d505b56ab26743418ade08cd8d0a0797.jpg
Since the initial Heart of Deimos release, you’ve delved into the putrid hills and caverns of the Cambion Drift and found a familiar place with the Entrati. As Deimos continues to fester within the Origin System, its insides twist and turn to expose new growth and life!

NEW DEIMOS ISOLATION VAULT BOUNTIES:
The Cambion Drift Underground you’ve come to recognize swells with new areas to discover.
Mother has 3 new Isolation Vault Bounties to complete! These new Isolation Vault Bounties become available after completing the initial Isolation Vault tier, with the respective Mother then offering the new Vault Bounty. As you unlock these new Vault Bounties, the difficulty will increase to match the prerequisite Isolation Vault and rewards will differ per Bounty.
In addition, 4 new Entrati Vault ruins await you in Isolation Vault Bounties!
d55e4add23417e380740506cf0ec14d0.jpg
General Isolation Vault Changes:

• Removed the Vome/Fass cycle reset on the Isolation Vault Bounties tiers.
  
  • Oftentimes the Vome/Fass cycle reset during an Isolation Vault Bounty was understandably confusing, for new players especially, and was reported as more of a “bug” than a feature - so we’ve removed its effect on Isolation Vault Bounty tiers! Also, with the addition of the new Isolation Vault Bounties, the time it may take squads/solo players to complete them all could exceed the Vome/Fass cycles.
• Increased the speed of Loid/Otak in the Isolation Vault!
  
• Reduced Loid/Otak’s base Health by 37.5% to compensate for the speed increase.
  
  • The slow speed of Loid/Otak was common feedback to be addressed, but increasing the speed made their journey too easy as enemies barely put a scratch into them as they attempted to catch up.
• Changed Otak/Loids defend HUD marker to the standard yellow version to help differentiate between Allies and enemies.
  
• Adjusted Loid/Otaks path to create a more evenly spaced consistent length path to avoid a long slow return to the Vault when all 4 Generators are activated, or when clusters of Generators are very close together.
  
• Adjusted Isolation Vault Transmission flow at the very start to speed things up a bit and get into the phases a little faster.
  
• Scintillants have a chance to respawn in Isolation Vault Bounties.
  
  • The new Isolation Vault Bounties bring you back through the previously completed Vaults and further into the Underground. Having Scintillant respawn grants another kick at the can even if Scintillant was already found in a Vault.
• Esophages in Isolation Vault Bounties now have a press and hold context action to avoid accidentally interacting, and thus having to go all the way back down to do the Vault Generators.
  
• Rebalanced enemy Voidrig (and the upcoming Bonewidow) Isolation Vault fights for a more fair experience that embraces the precedent set with Kuva Liches:
  
  • *Enemy Voidrig & Bonewidow Necramechs now have the ‘Lich’ treatment with vulnerability to Status Effects, meaning you can now apply Status Effects to Necramechs! Additionally, certain damage immunities and diminishing returns for Warframe abilities have been added to balance this out.
    • The damage immunities apply to movement abilities, such as Banshee’s Sonic Boom, to prevent yeeting the Necramech into the sun. The diminishing returns are present to also prevent 1HKOs - on par with Kuva Liches.
  • Increased the cooldown time when the Voidrig (and Bonewidow) cast their invulnerability shield while in their “armless” phase.
    • Necramechs are intended to have shorter cooldowns while missing both arms. The cooldown reduction was too high however and you’d often see Voidrig Necramechs recasting their shield within seconds!
• Added an objective marker to the Bait Device if your Bait throw missed the monster-door.
  

NEW ISOLATION VAULT ENCOUNTERS:
New Isolation Vault Bounties also have 3 new encounter types within the Bounty!
Deimos Delicacies!
Daughter has tasked you to escort/protect a friendly POLYP-HOG JUGGERNAUT that is searching for Fungal Polyps! But we all know what happens when someone bothers us while we’re eating…
Infested Research!
Curious behaviors have been observed of the Infested interacting with the organic fluids in the underground caves. Subvert the fluid extraction device and throw it back at them to collect samples!
Cracks in Deimos!
There is a mysterious mist wafting throughout the area, driving the creatures within mad! Negate the effects of the mist with the Emitter Unit and seal the mist fissures before the creature's attempt to open the fissures.

NEW DEIMOS ENEMY - MITOSID
It takes two to tango, Tenno. Previously known as “Splitter,” the clever Mitosid splits in twain to divide and conquer as the Diploid. Both the Basal and Feral Diploid make up for what they lack in maneuverability with what they have in appendages!
*****New Mitosid Mod Set*
We anticipated shipping a Mitosid Mod Set with Deimos: Arcana. After review, these Mods needed a bit more time in the oven, and we wanted to make this clear for those who may have come across them on the Test Cluster in any form to explain their fate!. We’ll return to the drawing board and ship at a later date!
Aerial attacks now execute a spin attack that deals +20% damage repeating 2 times in succession.

DEIMOS QUALITY OF LIFE CHANGES:
Tenno have spent a lot of time with the Entrati family, and have shared valuable insights on how to improve their systems! Deimos Arcana brings many sought after quality-of-life improvements:

• Vome/Fass time indicators now appear when viewing the map inside the Necralisk hub!
  
  • Cetus and Fortuna have been given the same treatment.
  • 5c698a43da7647fe3b355cef5fd3384b.png
• The mining drop rate of Thaumica has been doubled! We’ve also Reduced the chance of getting Namalon while Mining in the Cambion Drift so that the chance of getting Thaumica is significantly increased.
  
  • Both Necrathene and Thaumica were similarly rare, but Thaumic Distillate is used in a wider variety of Blueprints, so expect to see it appear more often from yellow mineral deposits.
• Son’s Conservation tasks have been made more rewarding and accessible! There are two main factors to this change:
  
  • Higher quality Conservation captures will now provide better rewards, as they do in our other Free Roam landscapes. Scoring a “Good” capture will now provide 2 animal capture Tags instead of 1, and “Perfect” captures will award 3 Tags!
  • Son’s Token exchange has been reorganized, based on player inventory statistics. Smaller offerings will require more commonly found creatures, and larger offerings with more Tokens will require creatures that are harder to come by.
• Necramechs will now increase max level by 2 for each Forma applied, up to Rank 40!
  
  • With twelve Mod slots to fill, borrowing the Polarity mechanics introduced with the Paracesis made perfect sense. This change also prompted a discussion to address the mission restrictions with Necramech leveling (Free Roam only). As a result, we’ve increased the Shared Affinity Range in Free Roam missions (see below for more details). We still have plans to allow deployable Necramech’s in normal mission modes at a later date - stay tuned!
  • If you have already reached Rank 30 on your Necramech prior to this update, you will retain the full Mastery Points for it. You are still free to level it to Rank 40 to unlock further Mod slots!
• Enabled Shield-Gating for summoned Necramechs! You’ll now experience the brief invulnerability period when your Necramech Shield breaks.
  
• Universal Medallions can now be traded in the Necralisk at Grandmother for Entrati Standing and Loid for Necraloid Standing.
  
• The Latrox Une Bounty mission has received a balance pass to address both the length this mission takes and the Bonus being too challenging compared to others:
  
  • Doubled the Drone Shields Health.
  • The Drone Shield now regenerates after being emptied.
  • Samples now drop at a faster rate.
  • Less samples are required to complete the mission.

FREE ROAM SHARED AFFINITY CHANGE:
We’ve increased the Shared Affinity Range in Free Roam missions from 50 meters to 250 meters! When implementing the change to make Necramech’s level up to 40, it prompted the conversation of Necramech leveling and its restriction to Free Roam missions. With the addition of Bonewidow, it felt appropriate to dial the Shared Affinity Range up for these much larger tilesets. While it’s always ideal to stick together, we hope the 250 meter range allows you to both level up your Necramech faster and venture a bit farther in the landscape.
FISHING & CONSERVATION:
Undazoa and Nexifera now prowl across Deimos. Help Son study these new species of Infested wildlife!
36d0d0d98ce087356d5a3b3a5ac70375.png
UNDAZOA
These peculiar creatures inhabit the exocrine, consuming contaminants and depositing their eggs. They will not instigate an attack, but if you provoke an Undazoa, be wary of each variant’s unique defense.
*Acquire the Undazoa Echo-Lure and Pheromone Gland from Son’s Offerings!
NEXIFERA
These heavy creatures occupy caves, poised to drop from the ceiling onto unassuming victims. Each variant’s landing has a unique effect. Be quick if you hope to catch a Nexifera before it ascends! They will burrow into the ceiling to make a quick escape.
*Similar to Velocipods, the Nexifera is an ambient encounter creature you can find out in the Cambion Drift.

The Endocrine are home to 2 new species of Fish! Find the elusive Flagellocanth and Lobotriscid to bring back to Daughter!
FLAGELLOCANTH These specimens were originally parasites, breeding inside the wyrm-guts of Fass and scattered across Deimos in the debris of his explosive demise. They are drawn to his light. Processed Fass Residue is required to attract the Flagellocanth!
LOBOTRISCID
A muscular, three-tailed fish, the Lobotriscid trawls through Exocrine vapor across the surface of Deimos when Vome is dominant.
FISHING & CONSERVATION CHANGES & FIXES:

• Enabled Imprinting and breeding for Predasites and Vulpaphyla.
  
  • Mutagens and Antigens are inherited through breeding, allowing pets to stack their benefits.
  • Predasites and Vulpaphyla can only be named when Gilded, so naming after hatching is skipped.
  • Predasites and Vulpaphyla can not be cross bred with non-modular pets.
  • Imprints of Predasites and Vulpaphyla can only be taken when the pet is Gilded.
• Disabled Conservation Tranq and Track during the Heart of Deimos quest.
  
  • When it was enabled you wouldn't have been able to catch anything or see anything on map, but there was a chance to just happen across a start point.
• Companion Predasites and Vulpaphylas now have their own description, seperate from the wild ones in the Cambion Drift.
  
• Improvements to trails to address some of the more drastic upwards jumps required to follow the path.
  
• Made a bunch of updates to Lure sounds and mix effects. Added more variations to scat burst sound (yum). Also made adjustments to transmission timing.
  
• Increased number of Avichea spawned at Call Points from 1 to 2-4 and improved spawn position.
  
• Increased the number of Cryptilex spawned at Call Points from 1 to 2-4.
  
• Expanded number of available call points in the Magna, Infested Seraglio, Undulatum, and Albrechts Prospect areas.
  
• Added height arrow indicators to Conservation markers.
  
  • This reduces the number of call points that end up in caves. For the ones that do spawn in caves, the height arrow indicator should relieve that confusion.
• Added debuffs to Deimos animals when they’re Wounded by Infested and reduced max Health on wild Predasites and Vulpaphylas so you’re not waiting around for Infested to wound the animals.
  
• Added Vome/Fass cycle information to Deimos Conservation creatures in the Codex!
  
• Fixed losing all control functions for a short period of time after throwing a Fishing Spear - most commonly experienced in Cambion Drift.
  
• Fixed cases of issues with Avichea circling movement used when found ambiently and when they arrived at Call Points that would cause them to float way up into the sky.
  
• Fixed Cryptilexes missing their Conservation drone pickup animation, which created an animation pop after capturing.
  
• Fixed Conservation start points not regenerating on Deimos which would prevent certain encounters from spawning.
  
• Fixed some Conservation call points spawning under the Endocrine.
  
• Fixed ambient spawns only spawning common fish and ignoring bait (fishing with the Spear out still worked as intended).
  
• Fixed Fishing after landscape time change not altering obtainable fish.

GENERAL DEIMOS CHANGES:

• *Necramechs (Bonewidow and Voidrig) now have a built-in vacuum!
  
• Necralisk Fast Travel UI now displays the respective Token for each Entrati member.
  

• Entrati Tokens you don’t have the required resources for will now appear greyed out in each Entrati member’s Token acquisition menu. Saving you from having to hover and view each Token individually to see if you have the resources needed.

• Added “Mother Tokens” next to the Token icon itself in Mother’s ‘Reward Details’ screen.
  
  • 09b29a595765df70e555f494c23e924a.jpg
• Added “Requirements Met” category to the Necralisk vendors. Selecting this category will sort wares based on if you have the necessities to purchase it.
  
• Added “Expiry” and “Tokens” filters to the Necralisk vendors.
  
  • “Expiry” sorts Tokens by remaining time until they expire. Tokens expiring sooner will be sorted at the top of the list.
  • “Tokens” sorts Tokens by the amount in one purchase. In other words, the higher the number of Tokens in a single purchase the higher it will appear in the list.
• Added more idle Otak lines in the Necralisk when interacting with him.
  
• Added another race node to the Cambion Drift Abyssal Skim race to lead the player better.
  
• Increased the Deimos Juggernaut variants Affinity gain to 500.
  
  • This was done to be more consistent with the Deimos Saxum variants.
• Made slight updates to Son’s skin textures and fixed neck seam issues.
  
• Made slight revisions to Daughter’s textures to better match her head to her body.
  
• Enemies in the Cambion Drift will now have a blue energy FX applied to their weapons when Vome is alive and wyrming around.
  
• Added Deimos Leapers and Deimos Conservation animals to the Codex.
  
• Made improvements to the enemy pathing in tight underground areas in the Cambion Drift.
  
• Changed the number of Obelisks that appear in the Cambion Drift from 6 to 5.
  
  • With the introduction of the newest Bounties, we reviewed Obelisk spawn sites and saw that they were occupying vacant sites that we felt would be better used for new Bounty objectives! These sites were also difficult for enemies to maneuver and access, and they would often get stuck in the Obelisk shards.

GLAIVES REVISITED:
Many of these changes focus on enhancing the unique gameplay options that a Glaive can offer. We’ll start simple with throwing mechanics, and work our way up:
Heavy Attack (aka Glaive detonation) will now do more damage, more consistently! Damage numbers have been increased, and the area-of-effect falloff has been removed, meaning max damage no matter what part of the explosion hits an enemy. This should help encourage use of Glaives’ unique detonation functionality; another option to compliment swinging and throwing the weapon, allowing for massive bursts of damage when needed.
“Hold throw” mechanics now apply in Equipped Melee mode! When we added the ability to wield a Glaive alongside any one-handed secondary, we introduced a new system for throwing Glaives that was quicker and more intuitive. This modern system for both ground and air throwing has been applied to pure melee mode, making Glaives consistent no matter how they are used.
WetViciousIrishdraughthorse-mobile.mp4
In “Glaive + Gun” mode, players must use the melee key to detonate the Glaive while in flight. With only the Glaive in hand, the alt fire button is no longer reserved for your secondary weapon, which allows for added flexibility - press alt fire for a Heavy Attack detonation, or tap melee for a simple recall
Glaive throws can now be performed while sliding! Tap to perform a regular spin attack, or hold to throw. An added level of flexibility to the Glaive playstyle.
HalfClearGrayfox-mobile.mp4
Throw melee inputs can be “queued up”, one after the other! Also known as “buffering”, this means if you are holding a melee input as the Glaive returns to your hand, you will start charging another throw as soon as possible. With this change, a smooth gameflow emerges: throw a Glaive, hold melee as it returns, catch, release, repeat.
CleanAdolescentIsabellinewheatear-mobile.mp4
Glaives can now be thrown multiple times in a single jump! Limitations to this type of throw have been removed to allow more chained throws.
With all of these improvements, Glaive throwing and detonating should become a more prominent and viable way to use these weapons. But we’re only getting started!
Another feature that makes Glaives stand out from other melee weapons, is their ability to be wielded alongside a one-handed secondary. This “Glaive + Gun” mode is also getting a couple upgrades:
Melee stance combos are now available in Glaive + Gun mode! Using a weapon combo will no longer restrict your melee options and movement, making Glaives even more deadly.
AgreeableBackFairybluebird-mobile.mp4
Glaive + Gun mode now utilizes melee auto blocking when not aiming or firing! This feature introduced in recent melee system updates will now also apply to the weapon combo mode, offering the benefits of actively equipped melee while still keeping your secondary at the ready.
With all these changes combined, we hope Glaive gameplay will feel more fluid, fun and unique. To encourage exploration of these new mechanics, we are also making changes to Glaive Modding options, improving old Mods and introducing new choices for players to try!
Glaive Mod Power Throw has been given respective buffs:

• Increased Punch Through from 0.6 to 2m.
  
  • +2m Punch Through. On Consecutive Throw: +100% Throw Damage (up to maximum 3 stacks)
• Added 60% projectile speed.
  

This Mod will now be great for players who embrace the “catch and release” playstyle introduced by the changes to melee input queueing.
We also have two new Mods to help modify your playstyle even further…
Volatile Rebound: 100% Chance to explode on Bounce (Disables Punch Through).
NervousSimilarIvorygull-mobile.mp4
Volatile Quick Return: -4 Bounce. +100% Blast Radius. 100% chance to explode on Bounce (disables Punch Through).
439375775_GIF6.mp4.3b52ce56a45217b4da6018802c28f2ed.mp4
Unlike a Heavy Attack, the explosions from these Mods do NOT consume your combo counter. Equip Volatile Rebound to inflict as much chaos as possible from a single throw, or Volatile Quick Return for rapid targeted strikes.
*Find the Volatile Rebound and Volatile Quick Return Mods from Cambion Drift Deimos enemies!
Below are some specific changes per weapon from the above changes:
Cerata

• Added guaranteed Toxin proc on Heavy Attack Detonation.
  
• Increased Critical Damage from 2.2 to 2.3x of throw.
  
• Reduced AoE fall off from 50% to 30%.

XAKU ROUND 2 CHANGES & FIXES:
We’ve been keeping tabs on the usual feedback channels to read and review your takes on Xaku in their updated form. We have been pleased to see that generally these changes have been enjoyed thus far, and that we’ve taken a step in the right direction. But as many have expressed, and to which we have found ourselves agreeing, our work is not done yet on this Community Warframe!
So here we are with a second round of changes based on the most standout and widely discussed points we saw strewn across the feedback hubs. Whether it's iterating on Round 1 or offering new insight on Xaku’s abilities, we thank you for sharing!
General Changes:

• Xaku's "The Lost" ability description will now include descriptions of "Accuse", "Deny", and "Gaze" within it.

Xata’s Whisper (Void Status Effect):

• Void damage’s Status Effect will now redirect projectiles to the body part it proc’d on.
  
  • How it will work: If you shoot at an enemy’s head with Xata’s Whisper enabled and proc, the bubble will redirect all projectiles to the head. If you shoot at the feet, it’ll be redirected to the feet, etc.! It is however possible that even if you proc on the head but then shoot at the lower part of the bubble it might hit the body on the way up to being redirected to the head.
  • This is a game wide change to Void Status Effect! Now that we have a Warframe that can harness Void damage at the click of a button, it has brought much focus to and discussion around its Status Effect. For those of you who are unfamiliar, in its current state it creates a bullet attractor bubble that directs all projectiles to the center of the enemy’s torso regardless of where it procs. Since Xata’s Whisper applies Void damage to all of their weapons, it was increasingly noticeable to Xaku players that the bubble’s current redirecting position prevents any attempt at enemy headshots until its duration expires. This is one of the main reasons for this change. Headshot disruption ultimately limits your damage output by removing the opportunity for headshot multipliers while it is active. Now, you will be able to use your headshotting skills to greater benefit, while also having generally more options to focus projectiles where desired. Note that regardless of where the Status Effect occurs, it will continue to prevent enemies from being able to shoot at you without having their projectiles redirected back to the center of the bubble.

Grasp of Lohk:

• Re-casting will now steal weapons up to the max number of affected targets.
  
  • How it will work: You will be able to re-cast up to the max number of targets that you can steal from. In other words, you can add to the current batch of weapons. For example, if your max target is set to 6, and you have 3 weapons active, Grasp of Lohk can be re-cast to “top up” to the remaining 3 weapon allowance. Newly grabbed weapons from re-casts will have independent durations from the previous batch - similar to Protea’s Blaze Artillery.
  • We made re-casting available in Round 1 and set it up to replace the entire current active batch of weapons. Our original reasoning was that this allowed for a ‘fresh’ cast to be made if an undesirable pull occurred. But what makes far more sense is to follow the precedent set by Nekros’ Shadows of the Dead. So now you can maintain your current floating auto-cannon sidekicks and re-cast to refill or top up to the max on command. This will give far more control in maintaining the max number of active weapons you can have at once.

Casino Superlines Review

Casino Superlines is a smart looking site, one that will instantly entice visitors on account of its games. They’re displayed prominently across the homepage and include the likes of James Dean, Superman, Gonzo’s Quest and Trump It. Table games also feature prominently, whether playing live baccarat or Zero Spin Roulette.
Its logo resembling a cool geometric shape, Casino Superlines doesn’t look or feel like most online casinos. In fact it feels more like the sort of site you’d expect to find a graphic design company or architects firm using. Make no mistake though, this is a casino through and through. Many of the characters you’ll be encountering in the video slots appear on the homepage slider including the South Park characters, King King and various dragons and other beasts. The site utilises a mobile-friendly design and its games have also been encoded in HTML5 so should work fine on mobile as well as on desktop.

About Casino Superlines

Casino Superlines is operated by Equinox Dynamic N.V., a company who are registered in the gaming-friendly stronghold of Curacao. Equinox Dynamic are in turn owned by a company based in Bratislava in the Slovak Republic. Check out the site’s About page and you’ll discover that they’re passionate about simulating a convincing casino experience and in hosting games from big-name brands. They’ve certainly achieved that feat based on the quality of the slots that are visible on its homepage.
The About page also gushes on about the commitment to putting the customer first, innovating and a few other laudable buzzwords. 128-bit SSL is used to maintain customer privacy and security at all times and all of the games on the site have been independently tested to ensure fair play and honest payouts. If you need to get hold of customer support, your best option would be to use live chat but there’s also an email address provided and a Slovak phone number. An FAQ can also be found on the support page and it appears to cover most bases.

Casino Superlines Banking Options

There’s a range of deposit options available at Casino Superlines starting with credit and debit card such as Visa. There’s also wallets from Neteller and Skrill, instant banking, and a few other options. The full list isn’t made available if you’re casually browsing the site, but you’ll see a full list once you’re logged in. One thing you won’t find in the FAQ is much information pertaining to withdrawals. In particular, there isn’t any information about how long withdrawal requests take to be processed, which is a shame.

High Roller? Be Happy!

The welcome bonuses available at Casino Superlines work out as a 400% first deposit worth up to €400, a second deposit match of 100% worth up to €1,000 and a third deposit match of 200%. Casino Superlines also offers an enhanced high roller welcome bonus for players who deposit over €500. It doesn’t specify what sort of a bonus might be in store; you’ll need to contact customer services to find out more if you’re contemplating making a fat deposit at Casino Superlines.
The site also offers a VIP scheme, one in which players start off at bronze level, for deposits of under €5,000 in total. Here you can expect to receive an “industry shattering welcome package” whatever that means, a dedicated account manager and 1 cash point earned for every €10 you wager. At Silver level, your cash points improve fractionally – you’ll now earn 1 point for every €9.50 wagered and will enjoy enhanced loyalty promotions. Then there’s Gold and Platinum, the former once you’ve deposited over €15,000 and the latter once you’ve passed €25,000.

Casino Superlines Games

As a modern site, Casino Superlines doesn’t have a separate page for games – instead you’ll find them all listed on the homepage. Click on the dropdown menu to select a category or type the name of a game into the search box. Categories have names such as Virtual Games, Video Slots, Classic Slots, VIP Games and Action Games. The Virtual Games section is stocked with virtual sports sims such as horses, speedway, greyhounds, football and cycling. The graphics may be simple, but the games themselves can still be immersive, and it’s easy to get into them once you’ve got money wagering on the outcome.
Click on Slots and a submenu will open, allowing you to select games by a specific developer if you have a favourite. Notable names include GS, Fugaso, NetEnt, Ainsworth Game Technology (AGT), and Amaya. There are hundreds of games to choose from, based around as diverse a selection of themes as you’re likely to encounter anywhere. Have a go at titles such as Glorious Empire, Great Wild Elk, Blood Lore Vampire Clan and Bounty Hunt.

Casino Superlines Live Dealer

The live casino at Casino Superlines adds to the lifelike simulacrum of a land-based casino that the site has spoken about attempting to simulate. Live casino games are as close as it gets to playing in a real casino without having to dress up, look out your membership card and head to your local casino. Gaze in awe at the gorgeous dealers and marvel at their ultra-white teeth as you play live games such as Roulette, VIP Blackjack, Golden Ball Roulette, High Limit and Dolphin’s Roulette.

Action Games

If you’re wondering what might be lurking under Action Games, the answer is Keno and Traditional Keno. That’s as action-packed as it gets. There’s a little more action to be had in the scratch cards category though where you’ll be confronted with simple but extremely fun games such as Soccer Scratch, Go For Gold, Rugby Riches and Scratch Volcano Eruption.
In the same vein, the video poker section at Casino Superlines is well stocked, including all your favourites, if you’re the sort who’s partial to a spot of Jacks or Better or Deuces on the Rocks. There are other poker titles to be found in the Cards & Table Games category which is stocked with Poker Three and Magic Poker along with the likes of Sic Bo, Craps, Reels of Fortune, Zero Spin Roulette and a few other card-based games including blackjack and its variants.

Superlines Conclusion

Casino Superlines is a slightly stuffy and overly formal site, but despite this, it’s got a lot to recommend. The games are great, from the live casino to the virtual casino, and the site is easy to navigate. A clean, responsive design keeps all of the important stuff on the homepage, like the games, which after all are the ultimate measure as to whether Casino Superlines is worth your time. The short answer is yes: thanks to the quality of the slots, virtual sports and table games on offer here, it is well worth signing up at Casino Superlines and giving this cool little site a go.

How to spot the good from the bad ones. I'm sure most of us have been searching endlessly for a reliable Casino that really looks after their customers. So have I and I can easily say it's not an easy task to make heads or tails from. I'm sure you have been searching for different sites and reading reviews about casinos. And still, it's hard to decide where to try your luck.
From my personal experience both as a player and a gambler, there are a few key things I have learned to look out for when I decide if I'm going to spend my hard-earned cash on a site. First of all, check if the casino holds a valid license, The ones to look out for are UKGC and MGA licenses. If they have both you are already one step closer to finding a reliable operator. Secondly, check for some reviews on how long they take to pay out a withdrawal, keep in mind a casino is not a bank and they do take a while to process a payment. Usually, it will take between 1 to 3 days. And that is pretty standard in the industry.
The key thing to look out for here is, that when you sign up, to get your account verified right away as this will prolong any withdrawal you may request at some point. I have seen that many complain about long processing times for withdrawals.
9 times out of 10 its because of 2 things. The documents have not been submitted or wrong documents have been sent in for review.
Here is a top tip to keep in mind when you do decide to sign up and play.

1. Make sure you have a valid ID. So you can take a photo of it. The whole ID has to show in the photo.
   
2. Have a recent official letter or Utility bill no older than 3 months to verify your address. The whole letter has to be visible in the picture in order for it to be accepted.
   
3. Only use 1 deposit method that you can easily verify. Such as a Bank card or E-Wallet. As you will just have to take pictures of the Card and for the E-Wallet, you need a screenshot of your E-Wallet account.
   

Once you have this and you have decided to sign up on a casino of your choice, send the documents in and get the verification done. Saves you a big headache later on. Before you ask why you have to do this. The reason is simple. The casino operates with a license and a part of the legal requirements is to verify each player, it's that simple.
Now for the more fun part. Casinos offer a variety of bonuses, right of the bat when you sign up you will get a welcome offer with your first deposit if you want it. Please make sure to read the bonus terms on any bonus you might take as there is no such thing as a free lunch. Should you take a bonus with your deposit or free spins there are always terms and conditions you need to follow. The most prominent ones are wagering requirements and maximum bet allowed. These 2 points can vary a lot between casinos and you should always check what they are before you decide whether or not to take a bonus.
For example, Casino A offers you a deposit match bonus of 100% up to 200 Cad, Euro, USD etc.
In the bonus terms, the wagering requirement is given and for this example, let's say it is 50X.
What does this mean? It is very simple to understand. Let's say you want to use the deposit bonus and you decide to deposit 100 Cad, Euro, USD etc. The casino will then match your deposit and give you an additional 100 as bonus money. This amount comes with the wagering requirement. So in order to complete the wagering make a simple calculation. 100*50 = 5000. This means that the 100 you got in bonus must be played until you have turned over 5000 Cad, Euro, USD etc. Should you complete the wagering and you still have funds left once completed, then the remaining money is yours and you can place a withdrawal. Also, keep in mind the second point I mentioned earlier. When you play with bonus funds you are restricted to a max bet per spin. This is usually 5 Cad, Euro, Usd etc. If you bet higher you breach the terms and any winnings will most likely be taken away from you. And there is nothing you can do about it.
Now a more decent wagering requirement is usually 35X and most casinos have this in their terms. Any higher and the wagering becomes almost impossible to complete.
One other thing to keep in mind is that some casinos offer sticky bonuses and some don't. The difference here is like night and day. If you get a sticky bonus it means that all funds turn to bonus money at the start when you take a bonus with your deposit and the funds stay that way until the wagering has been completed or you run out of funds. The non-sticky bonuses are the ones you should look out for. Then your money and the bonus money stay in separate pots and you play your real money first.
I hope this will aid you in deciding where to sign up if you are looking for a good casino, and I will list 3 of my personal favourites below with signup links as well for your convenience.

They have amazing bonuses, customer support and their VIP program are one of the best. You won't be disappointed.

Hi everyone,
This is my first post so bare with me. It may be long so don’t feel compelled to read it.
I am 26 years old and in the midst of the Pandemic, I have been working from home since March. Before September, I would never have thought of myself having a gambling addiction. I remember being on a cruise when I turned 21 and put $20 in a slot machine and lost it and was so angry and disappointed in myself.
Then in September I kept seeing this ad on Instagram for an online casino. One day I succumbed and decided to sign-up because they had a $30 signup offer. I thought, ‘Hey what’s the harm?’ I wish I could go back and slap myself and say don’t do it.
I play through the free $30 and won $500. My whole body felt electrified. That went away when I realized there were wagering requirements (I have never been in/involved with casinos so I had no idea). By the time I met the wagering requirement, I had $75 of withdrawalable money. Still excited I made $75 for free I went to withdrawal, but found out the minimum withdrawal amount is $100. So I kept playing and eventually lost it. I wish I learned my lesson that this will be the reality most of the time.
For a bit of background, before this I was in a decent financial state. Pretty good job for someone my age, lived alone in a nice apartment, had some credit card debt, but overall manageable. I have some mental health problems (Bipolar and anxiety disorders) but received treatment and relatively stable compared to my early 20s.
As the days went on I couldn’t stop thinking about seeing that ‘big win’ flashing on my screen and kept thinking to myself, ‘that $500 could have been mine if I didn’t have that $30 bonus’. So, I decided to deposit $20 and bet low on the same game and won nothing. I felt sick like I did on the cruise.
This particular online casino gives you $1 every day, so for the next week I just played but $1 and won some, but not enough to withdrawal. About a week later, I got an email from the casino saying if I deposit $50, I’ll get an extra $50 with no wagering requirement. The thought of depositing $50 was crazy to me so I just deleted the email and continued with my free $1 a day. After about a week of that, I get another email, deposit $50 play with $200. I scoured the fine print and I only had to play through the extra $150 once, then any winnings I can withdrawal. I still hesitated until Friday night where I had a couple drinks and decided to go for it. Back then, I would say this was one of the most fun nights of my life. I kept landing the ‘fireshot’ feature and winning mini and minor jackpots. At the end of the night I won $1200 USD (I’m from Canada so it would be about $1500 CAD).
My body was so full of excitement I could barely hit the withdrawal button. When I did, I found out they had to verify my account and I had to send in the required documents. After I researched if this was standard for online casinos and researching this casino, I sent in my documents. I went to bed happy, and already had plans on what I was going to buy/pay off with this win. Unfortunately I was too excited to sleep. So I log back in and miraculously (at least to me back then), my $1200 was still there, and playable. So I thought why not play a few more rounds with a higher bet to get an even bigger win? Big mistake. By 3:00am, I was down to $100. I forced myself to stop so I could still withdrawal something. After about a week or two, I resisted playing/betting more and when I logged into my online banking and saw the $120 deposited, I think that’s when my addiction started.
I was no longer satisfied with my free $1 everyday. I started just depositing $20 here and there. On my lunch break or in the evening when I was bored. Then $20 turned into $50 and $50 to $100. After maxing my credit card with no significant wins, I decided enough was enough. And stopped for the rest of September.
Most likely because I had researched so much about online casinos, I had more ads than ever tempting me. One night again after a few drinks, I joined a different online casino. This one was completely different, with better games, a level up feature where you get to spin a wheel after each level and win free spins, cash back or free money, I was hooked again. I put in $50 and lost and was completely broke. So I patiently counted down the days until I got paid. I also sold about $500 worth of video games/consoles I didn’t want to sell, but did to have more money to gamble with.
On payday, I set an alarm for 4:00am when my pay is deposited. This was the first real sign to myself I may be becoming obsessed, but brushed it off. I deposited $100 and won $200. Same story, I had to verify my account but this was done within hours, and I got my money in two days VS a week and a half with my first casino. Stupidly, I put the $200 back in and lost it. I was back to being broke after only two days of getting paid. By the weekend, my credit card payment posted and in my eyes, I had money again.
That night I won most of what I lost back and learned my lesson and withdrew it. When I saw that sum deposited into my bank account, I was ecstatic. I first paid off my credit card I was using to make the deposits, and went out and bought AirPods Pro. I felt rich (even though the win was less than $1000). That evening I wanted to play again, but I had no money. This was the night I learned I could cancel a bill payment within 24 hours. Which I did. And played through all my winnings. Words can’t describe how disappointed I was in myself. I was broke. Credit card maxed. And the only thing I had to show for it were the AirPods. The next day I tried returning them but they wouldn’t accept the return because of their return policy on headphones. I vowed to myself to never gamble again, wrote a note in my phone describing what I was feeling so I could read it if I was ever tempted. That week I fell into a depressive episode. I couldn’t afford groceries, lied to friends and family for not spending time with them because I feared they would want to order food, I didn’t want to admit what happened, so I isolated myself.
That week was what I thought was the hardest. I just stayed in bed signing up to every casino out there for free spins no deposit sign ups to try to fill the void but you never actually win anything on no deposit spins. Finally, my good friend asked what is going on and I immediately bursted into tears and told her I was broke, and my credit card maxed. We work at the same job, and long story short, are both getting $5000 in retro pay because of a expired union contract. She told me she would lend me $5000 now, and I would give her my retro money when we get it in February. This was one of the kindest things anyone has ever done for me. Reluctantly, I decided to accept this kindness and we worked out a budget on how I would not let this happen again. Here’s the thing, and I will never forgive myself for, I didn’t tell her all this happened because of gambling. I was too ashamed and embarrassed.
Life was somewhat normal again for a couple weeks until one night I decide to just put in $100 and see if I can win some of what I now owed my friend back. After $500 lost, those same feelings came back, but worse since I felt I betrayed my friend’s kindness, and that this isn’t the first time this happened.
Fast forward to November - I won again (not nearly enough to recover my losses), paid my credit card and cancelled the payment, lost it all again. Then towards the end of November, my $1000 for rent sitting in my savings account kept calling my name. I have never ever been in a position where I would risk not affording rent, but my addiction was stronger and I lost $500 of it. I had about a week until my rent was due, I had nowhere to turn, I couldn’t ask my friend for a loan because in her mind, and from the few times she asked, I was sticking to my budget. My new way of handling stress was gambling, so I put another $100 in and won $600. I was saved and again vowed myself to never put myself into this position again and ‘quit’.
Now it is December, I guess this is my rock bottom. Not nearly as bad as some people’s, but here it is. I took out another credit card for ‘emergencies’ since my main one is maxed. I was good, and didn’t use it except to buy a few groceries which I swore I would pay off on payday. My mental health declined, and I deposited $100 and lost it. Then another $100. Lost it. Made another ‘promise’ to myself to stop and I did until last night. I now owe $1,000 on the new credit card, and my main one is now in a negative balance because of a subscription.
I am a liar, I take advantage of people’s kindness that I didn’t deserve in the first place, and now in more credit card debt than I know how to deal with. All I can wish for is I’ve learned my lesson. That the money I lost I will never get back, and to find some way to fill the void gambling has left in my life. After only the first day, I don’t know what will give me that feeling of excitement, the feeling of being alive. I had all my casino accounts deleted this morning, but I know there are more out there, I just really hope I can stop myself from ever going back on this path.
If you made it this far thank you for reading. If you have any suggestions on what I can do to not relapse, and any hobbies or activities that can fill the void please let me know.
