Online Casinos in general: What makes a good online casino for you?

I wanted to ask you what is a good online casino for you, what criteria do you have for the evaluation and what would be the optimal online casino for you.

I would like to ask you to refrain from naming specific providers. Of course, for each player the casino is the best, where he personally wins the most. This should not be used as a criterion, since personal winnings say nothing about the quality of a casino. One player has more luck in a casino in the short or maximum medium term, the other has more bad luck in the same casino in the short or medium term. Players have (with the exception of some progressive Jackpot games) the same chances of winning at any time in any reputable casino with a proper gambling license and original software.

Well I'll get started. For me, the optimal Online Casinos must offer the following:

Extremely important | Fast, reliable payouts & uncomplicated and customer-friendly Verification procedure. Absolute Trust!

Very important | European gambling license (UK, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Malta, Alderny)

Important | Little advertising by email and no harassment by phone calls or letters by mail.

Important | A good and varied selection of slot games.

Important | Clear layout & good usability.

Neutral | Good support

Neutral | A good and extensive bonus offer. The trust might also be important here.

Not so important | Player protection (as long as this is present and corresponds to the current average standards)


These are my personal selection criteria for a good online casino. Surely every player has his own criteria. TomWegas will certainly put me through the meat grinder, as we have always been of divided opinion - which is ok! Since I myself am addicted to gambling and affected by it, I also consider player protection important. But player protection and its implementation is more of a general problem that politicians and regulators would have to tackle - for example, through a Europe-wide blacklist. Individual casinos are currently not in a position to protect players anyway. Even the online casino with the most ingenious player protection will not be able to protect a single addict, since banned players continue to gamble in other online casinos or, in the worst case, go gambling in gambling establishments / pubs, etc ...

You're lucky Daniel, my meat grinder is broken



Regarding Player protection, you would first have to define what falls under it for whom and what the minimum requirements are. What I personally find particularly disturbing is the attempted Manipulation of players (e.g. the Karamba mails) and in some cases the deliberate exploitation of an addiction, as has been the system for years at Novomatic Casinos (StarGames)

I myself am now in the position that knowing about these manipulations at a Provider keeps me away more than any block or limit. Therefore it does not concern me personally any more. I'm more concerned about the people who are not so into the matter, like someone who operates daily or 5 times a week gambling / has operated, which is imo also not normal. That is at least massively addictive behavior, if not already gambling addiction.

For example, the points you perceive as Important: "Little advertising by email and no harassment by phone calls or letters by mail." and "/Fast, reliable payouts & straightforward and customer-friendly Verification procedure. Absolute trust!" as well as "European gambling license (UK, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Malta, Alderny)" also touch on what for me personally falls under player protection. It is a wider field for me than it probably is for you.

You probably mean it more in terms of Gambling addiction prevention. For someone who is already addicted, this is of course partly invalid. Because setting limits is more a prevention measure than a solution against gambling addiction. At least as it is the case today, without a central blocking/limiting possibility. If it would be centrally regulated then it would be addiction control or containment. Imo a containment is enough ala I push regulated in the month of my set sum X away and more goes then just not. Or only with advance of e.g. 7 days. So escalations would be contained as far as possible. Because even gambling addicts have within several days times a light moment in which you might reconsider whether it was a good idea to set the limit of 500 to 100000 euros a month...

Otherwise, I almost agree with you on the requirements for OCs.

Edit: Addendum to make it clearer. Player protection is for me like consumer protection, there is just a lot under it. I am interested in how the providers deal with the players and I don't see it from a partner's point of view (ala the main thing is max profit). For me, the players are the center of attention and all this includes player protection. Gambling is already generally manipulative (keyword subconscious) and therefore the field is very broad and affects basically all areas. Mistakes" can be made everywhere (mostly intentionally) by providers to harm players and this is very widespread.

1. Game selection. Varied many different providers.
2. Deposit and withdrawal options. Everything from Giropay to Neteller should be represented.
3. Excellent support, which does not need 24 hours to respond.
4. Wins of course. Although there should be the thing with luck...
5. Modern design.
6. Various promotions like at Casumo and LVBet and EnergyCasino for example
7. Payouts that take no longer than 24 hours

Thanks. To point 4: Is purely a matter of luck. If 10 casinos offer Book of Ra, then you always have the same chances of winning with this game in every online casino at any time. If you would play the game in all 10 casinos for 1 year at a time 24/7, then you would have the same losses in each casino at the end. Only in the short term can you be more lucky or unlucky in a casino.

True, but when you play in a casino where you like to be, you automatically associate the win with the casino
