Tips for finding a really good online casino
There is a wide range of all sorts of casinos and websites on the internet that you can choose to play at. Whether you like slots and gaming machines, poker, blackjack, roulette or betting, you will find plenty of casinos that offer just that. To find your best online casino, there are a number of different criteria you can keep in mind when looking for a perfect online casino. Next, we will go through a few of these and that we ourselves have used when looking for good casinos on the web, for example, at svenskcasinoportal.com.
Always check the casino's reputation
Always check the casino you want to start playing at and its reputation, as this is very important, especially for people who like to play big. Casinos with a license usually take care of themselves, but some casinos can show “ugly” sides with larger payouts and the like. Therefore, it is significant to check with other players via social media or forums about how their experience was at the casino in question.
You can also verify this by looking for an online casino guide on the web, so make sure you take the time to read as many reviews as you can. If you do this, you will be able to better understand other players' opinions about a specific casino and learn more about the site in question through online reviews.
License and registration
In our opinion, checking in advance what kind of license or permit an online casino has is essential for a good and safe gaming experience. A good casino should have a license/permit from the local authorities to offer games online.
According to us, casinos with a Swedish license are the most secure companies today and come with a number of different benefits, such as:
- Tax-free winnings
- Simple and secure deposit and withdrawal methods.
- The casino has a responsibility towards its visitors and customers.
In addition, licensed casinos are required to follow certain guidelines and rules that come with the license they hold. This gives the customer a certain standard that he or she can expect when playing at a licensed casino.
Check the deposit and withdrawal options
In order to be able to play online at all, you usually have to transfer a certain minimum amount to your casino balance. How this is done differs slightly and depends on whether you play at a casino with regular registration or one without, i.e. a Pay N Play Casino. At a casino with membership requirements, you must first become a member and go through the "Know Your Customer" process. Only then can you choose which method you want to use to deposit a sum of money.
At a Pay N Play casino, it is only necessary to log in to a Directbanking service, such as Swedish Trustly via a BankID, and transfer any amount of money and then start playing immediately. The whole thing often takes less than a minute if no complications arise. Many casinos with a Swedish license today offer both standard methods for payment/membership and the aforementioned arrangement for Pay N Play casinos.
A few common methods that work for deposits and withdrawals and are common in many casinos today include:
- E-wallets such as Neteller, Skrill, PayPal and ecoPayz.
- Direct banking services such as Trustly and Zimpler.
- Credit and debit cards from Visa or MasterCard
- Bank transfers
- Value-added services like PaySafeCard.
The above methods each have their own advantages and disadvantages and something that can be useful to know is the minimum deposit limits for each service and how long it takes for the service to process a withdrawal or deposit.
Choose quality, not quantity
If you visit a casino today, you will quickly find a lot of different games, mainly in the slot machine category. You can find thousands of different slots - as the machines are usually called - of different kinds and from different suppliers and producers. All are produced with different features, extras and at different levels of quality.
Quality is what separates the best games from the rest - and software quality is of the utmost importance when choosing which online casinos to spend your money on. Deciding sites that source their games from the best software providers - such as live casino games from Evolution Gaming or slots and slot machines from NetEnt, Microgaming and Big Time Gaming - is essential for a great online gaming experience.
High-quality games are always preferable and if you've ever visited an unlicensed casino (sites we absolutely do not recommend anyone to play at), you will quickly notice that these "casinos" offer games from unknown and strange providers. If you take a closer look at the games, these are often pure pirated copies of well-known game producers' products.
That said, always choose quality over quantity!
