Getting the Most from an Online Casino

We all know cowboy casinos exist; these renegades must be boycotted. Here are a few tips for new players so as not to get caught out gambling online. Firstly, choose a fully licenced, safe casino. The top casinos have a reputation to protect, well-known brands are usually more trustworthy, but the new and smaller casinos often temp you with bigger bonuses. They realise they are a riskier proposition for players and often have little reputation or trust associated with larger brands.

Pick an Offer that Suits You

Check out the casino T&C’s. You will find out more about their current offers. It will also tell you what game restrictions apply, wagering etc.

Simple and Transparent Offer Terms

So, if you’re going to gamble, stick to well-researched, safe sites and search for uncomplicated significant terms. It’s a giveaway when the T&Cs are confusing or illegible. The cowboys aim to confuse you with complicated jargon and tricky terms and conditions. Top casinos have this down to a fine art, keeping them short and simple.

Play with a UK Licensed Operator

When choosing a new casino for your next online experience, it’s important to go with a regulated operator. Enter the casino’s name on the UKGC website, which will tell you its operating license number and the jurisdictions where it is licenced to operate. All regulated casinos will have this information displayed on the site’s footer.

Player RTP% - The Theoretical Average Return To Player

Player RTP% -The Theoretical Average Return To Player They use licensed and certified Random Number Generators to ensure players receive fair returns. We look for an RTP of 94-98%. Licensed operators are closely watched, so fairness, quality and trust are often built in. We study the stats of the RTP figures (return to player). In a good casino, the RTP will typically be above 94 to 98% (in the best-case scenario), which means all gamblers across the board get an aggregate of between 94 & 98% returned to them, which is fantastic. A simple calculation to explain that, for every £100 a slot takes, it will return £94.00 to players on average.

Quality Software and Game Studios

Look for games that suit your personality or interests. Look for tier 1 developers. Big Time Games, IGT, Quickspin, Microgaming. If you don’t know the casino, the game developers or the governing licensing body, you should adjust your rudder and steer clear.

What Happens When Casinos Break the Rules?

When casinos get it wrong, they are fined very heavily.
