Here at Slotspedia, we take our slots seriously. In order to review slots we naturally must do online casino tests to provide you the most amazing overall experience. We strive to not only provide the best slots but also the best casinos to play these slots at. That’s why we created a collection of standards that casinos must satisfy.
Security And Data Protection
Our first step in assessing whether the casino is worthy of your time is checking the security and trustworthiness. Casinos must take players’ funds and personal data seriously. So what do we look for?
Legitimate Licence
Legitimate licences from trusted authority sites such as the Malta Gaming Authority, UK Gambling Commission and the Curacao E-Gaming Licencing Authority, along with a few others is a must. Being a Licensed casino is like having a badge of honour, which states that the casino not only can operate legally but that the casino went and continuously go through thorough checks. This is a sign that the casinos take players’ business seriously.
Independent Regulations
We make sure that the games on the site are fair, offering players real RNG gaming opportunities. We check for independent authority sites such as the trusted eCogra.
Valid Encryption
Security is of utmost importance when it comes to wagering at casinos sites. That’s why we check for valid SSL certification. The SSL certification ensures that the data being exchanged from Casino to player and vice versa is encrypted. This ensures the data is not stolen by menacing pirates.
Available Games and Game providers
The games found in the casino are without a shadow of a doubt the main feature a casino can offer. We look for Casinos with a large selection and variation of games.
Since we tend to focus on slots, progressive jackpots are on the priority lists. Progressive Jackpot slots as many slots fans will tell you, usually offer the largest winnings to be had on slots.
An often overlooked step is the availability to allow players the option to play for free. This allows players to get a grasp on the look, feel, and experience the game of choice will offer before spending a single dime.
We also look for games provided by Top developers/Game Providers such as MicroGaming, NetEnt, Betsoft and more. Games provided by these top developers have a reputation for having smooth visuals, high-quality sound, and thrilling animations.
Live Casino experience
Live Casino experiences are a great way to have some wagering fun while utilising traditional dealers for the main part of the gameplay. We look for Live Casino experiences that are smooth, enjoyable and quick. Live Casinos should offer fast streaming services with quick payouts and an easy to understand interface.
Bonus system
With so many online casinos in the market, bonuses and promotions are one of the many features offered by online casinos to entice players to use their sites. Our Team is dedicated to ensuring the online casinos offer bonuses and promotions that are as tasty as they are made to seem and not a “Hansel & Gretel” situation with a nasty surprise such as high wagering requirements.
That’s why we look for casinos that offer great and trustworthy welcome bonuses with reasonable Terms & Conditions that are easy to understand. Our Team takes their time to read the tiny print and point up any snags in the bonus claim process for the benefit of our readers.
Promotions
When it comes to promotions we look for casinos that not only offer welcome bonuses but ongoing promotions such as gifts and freebies to their clientele. We want our readers to look and play at casinos with great T&C’s while also being offered VIP & Loyalty Rewards that have a well-structured scheme for their loyal players. This will allow players to benefit from additional promotions.
VIP perks are an added bonus for High Roller players, we ensure the casino awards high rollers appropriately.
Deposit and withdrawal
No Online casino is complete without banking options. We look for easy and quick access to winnings as well as security just to name a few.
Depositing
We make sure the sign-up process and depositing stage are quick and easy. It’s also important for the casinos to have multiple payment options and accepted currencies.
Fast Withdrawals
Everybody enjoys winnings! That’s why we ensure the casinos offer hassle-free and speedy withdrawals. The longer a site takes to process our funds the worse it will score. Ofcourse the speed of processing will also depend on the payment method chosen and even according to the bank of choice.
Customer service experience
Customer service is one of our major priorities when highlighting a site. No matter the casino you choose to wager at sooner or later you might end up needing some support. That’s exactly why we look for the following features of a casino’s customer support.
The Data is Protected
When using customer service options we tend to disclose some personal information. We look out for our reader’s data and we only recommend casinos that reassure us that the data will only be used for intended purposes and not sold off to third parties without consent.
Wellbeing Features
Before recommending casinos our team tests out the monitoring features that online casinos must have to ensure players’ safety. Casinos should have systems to warn players that they might be taking the fun a bit too far. Casinos offering such services prove that they value their customers.
Support Options & Speedy Solutions
Casinos should offer telephone, email or live chat support options as well as a handy FAQ section for questions easily answered. We also look at the opening hours of customer support services with extra bonus points for casinos offering 24/7 support.
Website vs Mobile app
Making sure the In-browser gameplay offered on the site is a must for us at Slotspedia. We found that many of our readers enjoy gaming through a web browser, hence why we check for Ease of Use(Useability), Quick Sign Up Options, and that the whole process runs smoothly.
We also look out for our mobile users, modern online casinos should offer great services to both web and mobile users.
When it comes to mobile use we check for the screen optimisation, testing out the casino on various devices such as different smartphone options and tablets. The sites must run smoothly and offer seamless gameplay similar to the web versions.
Solid App Experiences for the casinos offering downloadable apps. This is a whole review process by itself checking for all the above-listed criteria we look for.
Conclusion
When reviewing online casinos we look for one’s that tick all if not most of the criteria listed above. Casinos that score high on our books will have most if not all the boxes ticked. We thrive to provide our readers with trustworthy reviews that assure you the site chosen is worth your time while providing excellent security and services.
