  1. Unibet are running a 98% version for non UK - one of the few casinos at the moment that take everything at the max as well - as well as having one of the smoothest sites about. Games OK, but typical Red Tiger - kinda slow and clunky and pauses where there doesn't need to be
  2. RG checks are by their very nature very subjective and applied differently by different operators - the UKGC has kept it quite high level in terms of compliance, though in recent updates to the LCCP there have been more prescriptive elements added - such as the annoying, 'treat anyone gambling over an hour' as showing potential signs as issues -which is, frankly, pathetic. In terms of the identity checks prior to depositing- they only kicked in this year - May, before you deposit. Even so, they don't really relate to RG. Even taking the EDD of the 2k threshold - difficult to relate to RG: probably more a money laundering implication. You weren't on Gamstop when you played no? The issue is really did you display signs of reckless behaviour -reversing is an indicator, seemingly but the only real folk who can answer that are the UKGC as it's their rules. Unfortunately, they don't deal with complaints - that may change in the future though given the most recent Parliamentary Report but right now they just acknowledge it. ADR's normally won't touch it. I'm not a big fan of Casino's making judgements as to RG - but, do it they must...did they not fulfil the social responsibility aspects of their licence? How longs a piece of string - you could get two folk looking at your personal aspects and have two totally different conclusions There was a guy on here, who blew 250k on a MGA casino and if to be believed, factually, had a quite a good case - 80k loans given to him to gamble, massive tilting loses and the MGA basically went 'Meh' - u tend to find these Social Resp issues only come to the fore when the UKGC etc are investigating and want to produce a lovely report for their site: for example, pretty sure the suspension of Genesis Casino's licence is probably RG related.
  3. Those 'Netents' could be running at 90%, 50%,10%; you simply don't know. Probably run out of a sewer by some grad students half stoned. If you win a massive amount on sites like this you're screwed - they won't pay out (well, they will up to certain amounts just to get you back), they'll tell you 'oh we have to speak to the provider to confirm' - then tell you you're not getting paid. And, aside from maybe charging back deposits (not recommended, unless last resort), you have no recourse to get your winnings. Redbet/Sky Vegas/Bet 365/Novibet/32 Red etc etc: all sites that, as sure as you can be, will provide you with genuine games, no excuses not to pay out etc - loads more, just research.
  4. No, nothing you can do because they're a shower of criminals - pirated games: South Park/Dark Knight no longer exist and they offer them. More and more of these places are targeting gam-stopped players. Why are you playing here if from London? Loads of reputable places you can be playing at - when you play at these places you're just feeding money into some Cypriot/Israeli/Russian/Whatever criminal enterprise basically.
  5. Wager free sounds good in theory but when the spins are in batches of 5 and 10p mainly, they aren't appealing to be honest. Each to their own obviously, but I'd rather have several 100% offers in a month, with x35-x45 wagering attached, than have a shot at 10p spins in the month (not to cash out but more for game play, taking a chance with higher bets etc) Coupled with the fact that your chances of winning spins in VS has gone down as numbers have gone up, as well - on a decent week you'd maybe pick up 100 or more spins, now you're lucky to see 25. Battles halved as well as rounders tickets crop up. Still not a bad place to play if low rolling i suppose, i just don't see the point in depositing 400 quid a month (or whatever it is to meet 2500XP) to play boring PNG 10p spins. They've also ditched a lot of their prize trophy's - winning 4 times in a row etc used to get you spins i think in the past but they've scaled that back as well (stealthily as well) 7/10 for me as a casino
  6. Odd -White Hat Gaming? Not their biggest fan but their sites are normally well run and certainly not one i'd place on the dodgy list. Not me, but played quite a lot in my own house and never had any issue with taking bonus's, losing, playing for cash and then cashing out etc....
  7. Some providers , like PNG and some others will tell you (well, if you obtain the game sheets)the chances are for x hits and none of theirs remotely resembles, certainly the far left, table.
  8. Also, if it doesn't matter why do software providers offer varying RTP's and why are many casino's lowering theirs? All casino's have the same winning chance? Don't know what that means but their slot revenue is tied to the RTP - clues in the title; what's returned to the player, means what's left over for the casino.
  9. Eh? The myth is wrong - don't think anyone in the know thinks RTP determines max wins; it affects playtime: less spins over time for money; less chance to hit the big X win, but that X win has never been commensurate with the RTP of the game. A game could have a 10% RTP and still see a max 5000x winner. The RTI Technical Standards lay out how a game should work. if you have any doubts as to that then i suggest you whistleblow to the Regulator - to date, there have been no such reports funnily enough, to my knowledge. Bespoke games/fake games by many Curacao joints? Well, who knows what goes on there. Anything, presumably.
  10. Pragmatics portfolio's odd - they have some games that can hit well; seen some decent hits with Wild West and they can balance build on lowish stakes. But put the stake to 1 or above and they seem to go into eat mode. Madame Destiny's bonus rounds tend to oscillate around 100x on a decent day but it's tricky to get 250x and above on a lot of them unless they're really loose. Elks even more varied - actually think they have some decent slots in Tahiti Gold (very, very volatile) and Micro knights is lower variance fun. Sam on the Beach wouldn't give you enough to retire on, but relative fun. But a lot of theirs are low paying but still hard to bonus - not a combo that goes well together. I don't mind if games are boring (DOA2 etc), as long as they can hit: same as other way around; relative fun, but not a great deal of potential but boring and low paying: why bother? - that's why PNG sit at the top of the tree personally, closely followed by Yggdrasil - every time i go (or went) into their games, it's been the same: dead spins until zero with no bonus. Coupled with the fact they're not the smoothest, meh. BF Games, if you catch on a good day, are not bad - some of the Wazdan recent releases are ok, but their previous offerings are awful IMO.
  11. Butlers Bingo etc used to engage in this unholy practice. The regulators should set up a mailbox where things like this are flagged to them and, should they not change it, have their licence taken away; yes, bonus's etc aren't mandatory but if offered they should be fair; not fraudulent which this verges on.
  12. Now seeing political decisions beginning to override the science and rumblings of fights between Ministers and the Medical Advisors. I wouldn't be surprised to see a rise here in the UK: Social Distancing is disintegrating as we speak, we have mass gathers (Funny how the London protestors, who in all likelihood were up in arms about Cummings, seemed OK with this) and from hearing from other folk, businesses are already chancing their arms. Plus side is post analysis of this governments response might see that bumbling buffoon Johnson out the door and back to working in KFC where his leadership skills are best suited. Labour finally have a half decent (though not perfect) candidate for the first time since we elected that psychopath Blair into power. If i was to pick a new Tory, which would normally require someone holding a gun to my head, the Chancellors came out of this ok; though not sure he has much charisma to get the support for any challenge. Downside round the world is that Trump seems to suffering some sort of mental breakdown with each passing day.
  13. You'd have a better chance of winning in places like this by simply talking some cash and posting it through some strangers letter box, hoping for every 20 dollars you put through the person at the other end sends back a 40.
  14. Why would they play...gamblers can have low IQ's when it comes to things like this but normally it'll be because 1. Gam-stopped or 2. The allure of the 2000% bonus, which they'll be lucky to even see if they meet wagering. Talking of dodgy sites, if you look at Leomonaco: there's one to stay away from, I wonder where they got their innovative inspiration from. Genuinely i think it's harder to find dodgy casinos (UK at least), than it is to find a well run joint; so, I'm baffled why folk play in places - if in doubt, walk away: there's really NO NEED to play/take a chance in some of these places.
  15. Even with the English translate function my brain can't work out that email...But generally; Loss Limits are best used in conjunction with bet limits. Not sure if this is correct BUT: - Some casino's will not let you bet an amount over your loss limit, but i think these are few and far between. - At the point of bet, say you had a loss limit of 1k and bet 1100: strictly speaking the loss limit isn't breached at the point of bet; only if the 1100 is a losing bet and ergo, only at that point will the limit kick in Technically, i don't think doing it the second way breaks anything.
  16. Keeping in line with the blacklisted slots - a lot will have had many an iSoftBet on theirs at some point but worth noting that their recent releases have really improved and, dare i say it, are actually quite good and entertaining so a play on the recent releases may see them coming off the list.
  17. One thing i do like, and some BTG's/NLC games do it, is the slow spin: you see the first few reels with a premium symbol and then for the last few reels the slow spin comes in; knowing you've got a board of the premium symbols, or, one reel short, but still a big win: hit 2800x in Dragon Born when it first came out and it's a good feeling: same for White Rabbit: obviously a psychological part but it achieves it's goals
  18. Yeah, the BP MW's are a lot more clunky as well. Think Bonanza's RTP in the base game is very high in comparison with other games (just shy of 70% in the BG, compared to Reactoonz of sub 50% - can't remember the exact figures), so the bonus rounds are quite volatile. In terms of base game hits, Donuts, is one I've seen folk hit quite a few >1000x in the base game with the purples: I've had about 3 ish 1000x wins in Bonanzas BG, but that's over 3 years. Someone did have a 100x multiplier going into the Donuts bonus round and won zero - that would have seen my laptop thrown across into England. New game in a few weeks out by BTG, Clusterpays - on Sky Vegas for a week, interesting to see if it's, hopefully, more like Lil Devil and less like Monopoly Multiplier.
  19. What happened to the other Goodwin rep? Think @cocopop3011asked if you were now the rep in another thread.
  20. Yeah dude, you may get the odd 100x the odd time in the base game but they're not as common as some similar games....Unlike it's close cousin Bonanza though i find the Bonus will not give you as many sub 100x rounds. Red Tiger, avoiding their 92% offerings where possible at casinos, have a deceptive decent set of Megaways - i think, and it's on here somewhere, the first time i played Wish Upon i hit 2200x in the bonus round (not played since) - very hard to bonus in them though. Putting tinfoil hat on, i find when i'm winning EVERY slot across different providers seems to hit - very rarely does it seem to be the case of one hot slot and 9 cold ones etc - odd. Almost like there's a central force at play.
  21. I really don't get how this provides the casino with any level of assurance - if i want to try and pick a residence that aint mine and knew i'd get asked this I would just pick someone relatively close and, if asked, just nip round and do it? (unless i'm in Finland and saying i live in Spain - in that case I'll just do it when on holiday there) Can't speak for non UK places but we have such a wealth of online data to verify the person and the residence against (Companies house, DWP,HMRC, Land Registry, Voters Roll and a host of others - and some Credit Reference Agencies will amalgamate all this data and do it for you) that such a practice, certainly here, is not needed IMO. Never had the whole 'Stand ootside yer hoose and take a pic' here but have heard from pals of some casinos doing it - think maybe it depends if UK based and you have greater access to the other data.
  22. Chances are next to zero; especially coupled with the fact you're using a VPN. Even if not using a VPN, probably would be the same as they'll say 'its your responsibility to check if you're permitted to play here' - even if they should be geo-blocking. IF, you had used a debit card and they refused to pay winnings, you'd have a case for chargeback from the bank for deposits. But even then banks are a bit cautious about approving such. You're in the UK, with a huge casino selection (albeit Bitcoin ones are non existent with UKGC licences i think)...why them?
  23. Yeah, had a punt on Gorilla Gold and see it as a bit of a money drainer - i'm not a fan of gimmicks in games (Hello, BTG's Monopoly etc) and the 4 slots of that is simply that IMO; so quickly left after it ripped through 300x in the blink of an eye. Not against re-skinning games, per se: No Limit City's Deadwood is IMO an improvement on Tombstone, but only if they augment the previous version: innovation has gone with a lot of providers sadly, though NLC seem to be one of the few trying something new and BTG, despite some of their releases, at least try something new/different now and then (even if not a fan) Re Rick & Morty - the Federation Spins are where it's at in the Bonus: tbh though 2/3 of those 500x took 250x loss to get, so profit wasn't that great but you can see how it can payout (two wilds in Federation Spins and a Rick symbol on the first reel will normally shoot you up to the 500x in one spin)
  24. Yeah, it's pointless trying to work out what games may meet the wager: i've met high wagering with various games over the years, some unexpected like Starburst one (boring 5 hours). Sometimes you low roll for an hour, build up, bet bigger and make it: sometimes you simply low roll yourself to zero. Just depends. My personal preference, of the last few years is just to go in biggish and hope you hit a decent bonus early doors. With second chance bonus's IMO you may as well try 50 two quids, 25 4 quids etc but that's just my preference. It's a good feeling, if it hits, to know that you've got a grand left to wager and have a grand balance - knowing every wins in the bank - very rare though, but good when it happens.
  25. Yeah, BP are grim for hitting a bonus but been playing Rick and Morty and had 5 500x (not much over them) the last 5 days so hitting purple patches with them. No one does cheap games, re-skinned with no imagination like PNG though. Every release gets worse and worse - should really slow the production line and get a new development team: shocking game releases over the last 18 months in particular.
