Casino.org and setting the standard for trust and safety for 20 years

Published

on

Reading Time: 4 minutes

Casino.org is one of the most established affiliates in the industry having made its debut back in 1995. Since then, it has become one of the most trusted sources for finding reputable casinos and the biggest bonuses. To learn more about how it has done this while always prioritizing responsible gambling, we spoke with Alexander Korsager, industry veteran and Casino.org General Manager.

You are one of the most established and trusted online casino affiliates in the industry. Tell us more about what makes you the go-to site for players?

We have been around since 1995 and this makes us the world’s leading independent gambling authority. We provide players with all of the information they need to find online casinos and bonuses that offer what they are looking for. This is because our online casino reviews are the absolute best in the business. We put each casino through a 25-step process to determine the score it receives. This is to ensure we take all aspects of the player journey and experience into account, from signing up, claiming the bonus and depositing, to the game selection available, the licences held and the customer support offered. Due to our global reach and incredible team, we do this in more than 100 countries around the world.

 

Why are reviews so important to players when deciding where to play?

There are literally hundreds of online casinos and bonuses available to players with each offering something different. Given this incredible choice, it can be hard for players to decide where to play – imagine trying to find content on Netflix without it recommending titles based on your preferences and viewing habits. Players also want to know what the casino has to offer before they go through the process of actually signing up, providing payment details and making a deposit. They also want to understand the different bonuses available to them, and any terms and conditions attached to the offer. They can find all of this and more in our reviews. I also think there’s still a lack of trust between players and casinos, so our reviews help overcome this by telling them the good and the bad, and ultimately whether we recommend they play there or not.

 

What are the key factors players consider when deciding where to play?

The bonus offer is important, especially among regular players looking for the latest offer to take advantage of. In terms of bonuses, no deposit free spins are always in demand as they allow players to try the casino without using their own money. If the player likes the experience, they can then make a deposit and play with their own funds. This takes me nicely on to the next consideration – payments. Players want to see a good choice of payment options – Visa and Mastercard are a must, but we are seeing greater demand for digital wallets such as PayPal and mobile wallets like Apple Pay. They also take into account whether the casino offers fast payouts. The selection of games is important, with players wanting to see a great line up of slots and table games as well as crash and arcade titles and, of course, live dealer. We also see a lot of interest in new online casinos.

 

Are there any interesting online casino trends emerging?

More and more casinos are now offering no wagering bonuses so that players get to keep their winnings. This is also helping to build trust between players and casino brands with wagering requirements often causing confusion and leading to a negative player experience. The rise of non-traditional games such as crash, mines and plinko can be seen in how these games are increasingly appearing in the top game lobby spots and, in some cases, even having their own tabs. This type of content is really helping players to connect with a broader audience, especially Millennials and Gen Zers. We’ve also seen a shift in payments and while standard methods like debit cards still dominate, more and more players are using digital and mobile wallets making them a must-have for casinos looking to acquire players at scale.

 

Which online casinos are ahead of the curve with these trends and are offering the best player experiences right now?

You have to look at the major players like PlayOJO, Betfair, BetVictor, William Hill and LeoVegas. These brands offer everything I mentioned in the previous answers, from generous yet fair bonuses to a great line up of payment options with instant deposits and fast withdrawals. Their lobbies are packed with thousands of games, and they have really good customer support. They are also the brands pushing the boundaries and trying new things when it comes to promos, payments and stocking games from the latest suppliers. That said, there’s always room for new casinos to get in on the action.

 

Responsible gambling is a hot topic right now. What is Casino.org doing to support the industry’s efforts to promote safe play?

We take responsible gambling very seriously and have a dedicated page packed with information, advice and links to support charities and more. We also add responsible gambling advice to all of our pages where relevant, so that players are always reminded of the need to stay in control of their play and how they can actually do that. We want to really empower players so that they can sign up and play at the brands listed on Casino.org confident that they offer the safe gaming and entertainment experiences they are seeking. The way we see it, affiliates are the front line of defence and it’s our responsibility to educate players about the tools available to them to help them gamble responsibly.

5 Myths About Online Casinos That It’s Time to Say Goodbye To

5 Myths About Online Casinos That It’s Time to Say Goodbye To
Reading Time: 3 minutes

 

Any gambling facility has its fair share of myths. It is because a lot of people do not understand how casinos like Vulkan Vegas casino work. Some say that online gambling platforms are rigged and not regulated, etc. Today, let us look at the five most common myths about online casinos and also tell you why they are myths.

 

1. They Are Rigged

It is not unusual to hear people say that online casinos are rigged. What they mean to say is that the casino manipulates the results, ensuring that the results of the slots or other games are in favor of the house.

This is a myth because, by design, gaming sites do not have to cheat to win. A casino takes the time to design a game to ensure that the probabilities are against you. For example, in a 3-reel slot machine with five symbols on each reel, the probability of landing a winning combination is only 0.8% per round.

As you can see, a player, has less than a 1% chance of landing a winning combo. Casinos do not have to rig their games to win. By design, the casino has a huge advantage against you.

 

2. They Do Not Pay Their Gamblers

Some say that online casinos do not pay money to their players. You will see several of these players rant on gaming forums about how they won, and they never got paid. You will also notice that most of these players are talking about their wins from bonuses.

Casinos do pay their players, but some of them do not seem to understand how casino bonuses work. Bonuses have rules, and if you do not meet these rules, your bonus money and all winnings from it will be forfeited by the casino.

Here are the most common bonus rules:

  • There is a wagering requirement.
  • You must meet this requirement before the deadline.
  • You cannot bet higher than a certain amount.

In addition, withdrawal takes time plus there are other rules. If you fail to verify your identity, the casino will not give you your winnings. This is not cheating. It complies with anti-money laundering laws.

 

3. They Can Make You Rich

Online casinos are like regular land-based facilities. If you are lucky, then yes, you can get rich. However, there are people out there pandering myths about the existence of “hot” and “cold” slot machines, or games that are always producing wins for the players.

Casinos are businesses. As businesses, they have standard practices. They were not built to make people rich, but merely to give people that chance to get rich. There is no such thing as hot and cold games. In addition, there are no games that players can control to their advantage.

Another myth that perpetuates this notion is that you can game the system. Some say that it is easy to count cards with blackjack. While card counting is a real strategy, online gaming platforms rarely, if ever, disclose.

 

4. They Are Illegal

Believe it or not, there are still people out there who claim that online casinos are illegal and that they do not protect their users. This could not be farther from the truth. Online gambling platforms today cannot operate without a license.

There are now many laws governing the operations of online casinos. Even banks and financial institutions are already involved. In this case, the casino cannot even use a credit card system to charge their clients or players unless they have a license to operate a casino.

The same thing goes with game developers. The industry has grown, and there are legal provisions that protect users from casino fraud. As such, players can now ensure that the online casinos are safe and secure.

 

5. They Tighten and Loosen Game Results

Finally, there is this myth that casinos adjust the results of their games according to how they want to market their casino. Similar to the first myth, some people claim that the games are rigged.

Some say that the casinos make the slots pay more during the holidays to entice players. This claim, of course, is not true. They have no reason to do it. In addition, more people likely win during the holidays because it is the festive season, and people have more money to burn. If more people play, then more people can come out as a winner.

Online casino games are not rigged, and they are operated by honest businesspeople. Usually, people who lose in casinos think they have been scammed because they do not understand probabilities.

By design, casino games give the house, or the casino, an advantage. As such, the player is at a disadvantage the moment that he puts his chips down to bet. This does not mean that the gaming site is cheating — it’s just that the casino has a higher probability of winning than a single player.

Luck at Your Fingertips: The Convenience of Online Casino Gaming

Luck at Your Fingertips: The Convenience of Online Casino Gaming
Reading Time: 2 minutes

 

In 2024, online casinos have a global player base of millions of people. Adults from all backgrounds come together to experience a few hours of thrills and excitement, playing their favorite games and hoping that today will be their lucky day. The online casino industry continues to grow yearly and now forms a vital part of the adult entertainment sector.

Many new gamers played at online casino sites for the first time during the recent COVID-19 outbreak. Here, online casinos provided welcome entertainment and excitement at a time when national lockdowns and movement restrictions became a part of daily life. One of the reasons for the continued success of online casinos is the sheer convenience of this form of entertainment. In this article, the accessibility and on-demand nature of such sites will be explored.

24/7 Accessibility with no need to travel

In 2021, the total market size of casinos and online gambling reached $231 billion. It continues to grow, and a key factor in this ongoing success is the fact that online casinos provide 24/7 accessibility. For example, you can visit an online casino at any time of day or night, including weekends and public holidays. In a matter of minutes, you can be playing a range of authentic slot machines such as 9 Masks of Fire and Gates of Olympus, or playing live dealer roulette and baccarat.

All these games take place in a secure and professionally managed gaming environment that uses the latest encryption technology. There is no need to travel long distances to reach your nearest brick-and-mortar casino. For many people, especially those who live in rural areas, their nearest physical establishment may be hours away by car. In some cases, gamers may need to stay overnight at a hotel or on-site (especially if they intend to consume alcohol). In addition, there is no requirement to dress smartly. Put simply, the ease of access and 24/7 accessibility to online casinos means that you can enjoy adult gaming at a time and place that suits you, with no need to plan or prepare.

Use a range of smart devices

In the early days of online casinos, visiting a site required you to use a computer or laptop. This tied you to a specific location and meant that you would typically rely on your home internet connection. Today, this is not the case. With the rise of smartphone usage and the rollout of superfast mobile internet, gamblers can enjoy high-quality gaming action at virtually any location. Modern smartphones benefit from fast processors, memory, and graphical capabilities. This allows online casinos to offer slot machines and gaming environments that are almost indistinguishable from their real-world counterparts.

Live dealer games can be run on high-performing smartphones, especially when they are connected to fast mobile or home-based internet. Many gamers also enjoy the action on the larger screens of a tablet device. This can allow for a more immersive gaming experience and may also offer improved in-game functionality. As the power of these smaller tech devices continues to improve, the line between real-world casinos and their virtual counterparts becomes increasingly blurred. In short, modern tech devices can access online casinos with ease, giving gamers extra flexibility in how and where they play.
