There are several things you should consider when you are rating online casinos. These casino rating guidelines should include information on customer support, software, payout percentages, game selections, and deposit and withdrawal options.

When looking at an online casino, the most important thing to consider is their level of customer support. What are the different ways the casino offers to allow you to contact them? Do they offer Live Chat, Toll Free Telephone numbers, E-mail Support, an online form, or a combination of all of these. It is important to check out all of the options that a casino offers for customer support and you can do this by clicking on the Contact Us link on the casinos homepage. Another thing that you can do to evaluate a casinos support level is to try all applicable options by submitting a question using each method. This will help you find out how fast their responses are, their level of professionalism, and how much they know about the casino and any questions that may arise during your visit.

The next most important issue in rating an online casino is what kind of software it uses. Does it use one of the more popular software providers such as Microgaming, Playtech, OddsOn, or Cryptologic, or does it run on software created specifically for that casino? Whatever the case may be, you should research that software to find out the quality of games, graphics and sound, the average payout percentages of casinos that use that software, and look into different message boards for players opinions on the software. That information will provide volumes of knowledge to help you make your decision.

You should also take a very close look at the casinos payout percentages. Most casinos often have third-party auditing companies judge the fairness and payout rate of their games on a regular basis. Companies like the OPA and PricewaterhouseCoopers provide reports on their findings of these payout percentages on a monthly basis. This information is either available directly from the casinos homepage or by request, depending on the policies of that particular casino.

Another very important aspect that you should consider is the game selection. The casino should have a number of games for you to choose from, 40 is a good minimum number; and these should include Table and Card Games, Video Poker, Slots, and Progressive Jackpot Games. The quality of the sound effects and graphics of the games that the casino provides should be clear, crisp and smooth, basically as realistic as possible. There should be a bare minimum number of glitches in the system. As with any computer system, the occasional glitch is to be expected, but you should check message boards for players that complain of frequent glitches or poor quality graphics and sound.

Finally, you need to be aware of the deposit and withdrawal options. With the growing popularity of online casinos, there are several choices for payment available. These choices include Visa Card, MasterCard, 900Pay, FirePay, Click2Pay, Neteller, PrePaid ATM, Switch, Solo, EcoCard, Gaming Card, and Citadel as well as several more. Base your decision on the convenience of payment options available to you.
