I think Kasino King is onto something here - these guys definitely deserve a mention for their lack of player rapport.

I'd like to see 3Dice for 'Best Casino', 'Best New Casino' and 'Best Customer Service'
Instead of 'overrated' maybe a category for the casino that inspires the most excitement in its players : )

What other casino can a USA player play at and receive not just a check, but a USPS money order 2 days after requesting a cashout? That says it all right there.

With due respect, this doesnt make too much sense. So a number of casinomeister members give the thumbs up to a casino only to be watered down by some others. Many members here are eteran players and their opinions ought to be alued, if not treasured.

that 3Dice was a bad casino; it's just that if you read some of the posts around here you'd think that Christ was resurrected and bestowed 3Dice on us all as a holy treasure.
As to the previous post by winbig:
Their graphics are decently good, "awesome" is exactly what I mean by "overrated".
"Great" bonus rounds are your opinion, I think that the two original ones (Squirrel Pike and Medival Mohlah) are below average and a little hokey; the other games use free spins with a multiplier, hardly original.
The slots in themselves are indeed original, since the software is proprietary (for now), "well thought out" is a matter of opinion (in my opinion, average for my tastes), although I will say that MM is a rather fun slot, especially with the multiplying wild suns; Happy Valley, Super Suits, and the King Tut slots are all ery b-o-r-i-n-g (in my opinion) unless you get the free spins.

The best tasting cereal for 2007 should go to Apple Jacks in my opinion... followed by a close second for Froot Loops. Honourable mentions go to Corn Pops, Honeycomb, and Frankenberry.

So their awesome graphics, great bonus rounds for slots, well thought out and exclusive slots, great CS, and ery fast WD's don't mean a thing? If that's reason for being over-rated, then I wish all casinos were.

BBKPoker is referring to the thread at http://www.casinomeister.com/forums/...t=beware+aka23 , which was originally titled "Beware of [my full name]" instead of "Beware of aka23". I was also threatened with a ridiculous lawsuit and faced with other issues that I will not list here.
Prime's current sign-up bonus has the highest wagering I have ever seen at a Microgaming casino -- 80xB on slots or 800xB blackjack wagering. I get the impression that Prime has unique beliefs about expecting nearly all players to make a loss on the sign-up, which may partially explain some of their unique decisions over the past year.

Prime casinos going back fetching players winnings from their Neteller accounts was an instant-classic, also my ote for the Worst casino 2007 incident.

3Dice has got a lot of support - not played there myself and sure its worthy, but I would tend to think of them as a nominee for Best Newcomer. For a Best Casino award I think there needs to be a longer track record myself.

Sure there are a few casinos that meet the standards of being listed on the accredited section, but have not been listed yet. But it would be tough to give them a "Best Casino" award since many things are taken into account which include being involved with player issues and providing services to both players, webmasters, and to the industry as a whole.
By the way, thanks all for giving me input and ideas for this year's awards. I've been asked a few times about when they will be announced - traditionally, I compile and write everything up during Xmas break and publish this the second week of January.
Stay tuned

Do you mean a casino that has yet to be accredited? If so, there might not be a contradiction because when Bryan accredits them, there are steps that he follows including meeting with them. If for some reason , not all procedures had been followed thru YET, this does not mean that they do not comply to the strict standards required of them. Without touching on 3Dice for obvious reasons, casino Splendido immediately springs to mind. there have been much praise lavished on them yet they havent been accredited yet.
