March 2, 2010, 8 02

William Hill has announced its results for 2009 and to quote Ralph Topping the Chief Executive it has been a “rotten” year blaming as others have done “rotten” football results (which means the favourites won and the punters won, no problem there then!) and the cancellation of many horse race meetings and a general decline [...]

There are two kinds of websites in existence; those that promote absolutely any online casino that asks and those that take online gaming seriously and have a number of criteria which an online casino must fulfil before any partnership can be formed. Our site belongs in the second category. We have a number of criteria that will determine whether a casino will be part of our homepage or not. The financial aspect of which is a very minor role. If you link through us to a casino online we derive an income (paid by the casino, not by you) which allows us to keep our site up to date with the latest news , actions and tips and we can also get involved in any conflict with the casino that you are unable to resolve. This last item is luckily very infrequent but that is partly due to the parameters that we set before we do business with a casino online.

We are in regular contact with our partners about their offerings; for example is there a free casino option where players can try out free casino games and familiarize themselves with the game rules. Nearly every casino online offers free casino play but some take it more seriously than others. The free casino play should emulate the real play as closely as possible and the free casino games should only offer the same chance of winning as in real play. We look at how easy it is to deposit cash and more importantly how easy it is to get your winnings out and how long it takes. If it is more than 48 hours we are unlikely to do business. We look at the total offering of casino games as well as the graphics but also how well the casino games are explained and whether there is a teaching page. We look for an option of flash or instant casinos where there is no download required which some prefer. All in all we try to give you the best experience possible and you can help us by clicking through and registering with your favourite casino online.
