Best Online Casinos |

As mentioned in our Online
Casino Guide, to the untrained
eye it can be very difficult
sorting out the best online
casinos from the rest of the
pack. Especially when you
consider how many casinos
actually claim to be "The
Best" or "Number One", you
have to wonder who is
stretching the truth, and in
some cases, who is downright
lying. And for many new online
gamblers overwhelmed with all
the choices out there, it's
easy to get sucked in by
flowery language and bombastic
claims.
Here at
GamblingReview.com we've been
reviewing online casinos for
nearly ten years. Over the
course of this time, we've
developed a keen eye for
finding the truly best places
to open a real money wagering
account. That said, we urge
you to visit the following
online casinos for yourself.
Indeed, there are other good
gaming sites in business
today. But when it comes to
the overall package,
reputation and service, the
following casinos deserve a
listing on our Best Online
Casinos page.

Best Online Casino
Guidelines
There are
several factors we look for
when reviewing an online
casino for consideration to be
listed on our Best Online
Casinos page. At a bare
minimum, all casinos must hold
the proper credentials,
ensuring player safety, in
terms of both fairness/odds
(payout percentages) and
transaction security. With
these credentials in place,
the deciding factors for
choosing the best online
casinos simply comes down to
customer service (handling of
payouts, technical support,
availability) and promotions
(bonuses, tournaments, Rewards
program). Regarding game
selection, progressive
jackpots and graphics, you
needn't worry about these, for
the top software platforms
(see below) all offer a
comparable package, which
happens to be the best you're
going to find anywhere.
Software - The very first
thing we look at is the
software platform being used.
At this point in time, only
those casinos using approved
software (meaning the software
has been independently tested
for inherent fairness by a
reputable testing house) will
be considered for a listing on
this page. These software
platforms include Microgaming,
Real Time Gaming, Playtech,
Vegas Technology, Rival
Gaming, Cryptologic and Wager
Works.
Licensing and
Regulation - Secondly, we
ensure the casino is properly
licensed and regulated through
a reputable gaming
jurisdiction, which includes,
the UK Gambling Commission,
Gibraltar, Curacao, Kahnawake
Gaming Commission, Isle of
Man, Alderney, Antigua &
Barbuda and Malta.We also take
into consideration any third
party credentials, such as
eCOGRA's "Play it Safe" Seal,
further ensuring a safe and
fair gaming environment.
Customer Service
Cashier Support - All customer
service personnel should be
knowledgeable about the the
deposit and withdrawal methods
offered through the casino, as
well as willing to provide
immediate assistance to anyone
having difficulty transferring
funds or setting up a real
money account. Questions
regarding deposits and
withdrawals must be answered
swiftly, and withdrawals
should be processed as quickly
as possible. Several instant
deposit methods to choose from
should be offered through the
cashier.
Technical Support
- A tech support member should
be on call 24/7 to help
players with any download
issues, timeouts or other
matters of a technical nature.
Availability - The best
casinos must have 24/7 support
via both email and toll-free
telephone. Live chat is even
better. Furthermore, email
response time must be within
hours, as opposed to days.
Promotions
Bonuses -
Welcome bonuses, whether on
the first deposit and/or
several deposits, as well as
reload bonuses, are closely
analyzed. Not only do we look
for large bonuses being
frequently offered, we
consider the fairness of the
wagering terms and conditions.
Rewards - The best
casinos should have a
comprehensive Rewards program
that recognizes players for
their loyalty. Ongoing
bonuses, special offers, free
giveaways and a loyalty
program that awards comp
points to all players are
major considerations when
Tournaments - For many
players, a comprehensive
casino game tournament
schedule is a bonus. For
others, it's a necessity. All
of the online casinos listed
here do indeed offer
tournaments. The extent of
which depends on the software
platform being used.
