BestOnlineCasinos.com Our Team FAQ
Our reviewers are experts in the online casino business. Most have 5 to 15 years of experience in the online gambling industry. Some have even more experience. They might come from the poker community or the sports betting community, but all began with an interest in online betting.
In each case, they approach the subject from a player’s perspective. Our reviewers are players themselves, so they have a passion for casino games that matches their knowledge of the subject.
Absolutely. When our editors assign reviews, we only give reviewers a list of features they should review: a few of those subjects are slot games, table games, video poker, deposit options, bonuses and promotions, software brands, mobile apps, safety, and customer service.
It’s left to our reviewers to make independent judgments of those features, which are summed up in a set of ratings. These writers also provide an overall rating. Along with a handy FAQ to answer commonly asked questions, the idea is to give players the information they need to reach their own decision.
We choose our own content. We choose which online casinos to review. We choose which slot games to review. Independent of outside influence, we choose which table games and video poker titles to highlight.
Furthermore, our staff chooses which deposit options to discuss. Our staff decides which software companies to profile. These decisions are based on our honest evaluation of the most important gaming sites, casino games, and support services in the business.
Send a request through the Contact Us link we provide in the first part of this article. Many software developers exist. Many thousands of online slots can be found on the Internet. We try to review the best online slot games, but if you have a suggestion, we’d be happy to take it under advisement.
Our goal is to review the best online casinos in each region. We devote a lot of resources to building this guide to online casinos, but we don’t have the resources to review every betting site in the world. Frankly, we don’t want to give publicity to inferior gaming sites or blacklisted casinos. We might make a brief mention of a black hat site here or there, but we want to focus on the best online casinos in the US, Canada, Australia, and the UK.
