How to Find a Safe Online Casino? Expert Tips from SOFTSWISS

As online gaming becomes more popular, so do the risks of ending up on unsafe platforms. Choosing the right platform is crucial for a secure and fair experience. Being advocates of Responsible Gaming, experts at SOFTSWISS, a global tech provider, share practical tips on how to identify reliable online casinos.

How to Spot a Safe Online Casino

Anti-Fraud Support experts at SOFTSWISS Managed Services emphasise that a positive gaming experience begins with careful research. Attention to licensing, compliance history, withdrawal policies, and bonus terms is essential for making informed decisions in the online casino space. 

  • Independent Casino Forums. Reputable online forums are a go-to resource for cautious users, offering peer reviews that spotlight both trustworthy operators and rogue platforms. These communities play a key role in helping users steer clear of scams.

  • Licensing Information. A legitimate casino will clearly display its licence information. When this information is missing or linked to less established jurisdictions, it may signal the need for closer scrutiny to better understand the platform’s operating standards.

  • Responsible Gaming & Data Protection. Trustworthy casinos actively promote responsible gaming by offering self-exclusion tools, deposit limits, and access to support resources. They also follow strict data protection practices, ensuring player information is securely stored and never misused or shared without consent.

  • Bonus & Terms and Conditions Details. Rogue casinos may use vague or unclear wording to void player winnings later. Legitimate casinos always provide clear, transparent conditions.

  • Withdrawal Policies. Reliable casinos process payments promptly and transparently. Delays in withdrawals, especially without justification, may indicate malicious intent.

  • Complaint History & Customer Support. Reviewing popular mediation platforms helps to see how the casino handles player disputes. Ignoring complaints is a major warning sign. Safe casinos provide fast, professional support across various channels. No support or poor service suggests the platform is not reliable.

Emilia Kurzynska, Deputy Team Lead of the Anti-Fraud Team at SOFTSWISS, recommends: “Evaluating overall transparency is key to assessing an online casino’s credibility. Trustworthy platforms share clear operational information, support responsible gaming practices, and maintain professional, consistent communication.”

Red Flags: Signs of a Rogue Online Casino

There are certain indicators that may suggest underlying issues. SOFTSWISS security experts note that careful evaluation of the following details can help minimise potential risks.

  • Copied Design & Interface. Fraudulent platforms sometimes mimic the look and feel of well-known brands. Clues such as mismatched brand names or leftover code snippets – visible in browser developer tools – may indicate imitation.

  • Suspicious Email Promotions. Poorly written or oddly translated emails, especially those landing in spam folders, should be treated with caution. Links in such messages may lead to untrustworthy registration pages.

  • Broken or Limited Game Library. Frequent game crashes or a limited selection may indicate a fake platform focused only on collecting deposits.

  • Payment Redirects to Unknown Domains. Unexpected redirects to unfamiliar or mismatched domains during payment may be a warning sign. These redirects could be attempts to harvest sensitive payment data.

Emilia Kurzynska, summarises: “Choosing the right online casino can make all the difference in players’ gaming experience. Responsible gaming roots in transparency, licensing, a strong reputation, and avoiding platforms that raise red flags. Careful players do their own research and trust their instincts when in doubt.”

When 5 Votes Make All the Difference: A Special Moment at the GamingTECH CEE Awards

At this year’s GamingTECH CEE Awards, we witnessed something rare—and pretty remarkable—in the “Best iGaming CEO in CEE” category.

With 214 total votes cast across 9 nominees, two names clearly rose to the top, standing apart from a highly competitive field:

  • Vlastimil Venclik, CEO at Oddin.gg
  • Dario Jurčić, CEO at NSoft

But here’s where it gets interesting: the difference between them? Just 5 votes.

That’s right—after weeks of online voting and a live secret ballot from summit participants, the final count came down to a 5-vote margin. In a category filled with respected leaders, innovators, and visionaries, two CEOs clearly resonated with the industry in a big way.

And while only one person can technically take home the winner’s trophy, this razor-thin result was too significant to ignore. So, for the first time in the history of the GamingTECH CEE Awards, we decided to introduce something new:

  • An Honorary Runner-Up Trophy for “Best iGaming CEO in CEE” awarded to Dario Jurčić, CEO of NSoft.

Why This Matters

The intent behind this decision is simple: When excellence is nearly indistinguishable, it deserves to be recognized.

Dario Jurčić has played a vital role in expanding NSoft’s influence, strengthening its presence in new markets, and leading with a people-first approach in a rapidly evolving sector. His visibility, leadership, and impact were clearly acknowledged by the voting community—and with just a handful of votes separating him from the top spot, it felt only right to shine a spotlight on that achievement.

A Testament to a Vibrant Industry

The closeness of this race also speaks volumes about the caliber of leadership we’re seeing in the Central and Eastern European iGaming space. With companies like Oddin.gg and NSoft pushing boundaries in their respective verticals, the region continues to establish itself as a dynamic force in the global gaming landscape.

We congratulate Vlastimil Venclik on his well-earned win, and we extend our heartfelt appreciation and applause to Dario Jurčić for standing out in such a competitive field.

Sometimes, even second place can tell a powerful story—and this year, it certainly did.
