rolleyes:

     

    For whichever reason Neteller decided to pull the cards is  not the point of the exercise there was no actual reasons given

    for one and it was done so at the last minute which demonstrates poor business ethics which has been consistant with earlier decisions

    such as the abolition of live support .

     

    Credit Card Fraud is not as easy as it sounds the major credit card companies have security measures in place which block suspect transactions

    multiple attempts are subject to screening and blocking its not as easy as it sounds and I'm pretty sure pulling because of fraud would not be

    the case with my country.

     

    As to the E-Wallet chosen so far so good its another company and we've gone Neteller were given multiple chances to respond and reconsider

    their position they chose to ignore after a Lot of feedback on a number of issues outside of the cards so thats all folks for us anyway.

  7. My Network of 163 Neteller Clients had a little meeting today and the benefits of Ecopayz were far too significant to ignore

    for starters they have Live support something that Neteller took away and they have a host of other things including cards

    so the migration has begun.

    About a year ago when I started having issues with Neteller I pre-prepared an ecopayz account just in case now its main

    stream Neteller were given the chance to change their mind they dug their toes in umm good luck with that : one guy within

    Neteller I wont name him even commented "I don't agree with Managements decision" this indicates to me uncertainty within

    the company itself as to what degree of fragility only time will tell.

  8. For me, a very careless decision, I think they do it because of the tax on gambling in the country where you are. Over the bank will control your transactions easier than via ATMs.

     

    As far as I'm to understand Tax on gambling can only be realised if said gambling occurs within the borders of a country and then be subject to

    its laws the gambling is happening remotely thus not physically taking place in the country so how does tax apply exactly ? .

  9. Right Neteller ,

     

    Ok I've been with these guys for about 5 years now and I've seen the ups and downs , little technical issues , 

    and the slow degradation of their service first notiable by the delivery of their phone customer support the english 

    skills of said customer support have gradually become worse and worse to the point where I allmost need a translator

    to make communicaton.

    Second thunderbolt to arrive was the removal of live support which was an effective means for both client and company

    at troubleshooting vital problems and reducing costs by not having to make a phonecall I swear their management are

    running around with their heads cut off poor management skills don't even cut it here its outright stupidity.

     

    Then today I receive an email :

     

    Netscum.jpg

     

    Well this is the Last Straw Neteller I helped you build up clients over the years and this is how you treat me and the 163 clients which I will advice to pull

    within 48 hours if you do not amend your policy pure and simple we are going elsewhere .

     

    Nuff Said.

  10. I keep hearing about these DDos Extortions and now their having a go at my main hangout ....g'dam cocaroaches I wish someone would

    exercise the terrorist legislation and let loose some assets at these bugs .

     

    Mitigate , Endure , Reinforce , and dont give up a cent to the beggars VS and everyone .

    These are both Solid Operations No Mess no Fuss and if your games tight you'll do alright .

  12.  Point 1 - They do have live chat, but i waited over an hour and no one helped me and i left

     

    Point 2 - I have been victim of additional security checks.

     

    Also, i have a USD account and when i make deposits to site that host my account in Euro currency, the conversion charges are so expensive.

     

    I once won 430 euros at a casino - In USD i should be receiving about 470 - 475 in my neteller, i ended up getting 445 USD, i suppose they took that 20 extra USD for charges or conversion rates.

     

    I am really upset about this, but like i said when i contacted support to inquire about this, i waited more than an hour and even 30 minutes on another occasion, but i just could never get through to someone.

     

    But so far, the Master Card has helped me a lot. no more lengthy wire transfer from neteller to my bank account. I simply swipe or withdraw at ATM. So this is very convenient and one of the reasons i stay with them.

     

    Hey Fiekie , 

     

    Thanks for the feedback could I borrow your eagle eyes a moment could you tell me where live chat can be found as it 

    should be a simplistic matter like clicking on support all I can see is phone support hardly a mention of email and the 

    conversion fee's are wrong I always check with google first its way off . 

     

    Eg . Cashout from Cashmio Casino 497 Euro received 469ish euro like wtf ? and then try to get hold of somebody 

    umm yep always get a prompt response from the United Kingdom lol and don't get me wrong love talking to you 

    Kingdom at least we can go a few rounds  in constructive english unbroken english . ^^

     

    And I guess since I started down the path the acceptance level of transactions is dodgy as well like with different banks 

    and cards ...Anz Bank New Zealand is a No Go as Neteller is Flagged for High Fraud Use ...had to switch banks as everytime 

    I wanted to make a deposit I had to ring the PRM team just to have a deposit approved ...as the PRM team had to remove 3D Secure 

    so the transaction went through don't ask me why but there's been a few bumps on the road ...I'm now with kiwibank and don't run into 

    it ....much anymore. (Visa Debit)

  13. Hey Guys , 

     

    Just thought I'd raise this I've been with Neteller for a while now and over the past year 

    I've noticed a few things for one I know that they merged with Skrill I know about that 

    and I would imagine with the merger there would be some improvements sadly not the 

    case . 

     

    1. I've noticed Live Chat Support Completely Vanish when it comes to trouble shooting 

    issues you now have to contact a number and with no Neteller phone support in New 

    Zealand I now have to contact the Australian Support or the United Kingdom just to get 

    somebody whom I can understand that doesn't speak broken english. (either that or wait for the delayed vip response)

     

    2. All of a sudden there have been random security checks made I know a few members 

    outside of myself who have been subject to having to send in extra verification for god knows 

    what reason just to conduct business.

     

    3. The Turnaround time for a vip callback is now a lengthy thing I requested a call on a particular 

    day and two days later received an email asking if I still needed the call. 

     

    I'm a bronze vip was a silver till the rules changed and I have to say standards have slipped a 

    bit not happy Netty don't know whats up with you guys but I'm not impressed . 

     

    -T

  14. i get this error message also. when i asked them about it 2 weeks ago they told me that they were having issues and it would be resolved soon. like i said that was 2 weeks ago. i asked them 2 days ago why this is still happening and they told me it was not them but the providers who are looking into it. seems a bit sus to me, what provider would want to miss out on the millions that these games generate? wouldn't you want it up and running again asap??

     

    I'd be all over it as Ceo be jumped on then and there with a downtime for maint with jobs at risk as a result but I mean one business differs to another 

    I see everygame.co* is going to shut up shop I only just joined them recently .. 

  15. Greetings AG Community , 

     

    This thought has been on my mind for quite some time in regard to Casino Reviews 

    I see that one review is allowed at a time strictly by the rules as I had one removed 

    yesterday which was just an update to the first as I like to give people the whole picture

    and not just a part of it . 

     

    Also I think these reviews should be editable if there is going to be a one review per casino

    rule enforced then there should be the option for ongoing feedback as situations can change 

    with casino's and up to date information is useful I think to the community . 

     

    Thank you for your time , 

     

    -T

     

     

  16. I see people talk about this all the time building up bonus features , playing low volatility/medium volatility , and sticking to a particular software is still subject to random number generation and how busy the games are at the time which cycles the rng faster but its not a ticket to ride : I personally have played so called hot games and lost 10k in a go.

  17. Hi Gamaliel! 

    Your break certainly didn't last long... lol :)

     

    I noticed you mentioned bitcoin mining, I didn't think that was profitable these days? Do you have dedicated equipment or are you using graphics cards? I'm considering getting a GTX10 series next month and might give it another go if I think there might be a little money to be made. Maybe we could start an Askgamblers team???

     

    Hey Raverbabe it's profitable you just have to find Innovative ways of curving the cost and knowing which hardware to use Currently I'm packing Antminer Series 7 with the new chips which use less power ...its a roll of the dice with bitcoin the market is volatile but my babies keep hashing away 24/7 .... and hey I like that Idea about an Askgamblers team hehe :) ..as to the market things are slowly picking up pace here in New Zealand and Bitcoin is becoming more widely used this increases its usefulness as a medium of exchange and thus will effect the value of this form of currency . 

     

    As to the Volatility of the Market Half of the Investor Confidence Scares are drummed up by inaccurate speculation a lot of the time but this is common with any market 

    your always going to have pros and cons : Satoshi's dream has been made manifest and the people driven currency is picking up speed being transparent from the control mechanisms of other currencies Bitcoin will hold store of Value for years if the Market Becomes more Mature that is in their Long Term Projections.

     

    As to AG ...I'm open minded I'm already a solider here AG is my crew.
