    My opinion’s never gonna change mate, so just accept that and move on to berating some other people.

    And that’s why I can’t take you seriously; your opinion isn’t based on evidence and it can’t be changed by evidence, it’s based on your own bitter feelings towards casinos.

    Simply put they should verify me as soon as i become a member. As soon as i make my 1st deposit. But they don’t because they are shady.

    We’ll put it this way mate; if you think an online casino didn’t successfully verify your age automatically or directly within 72 hours of opening your account, report it to the Gambling Commission because if it happened (it didn’t, but if you insist otherwise) that casino has broken the law and can be fined millions of pounds and their licence revoked. So go report it if you’re that sure, why wouldn’t you?

    So let me get this straight you can spend thousands on a online casino without any checks that it’s really you using your own cards.

    Yes, though a standard AML check has been carried out, so the card number alone isn’t sufficient; you have to have given the right cardholder info such as name, address and DOB.

    I do think casinos could make the games a bit more fairer tho, £100 on 50p spins should at least give you a hour or twos entertainment on a slot. Not 5 minutes

    In my experience, it usually will though of course you can be unlucky and it depends what games you choose to play. Online casino slots are much fairer than land based slots, I’ve turned deposits of £10-20 in to over a grand several times.

    Yeah they can’t look up your age or address but they can automatically verify those details as you gave them match your card. I think they must do these checks within 3 days of your deposit and freeze your account if they couldn’t be verified.

    You keep digging that hole deeper, mate. I’m quite content to let other people read all your posts and make up their own minds about which one of us has unnecessary aggression issues.

    I deposited over 3-4k in that 6 months without age verification!

    No you didn’t. Your age in this case would have been verified automatically behind the scenes from your card details. But this doesn’t verify your ID i.e. that you are genuinely the cardholder. So when your withdrawals hit a certain level, all UK licensed casinos must freeze paying out until you send in proof of ID. Again, this is not their choice, it’s a legal requirement and they can be fined millions and shut down for not doing it.

    Don’t believe me? Ask the Gambling Commission, don’t take my word for it.

    You’re beyond help, mate.

    But i swear to god as soon as i had over 2.5k to withdraw they fucking pounced on me for proof of age! Surely this is a Shady thing to do, and i bet its happened to thousands.

    No, it’s the opposite of a shady practice, it’s the law. Any UK casino must verify your identity as soon as your total withdrawals hit £2k. A sign of a truly dodgy, corrupt, rigged casino is one which doesn’t do this, because it means they’re not regulated by the UKGC. Are you actually old enough to be gambling, is that why you’re so pissed about this sort of thing?

    Alright guys, time to come clean. Yes Basics, you’re completely right about everything. I get paid by several poker sites and online casinos to pretend I’m a normal player who sometimes wins, sometimes loses when the truth is no real players like yourself have ever won a penny. Bonus round in Secret of the Stones? Doesn’t even exist outside of fake propaganda videos. Jackpot slots? Oh please, you think anyone actually wins that £1m Major? Even The Bandit is in on it too; in fact, this whole site and forum was set up as a distraction, to discredit people like you and catch more pigeons in the trap. Our employers get very worried when they see truth-sayers like you exposing our big scam, so our job is to paint your informative, irrefutable evidence of rigging and corruption as “unsubstantiated rambling”, “nothing more than Google searches” or “YouTube videos which prove nothing”….you get the idea.

    This isn’t about money, though. The truth is far more shocking. We exist to protect what some people call a “global elite”, others “the Illuminati”. They go by other names too. They own every casino, every bookies, every poker site, all over the world. Who are they, really? The anwer will seem extraordinary, but it’s true: shapeshifting reptilian aliens from the fifth dimension. You see, we need the masses to keep their eyes closed because if they could see what’s really happening around them, the matrix would collapse, it would bring chaos to the new world order. Bread and circuses and all that. So we let them have their ipads and their gambling and their mint choc chip ice cream because when we do that, they never realise the years they spend working, the credit cards they buy things on, the latest Nike trainers they think look fancy and feel comfortable on their feet – it’s all just serving us, like good little chess pieces moving to the squares we tell them.

    Every hand you’ve ever played, every slot you’ve ever spun, every near-miss that made your heart beat a little faster….all by design, to keep you in your square with your eyes closed. You never had a chance.

    The best part? We’ve even got you hook, line and sinker. You know what’s happening and yet when you read this, you’ll assume I’m just making fun of you. I can literally tell you what we’re doing to you and you still won’t believe it. How’s that for the sheeple?

    Bonanza is great because you can normally get around 300-500 spins out of a 100x balance and huge potential if you’re lucky on the bonus, hard as it is to land. Pretty much the only title from Big Turd Gaming actually worth playing.

    My favourite right now is good old Captain Venture. Also can be very difficult to bonus, but on the other hand if you do hit the scatters, it’s rare to win less than 100x.

    Quite simply, if you start with £100, play a slot game at £1 per spin and after 100 spins, accumulated wins mean your balance is £65, that run has given you a 65% RTP. Stated RTPs, however, are calculated on the basis of millions of spins, so in practice one player might play 100 spins at £1 and only have £7 left at the end, while another might have £700 because they hit a big win or feature.

    What was this evidence of wholesale game rigging and corruption? Because I followed that thread and all I saw was a barely coherent conspiratorial ramble. We’re talking about online casinos here and in your claim, most if not all of them, so a reference to Fulltilt poker doesn’t exactly cut it.

    There have been in the entire history of online gambling only a couple of high profile instances of corruption. The most scandalous occurrences are nothing to do with rigged games but rather shady practices around tax, withdrawals and failing player protection for problem gamblers.

    You are claiming that slot games from major providers licensed and regulated in the UK are rigged and not random. You have presented not one tiny iota of evidence to support that claim – because you don’t have any, because it simply isn’t true. The game providers, their software, its source code and production deployments and infrastructure are rigorously and independently checked several times a year, including audit trails for games during the periods they’re not being directly monitored.

    Those are some actual facts for you; facts in the real sense of the word, i.e. things which are demonstrably and verifiable true.

    If you lost way more than you can afford and you’re bitter about it and it makes you feel better to convince yourself it was all a deliberate conspiracy against you to steal your money….well, you carry on, but no one here – a forum full of many knowledgeable and experienced gamblers – is going to take you seriously.

    11 bonus  – games pay out lower at higher stakes. UNTRUE.  And hugely untrue. RNG isn’t allowed to see bet size. Take the hat off on this one

    How does this reconcile with long term RTP though? The vast majority of players are low rollers who stake an average of about 60p per spin so if games play to the same odds regardless of stake, it could only take one hi rolling player to make a 96% RTP game run at a net loss to the provider.

    For example, I’m a provider and I create a game designed with a 96% RTP. A typical bonus round pays out in the region of 30-100x, a very good bonus will hit 500x, perhaps a truly exceptional bonus will hit 5000x. There may be the odd very poor bonus which pays out 10x or less. On average you would expect to see at least one bonus in a run of 100 spins. Vast majority of my players are on stakes of 20p-£1.

    So perhaps over 1000 players each having an average 200 spin session on the game, total revenue taken by the game is £120k, total paid out is £116k. So far as a provider, I’ve made £4k. Now one hi-roller comes in with a few grand and starts bashing it on £20 per spin. 50 spins in, which due to base wins has only cost them a net loss thus far of £200, they hit a bonus for 500x (good, but not spectacular). That’s £10k. The game took in additional £1k from their spins, but over that excluding the bonus paid out £800. So now as the provider my game has incurred me a net loss of £5800, simply because it plays exactly the same regardless of stake.

    Tbh argyl, i have had a hell of a run lately with the Wild Swarm game and it is creeping in to my normal play – i am 6 figures up on that game currently which is mental for me, as i said it is heading towards life changing money now

    Yeah you’ve said that in one of the big Wild Swarm videos you did and I get it, but casinos can take life changing money off you just as fast as they can give it. Only you know how you felt on Friday’s session but it really came across like you allowed your mood with the deposits to get the better of you, it didn’t seem like you enjoyed chasing Chilli like that, just like you were well fucked off with everything.

    I lost £1200 the other day in about 15 minutes on live roulette and I can sit there and go “oh yeah but it doesn’t really matter because it was all profit off my last slot session” but that doesn’t make it sting any less for me, because it’s not the money (though it is a lot of money for me, I built it up off a £35 deposit) it’s the fact that I let a run of bad numbers on roulette wind me up and take control of my mood and therefore my play. You don’t have to be losing money you can’t afford to lose control of your gambling, even if you are in control a lot of the time. You were even telling yourself to step away from the computer because you knew it was what you should do, that’s exactly what I do when the roulette gets the better of me sometimes.

    What I don’t understand with Bonanza is why the bonus is so rare when 9 times out of 10, it doesn’t even pay as well as a half decent base game spin. I get that the base is very low variance, it’s quite common for me for a run of 100 spins to only cost about 10-20x in total and sometimes I’ll even be up on a run of 100 without hitting the bonus, just because wins of a few X here and there are almost every other spin. But when it’s normal for it take anywhere from 250 – 1000 spins to drop the bonus, you expect it to have a decent chance of paying. And I swear it used to – this is what I find with BTG,when their games first come out there’s this little period for a month or so where they seem to pay out crazy money, then once everyone’s chucking money in to them thinking they’re awesome games, the bonuses suddenly become way less frequent and their average pay plummets. I’ve seen it happen with all four of the games I listed – I mean High Voltage, now it’s like a surprisingly good bonus if you get 50x. When it first came out, I was getting features in the 200-1000x range every other day.
