What makes a good online casino?

Choosing an online casino to play can seem very intimidating when you first start, because there are literally thousands of them. Some of them are good, some of them not so good and a there are a few out there (unfortunately) that are pretty much only looking to steal your cash.

We've been researching and playing at online casinos for over 10 years and during that time have seen plenty of them come and go. This is why it is so important to choose and online casino that is trusted and reputable and with a good management team.

When we decide on our listings we have two main priorities that we put above all other things, to make sure

• The casino must be reputable and safe to play at. No matter how good the games are, if a casino won't let you cash out your winnings, or give you the support you need, just when you need it the most, there is no point.

Portugal casinos and gambling guide has information like: A Portugal casino list, poker tournaments, information on slots, pari-mutuel (greyhounds & horses), Texas Hold'em, and more. Find casino contact information and view pictures of every casino in Portugal.

• The games must be world-class. This might sound like a dumb thing to say, but if the games are not enjoyable then again, what's the point? We like to list casinos that provide games that are identical to, or as good as the games in Vegas.

Online Casino Reputation and Trust

The first point, which is our main concern is actually pretty complex and involves a lot of research into the management and the way they run the business.

We particularly like to list companies that are listed on a public stock exchange because of the responsibility that the company has to pay to the regulations (Government regulations) and also to their shareholders.

In places like the US, where you will not find a Government regulated online slots casino listed on the stock exchange (well, apart from in NJ, but that's a different matter), we generally choose to list social casinos, rather than casinos where you can win cash.

Social casinos offer a lot of fun and excitement, because when you win, you actually see some sort of pay-back, rather than just tokens. By that, we mean you get to compete against other players and also unlock new games as you progress through the levels.

For other countries, like Canada and UK, just about all the casinos we list are run by companies listed on the UK stock exchange. All of these companies are Government regulated in the UK and so must stick to the (very strict) UK regulations.

This Government assurance is important - it means you always get a fair game and if you ever have a complaint or question, it will be taken very seriously. If not, you can go straight to the Government ombudsman and they will take the issue forward for you.

Online Casino Games

When it comes to the second point listed above, this is a much easier question to answer, because player reviews of the games quickly let us know if an online casino is doing a good job in bringing you the best games.

At the same time, though, different people enjoy playing different games. So, there might be an online casino out there where I absolutely love the games and the quality of the games could be excellent, but it might not appeal to you.

It is tue to say that different casino software producers appeal to different people.

So, what we do with our listings is give a really good selection, when it comes to the slots they offer. You will find a nive range of casino software options when you compare the different casinos.

What I personally recommend is trying a few of the casinos out and seeing which one(s) you are enjoying the most.
