Casinos & the Need of a License

Rules Licensed Casinos Have to Follow

More than just a piece of paper or a licence fee that must be paid, certain requirements must be met for an online casino to be legal. These requirements mean you can play with peace of mind!

• The owners and managers of the casinos must undergo a fit and proper person test.
• The casino sticks to a list of permitted customers and notes those who are prohibited from gambling.
• Regular testing of the random number generator used to keep casino games fair must be done.
• Updated data on the RTP rate for each casino game must be recorded and be available.
• Casinos must provide a telephone number and email address and offer online support for all customers.
• It must be visible how long customers have played a particular casino game.
• Players must have the ability to set deposit limits on their accounts.
• There must be waiting periods on any limit increases.
• All complaints about the casino should be handled quickly and fairly.

Jurisdictions VS Gambling Regulators

When dealing with the best online casinos and the industry as a whole, many different terms are floating around for you to understand. Jurisdictions and regulators maybe a couple that isn't quite clear.

Gambling jurisdictions refer to the parts of the world where gambling is either regulated or has specific laws in place to allow licencing and regulating gambling in its many different forms.

Gambling regulators are the organisations that have been established within these jurisdictions to enforce the laws that exist there. These regulators are the authorities on gambling within their jurisdictions and help protect you as you play.

It must be noted that certain gambling regulators are more trustworthy than others. While all regulators have a hand in making sure casinos in their area are legal, some choose to steer clear of keeping a firm hand on the industry, while others prefer to side with casinos rather than players.
