Information about our online casino reviews
When you read our
online casino reviews, you are reading the views and opinions of independant
experts.
We are genuine slot machine fanatics, and we allow our reviewers total freedom
to write their honest opinions. You will notice that they are brutally honest in their
views, and this is exactly what we are looking for.
We often have two or three experts
play and assess the casinos, to test the games and customer support to the max, and get
a balanced view.
Affiliate commissions
It is important to be clear about how we
generate the money required to pay for running the site, and to pay salaries. Running
costs include hosting fees, security, reviewers and writers fees, and to pay the people
that we hire to test the site. Amongst many many other things.
We generate income
through affiliate commissions. So, if a casino we love, and recommend offers affiliate
commissions, we do accept them.
However, unlike other casino sites, we still list
casinos we like, even if they don't offer commissions.
An example of this, is Betway
Casino in the UK - we have listed this casino for over 10 years, because it is a really
good place to play. We recommend them even though they do not offer us any
commission.
Other casinos we love, like Jackpot City, do pay affiliate commissions, and
we are happy to accept those payments. In most cases the fees do not influence where
they appear in the listing. But if two casinos are of equal quality, we list the casino
that pays commissions above the other one.
It is important to note that the payment of
fess does not affect the play or bonus offers at the casino.
If you object to affiliate
commissions, then simply clear the cache in your browser, then visit the casino
directly, so the casino doesn't have an affiliate link to work on.
Playing Safely
How
to play safely, and enjoy casino
Playing any casino game should always be an
entertainment and nothing more than that. The odds of winning are always stacked in the
favour of the casino, and over the long-term, the player always loses.
This is why here
at penny-slot-machines, we prefer free play and social casinos, over real money
casinos
But if you do prefer to play for real money, then you need two things:
1) to
arm yourself with all the best information about how to play safely. For example:
• Set
a money limit in advance, and stick to it.
• Walk away from your losses, and never
chase them.
• Treat gambling as an entertainment, that costs money and stick to your
budget.
• Set a time limit prior to playing.
• Notice how you are feeling. Never play
when you are sad, depressed, angry etc.
• Enjoy other activities, like chatting to, or
mixing with friends.
• Take lots of breaks, ideally out of the house.
• Be careful to
not play when you are drinking or doing drugs.
2) to find an online casino that you can
trust, and that is Government regulated, with the following features:
• Reality Check –
triggers a pop up, remding you to take a break.
• Time Limits – allows you to set rigid
limits on your playing time.
• Time Out – allowing you to put your account on temporary
hold.
• Deposit Limits – enforcing a strict limit on your deposits.
• Credit Card
Restrictions - the operator can help you tell bank to block your internet
transactions.
• Permanent Account Closure / Self Exclusion – you can close your account
and all contact with the operator ends.
Once again - always try to enjoy free slots or
social casinos, over real money, if you can.
Casino games should be fun. When the fun
stops - Stop.
