Review of Luck
One to avoid
Upon registration you'll be asked to upload ID and proof of address which is standard with UKGC casinos. You also won't be able to check any of the slot game RTP's until you've done your first deposit, which is very strange. Pretty much all their games are the 94% RTP versions and lower, such as Relax Gaming, PlayNGo, Pragmatic etc, however there a few exceptions for games with one preset RTP, such as Hex by Relax Gaming (96.43%)
My documentation was approved, then I got asked via due diligence team regarding transactions of certain people on my bank statement, which is absolutely absurd considering it has nothing to do with the casino especially since i'd not deposited once on their platform. I'd expect questioning like this during a Source of Wealth check after a deposit/withdrawal threshold has been met, but upon registering is disgraceful.
I've decided to close my account, as if they're asking questions this early into registering, imagine the hurdles to withdraw funds during SoW checks?
Please avoid.
Review of MrQ.com
Strongly advise to stay away
I strongly advise to stay away from MrQ since the £690,000 fine they received from the UKGC regarding anti-money laundering precautions. They're doing Source of funds checks on small deposits, and you will NOT be able to withdraw until you've sent documentation.
I deposited £400 during the course of the day in 4 £100 deposits. I decided to withdraw £115.17 as slots were playing terribly. I then receive an email regarding source of funds and I responded saying i'll provide in due course, but please send the funds in the meantime. They refused saying they needed documentation first and were very strict on this.
Firstly, the funds I withdrew weren't winnings. It was a £285 loss that day and just withdrawing funds I deposited. Also they had no issues with me depositing multiple times, but it was as soon as the withdrawal request came in, I received the source of funds request 5 minutes later.
I refused CDD/source of wealth check and requested MrQ that they close my account and send the funds, ending business operation with them. They said they can close the account, but not sending funds until the documents were sent. I've NEVER had this issue and i've played on essentially every casino operator in the UK. I've had it a few times requested upon withdrawing and every other operator has sent the funds in the meantime of getting documents together.
A lot of games on their site are glitchy. One example is Lil Devil, a slot where you build 40 hearts for a super bonus on a particular stake. Upon logging in sometimes on MrQ on the game, the hearts are missing and had to build from scratch which is ridiculous considering how expensive it can be to build this bonus.
A joke company, once had good reputation but recently this year have gone downhill. Please avoid

Review of Buzz Bingo
Avoid!
Despite playing on multiple occasions on this site, i've never been in a position to withdraw with a sufficient amount, as the games are consistently weak on this site. Their games run terribly on the site, crashing on a regular basis and having to wait at least 10 minutes to load back up (Happened to me a lot on Playtech and SG slots such as Rainbow Riches).
I got into a bonus on Age of the Gods: Ruler of the dead on £4 stake, and halfway during the bonus the game disconnected me. I load back up thinking the game would carry on from where it disconnected... to find the bonus disappeared and did not credit me. Have you ever heard of a casino that disconnects you and doesn't store your bonus round?!? This seems to be an issue with playtech and gala sites, and they're blaming customers, advising them to 'clear their cookies'. This is basic, dumb troubleshooting and their excuse so they don't have to manually credit for the lost bonus.
I'd avoid these at all costs, the games barely even function despite having fantastic internet. The games rarely pay and feel somewhat tampered with. Im sure they'll respond with the usual 'RNG' nonsense, these games aren't genuine its simple as.

Review of Virgin Games
My experience with Gamesys (Virgin Games)
So this review has been long overdue, as i've been on this site for just over a year now... and the experience has been one of the worst comparing with all the other casino providers i've played on (Nektan, Whitehat etc).
What I will mainly be discussing here is the slots, as it's my go-to place. As of now, I am down £6000 on their site, despite only doing 50-80 pence spins. It's evident that they're auto responding to a lot of the negative reviews with the 'Random number generator' nonsense, but its evident after playing here for some time that these are not genuine slots, and have been tampered with in multiple ways (Auto spin removed, no space bar spin and betsizes that are not available on other casinos). If they're able to do this then what other things can they adjust within the game itself? This brings me to my game experience here, and there's been multiple sessions i've done £500 deposits and had no bonus on spin bets under £1. I understand that slots are made for fun purposes and the RTP over time means you will eventually lose even if you win initially... but Virgin games makes you question if their RTP's are genuine. This is by far the worst place for slots, and i've signed up and deposited across every UK casino.
The worst part of the gamesys group is how they lure you back in with their 'Virgin games plus' incentives, which are chosen by virgin (Basically, customers who are down significantly on the site). When I was down around 4000, I took a break. Within 2 weeks, I received an email saying I had £130 in bonus funds available on my account, and that I was part of Virgin games plus which gives more from Bonanza boxes and V points from wagering. I did come back and was up initially, the slots were very good the first day I came back. As soon as I withdrew, any other time playing it was completely dead and never had a successful win after. I believe Virgin Games are in full control of accounts that are at big net losses. There was a documentary of a woman who lost 600k on gamesys, and how they were sending her bonuses constantly to reel her back in. She had spent her entire inheritance money and Virgin didn't even request source of funds from her, which EVERY casino is required to do after a certain amount of deposits. I can confirm from my experience, they dont ask for any information when you're depositing thousands.
I'm just purely going off my experience here, it's a terrible place. If you're solely using for Bingo, it might be fine.
The only good thing I can say is the welcome bonus spins are paid in cash and if you somehow get a withdrawal, they're usually in the next day.
Please avoid.
Review of Discount Dragon
Great experience, would happily shop again.
Had a fantastic experience with YankeeBundles so far, haven't encountered any issues. I've ordered NICE bars, as well as Green & Blacks in bulk. All orders have arrived well package, with the expiry dates specified on their site.
I look forward to shopping with you again in the future!
Review of Karamba
Fantastic platform
When writing this review, i'm writing as a whole for sites on the Aspire Global Platform, rather than just for Karamba itself.
I've been playing on their sites since December 2019, and have to say that it's been consistently the best playing experience i've had online, thanks to their consistent match bonuses, fantastic variety of games etc. Across their sites, they offer 100% new customer bonuses and free spins with a small minimum deposit of either £10 or £20 (dependant on the site). Match bonuses have a low wagering of 35x, and there's not a large number of games that are restricted when you have bonus funds.
It did take me a while to get verified on a few of the sites (Standard with all casinos), but once sorted the withdrawals were getting processed very quickly into my neteller, no hassle involved.
I've just had a fantastic few months on Aspire, but has come to a temporary halt as they've requested proof of wealth documentation (Due to the numerous deposits & withdrawals) and still awaiting a response, as well as an issue I encountered where I deposited on 3 of their sites, they were declined but the money did leave my Neteller and hasn't been refunded, but once sorted will remove this segment of the review.
Thanks and hopefully look forward to playing with you again soon!

Review of Bcasino
Terrible
Bcasino is one of those sites with very generous bonuses, but behind closed doors have very restricting Terms & Conditions and poor return percentages. On Tuesdays, they offer 100% match bonuses for new & existing customers on a £20 min deposit, which is fantastic as most casinos only offer these on a 1st-3rd deposit. However, when you thoroughly read the T&C's, you'll realise that the majority of their games are excluded and not allowed whilst you have wagering. One of the biggest restrictions being that they've banned ALL megaways games (Yes... all) from being played with bonus funds... I mean I thought it was bad enough when Aspire Global has a 50% wagering on megaways... but 0% contribution is just outrageous. That and a lot of blueprints, and top rated games from thunderkick etc are all not allowed when you have a bonus active. This is the reason why they offer low 30x wagering on bonus funds, as most of the games you can play on have poor RTP's and are overall poor games. They've purposely banned Megaways so you don't have a fighting chance of beating the wagering.
Just from my experience on this site, my win rate has been appalling and seems to be very stingy with winnings. This is funny, as someone noticed how similar bCasino looks to Tallmountain group casinos, which are renowned scams that offer 400% match bonuses, they can offer these match bonuses as their slots don't pay anything back! You usually find when casinos are throwing these match bonuses out, that their slots are appalling with returns... and this is the case with bCasino.
If you're lucky enough to win with main balance before going into bonus funds, you can cashout when you've contacted their support team to remove the bonus funds from your account... but why can't they just allow customers to remove the bonuses manually, and have to rely on their email team to remove this, which can sometimes be time consuming due to the recent slow email response times.
I strongly advise to stay away from this site, just based off my overall experience. I have deposited many of times and there's only been a very rare number of occasions that i've doubled my deposit, let alone having a big win. Try paying out more bCasino.

Review of Videoslots
Videoslots, one to avoid
I'm honestly speechless at how appauled I am with Videoslots. I signed up to these a while back, as they were doing a 100 percent match bonus. I thought this worked like most casino sites, where you also have bonus funds to play with. However, this is not the case as this match bonus is released as a cash reward when youve wagered your main balance. I understand Leovegas group works like this as well, but they should make this more clear for new customers.
Before I dig into the huge issues with Videoslots, i will give them credit for the huge variety of games they have to offer, including some rare greentube games which many casinos lack. Their payout speeds are fast as well, and are usually approved within 5 minutes.
Now we get into the issues... Where do I start? They try entice customers with their reward system, where you receive trophies for playing on casino games, and these boost your xp to level up and get spins on their wheel of jackpots. The problem is, from my experience is that their slots simply don't pay, and a lot of their slots have poor return percentages. Its important to check their payouts percentage page before playing a particular game, as you cannot simply go off the standard RTP, as every site differs. Apparently, the rtp on legacy of dead (Play N Go) is 94.51% on Videoslots, which is average, and certainly not the best RTP as Unibet and other casinos offer 96.51% on the same game. HOWEVER, Videoslots show on their payout percentage page that they have a 92.9% return on legacy, even though on the game it shows 94.51. Extremely misleading and something you should always check. The reason they have such appauling return percentages is to compensate for the wheel of jackpots, where they try make customers feel like they're getting rewarded with free cash rewards, battle of slots credit, free spins and a chance to win one of their jackpots. You've got to ask yourself, who's pockets are being unloaded to payout these wheel jackpots and free cash with no wagering? It's pretty self explanatory...
Their battle of slots feature is interesting in the sense that it allows players to win free spins and money with their freeroll competitions that happen on an hourly basis. But Videoslots are renowned for having fake players winning the top rewards, and always being 'anonymous' players... Always found this shady and would stay clear from the buy in competitions, as you simply will not win against bots. Always worth trying the freeroll games however, as theres always a chance you can win some free spins, as well as try out new slot games. A nice incentive if you play for free.
Another thing to mention is that they tried enticing me recently with free spins sent to my account for a slot called 'icy wilds'. I login to the account and the game came up with an error, loaded back up and the spins were no longer there.
Overall, I think this is just a terrible casino, and can only recommend for the battle of slots freerolls and maybe their jackpot games, as most casinos dont offer match bonuses for jackpot slots. Other than that, I'd stay well clear, there's considerably better sites out their such as those from genesis group, or aspire global.
0 stars if possible, shady business.
Review of BingoPort
A fantastic casino cashback site
I've been on bingoport for around 4 months now, and I can genuinely say this is the best gambling cashback site i've used. They offer generous payouts for deposits on a large variety of casinos and bingo sites, and you're not having to wait months for payouts unlike bigger cashback sites such as Topcashback and Quidco.
The cashback is given in the form of bingoport points, which can be used to redeem physical items and digital items such as paypal and Amazon gift cards. It's very similar to swagbucks with their swagpoint system.
Should you have any issues such as a missing cashback claim, their email support respond swiftly and if you've completed the offer correctly, they'll manually apply the points to your account. I've never had to wait more than a week for a manual claim, a huge improvement to other sites which can take up to 6 months for a claim to credit.
Rewards i've claimed have always been paid on time with no problems.
Thanks for the great service. It's a good incentive if you want to play on quality casinos with less risk involved.

Review of Fastway Ireland
Defining terrible
I'm not really sure how large businesses such as Amazon have these as a courier for Ireland... it's insulting. I've had multiple items handled by Fastway, and every time it's happened, i've always run into a problem. You usually find when an item from UPS (Iparcel) is delivering your item, they hand it over to Fastway to deliver the item. The issue with this being, they never provide you with their tracking number, unless you contact them on the phone to request it... how cryptic is this? Why should the buyer have to contact via the phone to request information that should be provided to you, it's ridiculous!
Anyway, i've had a TV handled by fastway a month back, and it was the worst delivery experience i've had in a long time. I had filed a police report, as Amazon advised me to do so as the tracking showed it was 'delivered'. Turns out, it was delivered to the fastway depot, who supposedly couldn't find our address for 2 weeks?!? I had gone on live chat on amazon and provided my landline, email etc, and they didn't contact me once... yet i'm the one responsible here?
It was eventually delivered, after going back and forth via their slow email system. Unfortunately for a lot of us in Ireland, we don't have a choice in regards to who delivers our parcels. Sometimes it's An post, sometimes it's DPD (These have been great for me), and then there's Fastway...
All I can recommend, is if an item is sent via UPS on amazon and shows as delivered, to contact iparcel and request a Fastway tracking number right away.
Absolutely atrocious.
Review of OhMyDosh!
A worthy competitor to Topcashback & Quidco
This is a fantastic cashback site, and a worthy competitor to the mainstream cashback sites such as Topcashback and Quidco. The cashback rates are exceptional, especially for categories such as Gambling, where they essentially match your first deposits on a variety of sites. They're great for general shopping as well, with payout speeds being roughly 60 days based on my experience (Much faster than Quidco, which can take anywhere from 3-6 months!).
They do daily £10 giveaways to random customers. I've not won anything as of today, but I think it's a great incentive.
I can strongly recommend this site, to be used in conjunction with Topcashback, you'll never shop without them!
Thanks,
James

Review of Complete Savings
The BEST cashback site
Definitely the best cashback site available online, offering 10% cashback on some of the largest stores such as Argos, Currys etc. Very fast cashback verification and withdrawals, never had any issues. There's tons of gift cards to choose from, some even with a 20% discount!
Can't recommend this site enough.
