5 Things All Top Online Casinos Have

Published

on

 

Go online and search for “online casinos,” and you will be overwhelmed with the seemingly endless choices before you even realize it. There are so many options that can be laid out in front of you–all of them claiming to be the best place that you can go to, all of them claiming to have the best deals, and all of them claiming to be the one you are looking for.

So how do you find your best pick among the top online casinos that are available to you? To help you at least narrow down your choices, here are some of the top things all good online casinos have.

License and registration

If a betting site or app is not registered under the government where its head of operations is, then consider that as a red flag that you should be wary of. With that in mind, how would you know that the site that you are looking at right now is has a license? It should be easy–usually, licensed online casinos would have some kind of seal of approval or registration that comes with a registration number of a serial number. Depending on the government-controlled regulating-body that granted it the license, you can go to their website and check if the license is real and legitimate.

After checking and making sure that they are registered, the next thing you should check is the certification that their games have been inspected and have passed the standard for security and gameplay fairness. There are also separate bodies that handle this certification, and one of them is the eCommerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance or eCORGA.

Wide range of payment options

Most of the top sites and apps make it easy for you to deposit money to your account wallet or to withdraw your winnings out of your wallet. With that, they accept payments and withdrawals through the most commonly used means such as a credit or debit card, a bank transfer, or an e-money wallet like PayPal, Skrill, Venmo, Neteller, and many more. Some offshore online casinos even accept cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin.

Good online reviews

You know what people say nowadays: a business is only as good as the feedback people have about them. This is true, in a way as unbiased and fairly balanced reviews can offer new and prospective customers like you an insight into how a business works, how are the services provided, and even how the business addresses customer problems.

However, learn to distinguish a real review from one that is not. There are “paid” reviews that are not real but are only fabricated. On the other hand, there are also malicious negative reviews that are not fair to the business but are from people who were disgruntled towards the service they received for some unfair reason.

Accessible customer service

Do you know what makes people leave a service or stop being a customer of a company? It’s not a bad product or the bad service that they received. Rather, it is the bad customer service and support that made them decide to cut ties with a company. No matter how many bad experiences a customer may get, it is statistically true that they will still go back as a repeat customer so as long as they get the support and service that they feel that they need.

So, find a site or app that has good customer service. Customer support that is available in real-time via live chat or phone call and is open 24/7 is a good sign that you can rely on them should something go wrong while you are playing.

Independent slots studio Thunderkick has agreed a deal with Ontario-based operator Betty to supply the rapidly growing online casino with a diverse collection of globally popular titles.

Betty, an official partner of sporting franchises Toronto Maple Leafs and Toronto Raptors, has risen to prominence since its 2022 establishment, when it was built following the consultation of 300 casino players to create the optimal iGaming environment.

Distinguishing itself from North American competitors by catering specifically to slot enthusiasts rather than sports bettors, the operator has curated a portfolio of 2,800 games, hand-picked to deliver customers maximum entertainment value.

Thunderkick’s content is the latest to be integrated into Betty’s online casino, and the agreement will see a selection of its most popular titles, including The Wildos 2, Midas Golden Touch 3, and Esqueleto Explosivo 3, made available to a greater number of Ontarian players.

Thunderkick marked its debut in the Canadian province in Q2 of 2024, and has since partnered with a network of leading operators to improve its market position. The collaboration with Betty will further amplify its visibility in a key jurisdiction as the provider looks to reinforce its reputation as a global slot developer.

Svante Sahlström, CCO at Thunderkick, said: “It’s our mission at Thunderkick to go deeper, not wider, in 2025. That means forging meaningful, lasting relationships in target markets as opposed to securing as many commercial deals as possible.

“Since entering Ontario over 12 months ago, we have worked tirelessly to enhance our presence in the province, and working with leading brands such as Betty allows us to bring our unique games to a deeper pool of Canadian players.”

Paraskeva Smirnova, Casino Operations Manager at Betty, added: “Betty’s USP has always been our drive to build a slot portfolio with the very best titles from the industry’s most creative suppliers.

“Thunderkick’s passion for slot development is there for all to see, and the introduction of its games to our casino further elevates the consumer experience.”
