Really disappointed by the lack of members who have taken part in this! 

Whats everyones reason for not wanting to do these votes please?

@cocopop3011 I don't think I need to give my reasons again, right?

Almost all of these European casinos simply don't want me to play at them. No Skrill, no bonus with Skrill nonsense!

Sorry @cocopop3011, I'm not making a ranking, as I don't have experience with most of the nominees. I could pick one or two standouts in each category, but for the most part, my votes would be random, and I don't think awards should be decided that way.

The replies in this topic would have been different if there was a cash prize for your entries. Sadly our forum has turned into a contest only forum instead of a Gambling forum. Most of the new members barely contribute anything apart from contest screenshots. When I joined here I used to contribute regularly by creating new topics. People who joined before me did that too.  But now its just Contest screenshots. 

@cocopop3011 Maybe we should have eligibility requirements for taking part in our contests. Something like asking members to create a minimum number of topics every month or a specific period of time. Premium members 1 or 2 and invited members 2/3 per month or whatever you decide . Also every slot you play for the contest should be reviewed on Ag main site too. But no $5 reward for review.

Well I would be very disappointed if our PREMIUM members are here only for the cash prizes and I actually strongly disagree with you here. And I’d also like to add that this topic is not open to new members but only ones that have already been participating here who I expect to take part in the rest of the forum. I don’t believe anyone I have tagged is here just for cash prizes and I think most of them would also disagree with you.

I said in my post the premium members have done their part when they joined the forum and even now they have been doing it regularly. 

I was specifically talking about new members. I have been noting their activities from past 5 months and their contribution to forum is limited to contest topics only. They barely help/guide anyone new. I don't think all of them combined have created even more than 3 topics in the past 5 months.

I am sorry @cocopop3011 for saying 3. Its actually Zero. 

I am not saying creating topics is the only way to contribute towards the forum but the forum goes absolutely silent when we dont have a competition. New people come to discuss their problems, ask for help but nobody offers any guidance apart from Premium members. 

[Afi4wins]

We Premium members are like the infamous Knights of the Round Table!

I’d say that’s pretty normal, new members will tend to come and go, mostly creating topics when they have an issue, that’s pretty standard. This topic was never targeted to those kind of members, it’s open only to those who I have tagged who I expected to take part or at least explain why they can’t. There are a few that I knew that wouldn’t like ones that aren’t here now and Johnnygotthebone but still had to tag them as they are in our premium group.

It’s also fine for “some” members who enter our contests to not want to create topics, not everyone has a topic they want to create or talk about. Just because we like chatting in the forum it doesn’t mean that everyone else does. We have a lot of people who just read our forum and never comment. Would it be nice if they interacted more, YES, but not everyone is that way inclined. And if I was to say to these people okay well you have to have at least 200 forum topics to enter our contests then chances are our contests would go back down to 3-5 people entering and we’d not be given contests again. The reasons why our contests do so well now is because I removed that rule to allow everyone to enter.

Thank you for enabling me to cast my votes,

My reason for not voting is simply that I generally don't agree with the nominees, so I choose not to. Also, I am uncertain which period of time we are talking about. Is it 2024 altogether?

Okay that’s fine thanks for letting me know. The final casinos and slots were picked from the total number of nominations they received through the nomination phase. We did not select these, it was who had the most nominations. It’s from March to March I think, although I can double check this.
