And the only casino that ever screwed me over was Hype Casino..
the only casino I was never paid from, although I avoid crap casinos usally.

I just read the question, and i realized i worded it wrong,
His question was, he wanted to know if anyone who as won actually won or or they being paid by casinos to promote the casino?
Noluckneeded is paid by casinos to promote them, but not other members. 
You may think this effects how I rate the casinos, but it does not.
We would make 10X or 100X more money if we promoted the bad casinos
like RTGs. I am asked daily to promote casinos I do not like
and most do not make it to noluck.
My view is that I would rather make less money and promote the good casinos. No amount of money is worth the stress of having angry members. I started as a player. Old members remember when I joined,
and I was just a player who talked a lot. I still play, but now the casinos
pay noluck a small referral fee instead of keeping it all themselves.

my hubby thinks that some of the people who post in sites like this are house players and the casino's pay people to drop in sites like this, and just say that they won so much money.
This is very true! But not here.. although a post from a new member
a few months back did look like a "shill" post.
Casinos ask me to post the reviews they do of themselves all the time!
I tell them that is crazy and false advertising. They are called "shills".
In fact, I know of several forums like us, that are owned by casinos!
The casinos try to buy our sites all the time! If you do not believe
I am really a gambler, you do not follow noluckneeded
 I want to add that casinos have threatned to sue me on many occasions for saying bad stuff about them. Just yesterday I was told
that a post of mine calling a casino bad was "liable".
I told them they could sue me at the same place players sue
bad casinos. 
I use to feel guily about making money from noluck.. but I realized
if we did not make a little, the casinos would just get it all.
I work 12-16 hours a day and I feel I help members and
provide a good service. Plus I give away most of the money we make
in all the contests. Most of the rest I gamble. 
If it bothers anyone that noluck makes money off you,
just go to the casinos directly, without clicking a noluck link.
Then you can be assured that the casino gets all your money.
As far as land casinos- That is why I found online gambling..
I lost thousands in vegas and got busted and started playing
poker online and then found my destiny.. noluckneeded.com
To timmsa's hubby: I know the worst bets in a land casino are war, keno,
and the money wheel. The best bet is craps or blackjack. I know
the best free drink in Vegas is in the Bellagio sportsbook and
is called a stawberry julius. I know Doyle Brunson and that he plays
in Bobby's room. I know what stalling is in pool, because I gamble
on that too. I know never to take a proposition bet. I know you get a
W-2 if you hit over $1150. I know what it feels like when someone
catches a one outer on the river for a monster pot. I know to check
raise the turn and bet the river if I am bluffing. I know how to play
double double bonus VP and to hold 3 aces and draw if you are dealt
a full house. I know the pain of 10 play video poker and know
where the "back" valet is at the Bellagio. I know to surrender 16
against a 10. I know what a burger tastes like at Binions.
I know the definition of tilt. I know what a cooler is.
If you do not believe I gamble after that, I know I can not convince you.

Thanks TDTAT
I have tried to explain it to him many times, but he is the kind of person that will not believe anything that I say (even though I am his wife).
The only reason he even brought it up last night, was because he had a customer who is a manager at a land casino, and that is what that person told him.
So he got someone to agree with him, and he automatically thought that online casinos were the same.
I don't agree with the way he thinks.

timmsa, He is right about some things, but he does not realize that noluckneeded does things differently.
That is ok.. anyone who knows me knows the defination of my soul includes: GAMBLE and ACTION. I am not ashamed. I am a proud gambler.
The basic truth is half of what you hear is crap, whether it is online or in real life.
It is good to be suspicious. Make people prove their intentions with actions.
If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is, but sometimes not.

I have won at RTG, MICRO, and ISLOTS Casino's and got paid by everyone of them. The amount's any where between $200 to Over $2600.00. Some time's my wins are close to each and other's far in between. I love to play....I don't think anyone on this site would lie about winning to promote a casino.

Nerak1
it was just a discussion we got into last night and I tried to explain it to him.
And he just got someone else to back him on what he had been thinking all along.
And so he thought he would just rub it in my face.

timmsa, if he does not gamble, what he he know anyway?
Anyone who generalizes everything by what one person tells them is likely to have an opinion, but not many facts. Grouping is not good.. in so many respects.
I would do what so many smart wives do and ignore him... just kidding.
But really people who do not gamble will never understand.
I think people gambling in online casinos have been treated more fairly
than the people gambling on companies in the stock market. No one
at an online casino is telling you you will definately make money. No one
has a ponzi scheme casino that I know of, although some crap casinos do not pay.
Gambling is entertainment and nothing more. Play at good casinos and you will be fine.

I agree with everything that you all are saying.
TDTAT, I do ignore him about 90% of the time. LOL
Like I said earlier, I am just his wife, he doesn't believe anything that I say.
And then he will here the same thing from someone else and then tell me what I had already told him.
Anyways with this post, I was just trying to prove a point to him. And I made my point........lol
thanks for everyone's comments.

It is good to remember that women and men really do think differently biologically. 
There is a difference between the male and female brain anatomically.
I could go on about the science, but it would bore you. One is not better,
we just think and process thoughts differently. Search corpus callosum
on the internet.. it is larger in women so we think with both hemispheres
for many things.. men tend to think with 1.
This is why most women can't read a map and most men
can't read a face, but also why men tend to be better at math.
Also why women recover from strokes easier and
why 90% of the people in jail are men.

timmsa, It sounds like maybe your hubby is just trying to keep you from gambling online. In my opinion any manager of a casino who is willing to tell members of the public that they have tightened their machines really shouldn't be a manager. Even so land based casino are tightly regulated by gaming authority and have to adhere to strict regulations. They can not tighten the machines too much, or face fines and possibly loss of the casinos license, depending on the severity of the violation. I know someone really close to me that is a manager of table games at a land based casino, and even he doesn't know whether the casino has tightened the machines.
But in my opinion I have played both online and at land based casinos, and I seem to have better luck online. A person can make a small deposit of $25-$50 and play all night and still cash out a couple hundred, something I am unable to do at a land based casino. I hope that you two can make a compromise, maybe try a small deposit and play small bets, see what happens. Best of Luck timmsa.
