Let me say straight off that "visually speaking" Players Only has one of the most awesome looking online casino websites in the business. Their realistic looking animations do a great job of putting you in the shoes of a player as he strolls around the casino floor, almost always running into a stunning model who serves him a drink or cigar. Yes, this site is unashamedly targeted squarely at the male members of our population (just visit the cashier to see what I mean).

A Variety of Betting Options and No Downloads

Players Only has been online in one form or another since 1997, and their site has grown to encompass a Sportsbook, Horse Racing and online Poker in addition to the online casino. All games at the casino can be played inside a browser window, so there is no software to download and install, and you can play on a Mac too.

Limited and slow banking options

The deposit options available at Players Only are limited - you have a choice of credit card or cash transfer, and Western Union transfers. Likewise, Players Only has only two withdrawal options - direct to a US bank checking account using eCheck, or a cashier's check sent by mail.

In addition, as you can see in the comments section below we have received several complaints about slow payments, delays and generally poor service. We recommend giving Players Only a miss.

This casino is geared toward smaller bets. Once bets increase to over 25.00, the software changes dramatically and the house wins repeatedly. It is apparent that the software swings into the house's favor for large bettors.

Thanks for the feedback. Do you have any evidence to back up this claim? We take this sort of thing very seriously, so if you can prove what you are saying then please by all means post it here.

Alright well over these last week I got some things figured out. The reason my bankroll was gone was because I tried dumping a couple thousand to myself on cake because their cashouts are very quick. However I got caught doing this and they suspended my account after calling support they reinstated it. I am currently still waiting for my check which was a bad batch I guess and is lost somewhere. On November 3rd I cashed out using Use my wallet and I have still not receive money in my account yet. All these problems I am told are due to their processors and they've been telling me their are many procedures to getting this money to the US. I keep you updated.

Thanks for clarifying that. I emailed you on November 2 offering to help you but have not received a response. Please keep us updated.

The comment from the casino about payment processors is true. Lately we've had a few reports from US players across a variety of casinos about receiving bounced cheques - even from rock solid stable casino groups that always pay on time. The reason is that they must use payment processors that skirt the edges of the UIGEA law to pay their players. Sometimes these processors are shut down within a couple of weeks, which is why the players receive bad cheques. The casinos are then forced to reissue a new cheque through a different payment processor. This sort of hassle may be part of the reason that many of the microgaming casinos have decided to pull out of the US market this week. Hopefully some sanity will prevail with regards the legal situation after the election of a new government, but I think they probably have much bigger fish to fry at the moment.

alright well the use of use my wallet method seems to be the best way to cashout right now. I cashed out via UMW on November 3rd and it hit my UMW account on the 12th so only 9 days. Then from UMW to my bank account only took 28 hrs I couldnt believe it. Use my wallet is definately the way to go. To receive this cashout method you have to be invited so Email support. I think you have to have deposited at least $500 and have been a member for over 3 months but im not sure. Today the 14th I put another withdrawal using UMW of 7k so ill keep you updated on how this one turns out. My check still has not come but they keep reassuring me that there doing everything in their power to fix this situation.
