What To Look For in An Online Casino If You Are A Newbie
So, you have decided to try out online gambling. Naturally, an online casino is a place where you would want to go. You may have given this careful thinking, or you may have decided to jump into it on a whim. Either way, one of the first things that you would need is the place to gamble online–your casino.
However, there are simply too many choices for you to pick from, as there are thousands, if not tens of thousands of online casinos out there–and there are even newer ones that get established every day. You may try to read online casino reviews, but that, too, may end up as a confusing thing for you without the proper direction or approach. So how would you be able to easily find the online casino that is the right fit for you? Here are some of the most helpful tips that can narrow down your choices for you.
The basics
Of course, no one would want to go to an online casino that is not recognized as legal under the law. So, naturally, you’d want to make sure that the one that you are looking at is registered under the government. Additionally, one more thing you need to check would be applicable certifications that would prove that the games and software used by the site were inspected and were certified to be secure from rigging and are fair to players.
One more thing that you need to check is the availability of the payment and withdrawal methods that the site or app is offering. Do they accept the method that you are intending to use? Most of the time, an online casino would accept payments through credit and debit card, a bank transfer, and even the most popular e-money wallets.
These are only the basics. There are more other things that you would need to put into consideration, too.
Fair reviews
You may have had the idea to read reviews of casinos online. That is a good thing, but you should understand that you should not just read any reviews.
Did you know that not all reviews are real and trustworthy? Some positive reviews are called “affiliate reviews,” or reviews that have been paid for by the site developer to have a positive word about them published. On the other hand, not all negative reviews speak the truth about the site, too. Some can be maliciously posted, either by trolls or by people who are only disgruntled in one way or the other.
So, learn to distinguish a fair review from one that is not. Only fair reviews can give you a real and balanced perspective.
Great customer support
Since online casinos run on computer software, you know what that means–anything could go wrong anytime. When something out of the ordinary happens, you would want to have someone to assist you to fix the problem.
In situations like this, what would you prefer? Asking help via email only to get a response in three to five business days? Or to open a live chat and get support in real-time? This is how important good customer support is.
Live casino
Playing online casino games is fun–you get to play games at your own pace, at your own time. However, some people still long for the real human element of playing in a land-based casino–having a real person deal the games for you and seeing live, breathing humans interact with you. This is what live casinos can bring you, and this is one more thing that you should look for when finding the right online casino for you.

Statutory levy affiliate reaction
“I personally think the industry should view this as a positive chance to work hand-in-hand with the NHS, charities and government as all stakeholders pull together to minimise gambling harm. Gambling is meant to be fun and entertaining and the industry must ensure that it is responsible, so that those in need can gain access to properly funded support as and when they need it.”
