It has been awhile since we added new online gambling sites to the database, so we are catching up with several sites that probably have been out there for awhile. We strive to have as complete a database as possible, but are aware that we probably have about 50% of websites reviewed. The following sites have been reviewed and added in the past week:
None of the sites scored a TR100, but Red Flush Casino and Casino LaVida were very close, both scoring TR98. If you play at any of these online gambling sites, please come back and give us your review.

Nowadays everybody’s in search of source of positive emotions, feelings, relaxation and consequently, everybody has one’s own methods of achieving these goals. Somebody’s searching the oblivion in drugs and alcohol, or just simply prefer traveling and leaving all the troubles rest. Of course, drugs and alcohol are the extremes, but there’s another kind of a “drug” called gambling. Gambling games can be traced back to the times of great emperors, queens, pompous dresses and man wigs. We can remember that roulette as well as poker also have their own history (for instance, the first model of roulette was designed by the great scientist Pascal; poker, in its turn, appeared in the 15th century and is presumed to have the German origin). In this way, the big companies suggesting people to gamble, have been appearing.
Thus, untwining the topic in this stream, it’s worthy to mention Microgaming casinos online having started to trigger the world of gambling in 1994. Nowadays, Microgaming casinos count more than 100 casinos online, and you can actually play any game you want as online casinos have a wide range of gambling games starting from blackjack, roulette, video poker and finishing with slots.
Huge Popularity
Microgaming gained its huge popularity due to the software being released by it. For instance, a lot of gambling companies like Carmen Media Group, Fortune Lounge Group, Ladbrokes and others use the software of Microgaming company. The other, so to say, advantage of Microgaming casinos is that this company provides fair gaming, good bonuses and free plays, good customer service and plenty of other services which may attract the beginner in gambling.
Microgaming Company History
Speaking about the Microgaming company history (as it mentioned before, the company was founded in 1994), Microgaming casino is a largely developing organization. For instance, in 2009 the Microgaming poker network established the partnership with Ladbrokes Poker. In this way, Ladbrokes Poker launched the promotion campaign to give $1,000,000 each month. Enumerating the successes in Microgaming company history, it wouldn’t be out of place to admit that in 2009, the same year, the company launched another project – one of the biggest casinos, with the top jackpot in €6,374,434 which is undoubtedly recorded in the history of gambling games. In September 2010 Microgaming Casino launched its another elaboration the Lord of Rings, another video slot.
Microgaming Casino Games
As it was said above, Microgaming casino specializes on various types of games: blackjack, baccarat, poker, however, one of the most popular games is slots and video poker. There are a lot of online casinos with Microgaming slots such like Villento, Platinum play, and if to speak in general, there are about 350 web-sites running Mircogaming slots and other Microgaming casinos production. To say more about Microgaming online it should be definitely pointed out that the companies suggesting Microgaming services fight for the clients suggesting them “more or less” decent standard casino deposit guarantees up to $1,000.

We have recently updated the PlayersJet database removing those websites that are no longer with us; 24 Carat Casino, Bikini Poker, Nevada Online Casino, we hardly knew ya.
When we set out to build a useful portal of online gambling sites, the first thing we noticed was that there were a lot of online casinos, poker rooms and sportsbooks out there. Well over 1,000 in fact. After reviewing a few of them, as a new online gambler, you start wondering to yourself, is this a safe place to deposit money and why would I choose one online casino over another. Our answer was to create a Trust Ranking algorithm to help answer these questions. The PlayersJet Trust Rank considers over 30 criteria for every online casino, poker room and sportsbook and computes a score. Apparently our standards were pretty high as less than 5% of online gambling sites crossed the threshold of a 100 score.
Early in 2005 when we launched PlayersJet we faced a lot of criticism as some well respected operators were either scoring low, or had been missed altogether by our review. We defended our methodology as a guide to helping the new gambler with making their decision, as we were new to this whole industry ourselves, and after all players can provide reviews if they really like one casino over another to help with the scoring.
We score sites much like a school exam where a 90 is an A and below 60 is failing. After going through this round of updates to our database, a clear trend has shown itself, where online gambling sites scoring below 60% have disappeared with greater frequency than those with higher scores.? In fact, the scoring follows an expected trend with higher ranked sites around at a higher rate than lower ranked sites.
Casinos, Poker Rooms and Sportsbooks Remaining in Our Database:
| Grade |
Trust Rank |
Casinos |
Poker Rooms |
Sportsbooks |
| A |
90-100 |
80% |
90% |
67% |
| B |
80-89 |
62% |
76% |
57% |
| C |
70-79 |
53% |
37% |
64% |
| D |
60-69 |
48% |
54% |
40% |
| F |
Below 60 |
32% |
50% |
34% |
The one number that sticks out from the rest is the Poker Rooms scoring between 70-79, which is due to the fact that there were very few poker rooms that scored in that specific range. 19 to be exact.
When looking across all of the websites in our database we get the following aggregate results for gambling websites that remain in our database:
All Gambling Sites Remaining in Our Database
| Grade |
Trust Rank |
All Gambling Sites |
| A |
90-100 |
82% |
| B |
80-89 |
64% |
| C |
70-79 |
54% |
| D |
60-69 |
52% |
| F |
Below 60 |
39% |
The resulting trend…an online gambling website scoring below 60 is less likely to stick around than those that are receiving a passing score.
There is also a nice jump between a grade of A and B, so those sites scoring a 90 or higher can be trusted at a pretty high level of confidence. If you look at some of those sites that have disappeared in the A grade range, they have mostly been consolidated into other brands such as Havana Club into Platinum Play, Royal Vegas Poker into Poker Time, or Vegas USA and Trident Lounge into King Neptunes Casino, meaning that if you had signed up with one of the prior sites you would have been transferred over to the latter sites with deposits and winnings protected. The same can’t be said for most of the sites that were failing to begin with. Players on those websites likely were left without their deposits, winnings or recourse.

Everyone has their own strategy when they play bingo online the 75 ball bingo game. Below is a step by step method of increasing your chances of winning in deposit bingo!
When you start to play bingo the 75 ball game a ball is selected from the hopper which is numbered between 1 to 75 which is also allotted letters. You have a 1:75 probability of pulling for instance B1. From here on this strategy is going to be explained with an example for better understanding. Let’s suppose that the number that falls out of the hopper is 17. Out of those 75 balls there are actually 7 figures which finish with the number 7. So as soon as that 17 number ball fell out your odds of drawing another ball with 7 has decreased.
The likelihood of another small numbered ball to be drawn has also decreased. The likely hood of another odd number being drawn has also decreased.
The more balls that are drawn out of the hoper the less is the number of balls in the hopper. So how does this affect your bingo playing strategy? 38 is the average of 75; so the lesser the number of balls are in the hopper the nearer you are to number 38. The idea here is to understand that the more balls that are pulled the nearer you are to the possibility of getting the ball you need.
The real strategy of winning in deposit bingo is far easier than having to grapple complex mathematical equations. The explanation above is an attempt to give you an idea as to how you need to decide your bingo card. Since bingo balls are being pulled out there is a level of number blends that range from 0 to 9 both odd and even numbers and even low and high figures.
Take a look at your bingo card and find out if your figures are distributed evenly over both the high and the low rows both odd and even digits. Pay attention to lines that have a free space and how they are outlined.
This strategy uses the law of probably to help you play and win. It’s impossible to forecast which ball will fall out next. However if your card is well spread you are in fact increasing your chances of winning.

Sports Interaction‘s Al Dannity breaks down Saturday’s College Basketball Final Four betting preview match-ups in the NCAA tournament.
 The Mid-Majors have been the story of March Madness and that tale will continue on Saturday when Butler (-120) puts a stop to Michigan State’s (+100) own miracle run. All week long the talk has been about how Tom Izzo is now the greatest coach in College Basketball because he has brought the Spartans to the Final Four in 6 of the last 12 years. Once they get there his record is not so hot however, having made it past their Saturday game only twice to date under Izzo. This year the challenge is greater than ever as while Butler is not an elite program, the Bulldogs have chewed up big name opponents with style over the past two weeks.
State plays this game minus Kalin Lucas. They managed to get past Northern Iowa and Tennessee without their star but this is a side that is stumbling through by hook or by crook. Winning tight shows tenacity but it also shows an inability to kill opponents off. Butler on the other hand is on the longest winning streak in College Basketball. The Bulldogs ripped through the lowly Horizon League schedule but then shocked everyone with the dominance they have shown on the court in the NCAA tournament. Syracuse and Kansas State couldn’t tame the Bulldogs and even if Tom Izzo had 300 Spartans on the floor I doubt Michigan State could either. Back Butler to win big with Sports Interaction.
After getting bombarded with abuse throughout the tournament for not being deserving of a #1 seed, Duke (-160) finds itself as the favorite for the Final Four. If you’re trading College Basketball stock now is the time to sell, sell, sell. Duke manhandled its opponents over the first three rounds before outsmarting Baylor in the Elite Eight. Give the Blue Devils their due, they have overcome the doubters and made it this far for the first time since 2004. If they weren’t the perennial villains of March Madness fans might almost feel sorry that they are coming up against West Virginia (+135).
The Mountaineers brought some big hammers to the hardwood against Kentucky, smothering the Wildcats’ big men with a 1-3-1 defense. WVU will have to adapt this tactic to stifle Duke’s triple-threat of Scheyer, Singler, and Smith who are far more accurate from 3-point range than Kentucky. The difference will be on the boards. Duke has been able to win the rebounding battle to date in the tournament as has certainly improved its physicality over the course of the season but the Mountaineers will be rise to the challenge. Bet on West Virginia to win big with Sports Interaction this weekend.
