The best Neteller casinos sites ranked
Casino sign

Gambling online has never been easier with thousands of options to choose from, especially here in the UK. Whilst the majority of online gambling providers are safe and reliable, there are plenty of sites that may not take your financial security as seriously as they should do.

Neteller, a global payments provider with over 23 million account holders around the planet is an eWallet that gives you, the consumer, an added layer of security when withdrawing and depositing cash with an online casino.

If an online casino accepts Neteller payments it’s usually a good sign that they can be trusted with your sensitive personal data and cash. In this article, we’ll take a look at the top Neteller online casinos according to trusted www.bestcasinosites.net.

5. Mansion Casino

They may not be one of the biggest names in the British online gambling market, but Mansion is certainly one of the best. Boasting three separate sites that offer a variety of games from casino classics to baccarat and roulette to poker and slots, Mansion covers all the bases of online gambling.

They pride themselves on offering customers a bespoke and traditional gambling experience that is as close as possible to land-based gambling. In addition to its wide selection of games, Mansion is dedicated to taking the safety of your information seriously.

That’s why they’ve enabled Neteller transactions on all their sites and invested a serious wedge of money into an industry-leading customer support team. If you’re a football fan you might be familiar with Mansion’s branding as they have previously sponsored Bournemouth, Crystal Palace, Manchester City and Tottenham Hotspur.

4.  Play Ojo

Have you ever been sucked into an enticing sign-up offer with an online casino only to find out that you missed the bit in the small print that said the offer was only available after you’ve deposited £250? If you have, you’re not alone, sneaky small print terms and conditions have been the bane of online gamblers lives for some time.

Play Ojo was set-up as a direct response to the underhand and sneaky techniques used by big-name providers to trick people into signing-up. Their mission statement is all about honesty and transparency, they want to make your online gambling experience as straightforward as possible.

They also take a keen interest in making sure you feel safe and secure when you deposit money with them. Neteller payments and withdrawals are actively encouraged by Play Ojo and if you ever have any issues gambling with them you can easily contact a friendly member of staff in next to no time.

3. Casino.com

If you want a back to basics, traditional online casino with a wide range of games on offer then Casino.com is for you. Slots are this provider’s speciality and they have over 300 to choose from for players.

Aesthetically, it isn’t one of the most visually appealing online casinos on the internet, but their owners would probably say that their range of games are more important than how their website looks.

Customer support is taken incredibly seriously by Casino.com who offer around the clock support for their players. Neteller and other eWallet payments are accepted by the site too so you always know your sensitive data is in safe hands.

2. Ladbrokes

With estimated yearly revenues of £1,507.9 million and an employee based of 16,685 Ladbrokes is undoubtedly the biggest gambling provider in the UK. To many punters, the brand is synonymous with sports betting, but their online casino is actually the jewel in their crown.

Their selection of casino games cannot be beaten by any online provider here in the UK and perhaps in the world. Ladbrokes are also incredibly generous, offering new players a £50 sign-up bonus after a minimum £10 bet.

Midway through the last decade the company came under fierce criticism from public commentators and government officials for its perceived lack of commitment to customer care.

In a bid to reverse this, Ladbrokes have invested heavily into improving their customer support and introducing payment options like Neteller has been a key part of this. Now, they are one of the most trusted providers in the country, but they are not number one…

1.888 Casino

Set-up 23 years ago by Israeli entrepreneurs Avi and Aaron Shaked and Shay and Ron Ben-Yitzhak, 888 is one of online gambling’s old hands. In its early days the company was originally planned to only cater for online poker players.

However, over the course of noughties 888 expanded into sports betting and online casino gambling too.  The latter is now the company’s main area of focus and it delivers not only in terms of gaming quality but also in customer support and security.

Unlike most of its competitors, 888 develops all of its own gaming software and as you would expect from a company with that degree of technological knowledge, their security software is second to none.

Neteller payments can be easily processed with 888 and you can even make deposits and withdrawals in cryptocurrency if you want the highest level of security available.

10pm pub curfew: Britain to start drinking one hour earlier

Britain’s drinkers will head to the pub one hour earlier than normal from Thursday, it was announced today.

New coronavirus restrictions mean pubs must shut at 10pm – but boozers have come up with a fiendish plan to overcome the hurdle.

They will start drinking one hour earlier.

Pub bore Lorraine Fisher, 34, explained: “It’s a little inconvenient but closing the pubs an hour early won’t make any difference.

“We will all just start drinking earlier to make up for it.”

Those that can’t go to the pub early because, for example, they have a job where they do not “work” from home, also have a plan.

They will increase the number of drinks per hour in the pub so they can get as shit-faced as normal.

Landlord Steve Walshe, 49, said: “Quite how the government thinks a 10pm pub curfew is going to make a blind bit of difference is beyond me.

“Coronavirus has no idea what time it is; it doesn’t get worse after 10pm.”

Newmarket stalwart James Eustace to retire and hand son Harry the reins

James Eustace will hand the keys to his Newmarket base over to son, Harry Eustace and step down from his role as head trainer in 2021.

Having spent the last 30 years training horses at Park Lodge Stables, James Eustace has decided the time is right to retire. Eustace, who turned 60 earlier this year, will now hand over the reins to his son, Harry, who’s spent the last four years serving as assistant to Classic-winner trainer, William Haggas.

“I’ve had a wonderful time with William and Maureen Haggas but have decided the pandemic was not a good enough reason not to start training,” Harry Eustace told the Racing Post when the news broke.

“I went to Australia to work for Lee Freedman and Peter Snowden before enrolling on a course at the Irish National Stud. I was then assistant to Chris Wall and spent two years with Jeremy Noseda before going to the US to work for Christophe Clement where I ran a barn in Kentucky.

“It’s been long in the planning to take over from Dad and I’m very much looking forward to the challenges ahead.”

Harry has plenty to live up to, as he plans to take control of his father’s successful operation early next year. James Eustace trained multiple pattern-race winners during his time at the helm, both here in the UK and on the global stage.

Eustace was thrust into the spotlight at Royal Ascot in 1998, when Refuse To Lose won the Royal Hunt Cup under jockey James Tate. Refuse To Lose would go on to claim black-type at Wolverhampton the following season, winning the Listed Wulfrun Stakes.

Rapscallion handed James Eustace his first Group winner in 2001, collecting the Horris Hill Stakes at Newbury during a prolific juvenile campaign. Rapscallion’s younger brother, Orcadian claimed the St. Simon Stakes in 2004, before going on to represent Eustace at the Cheltenham Festival, finishing 13th behind Noland in the 2006 Supreme Novices’ Hurdle.

Australian-bred War Artist took Eustace and his team to some huge flat racing festivals across the world. After placing in the 2008 running of the July Cup at Newmarket, War Artist powered to victory in the Goldene Peitsche out in Germany, before travelling to France to win the Prix de Petit Couvert.

War Artist went on to score at the 2010 Dubai World Cup meeting, winning the Group Three Al Shindagha Sprint under Olivier Peslier, before being moved to Alain De Royer-Dupre’s stable in Chantilly.

“All my owners have been informed and they are staying on board and are very positive about it.” James Eustace said, when he revealed his decision to the press.

“I know Harry has had other offers to set up in Australia himself after taking Addeybb over there this year but I’m delighted he’s sticking to the plan. Frankly, it’s his time.”

Hackers expose The Queen’s recent Amazon orders
The Queen of England

By Jane Seymour, Royal Editor

The fascinating contents of The Queen’s Amazon account have been revealed by hackers.

Details of Her Majesty’s online purchases, leaked to the media, including the Suffolk Gazette, make astonishing reading. Since January this year, she has ordered the following off Amazon:

  • 3 x Corgi dog beds
  • 24 x bottles of Glitter Hendricks Gin
  • 1 x Horse Racing Flat Form Book 2020
  • 1 x How to Stop Losing Your Sh*t With Your Kids book
  • 1 x Finding Freedom, the Harry and Meghan biography – RETURNED
  • 1 x cordless mini vacuum cleaner
  • 50 x personalised ballpoint pens
  • 1 x garden golf net
  • 1 x Nigella Lawson How to be a Domestic Goddess book

The Amazon account, under the name ElizabethIIW, is registered to Windsor Castle, and all packages were delivered to the main entrance.

The leak shows Her Majesty pays by a platinum credit card and has an Amazon Prime account for free next day delivery.

Online shopping expert Lorraine Fisher, 34, said: “It’s comforting to know that The Queen is just like the rest of us and orders stuff off Amazon.

“And, like us, sometimes we don’t like something and send it back; it seems Her Majesty did this with the Harry and Meghan book.”

An investigation was under way today to establish how the hackers accessed such a high-profile Amazon account.

An Amazon insider said: “Our accounts are secure and we do not believe this ever happened.”

Is Santiago Munez set to return to St James’ Park?

Is Santiago Munez set to return to St James’ Park?
St James Park Newcastle united stadium

For much of the last two decades, Newcastle have endured a period of instability. With proposed takeovers falling through and various protests taking place, the Magpies’ faithful appeared to be at their wits’ end and their club seemingly stuck in a period of mediocrity.

However, Mike Ashley looks to have stumbled across a much-loved icon capable of transforming the four-time league winners’ fortunes. Of course, it’s none other than the actor who played Santiago Munez’s in Goal!, Kuno Becker. So, let’s consider if this would be a sensible appointment. 

A movie star with tremendous pulling power  

Upon the release of the film in 2005, the character of Munez became something of a cult hero in the football world. Newcastle’s best player since the turn of the millennium enjoyed an illustrious career, albeit away from St James’ Park, winning the Champions League on numerous occasions with Real Madrid alongside the likes of Cristiano Ronaldo, Guti, and Zinedine Zidane. Perhaps most impressively, the Mexican scored a Puskas Award-contending goal on his debut for Madrid.  

Unfortunately, because Munez is a fictional creation, Ashley can’t hire the on-screen icon to lead the Magpies transfer business under Steve Bruce. However, it’s thought that the trophy-winning player’s actor, Becker, could be in line for the job. Best known for his role as the Mexican footballer, the 42-year-old doesn’t appear ready to part ways with Munez, having written a script for a fourth installment of the franchise.

Crucially, what Becker lacks in real-world football knowledge and negotiating skills, he more than makes up for in inspiration and nostalgia. In becoming a big-screen hero of Newcastle United, it’s not beyond the realms of possibility that he could return the Magpies to the pinnacle of English football if appointed as the club’s sporting director.  

Callum Wilson couldn’t hide his delight at following in Munez’s footsteps 

Even though it would be an unprecedented move in world football, there are already indications that such a decision would be advantageous to Newcastle’s future. In the 2020 summer transfer window, the Magpies were competing with Aston Villa for the signature of former Bournemouth striker, Callum Wilson. In making his decision to move to St. James’ Park, the 28-year-old cited the importance of Becker’s character, Munez.

By his own admission, Wilson admitted that, after watching Goal! with his son, he decided that Newcastle were the club for him. While Becker’s on-screen contributions have seen the Magpies sign a Premier League-proven goalscorer, he’s also played a part in weakening Bournemouth’s efforts to return to the top-flight at the first time of asking. As of September 18th, the Cherries are currently priced at 10/1 to win the league with Championship betting, behind Brentford, Norwich, and Watford. 

Ashley should be praised for considering a different strategy 

In recent years, Premier League football has been dictated by finances. However, the appointment of Munez’s actor, Becker, would break the trend. Ultimately, Ashley should receive some credit for seeking to take Newcastle in a different direction concerning their recruitment. Moreover, if Wilson’s signing is indicative of what could be to come, then there should be reason for optimism should they go ahead with a sporting director based in fiction.

Water bed burst as couple romped

Water bed burst as couple romped

An Ipswich couple whose delux water bed burst during a moment of passion are taking legal action for damages.

Ben and Sofia Darlington, of Corder Road, fell through their bedroom ceiling onto the kitchen table below when the bed suddenly “exploded”.

Thousands of gallons of water poured into the kitchen, blowing all the electrical circuits with a terrifying bang.

The drama was heard by passing postman Jim Keeble, who looked through the kitchen to see if anyone was hurt.

He saw Mrs Darlington, 32, laying naked across the table with her husband, 34, slumped over her wearing a Superman top. The shocked postie is now off work for counselling.

Luckily the Darlingtons were unhurt, but they are now suing water bed maker Watership Eiderdown for damages.

Mr Darlington, who works at Willis, said: “We only got the bed on Saturday and made sure we followed the assembly instructions to the letter.

On Monday morning we woke up and one thing led to another, and just at the worst moment the bed burst.

“I like to think I can make the earth move, but this was ridiculous.”

The couple are suing for thousands of pounds for repairs to the kitchen ceiling, redecorating, and their semi-detached house’s electrics.

They are also seeking damages for the emotional stress they suffered when the postmen saw them spreadeagled naked on the kitchen table.

Lorraine Fisher, 34, a spokesperson for Watership Eiderdown said: “Our engineers are investigating. However, we believe the customers overfilled the bed.”

Asked if he was confident the company would win a court battle, she said: “We’re quite buoyant.”

How COVID-19 has influenced the gambling industry

Covid-19 pandemic sign

The effects of COVID-19 on the gambling industry cannot be ignored. The coronavirus disease has affected a lot of sectors in the economy. And gambling has not been left behind. However, unlike sectors like travel or education gambling has not been entirely badly hit.

Some aspects of the industry such as gambling sites have experienced an increase in demand while others like sportsbooks have been negatively affected. As people are getting back to their jobs and nations begin to ease lockdown, the only thing that has been increasing is uncertainty.

Effects of COVID-19 on gamblers

How have gamblers been reacting to during the pandemic? Research studies have shown that gamblers have been consuming media beyond the average levels. Since the start of this pandemic, 24 percent of gamblers have been spending more time using apps, 35 percent have been spending more time on social media platforms, and more than 70 percent have been watching videos on YouTube and streaming services like Netflix.

The majority of players are connecting to their sites and other online platforms using their mobile phones. Since most players will be spending most of their time indoors, the opportunity to spend money on online gambling sites presents itself.

Short term effects of gambling

Gambling companies will have to take it slow. During uncertain times, the gambling industry is usually scapegoated. While land-based casinos, race tracks, and bingo halls have been closed temporarily, the demand for online alternatives has greatly increased.

Since the vast majority of professional sports has been paused, eSports betting has started showing promise. For most people, virtual and alternative sports such as Virtual Grand National have provided a break during the lockdown. However, interest in this is likely to fade away as real sports kicks in.

In the casino sector, conversations revolving around online poker and free bingo no deposit offers have started rising since the lockdown started. Platforms such as PokerStars have entertained casino fans and created a social connection for gamblers.

A similar rise in interest has been seen across other gambling aspects such as online bingo and online slots. When it comes to the lottery, interest in specific products has increased as people shift to the online world.

Long term effects for the gambling industry

  • Preparing for a recession: We are at the grip of a recession. And it’s not going to be better anytime soon. Luckily, gambling brands have proven to be resilient during recession periods. As we have seen, online gambling has been on the rise since lockdown as more people continue using their mobile phones to access sites in the comfort of their homes.
  • The decline of physical locations: As guidelines regarding social distancing and isolation continue to be upheld in the coming months, you should expect consumers to shy away from physical locations. Even when they re-open, small land-based casinos will have a hard time generating revenues and profits.
  • Esports betting is becoming popular: eSports is now the fastest growing sport in the gaming world thanks to the coronavirus disease. It’s best suited for players at the moment because it prioritizes social distancing and brings a whole new demographic into the betting world.
  • The silver surfer: Lockdown has been a period of experimentation for every avid gambler across the world. Older players have been forced to develop and improve their digital skills. Online gambling will continue playing a critical role in the gambling industry, especially during the pandemic. Therefore, casino brands should capitalize on this amazing opportunity.

How brands should reopen

Brands need to focus on their long-term strategies. In the marketing world, brands will have to put in the hours into activities like SEO and social media marketing in the coming months to boost their revenues and profits.

Conclusion

The effects of the coronavirus disease on the gambling sector cannot be ignored. Most countries and brands around the world have been affected by the pandemic. However, not all aspects of gambling have been negatively affected. The online gambling industry has been on the rise during the pandemic due to player convenience.

Man disappointed after ordering 34-year-old escort online

Lonely Steve Walshe was left frustrated when he went online and ordered a 34-year-old escort with a good body.

After getting ready for a night of conversation and female company, he opened the door of his Woodbridge, Suffolk home to find a 1986 Ford Escort car on the driveway.

“It did indeed have a good body for its age, with no sign of rust,” disappointed Steve, 49, explained.

“But it was not the type of escort I was after.

“Since my wife left me four years ago, I have been lonely and needed some female company.

“I found this site called Lorraine Fisher, 34, Suffolk Escort and it seemed just what I was after.

“But after much anticipation, it turned out I was to spend the evening with a beige vintage car instead.”

Lorraine Fisher, 34, said: “I think he got his websites mixed up. I am not an old banger, although I have been round the block a few times.”
