How we test online casinos
Before we add a new casino site to our top 10 best online casinos, the casino has to undergo multiple strict and extensive tests.
We have developed a testing method that allows us to determine how good the casino is precisely.
We always examine four critical elements of the casino: safety, casino games, customer service, and promotions. We test all casinos by registering, wagering, and withdrawing money at least twice. Furthermore, we put customer service to the test by asking several questions, ranging from easy day-to-day issues to more complex queries that require more knowledge and time.
Safety: is the gaming environment safe and secure? Is the site reliable? Is your private data encrypted? Where is the casino licensed?
Casino games: how are the quality and quantity of the games that are offered? Does the casino have the best pokies from the most respected game developers? Will you find progressive jackpot pokies? Is there a live casino?
Customer service: at what speed are withdrawals processed? What are the payment options? Is there a live chat option, and how well does customer service respond to questions or problems? Are the terms and conditions clear and fair?
Promotions: what kind of (welcome) promotions are offered, and how good are the bonus terms and conditions?
Australian Interactive Gambling Amendment Bill passed
In March 2016, the Interactive Gambling Amendment Bill 2016 was officially passed by the Australian Senate. This bill aimed to eliminate online gambling activities offered in the country, including online gambling online poker.
As a result, several large gaming brands have left the Australian Market, leaving the Australian online casino player somewhat stranded.
It is not illegal for Australians to gamble online, but a lot of licensed, trustworthy casino operators have decided to no longer accept new Australian customers. These operators include Spin Palace, Royal Vegas, Grand Reef, G’Day, Hello Casino, LeoVegas, Vera & John, Casumo, GUTS, Rizk, and Thrills.
Netent and Microgaming pull out of Australia
Software providers Netent and Microgaming have decided to leave the Australian market due to the IGA Bill.
As a result, Australian online gamblers will miss popular slots such as Immortal Romance, Starburst, and Jack and the Beanstalk.
Pokie players seem to have embraced Pragmatic Play pokies such as Wolf Gold, Vegas Nights, and 7 Monkeys to get their gambling itch scratched.
