Which online casinos deserve to be mentioned as the
best the industry has to offer? An answer to this
question is very difficult to give as players put
emphasis in different things when they choose the
casinos they play at. In fact the question can
probably be discussed from now and till the end of
the world without reaching agreement. None the less
I will try to give my answer to that all important
question. I have rated a large number of casinos on
the quality criteria in the
Choosing Casinos
section. The ones with the highest scores are listed
on the left hand side in this section and on the
right hand side at all times. The casinos are listed
after the score they received, so that the casino
with the highest total score is listed first, the
casino with the second highest score is listed
second and so on. You can click on each of the
casinos on the left hand side in order to see how
the casinos were reviewed within the nine criteria.
On the review sites you will also be given
information on how can you can sign-up at the
casinos.
The selection process leading to the top 10 online
casinos was long and hard. It was possible for me to
discard a large amount of casinos simply because
they only offer sticky bonuses, have poor software,
have a poor reputation and so on. I have also chosen
to select only one casino per casino group which
limited the amount further. Then came the hard part.
After the rough sorting there was around 40 casinos
left on my list. I then rated the remaining casinos
based on a combination of personal experience,
experiences from fellow gamblers, feedback from
visitors to this site and what I have read at
message boards and watchdog sites.
In the rating process I used a scale from 1-5 with 1
being the lowest and 5 to highest possible score.
The highest score 5 was given if a casino is
industry leading and therefore far better than the
average in the online casino industry in that
criteria. Vice versa, the score of 1 was given if a
casino is far below the average casino. The score of
3 symbolizes that a casino is average compared to
other casinos and the scores 2 and 4 are given to
casinos that are somewhat below or better than the
average casino. The ratings were then multiplied
with the importance rating for each of the criteria.
For example, if a casino scored 5 for its bonus
system this number would be multiplied with the
importance rating of 5, ending in a score of 25. The
scores for each category were added up to a total
score for each casino. The ten casinos with the
highest scores are the ones that are reviewed of in
this section of the guide.
The casino reviews you can read on this site are
different than the ones you can read at most casino
sites. My reviews are not all-positive and
non-critical. The perfect casino does not exist. All
online casinos have shortcomings in some areas. This
is not the impression you get at most casino sites
where the casinos promoted are perfect in any way.
The best bonuses, the best payout percentage, the
best customer's service, the best games. Quite
simply the best everything. The reason for this is
that most casino sites use reviews written by the
marketing staffs of the casinos they promote and
they quite simple copy-paste these reviews onto
their sites. This kind of "reviews" are off course
totally useless for new casino players who are about
to choose which casinos they should play at. I in no
way claim to have made the perfect reviews. But I
have written them myself based on what I consider to
be relevant criteria. In my opinion that makes them
more useful than most of the reviews you can read at
casino sites. But I will let you, the visitors, be
the judge... |
