Who is LatestCasinoBonuses.com?

Simply put, LCB is a gambler’s paradise. The site launched in 2006 and has consistently grown through the years becoming the hot source of all things casino related that it is today. LCB was the brainchild of one man in New Zealand who now has a staff of knowledgeable gambling minions at his side from around the globe.

Readers can expect to find a plethora of information on LCB from the latest industry news to casino reviews, a large library of free games and a forum community of nearly 70,000 members. What sets this affiliate apart from others is the value presented to players. The concept, at its core, is based on casino bonuses but LCB is so much more.

There are currently 166 casino representatives onboard interacting with forum members regarding any issues related to their online casinos. Members need only post their comment on the LCB forum and if a casino rep is available from that particular casino, they will respond. In all other cases LCB acts as a mediator working toward helping its members have positive experiences when gambling online whether it’s through communicating directly with casinos on behalf of players or serving as a collection of player feedback with the use of casino ratings, member comments and fair casino, software and game reviews.

Each member’s experience of LCB is customized with the use of geotracking pinpointing regional location. If a member is from the United Kingdom, for example, the bonuses, free games and casinos marketed within that geographical location are shown weeding out the information that doesn’t necessarily benefit a gambler in that country including a list of the top 7 online casinos for certain markets.

LCB is also the first of several sites within its network including LatestBingoBonuses.com, LatestPokerBonuses.com and LatestSportsBonuses.com. The recent acquisition of WizardofOdds.com is a good indication of LCB’s strength within the gambling industry and shows promise of what’s to come.
