Real Money Casino is committed to offering you the best available information on online casinos. Every online casino we review has to go through a stringent 10-step process to be featured on our website. In this section, we elaborate on how we painstakingly review every detail regarding an online casino and advise you whether to invest your money or stay away from it.
Our 10-step process involves seeking answers to 10 unique questions. The questions are:
- Does the online casino have a license or registration?
- What security does the online casino offer its players?
- What deposit and withdrawal options are provided by the online casino?
- How fast are the payouts?
- Is the UI (User Interface) user-friendly?
- What variety of games does the casino offer?
- What are the payout rates?
- What bonuses and promotions are offered by the casino?
- Are there any loyalty programs or VIP perks for the players?
- How is the customer service?
The answers to these 10 questions are compiled along with the online user reviews to bring you our unfiltered opinion on online casinos. Now, let’s go through our 10-step process in detail.
- Licensing: Licensing is the foremost thing we look for in an online casino. Read through any of our reviews, you’ll find us mentioning whether an online casino has an active license number or not. An online casino should have proper licensing and should be regulated by a government authority. This adds legitimacy to an online casino. We look out for licenses issued by the Gaming Commission of Curacao, the Malta Gaming Authority, the Kahnawake Gaming Commission, and the UK Gambling Commission. If an online casino is registered and regulated by a governing authority, you will have a place to complain, if ever things go haywire.
- Security: The security offered by an online casino is determined by the SSL encryption it offers and the security it provides to the player’s data and transactions. We encourage casinos with the latest state-of-the-art security systems and IT infrastructure to prevent any fraudulent activities with malicious intent. Real Money Casino values each player’s privacy and your data needs to be safe. Therefore we promote casinos with the latest 256-bit SSL encryption. If the casino is using a relatively old method of encryption, you can be assured that it will be mentioned in the ‘cons’ list. We also make sure the games provided by an online casino are based on an up-to-date random number generator (RNG), that makes sure the results are random.
- Deposit and Withdrawal Options: Fiat currencies are a thing of the past. We actively review online casinos that support new-age payment methods along with traditional banking, for easy transactions. Banking methods such as cryptocurrencies, credit and debit cards, e-wallets, and direct bank transfers are some of the methods offered by the best online casinos. In our review, we will mention how easy it is to create an account, verify it, and make a deposit. Similarly, we also mention the variety of withdrawal methods on offer. The minimum and maximum limits will also be mentioned in our reviews.
- Payout Speed: The most important part of online gambling is how fast the transactions are. Online casino players always prefer casinos with faster payout speeds than casinos that offer game variety. This is the one thing that can make or break an online casino. Due to this sole reason, in our reviews, we mention the methods of withdrawals, processing fees, and processing time required for the transactions. Most of the cryptocurrency transactions are fast and secure. Therefore we mostly promote casinos that are crypto-friendly and could offer you peace of mind when it comes to payout.
- User Interface (Website, Desktop, and Mobile): For an online casino to operate smoothly, its website needs to be easy to navigate, highly optimized for all devices, and should load up quickly. Some of the top online casinos have downloadable software for an immersed gaming experience. However, most of the online gamblers use their smartphone for gaming. So the online casino must be accessible to people having an Android phone or an iPhone. We test whether the website and the instant-play games load up smoothly on mobile devices and give you a smooth in-browser experience.
- Game Variety: An online casino should have a good collection of casino games spanning different themes and genres. This ensures that its players will never run out of new games to try. Most of the online casinos make use of global-leading game providers to run their games and this ensures a good gaming experience. These game providers are also mentioned in our casino reviews. The game variety should include multiple options in online slot games, roulette, baccarat, poker, blackjack, jackpot, keno, and live dealer games. Our team plays the games and promotes the games that offer the best gaming experience. We also mention whether the games in a casino can be played for free before playing them for real using real money.
- Payout rates (RTP): RTP or Return to Player should always be high and a fair amount. If a game is said to have a high RTP, you will get the highest earnings for playing the game. The %RTP for online casino games should be between 95 and 100 for assured returns when you win the game. We promote casinos that have high RTP games. The RTP of each online casino is usually explained on its website. It is best to check the %RTP before you start a game, or you might be scammed. To prevent this, our dedicated team goes through the website, searching for any details on the RTP mentioned. If not, we will consult with customer care or play the games ourselves a random number of times to determine the RTP.
- Bonuses and Promotions: It is important to have a set of bonuses and promotions to increase your chances of winning in an online casino. Our experts go through the bonuses and promotions offered by the casinos we review and explain in detail, how to redeem the bonuses, what codes to enter, the wagering requirement, and the maximum cashout for each bonus. Our review will contain comprehensive information that you need to know about all of the bonuses and promotions offered by an online casino. The comp point system and different tournaments offered by the online casinos will also be mentioned in our reviews.
- Loyalty and VIP Perks: Apart from bonuses and promotions, online casinos offer many perks to their loyal and consistent players in the form of loyalty schemes and VIP programs. The VIP program is usually tiered and has different levels for its players. You can climb up the levels according to the money you wager. Our reviews bring out the best VIP programs that offer you the best perks and offers.
- Customer Service: Having excellent customer support is as important as the games provided. There should be 24/7 dedicated customer support made available by the online casinos to resolve the issues arising for its players. Our reviews look at the variety of options available for customer support and also the promptness of the customer support executives. The customer support executives should be experienced and knowledgeable on everything related to online gambling. Live chat, email support, and direct telephone contacts are some of the customer support options provided by the best online casinos. Our team also tests how fast and responsive the customer support of each casino is, before mentioning it in the review.
Apart from these 10 steps, our team goes through hundreds of online user reviews and takes note of the issues. We look for these issues, in particular, to know whether it is still a problem or if it is resolved. Real Money Casino promotes fair gaming. Even though we review almost all of the online casinos, we only promote websites that offer the utmost security and privacy to their users.
