Online Casino Reviews: Finding the Right Casinos To Play at

Dan LAug 2, 2019

At CasinoGrounds you’ll find online casino reviews for every single operator listed in our index.

The most important part of finding casinos to play on is to do a little research beforehand just like you would do with any product or service.

Reading our online casinos reviews for the brands you’re interested in only takes you a couple of minutes, and will give you just enough information to quickly decide whether or not it’s worth your time to explore them further. You'll find a list of all current reviews in our index, in alphabetical order at the bottom of this page.

How to Choose an Online Casino

If you’re a beginner when it comes to gambling online, it’s easy to overlook a few things when you pick a casino site to play at.

A golden rule of thumb is to always choose an online casino that is both licensed and regulated. Look for brands that are licensed by one or more of the following regulatory bodies:

Malta Gaming Authority (MGA)

Spillemyndigheden Danmark (Danish Gambling Authority)

Spelinspektionen (Swedish Gambling Authority)

UK Gambling Commission (UKGC)

Do that, and you’ve come a long way already. Our online casino reviews will then merely be an observation of different things that hopefully will help you make an informed decision.

How We Review Casinos

Our staff members look at a number of things before placing new casinos in our index and database.

Since you’re playing for your own real money, we think customer satisfaction is the key to the good player experience.

Here’s how we conduct our online casino reviews:

We give you a quick summary of what we found when reviewing the casino

We go into details about the casinos’ bonuses and promotions

We look at whether or not the operator has a VIP program or loyalty scheme

We tell you about what kind of games you’ll find in the casinos’ lobby

We test their customer support and tell you what kind of service you can expect

About the Casino

The quick and dirty summary and the sum of all things considered, the about section in our online casino reviews is made to give you an easy overview.

When was the casino established and what brand are we dealing with? What games are on offer, and which providers can you expect to find in the casino lobby? Above all, does the casino in question operate with a valid gaming license? That, in addition to bonuses, terms, currencies comprise the “about the casino”-part.

Bonuses and Promotions

For many readers, the part that weighs the most in casino gaming: “what do I get for signing up with X?”.

The bonus promotions come in many forms, such as deposit bonuses for new players, often accompanied by a free spin offer.

The most common and popular offer is the first deposit bonus and/or the welcome package. This is usually the most valuable one in terms of money, giving you extra funds to play with on top of your deposit, as well as free credits (usually free spins).

We’ll tell you about the specific offers by the casinos we review, and the specific wagering requirements (if any). We also go through their promotions.

If it’s a time-sensitive one, we’ll usually write about it on casinogrounds.com/news/promotions/. If it’s a static one, we’ll include it in our review.

Payment Methods

It goes without saying; gambling and money go hand-in-hand. Payment methods are the lifeline of any casino and equally important to the players.

How can you make a deposit to your player account, and how do you withdraw your remaining balance, or even winnings when you’ve won big? That’s where the payment methods come in.

A good online casino has deals in place with several payment providers; international ones, as well as local methods that are specific to certain countries.

We make sure to list the different payment methods available to the players in our online casino reviews.

VIP Program & Loyalty Schemes

Depending on the casino, players might have access to a VIP program or loyalty schemes where they can claim rewards, exchange points and much more.

Some brands specialize in bonus offer promotions, giving returning players reload bonuses and free spins, while others offer different types of rewards, ie. travel vouchers, concert tickets and more.

As a player, you should always spend your money where you feel you get the most “bang for the buck”. A good casino gives you a reason to stay, one way or the other - and we make sure to include the VIP programs and loyalty schemes in our reviews to help you better understand what you can expect from the casino you’re playing at if you sign up.

What Games Does the Casino Have on Offer?

Online casinos have a good selection of games in general. What type of games and how many, however, depends on who they have a deal in place with.

On a general note, you can expect to find anything from slots, live dealer games, table games, keno, bingo, poker, card games, and much more.

We’ll give you a quick introduction to the games you can expect to find in the casino’s lobby, and which game providers are available.

If you’re not sure as to what you should try, we recommend you to simply take a quick glance at the games on display in the lobby. These are usually the most popular, as well as the newest titles available to the players. Start with these, or go crazy and explore on your own.

You’ll come across the biggest names in the field of casino game development with the likes of NetEnt, Quickspin, Microgaming, Big Time Gaming, Yggdrasil Gaming and more - as well as the smaller studios.
