Personally, the most important thing in online casinos is safety. Safety and fairness should be the absolute priority for anyone looking for the best online casinos around, there are some necessities that all online casinos should follow and finding casinos that accept Trustly deposits is the first major step to finding the perfect casino because a casino that uses deposits like PayPal, Trustly and Card Deposits are more trustworthy than casinos that use deposit systems that you aren't aware of. If you use a casino that does not offer trusted deposit systems you are putting your money and livelihood at stake.

What Are the Key Elements Of A Safe Casino​

Online casino safety is vital and there are a few elements that are needed to protect you and your information. When looking for safety we think there is a guide to finding the perfect casino and I will talk you through some of the biggest points here.

Licenses​

One of the most important is the licenses that the casino has, this should be top of your checklist. Licenses are expensive and hard to obtain, which means the sites that are only there to steal your money and information won't obtain them.

Fair Games​

Visiting a casino and enjoying the games should be given but some sneaky casinos don't use safe games and ruin the experience of players to not give money out. One of the key elements of fair casinos is the use of an RNG (Random Number Generator) which means all the games and spins are fair and random at all times.

Security​

Fraud prevention and data protection are massive things to look for when picking your site. I personally, don't want my information stolen by hackers and put onto the dark web and i'm sure you are in a similar boat to me, so sites with great security protocols are the best thing to look for.

Software​

The best thing about the recent years of gambling is how much safer the gaming providers are becoming, the industry has improved and made strides to make even more software providers available with each casino having multiple providers, or in some cases, more software providers than you will ever need. The most reputable software will have a certificate from eCOGRA, which means that these are tested and safe. If you see their certificate you know you are in the right place and these are who I look for when I pick a site.

Customer Support​

One of the most important aspects of a site is its push to help its players. Some sites neglect the players and their issues and don't want to help when they are struggling and these are the sites that need to be ignored as they ignore you. Some of the best casinos I have ever used have had a live chat so you can talk to a member of their team and get the help you need. I remember recently I had an issue on an online casino site and needed customer support, they didn't offer a live chat and I had to email the team and my issue wasn't resolved for a few days and this was an automatic no for my career at this site.

The Security Protocols​

When you pick your casino you need to make sure they have the right protocols for when you log in. This may seem unimportant but logging in is massively important because if they just let you in with no questions your information will be at risk. Some sites offer multiple login forms like ID verification and 2FA and require an extra step before you get into your account. As well as this, some casinos have an SSL Encryption on their website which is needed to keep your private information away from hackers and thieves. This is easy to check as the site you choose will be at HTTPS if it has an SSL encryption so make sure you keep your eyes peeled!
