That was a VERY good question - and the answer I expected.

I've been playing online casinos for 8 years (over 160 different ones) and to be honest I only know who owns about 3 or 4 of them.

This information SHOULD be public knowledge, but since Mandarin Palace are soliciting deposits from USA players (only) and with the UIGEA bill still in place, it's not that surprising they want to keep it a secret.

Personally I very strongly suspect they are owned by the same people as the Grand Prive Group - the only out-and-out thieving rogue MG casino group.

Today I just received a CD from Mandarin, posted from LA, personally addressed to me in the UK, inviting me to sign-up there and claim a free-chip & some match bonuses...

I've not investigated further yet, but either they have opened their doors to other countries... or they are grossly incompetent!!!

I will report back when I find out which it is!

For some reason still unknown to me, they absolutely refuse to add QT (UseMyWallet) as a deposit and withdrawal option. That's the part that just does not make any sense at all to me since they are in fact targeting the USA players!

You are not the only one who Mandarin Palace have sent out a CD to a players home address KK. Did you have an account at SlotsPlus? As they had their player database stolen earlier this year.

No, I never signed up to that one.

I had a strong suspicion that Mandarin were somehow associated with the discredited Grand Privé group, because their launch was very close to the time GP pulled out of the USA and Mandarin were taking only USA players.
Also several ex-GP players reported getting unsolicited e-mails and CDs in snail-mails from Mandarin, again just after GP's pull-out.
I did have accounts at one or two of their casinos.
Did you?

I have never been able to conclusively prove the link, but usually 2 + 2 = ....

It could be possible re Grand Prive and would actually make commercial sense for them to do so, seeing as they have cut off their affiliate traffic stream.

I never signed up to either Grand Prive or SlotsPlus.

Perhaps Mandarin are affiliated to a casino that you have played at, at some point in time. Or have bought a list from a casino you signed up to.

Would be certainly interesting to find out where they got your details from....

Oh yes - that's the other thing I forgot to mention!

When Mandarin launched they did NOT have an affiliate program. (And they still don't).
This is VERY unusual for a brand new stand-alone casino - where would they get their new players from?
