Top Websites

One of your first concerns should be to check whether the online casino is safe. The easiest way to do that is to look at the casino’s address bar. If it has an https:// in front of its URL address, then the casino is most certainly safe.

In fact, you will see a part in the address bar that says Secure and has a lock in front of it. By clicking on it, you will see the type of security measure certificate it employs. The industry’s standard measure is the 128-bit or the 256-bit SSL (Secure Socket Layer) encryption technology, which ensures all data transmission from your device to the casino’s servers is impenetrable.

But the top casino websites will also include the information about the SSL encryption they are using at the bottom of the homepage, in the Payment Options, the About Us, the Privacy Policy or the Terms & Conditions pages. This way, the casino is proving to you that it is a transparent and safe one.

A decent online casino site would have one, but a top online casino site would have two or even more licenses by prominent regulatory bodies.

When you find a casino you like, and you see that it holds licenses by the UK Gambling Commission, Alderney, Gibraltar, Curacao or/and the Malta Gaming Authority, you should know that that particular casino is one you can trust. Whenever they see that casino operators are behaving irresponsibly or they find an irregularity in their operations, these watchdogs revoke their licenses.

Another thing you should pay attention is whether the games the casino offers are fair and random. There is a device called a Random Number Generator that uses a special complex algorithm in order to generate only fair and random game outcomes.

If the casino is supplying games by prominent software providers, you can rest assured those games are fair. However, if the casino uses games by suspicious suppliers, double-check for information on the Random Number Generator.

There is, of course, another way to find out whether the info about the RNG is correct. There are actually trustworthy independent, third-party testing and auditing companies and agencies which can guarantee you the fairness of a casino. Go to the casino’s homepage and at the bottom, look for a seal of approval, a logo or a certificate issued by eCOGRA, iTech, TST or NMI. These are the four auditors you can trust, but there are actually several more.

A diverse and large game portfolio is not the only thing you get when you find a casino that offers games by prominent software providers. Finding a casino that offers games provided by Microgaming, NetEnt, Yggdrasil, Blueprint, IGT, iSoftBet, Play’n GO, Evolution Gaming, BetSoft, or other well-known providers is a guarantee for fair, immersive, profitable, and extremely fun online casino experience.

These are the software developers with years of experience in the iGaming business, which know what players are looking for and deliver it to them.

Plus, their software is tested for fairness independently of the casino’s software. Moreover, they offer games with progressive jackpots with prize pools that never stop growing. A progressive jackpot is a jackpot added to games, connected through a network, whose prize pools feed on players from all around the world. The more players play games by a certain provider which are connected to that network, the more the prize pool for that progressive jackpot grows.

Playing at an online casino for real money is not a joke. You cannot just play with whatever payment method is available there. You need to search for casinos which not only offer a wide range of payment methods but which offer payment methods which are convenient, fast and offer lowest or no fees whatsoever. In addition, these methods need to be SSL encrypted, 100% safe and secure.

A top casino website should provide you with at least 10 payment methods to choose from. It needs to offer pay-by-phone options, eWallets, pre-paid cards, bank transfers, credit and debit cards and even cryptocurrency wallets.

Needless to say, the casino will need to offer at least VISA, Neteller, PayPal, Paysafecard, MasterCard and bank transfers, but payment methods such as Bitcoin wallets, PayByPhone, SOFORT, giropay, Trustly, Boku, Maestro, zimpler and several other options would be highly appreciated, as well.

After you choose the payment method to play with, do not forget to check the withdrawal limits. Imagine hitting the progressive jackpot mentioned earlier, and winning a couple of millions of dollars. What would you do if you find out that the maximum withdrawal limit at the casino you’re playing is $10,000? Regardless of whether that is the maximum per transaction, per day or per month, can you imagine how much you would lose?

This is why you need to read the withdrawal conditions very carefully. Sure, every casino has withdrawal limits, but the best casinos either don’t or they come up with ways to make it possible to you to eventually withdraw every cent. Whether in a year or in a few months, the best casino will give you every little cent you have won.

Even if the casino you choose meets the criteria of a perfect online casino site, never register or wager before you read the Privacy Policy. Believe it or not, there are still players who voluntarily choose to skip the Privacy Policy reading part, but that is basically the paramount step. It is too long, yes, but those pages actually determine your future in that particular casino.

This is where the casino explains who operates it, who owns it. And what happens with your personal and financial details while you’re playing there. What happens with those details once you leave the casino, can you leave the casino. And most importantly, what happens with your data in case they sell the casino, rent it or even close it?

Consulting with your lawyer about the consequences of consenting to an online casino’s terms is the best option. However, if you seat down and read the policy of a casino that you’ve checked for all of the aforementioned. You will see that that casino’s policy is unambiguous, clear and transparent. The casino gives you a detailed explanation about the safety and privacy of your sensitive details.
