Licensed and Secure
The online gambling industry is a highly regulated and competitive sector. There are strict laws in place governing which casinos can operate legally, what games they can offer, and how the games are conducted to protect players. When we look into whether or not new casinos are legitimate, we make sure they have licenses approved by a legitimate jurisdiction such as the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC).
We also check for a seal from independent third-party auditors such as eCOGRA or iTech Labs. These organisations assess online gaming operators against a set of standards. These standards include ensuring that players can withdraw their funds at any time, providing random number generators for game outcomes, and preventing underage gambling.
If an online casino is licensed by a reputable gambling commission and has a seal of approval from a trusted regulatory body, we should expect it to be secure. Still, we don't leave anything to chance. Hence, we confirm that any new online casino we recommend utilises encryption technology to keep players personal information safe while gambling on their website. We also check if there is contact information on the site, including an email address.
