I've not seen anything here about my casino of choice, so I thought I'd write something as I believe they deserve more support. I certainly believe that it is in players' interests to play there. After playing there I will certainly never again play normal house edge games at a casino.
I mainly play poker and I play mainly at Betraiser because of the zero rake, but when I do play casino games I play at Betraiser's sister casino, Betvoyager. The main reason I play there is that they offer some unique benefits to the player. The main ones are without-house-edge games, a wide range of bet sizes on tables, and randomness control.
They have a huge selection of without-edge games; every conceivable version of the usual card and table games, plus no edge slots and video poker. Before discovering Betvoyager I used to play the zero-edge games at Betfair. But Betfair's ridiculous and petty betting range and minimum bet restrictions made it very unattractive. For instance, at Betfair the minimum evens bet on roulette is €2 and in addition the minimum total outside bet per spin is €5, and you can't offset evens bets to overcome this. At Betvoyager roulette there are no such restrictions. You can bet as little as €0.01 on any bet and you can spin the wheel with just that €0.01 on the table!
They also offer this randomness control feature which I haven't seen anywhere else. The idea is that many players are suspicious that they feel they are being cheated by the casino when they start increasing their bet sizes. They feel that the casino causes them to lose more big bets than small bets. What this feature does is allow the player to save the checksum for the result before they place their bet. Then check that checksum against the result after they have bet. They then know that the result was pre-determined before the bet size was known. Players can even change the result themselves before they play. Of course they can't see what that result will be, but they can save the checksum and check it after the play. Pretty neat, huh?
I think one of the reasons that Betvoyager are not so well known is that they don't offer bonuses. Most players today seem to want to play with a bonus, even though that bonus will usually have a play-through requirement that offers negative expected value against the house edge. Personally, I hate having my money tied into a play-through requirement and to be at the mercy of the whims of the casino. And if that bonus still is negative expected value for me, then what's the point? Better to play no-house-edge games and not have your money tied-up in red tape and be unable to withdraw your winnings when you want to. Well that's how I feel about it anyway.
As far as security is concerned. Well I've played there for over a year now. I cash out to Moneybookers regularly. Payments have always been processed within 24 hours. I've seen only positive feedback about them in the forums too.
As for negatives? Well, support is a bit ineffective. Game graphics are fine, but a little twee. You can check them out in play mode without signing-up. They're not unpleasant though - just different. No bonuses (although I don't see that as a negative). That's about it really.
To sum up: Betvoyager have come up with some imaginative initiatives and offer very good value for the player. Stop donking off your money at these rip-off house-edge casinos and give 'em a try.

I played the multiball roulette. I think I got ripped off. I've never seen fall out like that. Black 13 in a row.

Nolan, I have just read this all review which you have shown here. And I really like but as I think that ahe Randomness Control system allows players to evaluate the randomness of the game’s results. And I also believe that this kind of control allows players to confirm the true randomness of numbers the ball lands.
