Another victim of the great MTS sell-off.

Good, less GIG/MTST casinos the better.

Speaking of which Calzone affs. are not paying at the moment, am due April's dosh, not even received March's. Get the same 'I'll contact accounts' blag each week when when I chase it on Skype.

 

[bamberfishcake]

Didnt mind Cashmio myself.

Always paid out, no quibbles and quick.

Recently opted for lower RTP on their new games so didnt play there so much.

On the whole i wouldnt have minded them staying. Live chat always seemed like a nice bunch and compensated for errors whereas some shrug you off.

 

[thr0b]

Aye. They never did manage to fix a pop up on login which every time asked if I wanted to increase my daily limit from 0.01. The limit wasn’t there, so no issues. But now they need not fix it.

I have similar on Kaboo.

Pop up alert saying i need to verify my account.

Account is fully verified, just one of them bugs that linger.

 

[YouTubeSlots]

Shadowbet closed for U.K players recently too, Along with Wishmaker casino. My bookmarks of casino sites gets smaller and smaller by the week. Suppose its a good thing for some of us

Rizk still does that to me.

 

[pinnit2014]

They started off ok - IIRC i had a few 4 reel wild desires there that probably kept me there longer than usual. Site, like most MTS (common theme), was buggy - several times it told me deposit of 100 failed, loaded new one and then found 200, common issue of bonus's not awarded, needed to go on live chat and get manually added etc - like SB, just another vanilla casino.

 

[Jono777]

Hmm so pretty soon we have a choice of...

1) OTT pathetic, intrusive SoW requests
2) Daily, steadily reducing RTP's with less and less "rewards"

or, erm, that's it!

 

[mcgameboy]

Cashmio were a decent outfit imo. Just not quite as good as some of my regular haunts.

The primary reason I didn't give them more of my custom was the WR on bonuses and free spins, which was 45x.

Live chat staff were always nice, payouts were quick, game selection was pretty good (eg they had Merkurs when a lot of other sites didn't).

Shame to see them go. I wish them well.

 

[DreamRJ]

I also used to play at Cashmio - I had no real issues with them really, withdraws was not the fasted but they did pay out in a timely manner between 1 hour and 24 hours.

Slot choices was decent, but the layout was annoying and what was my pet hate was it never remembered what your default deposit method was, so every time you deposit you had to re-select the neteller option every time. It always had visa as default. It got irritating and frustrating when doing small deposits in quick succession.

As much it is a shame to see another leave the UK market, I will not miss them that much..........

 

[bamberfishcake]

they had Merkurs when a lot of other sites didn't).

I want to try them a bit more. What sites do you know of?

 

[colinsunderland]

Merkur?
LeoVegas have some, Casumo, Novibet, and odd ones are served through blueprint at some sites, for example, Coral have Magic Mirror II
A word of warning, they can be absolutely brutal. I've played 50 auto spins more than once and got 3/4x stake back, but they can be mental too, had £300+ from 20p stakes on various games quite a few times. Got £750ish from Magic Mirror 2 on a 20p stake not that long ago.

Special thanks for the word of caution!

 

[colinsunderland]

Special thanks for the word of caution!

You can't even tell when they are close to paying, when I got the £750 not long ago, it was the 49th spin, and out of the £9.60 before that I had had 50p back, 5 x 10p wins. But I've had £300+ wins within the first 5 spins too, or when the rtp from the first 50 spins has been close to 100%. I tend to only play them now if I've built the balance up and I don't mind losing some of my winnings

 

[mcgameboy]

I want to try them a bit more. What sites do you know of?

The only ones I knew of were Rizk and GUTS (I don't have accounts at any of the sites that Colin mentioned).
But then the Merkur slots were made unavailable for UK players on those two sites.

I know that UK players can play Merkurs, because I have seen The Bandit play Magic Mirror 2, which is available to UK players at Sky Vegas and perhaps Bet365 as well.

And I would 100% re-iterate Colin's advice on approaching the playing of them with caution. They are proper high variance. Probably like Novos on steroids.

 

[Harry_BKK]

I want to try them a bit more. What sites do you know of?

WHG sites have about a dozen Merkur games. No Magic Mirror though.

I think the most complete Merkur catalogue is at Energy Casino. Checked it with a UK IP right now and the games show, not a guarantee though that you can play them.

 

[JGslots]

Didn’t Cashino used to have all the Merkur slots?

EDIT* Just checked and they’ve binned them all off.

Same!! Calzone are definitely sound as a pound play there regular, verification no problem withdrawls in the bank within half an hour sites smooth as well, crying shame isn’t it soon there will only be paddy power bet365 etc, although they pay out quickly luck is hard to find on the big bookmaker sites most of the time deposits gone in seconds.

They were a Merkur/iSoftBet,Greentube casino. In 2018 they were taken over by Playtech.

Agree.

Even though their bonus terms arnt the best i found their reward system amongst the best for me.

Can save the Calzone Cash for the gold spins and win free spins worth £1.

 

[TheSchwad]

Cals Cash at

Agree.

Hope Casino Calzone don't go. I save up my Cals Cash till I have 700,000 so can buy ten goes at the Gold £1 free spins wheel. Normally takes about two months to build up the tokens. I've never failed to get at least £200 back in bonus money from the free spins. And the beauty is each set is wagered out individually, so can normally get a cashout from it.

Did you ever get paid from them? I remember you was chasing for ages.

Yes, they always paid the comm, just had a bizarre way of invoicing.

 

[miikapekka]

While checking last months commissions I noticed that my Casino Calzone affiliate account was closed. I contacted them via email, but got no reply. Then I added them on Skype and they reopened the account, never received an explanation why it was closed in the first place. Also had to contact Rizk because they were late on payments, but that money was received so all good.

 

[bamberfishcake]

@Luckyscouser45 speak of the devil....

Each Thursday, as you probably know, Casino Calzone do deposit £30 and get a spin on silver calzone wheel. Only got 0 spins but for the first time ever filled the bar on Goldilocks for almost x100.

Neat little £50 extra to toy with....

You've had Aprils commissions from Rizk or March's?

 

[dunover]

You've had Aprils commissions from Rizk or March's?

I'm due some from April, not received as of yet in May.

 

[miikapekka]

@colinsunderland March which was paid last week. April ended on negative balance so they can take however long they want :----)

 

[dunover]

You've had Aprils commissions from Rizk or March's?

@colinsunderland

I'm thinking there's something amiss here. Rather than trawl through the terms, Calzone, Guts and Rizk are all MTST? They have failed to meet payment dates as per their terms we signed up to, or have they not? I ask because I am owed a sum earned in March for Calzone, am getting fobbed-off each week when chasing it up, and even worse a decent sum from April from Calzone. They used to pay on the button around 2 weeks into the following month, but lately I have had to enquire as to where the money is just before the end of the month it's due, then it's paid. Now though, I am getting talk-to-the-hand for the overdue payment in respect of March, so hell knows when I'd get April's commission.

The same applies to Rizk/Guts who were always like clockwork and paid about 12-15 days into the following month. I am owed a decent sum from Rizk/Guts in respect of April so I am guessing this is going to end up the same way as Calzone - overdue or even unpaid within the contractual period. If that's the case, we could have a cash-flow issue with the MTST aff. programmes. I have already Skyped Calzone and told them I have removed their ads until this issue is settled, would you recommend the same for Rizk/Guts?

AFAIK - MTST is still GiG owned as they sold the B2C part of the business only.

Rizk/Guts/Kaboo/Thrills are operated by Zecure Gaming Ltd. which is now part of Betsson AB.

Uh, yeah..

 

[Harry_BKK]

Uh, yeah..

AFAIK - MTST is still GiG owned as they sold the B2C = As far as I know - MT SecureTrade is still Gaming Innovation Group owned as they sold the Business To Customer part of the business only.

But its hard to find a good reason to post the encabulator video anywhere, so i had to take my chance.

I rarely get a payment from them, I last promoted them over 2 years ago so only have a couple of active customers, I think my last payment was around 3 months ago, but I seem to remember you are right, usually by about the 15th, so we will possibly get paid today. Thats from GIG affiliates though, so don't know about Calzone, don't have an account with them.
I don't understand why GIG affiliates are still running for Rizk/GUTS, you would have thought Betsson would be running it now? Possibly the delay is that GIG are invoicing Betsson, then paying affiliates when they get paid, causing a delay. I'm not sure I would remove them just yet if I were you, Calzone yes, but Rizk/GUTS aren't really late yet, I'll see if I can dig out usual payment dates for them at some point today

Well, just received this mass e-mail @colinsunderland :


Please see below message from Casino Calzone Management:

"We are fully aware that a number of affiliate payments are currently outstanding. We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Supplier payments have been held back on the advice of our advisors due to an ongoing issue. We had initially expected this to be resolved some time ago yet it has unfortunately dragged on for much longer than expected. We expect to be able to provide an update by the end of next week at the very latest (22 May 2020). Your patience and support is much appreciated."

I would be asking what issue. If its a B2B problem then thats between them and their supplier, they should still pay you. If its a problem with stats or something then the affiliate should be informed. I haven't had anything from GIG like that, but then they are a different program so might not be affected by whatever issue it was. I really hate it when they do shit like that. How come they only tell people when the payments are late, any decent business would reach out either before payment was due and say there might be a delay, or within a few days. I had a few emails back in the day from Skybet saying a key member of staff was on holiday, but was due back on the xx, and payments would be made then, with an apology that payments would be a few days late, and they were always sent 48-72 hours before payment was due.

I am bank transfer for GIG so wouldn't get it until next week - I assume that's April's commission you were paid, not March's late? I wasn't due anything in from March, only last month.

LOL...just got mine in the bank so all good! Seems it's restricted to Calzone as per my copied e-mail above then.

 

[Luckyscouser45]

I hope not. They are the best of their bunch for me.

Sadly, quite certain they will follow though.

What is strange to me and quite a contradiction, no usual reload bonus the weekend gone or the usual Thursday bonus, chat said due to Covid19 there’s no promotions, yet still spamming me with new slot announcements and prompting deposit soon as login I think that defeats the object. I don’t see how reload bonuses cause harm if the player hasn’t already shown any signs or problem gambling on the site. Takes the piss to then spam
Me with new games and telling you the max win and asking you try it seems they using covid as an excuse to not give any bonuses

 

[Luckyscouser45]

Baffles me no promos but spam me daily with stuff like this surely this defeats the purpose of them
Saying no
Promo because of Covid19 cynical basically saying no bonuses but we will send enticing emails about new games yeah very responsible

I didnt want to say anything but had noticed too.

I think they are on their way also but what do we know.

They may be holding off because of the recent advice like they said.

Hopefully they stay in the UK as i like to keep pushing them. Hard to find a better place to play than Casino Calzone for me.

Top RTP across the board. Smooth site. Decent CS from my xp and like we said the rewards are not bad.

Yep I fear the same too, crying shame if that’s the case as all the above mentioned just have to play it by ear and wait and see
