Most Trusted Online Casinos

There are three major ways for an Internet gaming establishment to show they have certification. These include:

• Jurisdictional Licenses – Even rogue casinos are usually licensed in one of several gaming jurisdictions around the globe. Some of these regions require strict guidelines to be followed, while others are happy to receive an annual payment and look the other way. The quality of the various jurisdictions is discussed in greater detail in the section below.
• Security Companies – These regulatory bodies check gaming sites for criminal activities and make sure players are protected from any other sort of unwanted operations.
• Software Testing Companies – These independent organizations make sure that the casino software is operating fairly and the random number generator is truly random. If glitches or weaknesses are found during an evaluation, the casino then has the opportunity to correct any problems.

In addition to the jurisdiction that licenses an online casino, you should also look for one or more of these gambling certifications. Information about them is located in the basement of the site.

• eCOGRA — Established in the UK in 2003, this regulatory body tests and certifies online casinos. A list of licensed casinos is kept on their website.
• GamCare – The presence of this logo on a casino shows that the staff has been adequately trained to recognize and deal with problem gambling.
• SSL – Allows secure sessions between web servers and browsers. Clients may apply for a range of certificates, and each comes with its own qualifications.
