I took a pole from old time online casino enthusiasts and listened to hat they had to say. I cant agree with the result 100 but there is a general consensus amongst them on what they look for when they are hunting down a new stomping grounds for Online casino gambling fun. In short here is the list of prerequisites in the order of importance.
A Player opinions
B Transparency

C Past History
D Licensing Jurisdiction
E Software
F Layout, design and content of the site
A Player opinions
Other players opinions go along way with online casino players. Of coarse they are a unique group that tend to gather on certain forums on the internet and yak it up day in and day out. There . There are a lot of poor losers but at the end of the day you get the feeling which casinos are fair and treat their players like they should. This is a lot of good info on specific casinos.
B Transparency
Here is a quote from an old timer I thought was descriptive:
“It s all about transparency for me. I want to know who they are, where they are, who licenses them, what affiliations they have (if any), if they are approachable and open.... that type of thing. Bottom line, I want honesty.”
Another put in his two cents worth in this way:
“For me its a general feeling I get from their website and staff. If the wording of their terms and condition are clear and unambiguous and when I speak to their staff I don t get the feeling they re solely trying to con me this goes along way with me.”
C Past History
Past history can be gathered from talking with players. Otherwise you are shooting on the dark. History can also be gathered at online forums. There are forums specifically for slot, roulette, poker or what ever game has your interest. The forums have archives that can be accessed some going back many years.
D Licensing Jurisdiction
The general consensus on good medium or very poor countries that give licensing is important to most professional online gamblers. Trusted jurisdictions include the Channel Islands, Isle Of Man, Alderney, Gibraltar. A few examples of moderately trusted Jurisdictions are Malta, Kahnawake and Antiuga. But this does not guarantee a good casino. Yet it could help in sniffing one out.
E Software
Some software providers guard their programs well and are rightfully concerned about certain unscrupulous casinos giving them a bad name. Then other software providers “let the dogs run” as they say. In this regard some of the better software companies would be NetEnt, Wagerworks, Cryptologic. The worst is unanimously stated to be RTG. RTG gives their players different versions of the same slot games and lets them switch high paying versions and lower paying versions at their discretion.
F Layout, design and content of the site
Layout is important but reputation and the software provider comes first. I always, always recommend playing in practice mode before depositing. Then when I do deposit I only depositing a small sum, playing, and cashing out the balance, before depositing a large sum.
