Casinomeister’s Second Opinion (“C2O”) is a button you can add to your browser and use when you visit a casino website. Simply add it (as described below) and whenever you come across a casino and you would like the Meister’s opinion, just click the button! If it’s in the database, voila, you get an opinion! If it’s not, you can ask…simples!
C2O is a free service to everyone: it doesn’t use cookies or install any software and it takes just a few seconds to set up. If you are interested in the technology C2O uses, you can read the “techie” info below if you feel so inclined! There is also a dedicated C2O forum thread if you have any questions.
Techie Info
The C2O button itself is basically a “bookmarklet”, a small piece of javascript code that can be placed on a toolbar in pretty much any browser and calls up a web-based application. Thus, the code it references is simply a mix of HTML, PHP and Javascript, technologies that are specifically used to build websites and web-based applications.
Clicking the C2O bookmarklet passes the URL of the website you are browsing to a PHP script on the Meister server which, in turn, searches the accredited and rogue casinos databases for casinos and information, returning the results in a formatted HTML webpage. On the surface, it’s all pretty simple and that’s why there is no software to be installed: it’s a web-based application called from your browser toolbar.
