Gambling: Gambling is the of money or something of material value on an event with an uncertain outcome with the primary intent of winning additional money and/or material goods. Typically, the outcome of the wager is evident within a short period. I am going to play devil’s advocate here. I don’t think it is fair to label some casinos as being “bad” because we have a string of bad luck. A player makes a few deposits and they lose, therefore they are considered crooks. Gambling is a sport of RISK. The odds are never going to be in our favor whether it is a land based casino or online casino. If it was, then gambling establishments would be out of business. The casinos are always going to have the house edge. We play because we hope we are one of the lucky ones today to beat the odds. Of course when we lose it makes us mad! That is part of being a gambler. More often than not we are ticked off for losing than happy for winning. But a true gambler knows this going in and takes it all in stride. I think in all fairness to the casinos that are considered reputable, to be stoned for our misfortune is not fair. Is there bad casinos that are rogue? You betcha there is. And what is a rogue casino? A casino that never pay us for winning. A casino that procrastinates and stalls before giving us our payouts. A casino that locks our account because we have “won” too much or took too many deposits bonuses that they keep offering us on a daily basis. These casinos are all to happy to give us the deposit bonus and take our money until we win then they pull the rug out from under us. Lets not forget what is considered rogue and what is simply a player ticked off because they are having a bad run of luck. Many players read the forum for advice from players before making deposits. What we say is very important to many gamblers when it comes to choosing a gambling site. I hope members can take in stride when they read casino comments that are getting a bad rap may be only because they have not won. Or we get plenty of players that will bash a casino when in fact it is the player who has abused the rules and not read throughly the terms and conditions. Then there are some players who out of vengence want to tarnish a casino’s reputation because they have deposited way too much money and didn’t budget themselves. As far as casinos with rediculous playthroughs, you know the terms going in and you took it. I don’t think it is fair to complain when you don’t make the playthrough when you knew all along it was near impossible. Unless you can find a bonus for 30x playthrough or less, I personally would not take it. My word of advice before anyone makes a decision on a casino being “bad” or not: unless you read of slow payouts, not paying at all or locking your account unnecessarily then we can’t call them a “bad” casino.

WTG lipstick for starting this topic, it's quite an article you wrote here! I can't help but agree with the point you made - we tend not to be objective when we lose the money we deposited in a casino. What's more, I even met some people who were really mad at a casino for losing the free chip they gave them! Another thing we should remember before we start judging a casino where we lost is how much fun we had there. We seem to forget that it is only a matter of choice how we spend our leisure time. Some would take $50 and go partying in a club. Some would spend them on a nice dinner with friends. And some prefer playing with the $50 in an online casino. Either way, you had fun, enjoyed your free time, and paid for that. What more can you ask, really?

I fully agree with your post Lips. How many times I have seen people complan because the machines were tight, not paying and then a few weeks later, they're posting their "Wins" and all is now forgotten or forgiven.
I now have 2 cashouts that I am "Hopefully" getting. BUt I can be honest and say while some do tick me off, I have sene too many say "It's a good casino" and I just have to bide my time till my winning day comes along.

Well said Lipstick. The one thing a gambler can never have enough of is self-control.

Thanks guys for your feedback on this topic!! It is appreciated...
Yes catface couldn't agree with you more that we tend to "look a gift horse in the mouth" meaning we get a free chip and still complain.
And i do understand the frustration gene all too well i might add!
Joesph Kennedy - been wanting to say this a long time to you. I love your name. I love the era.... Back to topic yes you make a valid point about us the GAMBLER!!!
I only bring this topic up to protect all members and protect casinos that don't deserve it. To bear in my mind when someone is complaining about a casino we don't know all the facts, and until we do let's not judge them so harshly.

Very nicely written, but that doesn't surprise me at all, Lips just got that extreme talent to let it out there, she says the things alot want to say but just can't get it to words to where everyone can understand
Thank You Lips i agree with you completely.
You know me, i rarely complain about online casino sites unless they have truely made me mad, to be honest it hasn't happened other then not being paid by a casino that was rogue to begin with, or it actually being my own fault, meaning i blew the money and lost, realizing i can't win every single time at every single casino i play at.. and yes i will and have lost alot of money, i understand all concepts when it comes to gambling
