As you know, there are thousands of casinos out there and all of them have the same goal – get players. Most of them look the same when you step in. So it would be easy to think, that they all are the same. But, unfortunately, that is not true. There are lots of differences among them, you just usually do not see them before you face any problems. So, what makes a good online casino?

Let´s start with the first difference that the player faces – bonuses. Some of the brands have some spins upon registration, some do not. But do not mistake these spins as some kind of free money that can make you rich. Most of the casinos in the UK place high wagering requirement on these and/or a cap on the winnings. In a good case, you can usually get up to £1000 out of that. Ok, even if you manage to win and withdraw that, it is good. After all, it was won with free money. So, when you are trying to choose the no deposit casino bonus for yourself, take a look at the wagering requirements and cashout limits. The best one may not always be the one with most spins.

Then there are the deposit bonuses. What to look at that is pretty much the same. Even though the bonus may sound high, it becomes pretty useless if the winnings are capped to a small amount. There are brands who limit the winnings down to £250, which is very sad. If the winnings are capped, we mention that in our reviews. Then another thing to keep an eye on is the wagering requirement. Imagine having a bonus of £1000 and wagering that 80 times, and you´d have to do that in less than 7 days. All you´d have to do is play. Generally, fair wagering requirements go up t0 60x.

But if you are not into bonuses, you do not have to worry about these issues. These following issues though touch every player.

Withdrawal times and payment methods – Can vary a lot between the casinos. In best cases you get your money out in a few hours, in the worst case in 10 days. Usually, E-wallets are faster than typical bank transfers. And these times can vary a lot between casinos as well as the payment methods. We list all the available payment methods in each review. Before you start to play, check if the brand has your payment method available.

Customer service – Nowadays CS is good pretty much anywhere and there is at least an option to send an email. Some brands give you the option to reach their representative in Live Chat 24/7. If a casino does not have any option to contact them, you should not play on this site. What could you do, if you face any issues?

Game selection – Biggest casinos these days have thousands of games from dozens of game providers. The sad ones have a few games which they have developed on their own. The latter one does not sound very trustworthy, right? Especially in cases where your winnings suddenly vanish for any reason such as sudden internet loss. Then the casino would say that you never had any winnings. What could you do? Playing games which are developed by big brands such as NetEnt and Microgaming have many benefits towards players and not to forget to mention that their games are good. The bigger the selection, it is more likely that you´ll find your favourite one among them.

And the common saying goes here too. Trust your guts. If something feels tricky, there is a chance that something is tricky, so you should not take that risk with your money.

If you want some help, take a look at the list of best online casinos. We have already done all the hard work and read the terms and conditions of each casino, so we have gathered the brands we believe are good for the players.
