| How To Choose The Best Online Casino For You |

With so many online casinos out
there it is easy to think that that they are basically all the same and you
don't need to think about your choice. Whilst the big names are going to be
safe as they can the smaller ones that offer better deals need to be selected
with care. So lets run through some simple points.
Safety
You
are not going to be able to analyse security measures yourself but sites that
are licensed by a reputable body, especially the
United Kingdom gambling Commission have already done it for
you. So scroll down to the bottom of the home page and check the links to the
organisation that is providing the licence. If you don't see one then move on.
Obviously review and information sites don't have them because you can't wager
money with them.
Software
Lot of software providers out there
and all of the main online sites use them where as once they developed their
own. If you recognise the name then you are okay. Microgaming, Playtech, Net
Ent, Betsoft, Everymatrix, Realtime Gaming (RTG), IGT, SG Interactive,
Aristocrat and Amaya are licensed by the UKGC and provide nearly all the
software.
 Mobile
Apps
Increasingly casino games and others are being played on mobile
devices. With the recent news that soon Google will allow real money gambling
apps in the Play Store there will be even more demand for mobile gaming. Check
the operator not only has an app but once you've downloaded it check that it
will move to your SD card or other internal memory. Apple iOS users have long
been able to get apps through the App Store. Windows and Blackberry users are
left out in the cold and there will be no developing for these smaller user
groups.
Payouts
Do a quick search on payout disputes. There
shouldn't be any with the major players. If there are delays its often to do
with security, so stolen cards or identification or jurisdictions where the law
is unclear about whether a player can play online. But if you find in your
search multiple delays for the same casino then avoid without thinking about it
any more.
So we have covered the most important points that you checkout
quite easily and they will allow you to find the right casino here. However
there are some more things to be aware of.
Disputes
The UK
Gambling Commission (UKGC) has launched a new online support tool where
gamblers can submit their complaints to operators. It is called
Resolver and it provides
the gamblers with explanations about their rights and creates a case file that
will store all complaint information. The Resolver will go live on August 1 and
won’t cost you anything. Licensed operators are also required to offer
dispute resolution by an independent third party or ADR provider. Details
should be on their FAQ pages. They might call it Online Dispute Resolution
(ODR).
Game Choice
Most online casinos now have a great game
choice. If they are really putting the boat for you then make sure they have
live casino games on offer. These not only offer you a real casino experience
but also a slower pace to play at which allows you the time to think about how
much money you are playing with. Live casino games are also a great place for
those new to the online gambling world as if you have only ever played in a
real casino everything will be familiar to you. You just have to learn how the
on-screen buttons work and you have time to think about it.
Welcome
package
Be careful to understand the deposit bonus scheme and welcome
package. If it is not simple to understand then probably best to move to a site
that has easy to understand packages. This is quite important as some online
casino can trap you into ridiculous betting requirements which will cost you
money rather than give you a bonus. |
