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.

Ontario has become a hugely important growth market since the province launched regulated online gaming in 2022. It was worth $2.4 billion in 2024, with $63 billion in wagering, the lion’s share coming from online casinos.

Jani Kontturi, Head of Games at SkillOnNet said: “ELK Studios is known for its high-quality games that blend unique storytelling and humour with high levels of engagement and playability, which is why we’re delighted to introduce them to Ontario. We believe they will perform successfully, as they have in other markets around the world.”

Playnetic, the in-demand global B2B iGaming content provider known for its quality games, reliable delivery and outstanding customer service, has announced the approval of its gaming-related supplier application by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO).

As a result of the approval, Playnetic has now secured its first Canadian market entry and will be able to provide its library of innovative games to licensed operators in the Ontario region – with this starting point paving the way for further expansion into other regulated provinces in future.

Given signs of change emerging within the Canadian market and Alberta making progress toward a regulated online model – likely drawing from Ontario’s framework – this license positions Playnetic strongly to expand its footprint in the country and further solidifies the company’s ambitious growth plans.

In the meantime, Playnetic has already begun making groundwork with key operators in the Ontario region and is looking forward to going live with some exciting brands over the coming months. The company will also be attending SBC’s Canadian Gaming Summit from June 17-19, where both existing and new potential partners alike are welcome to stop by and meet the team.

Dan Phillips, Chief Executive Officer at Playnetic, said: “Acquiring AGCO approval for our gaming-related supplier application is undoubtedly a big step for Playnetic. The new license not only secures our first Canadian market entry, but also reaffirms Playnetic’s position as a trusted provider in iGaming and underlines our commitment to compliance and operational excellence.”

Julian Borg-Barthet, Chief Commercial Officer at Playnetic, said: “We’re very excited to now be in a position to offer our library of innovative gaming content in Ontario, and the groundwork to do that with some of the region’s biggest licensed operators is already underway. Over time, we’re confident this license will also help us expand further into current markets and emerging regulated provinces, such as Alberta.”
