Hello goopxx;
I’ve posted regarding GamblingWages a couple of times now.
The history (good and bad) with GamblingWages reputation (ie: CirrusCasino, CoolCat, and others) has been mixed depending on who and when you ask.
I had a lot of problems with these guys a few years ago both as an affiliate and as a player.
As an affiliate, I really hated these guys at first. I always felt somehow cheated on my earnings. But since 2005 or so, They picked up an affiliate manager (Nicholas) who was more than helpful to me on several occations. I began to see revenue increase and payments being made on time each month. In fact, when the big Neteller fiasco came about and I could no longer be paid commissions via Neteller (I’m a US affiliate), They began to send my payments via WesternUnion… Still always on time.
Nicholas has since left GW a while back, but there new manager (Vanessa) seems to be ok. I have received payments (with a notification) the past couple of months.
We will see how the latest management team conducts their affiliate relations in the months to come.
Now my thoughts (and advise) as a player… The first and most important thing is you need to do is FULLY READ THE TERMS AND CONDTIONS of any casino bonus they offer.
RTG (Realtime Gaming) is notorious for unrealistic “sticky bonuses” Also they do not tollerate “free” and “no deposit” bonus leechers… If you create more than one player account to re-collect new signup bonuses, you WILL have problems later when you deposit real money.
Personally I never accept any bonuses (with exeption to player comp points) while playing at online casinos. I just found from previous experience that it is always easiest to collect your winnings this way.
This probably did not solve anything for you but I thought you might like to hear something positive about GW.
