Six Things New Casino Operators 2020 Do Differently

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.

BetBlocker launches dedicated Japanese language version of its support tool

UK and US charity, BetBlocker, is dedicated to providing its free and entirely anonymous blocking software in as many languages as possible. The addition of a Japanese language variant takes the charity closer to its goal of catering to all users in their native tongues.
The team at BetBlocker are thrilled that they have been able to develop several new language versions of their tool in the early part of 2025. Understanding how vital it is to the prevention of gambling harms that users are able to exert control over their gambling habits, BetBlocker fully recognises the need to offer services in its users’ native languages. To this end, the team will continue to strive to add further language versions in 2025. In 2020, the figure for native Japanese language speakers amounted to around 123 million people. In 2024, the journal BMC Public Health published the results of a study into the national burden of gambling in Japan and concluded that of 126.8 million Japanese citizens, 39 million had gambled in 2019. Of that 39 million it was extrapolated that 4.4 million experienced financial harm as a result of gambling. It is, therefore, of vital import that BetBlocker’s gambling management tools be made available in Japanese.
The release of the Japanese version of BetBlocker’s software has only been possible due to the support of Kenta Shintani. BetBlocker is indebted to Mr. Shintani for taking on this translation project pro bono and thanks him profusely for his philanthropy. There is no doubt that his work will benefit the lives of many Japanese nationals.
Founder and Trustee for BetBlocker, Duncan Garvie, was approached for a comment on this latest language release and he was effusive in his thanks of Mr. Shintani: “BetBlocker has managed to translate its services into many languages and has significantly accelerated the rollout of new language support over the last 6 months. However, the vast majority of our support has been focused on languages originating in Europe.
Being able to extend the service to an important Asian community is a significant milestone for BetBlocker, helping us move towards the truly international ethos that the service has always wanted. We’re very honoured to have the support of civic minded citizens like Mr. Shintani. Their support invariably has a positive impact on hundreds of lives every single day, ensuring that the people of Japan can access the support that blocking software offers.”

ESFI’s Lokesh Suji Re-Elected as Asian Electronic Sports Federation VP, South Asia, Strengthening India’s Esports Leadership

In a significant boost for Indian esports, Lokesh Suji has been re-elected unopposed as Vice President for South Asia in the Asian Electronic Sports Federation (AESF) during its recent online Electoral General Assembly in Hong Kong for a four-year term. Holding this position since AESF’s inception, Suji’s re-election highlights India’s growing influence in international esports, reinforcing the Esports Federation of India’s (ESFI) role in shaping the region’s competitive gaming landscape.
The AESF Electoral General Assembly, chaired by outgoing President Kenneth Fok, convened representatives from 38 member nations and OCA Deputy Director General Vinod Tiwari. Thailand’s Santi Lothong secured the AESF Presidency with a simple majority, alongside new Vice Presidents for different Asian zones.
“I am deeply grateful for the continued trust placed in me and extend my sincere thanks to Kenneth (Fok) for his leadership and guidance over the years. I also look forward to working closely with Santi (Lothong) for this next phase. This re-election is not just a personal milestone but a testament to the remarkable growth of esports in India and South Asia. Esports in Asia is entering a defining era, and I am committed to ensuring that our players, federations, and stakeholders receive the recognition, opportunities, and platforms they deserve,” said Lokesh Suji, Vice President, South Asia, of AESF and Director of ESFI.
As Asia’s esports governing body, recognised by the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA), AESF has been instrumental in getting esports included in Asian Games and hosting major tournaments like the Asian Esports Games 2018 and the Asian Games 2022, featuring top titles such as Dota 2, Street Fighter 6, and FIFA Online. AESF has also been selected as the Technical Delegate for Esports at the 20th Asian Games Aichi-Nagoya 2026.
Commenting on Suji’s re-election, Santi Lothong, the incoming AESF President, said: “Having worked alongside Lokesh for years, I have witnessed his unwavering dedication to developing esports in South Asia and beyond. His leadership, vision, and relentless efforts have helped shape the region’s competitive landscape. I look forward to continuing our collaboration and strengthening esports across Asia under this new leadership phase.”
Kenneth Fok, the outgoing AESF President, added: “Lokesh has been a steadfast pillar in AESF’s journey, always pushing to elevate esports across Asia. His passion and commitment have left a lasting impact, shaping key initiatives and strengthening our community. It’s been a pleasure working alongside him, and I am confident he will continue driving esports forward.”
Under Suji’s leadership, India has made significant strides in esports, with historic medal finishes in the Commonwealth Esports Championship 2022, BRICS Esports Championship and Asian Esports Games and strong performances in the Asian Games 2018 and 2022, where Indian athletes proved their mettle against the world’s best. ESFI is further cementing India’s esports dominance with the WAVES Esports Championship (WESC) —a pioneering initiative that fosters homegrown talent and provides Indian players with an international platform to compete at the highest level. WAVES Esports Championship is one of the ‘Create in India Challenge’ as part of Ministry of Information & Broadcasting’s marque event ‘World Audio Visual & Entertainment Summit’ (WAVES) to be held on 1-4 May 2025, Mumbai.
Recognized by and Member of the International Esports Federation, Asian Esports Federation, and Global Esports Federation, ESFI remains dedicated to strengthening India’s position on the global esports stage.
