You hear the words “best online casinos” no matter what online casino article you read or portal you consult – theirs is always the best, its marketing spiel! But an online casino is only as good as its software and not all online casino software is created equally or as good as it is made out to be. There is however some surefire capability tests you can conduct to make sure you are in the hands of the “best online casinos”.
You can be sure that if the software comes from a reliable company, they have the money to back up the promises they make and there are a substantial amounts of software companies which are reliable.

For example if you spot a casino and they say they will give you a $2000 first deposit bonus when you make a $100 deposit – beware. If the casino software is something you have never seen before or is blacklisted at any site, beware. Pavarotti’s Wobbly Bottom Technology, may sound good, but may not be sound.

You need to look out for the best online casinos software names that have good reputations in the industry. Any casino worth their salt will be riding on the reputation of their software so they will display it at the bottom of the home page, or somewhere on the homepage.

If you can’t find what software a casino uses or if it’s not easy to find, steer clear. If you look for it and find Playtech, Virtue Fusion, Microgaming, Real Time Gaming, Rival Gaming, Parlay Entertainment, Cryptologic, Boss Media or anything related to 888.com Holdings, you are in good hands. These are not the only good options but they are what power some of the best online casinos.

If you fancy playing at an online site which calls itself one of the best online casinos and they don’t display a software logo, it doesn’t matter if they are powered by Playtech. If they don’t proudly display this logo, the loss of your business is their loss, not yours. Find a site which does display it.
If their security certificate is out of date, find another site, if they are given bad reviews, find another site. Don’t let someone else’s bad experience be your bad experience too. That would be plain stupidity!

There are hundreds upon hundreds of online casinos and they all call themselves the “best and another word they use is the “biggest”. Don’t believe them – use a little bit of initiative and it will pay off.

If they have a promotions page which displays a promotion which is long gone and it is still displayed, as far as I am concerned they are not credible, no matter what software they use; the casino is giving that software a bad name. Just learn to be discerning and tell the fact from the fiction regarding the “best” online casinos, you can still happily and safely play online casino games, in fact the world is your oyster.
