The idea behind Legit.Casino – a story about legitimacy

Published

Reading Time: 3 minutes

Hello, Mr Stoychev. Thank you for agreeing to ask you a few questions about your Legit.Casino project. Could you tell us in a few sentences what is the main idea behind the project and what is its goal?

Thank you for the invitation. The idea behind LEGIT CASINO is not new and has been brewing in me for a few years. My life has been closely connected with gambling since I was an adult and I dare to say that I have experience in betting. Even as a student, I started betting and learning all types of bets and games. Times were dynamic. There was no gambling law passed in my country and there were hundreds of sites that accepted bets without a problem.

Over the years I have been scammed many times by casinos and bookies and had my money confiscated. Times were different and most casinos were unlicensed and there was no authority to complain to. This made me very angry but my hands were tied and there was nothing I could do. Eventually I set up a website to play free casino games and advertised all sorts of casinos (unlicensed included). Unfortunately, even as an affiliate of these casinos I was scammed a few times and then came the idea for Legit.Casino.

I decided to create a platform that would be really open and honest. No exceptions! I noticed that even sites like Casino.Guru and AskGamblers give unrealistically high ratings to sites that don’t deserve it. I have no idea what the reason is and I don’t want to know. This makes me hopeful, because since they have a problem with rating, I can create a more perfect way to rate and be more honest with players. I started Legit.Casino and created the LegitoMeter, which is a meter that measures several important factors that determine the legitimacy of a casino.

 

How will your honest ratings and reviews help casino players?

For a casino player it is extremely important to come across a legitimate casino. There are many reasons for this, but one of the most important is that a player can opt out if they wish through the so-called Self Exclusion Rule. If the casino is illegitimate it will not have this option at all. We often notice how unlicensed casinos have no such rule at all, and if a person with a gambling problem gets into it he has no way to turn off his account to stop gambling. This is just one of the reasons why finding a legit casino is so important.

Through our reviews, players will be able to find out if a casino is legitimate or not. We created this site with this very purpose in mind, and we think we’re doing pretty well so far. We have already rated over 500 online casinos and each rating and given after a thorough analysis of the platform. We have not hidden a single flaw of a casino.

 

What are the most important factors when evaluating a casino?

Of course, it’s the license. Without a license, it’s hard to say that a casino can be fair. Of course, there are examples of unlicensed casinos that do really well and treat their customers fairly. But they are very few.

 

Which state-issued license do you think is best for a casino to hold?

There are many reputable jurisdictions that issue gambling licenses. My opinion is that one of the strictest and most vigilant about the rules is from the Gambling Commission in UK. As you know they often revoke licenses and fine casinos. That speaks well for them. Another body that does their job well are the Swedish Gambling Authority (SGA). It can be hard to find an illegitimate casino with a license issued by Sweden. And of course last but not least are Malta. One of the prestigious licenses a casino can hold is from the MGA.

Which are the most legitimate casinos from your list among all these 500 reviews you have done.

I wasn’t expecting such a question because I don’t like to be biased. But I will share my favorites that lead our ranking.

  • 7bit casino, which received our highest Super Legit rating
  • BitStarz casino, which is also rated Super Legit
  • Casumo casino, which holds 4 licenses and again gets our highest Super Legit rating

These are my favs. Personally for me some of the best casinos in recent years.

And as last words I would recommend all casino owners to emphasize on their attitude towards customers, because after all that is the most important thing for such a business.
