The Internet has provided us with the ability to perform a lot of tasks from the convenience and comfort of our own homes.

There are over 2,500 casino sites in the Internet, so your first question may be "How do I choose a good online casino site?" Well, that's why we're here. With all the sites to choose from and some unfortunate incidents, such as refusal to pay out winnings, we're going to show you what to look for, in choosing your casino. This way, you're going to have that great casino experience you expect and deserve.

Here, we'll go over 7 important questions that you need to ask before you decide to sign up and deposit your money at an online casino. Are you ready? Then let's begin:

1. In which jurisdiction is the casino licensed? You can find background information on a casino on its' "About Us" page. This will usually be found at the bottom of the site's homepage. There, you'll find details such as licensing information, when the site was established, the gaming software platform, etc. After checking out a few sites, you'll notice if a site is missing information – which is a red flag.
2. What software is the casino using? Software platforms may not be your area of expertise – but it can make a difference. The software used by the casino ensures that the games are fair and the payout percentages are audited. We suggest playing at a casino that utilizes Playtech (non-USA), Microgaming, Real Time Gaming and Vegas Technology software.
3. What is the reputation of the casino? Just like choosing a good restaurant, you'll want to know about things like; the quality of its service and what it has to offer its patrons. This information is easily researched online, since people love to write reviews – especially if they're dissatisfied. You can visit gaming forums like casinomeister, winneronline and cashoutfast. If you see the same complaint being repeated about a particular casino – it's a red flag.
