Maple Casino Launches “Find Your Perfect Casino” Tool
- New function will enable gambling fans to find the best casino based on their gaming preferences
- Detailed assessment of each online casino ensures users can discover the highest quality sites
Leading Canadian online gaming expert Maple Casino, has launched a brand new tool designed to help online casino gamers find a gambling site compatible with their specific needs.
The new Find Your Perfect Casino Tool (FYPC) tool has been created to help online gamblers find their ideal online casino based on their gaming preferences.
The comprehensive tool helps users navigate an online gambling market which is drastically oversaturated, where new and even existing players struggle to find a casino that fulfils all of their needs.
Maple Casino looks at six key aspects in its evaluation process that are crucial for enhancing a player’s overall online gambling experience.
Bonus Options – The best operators have VIP programs, rewards programs, a generous welcome bonus, and other frequent offers that can be used for their best games. Therefore each site is thoroughly examined on its wager requirements, expiry dates, the games that the bonus can be redeemed on, the frequency at which they are offered, and much more.
Game Offerings – Maple considers the kind of games that a real money casino has in its catalogue, checking both quantity and variety of games in numerous categories. In addition, checks are made to ensure games are of the highest quality, and that they are designed by some of the best software providers in the industry.
Banking Options – Maple investigates each site to make certain that the most popular banking methods are available, such as; Interac, Visa, Mastercard, and Bitcoin. Any additional options are an added bonus, and further show the quality of the site.
Payout Speed – Players’ request to deposit money into their casino account should be processed instantaneously, and most reputable casinos process withdrawal within one to six business days. If a casino fails to process both of these transactions in a timely manner, it will not be recommended by the FYPC tool.
Customer Support – Maple analyses how players can get in touch with a casino – via telephone, email, live chat, or all three services – and also considers factors like response time, support knowledge, and overall friendliness of the staff.
Mobile Friendly – On some sites the difference in quality between a mobile device and on desktop can be considerable. Therefore Maple compares the quality and user experience on mobile and desktop version to see whether they are consistent between devices.
Commenting on the launch, a spokesperson for Maple Casino said: “In such a crowded market like online gambling for real money, the options for players are endless. This tool will save time and energy for people who want to play online, and connect them with a casino that will provide the most enjoyable gambling experience.
“Maple Casino’s mission since its inception has been to create a space for players to come and educate themselves on the topic of online gambling, and to be the most trusted source for finding, reviewing, and honestly rating online casinos. We believe that the “Find Your Perfect Casino” tool will take all that hard work and streamline it at the click of a button.”
