Six Things New Casino Operators 2020 Do Differently

Published

Reading Time: 4 minutes

 

Many casino players approach new websites with caution. They’ve heard far too many stories about new operators that never lived up to the hype. And so, they stick to the tried and tested websites.

They use these companies even when they deliver slow payouts, get mean with bonuses and provide lagging websites. But truth be told, today’s new casino operators are some of the best gaming websites online.

Sure, they might not have seas of positive reviews online. But they do certain things players look for in casinos differently. And in many ways, they provide better gaming experiences. Here’s what we mean.

Strict Data Protection Laws

Data privacy is a sensitive topic these days. To show they care about your safety, new casinos have a series of data policies in place. For starters, they provide a data collection form to get your approval beforehand.

Crucially, they also reveal what information they collect. In many cases, it’s data about your personal details: Name, address, contacts, IP address and some cookies. Some of the information is compulsory for KYC verification.

But the beauty of it is that your data is protected by strict laws. Today’s casinos no longer spread your data around for business reasons. And they can’t evade responsibility in case of any breaches. They have to encrypt it and keep it secured.

Responsive, Mobile-friendly Websites

One of the most common complaints by people who use established casinos is that their websites lag often. That’s because many of these brands cram everything that can be gambled on one website.

What’s more, they fail to design their sites for user-friendliness. Or they don’t have teams to help keep games running smoothly 24/7. The result is that many players encounter games that crash, apps that lag and customer staff overwhelmed by complaints.

New casino operators, and you can find the best at Chillslots, are a different ballgame. They have websites designed with players in mind. As a result, they load fast, games are responsive and technical hiccups are resolved instantly.

Due to that, your gaming experience at a new casino is smooth and efficient. You don’t need to worry about losing money to a crashing slot or not getting technical helps. Instead, you can play comfortably on a user-friendly site.

Prioritizing High-Paying Games

Casinos are businesses. As a result, it’s in their best interest to provide games designed to make the house rich. Not new operators, though, at least not the best companies at Zlots.com/new-casinos-sites/. The best new casinos in 2020 prioritize high-RTP games and card games with a low house edge.

They provide these games because they are what players love. In other words, they do it to satisfy their customers: The primary role of every forward-thinking business. Now, not every casino game at new casinos will be worth your time.

But comparatively, you’ll find far more high-quality games at new casinos than old ones. For clarity, great games aren’t just about payout rates. They also feature advanced graphics, great soundtracks, in-game features and jackpots.

Quick Payouts

It’s true—many casinos have a problem with paying money to winners. They enforce an unnecessarily long pending time—Aimed at verifying that a person won fairly. And they take even more time to process a payment.

With that in mind, many new casinos view payment duration as an opportunity to widen their share of the gambling market. Instead of delaying players’ money, they deliver it quickly. They also improve on other payment-related issues people have.

For example, the best new casinos charge little or no withdrawal fees. They have flexible limits (small minimum deposits and high maximum withdrawals). And they don’t feature an option to reverse a withdrawal to help people cash out successfully.

In case you’re wondering, quick casino payouts mean one or two days. Anything longer than that is average. However, note that payouts to banks and credit cards tend to take longer than two days at most casinos.

Acquiring Public Audits

One of the biggest problems new casinos face is convincing people to test their services. Most people don’t like spending money at new businesses anyway. As a sign of trust, a lot of new operators have their games and services audited by an independent auditor.

Thwate, eCOGRA, GLI and iTechLabs are the most respected casino auditors. They check games to ensure they are fair. And they audit payments to verify that a company pays out to every winner timely.

Add a license from a respected regulator, a safe website and bonuses and many people won’t have a reason to fear a new casino. Audits provide enough social proof that a casino is genuine and provides commendable services.

Fair Bonuses

Nearly every casino has bonuses these days. However, they differ in the quality of their incentives. Lots of established businesses give out generous amounts but include tough terms and conditions for players.

On the flip side, more and more new casinos are providing unique fair bonuses that give players a fair chance to withdraw their wins. They might not give out £5000. But you could get £50 with 10x wagering requirements. Or you could receive a cashback for 10% of your monthly losses.

In other words, bonuses from new casinos hold a lot more value than those you get elsewhere. It’s like they are designed to help magnify your profits and not as a marketing gimmick.

That said, they also tend to feature open policies. You don’t just receive a bonus without knowing the terms. You receive an incentive plus a list of all the terms involved. That way, you only claim it if you think it can work in your favor.

Conclusion

Lots of new casinos keep opening. And not all of them can be trusted. However, the best of them are doing certain things differently: Fair bonuses, data privacy, high-paying games and quick payouts.

So, before you dismiss a new casino because it’s not a renowned brand, check out its services. There’s a chance it provides better services that many branded operators.
