Online Casino Reviews

How we Rate and Review Real Money Online Casinos

There are so many licensed online casinos out there today that players are overwhelmed with options. Choosing a site can be a daunting task, especially for beginners who have no clue what to look for. Your best place to start is by reading our independent online casino reviews that are made from data collected by our testers. Here’s how we do it:

1. We confirm the safety of the site

The first and most important step is to make sure the gambling site is safe and legit, otherwise we simply won’t proceed with a review. First, we check to see if the connection to the operator is private and whether or not there are Secure Sockets Layer or Transport Layer Security protocols in place. But we don’t stop there. In order for online casinos to be worth playing at, they need to use up to date versions of SSL and TSL.

Another vital part in doing our online casino reviews is confirming the player’s safety, and this starts with learning what authority overlooks the gambling operation. Is the casino operator licensed by a reputable issuer like UKGC or MGA? The license needs to be valid and come from a respected authority known for scrutinizing their licensees and making sure the games are not rigged.

2. We deposit funds and test the games

Once we’ve decided the site is indeed safe, we try to deposit money and claim any welcome bonus that is on offer. This step is usually very quick, and once we’re done, we continue by testing the actual game library. Since most online casinos have hundreds or sometimes thousands of slots and table games, this is one of the more time-consuming steps.

Naturally, we can’t try all the games, but we do test a number of games in each category to make sure the game offering is up to our standards. Before publishing our online casino reviews, we test games on PC as well as mobile devices such as smartphones and tablets with iOS and Android.

3. We test the customer support

Once we’ve confirmed the games are on point and can satisfy all the different tastes, we contact customer support. We try the live chats, phone numbers and email addresses to make sure the response is quick and professional.

To make sure the personnel is trained and competent, we also present them with technical problems to solve, and ask questions about their online casinos policy. Information about customer support is vital to writing helpful online casino reviews, so this is an important step in our review process.

4. We try to withdraw money from the site

Online casinos can be safe, legit and have great customer support, but unless you can actually withdraw your winnings, it doesn’t really matter. That’s why we always try to make withdrawals before giving out a rating.

The customer support and license usually give us a good indication of what to expect when writing out online casino reviews. But we want to make 100% sure our readers won’t run into any hassle when requesting a withdrawal. Of course, withdrawal speed also plays a role in how high or low we rate an online casino.

5. We check the reputation of the casino

The reputation of the casino site is also very important for us when we make reviews. To check other users experience of the site is a great way to see if it´s legit and fair. When it comes to new online casinos this step is naturally not applicable.

6. We give the online casino a rating

Once we’re satisfied with our background check and live testing of a site, we give our final rating. If the site is good enough, it’ll be listed on Casinogamesonnet. If not, we will never present the online casino to our readers. In a perfect world, all online casinos would be recommended. Unfortunately, this is not the case, and some online casinos just simply won’t make our lists for one reason or another.
