We’re back to everyone’s favorite topic, the wide world of payments and withdrawals.

It seems like it should be simple, a player requests a withdrawal, the money should be processed and sent to them. Today we’ll examine the situation in the US where things are not simple at all…

In the good old days there were a variety of payment options available for US players. Neteller, Click2Pay, Echeck, are just a few of the options that were out there. Players could easily deposit and withdraw funds from the casino and have it back in their account within 24-48 hours.

In today’s times the only way for US players to deposit at the casino is via credit card or UseMyWallet. The casino is unable to process funds back to a credit card which means we must send a check. While some casinos are able to wire money, the fees are enormous and there is no guarantee the money will arrive. If the bank catches on that it is related to gambling they might just confiscate the money.

I’ve said it before and I will say it again. If you live in the US your best deposit option is USeMyWallet. You can find details here http://www.jackpotfactory.com/usemywallet.php  If you have any specific questions please feel free to contact our support team.

Next week we’ll move into Canada and review their banking issues.

The $100,000 Slots Tournament finally came to and dramatic conclusion yesterday. In all, over 10,000 people participated in the semi finals and finals. Our first place winner was Per Magnus S., hails from Norway, and has been with the casino for over 5 years. Second place went to Sheila P. from the US and has been with the casino for just over a month! She missed out on the top prize by just 2000 coins! Third place went to Roberto C. from Italy who has played in over 350 tournaments since September 2007! All in all it was a world class event with players from all over the world. I hope our winners will write in and tell us a little about their experience.

Unfortunately it wasn’t all fun and games with the tournaments. We are aware of some technical issues some of our players experienced. Some players had a hard time opening the software and other players found their reels just kept on spinning. We are working very hard with our software provider, Microgaming, to fix these issues and ensure a positive playing experience for everyone.

Be sure to stay tuned for our next $100,000 Slots Tournament coming up in just a few months!

One of the best ways for players to find a casino is to use a 3rd party reference site which is commonly referred to as an affiliate.

Affiliate websites can be forums, blogs, or just pages and pages of banner advertisements. It helps to get a 3rd party’s opinion on the casino operation and about their support service, games, and payment options. A well respected and long time affiliate partner of ours is Online Casino Suite  where you can find online casino reviews, games reviews, and software provider reviews.

Here’s an excellent example of a casino review done for All Slots Casino, which is the biggest online slots casino.

Like I said, when choosing an online casino it’s important to know who are the reputable and reliable operations. But once you’ve read the All Slots review I am sure you won’t have to look any further!
