USE THIS CRITERIA TO FIND BEST UK ONLINE CASINO OPTIONS - Island Echo - 24hr news, 7 days a week across the Isle of Wight

The UK online casino industry has grown to the point there are literally hundreds and hundreds of online casinos licensed to provide gambling services for gamblers in the UK. While a great majority of the existing online operators are reputable, there are a few rogue online casino websites that need to be avoided at all costs.

What that means for new online casino players is they will need to do a little work if they want to find one of the bestuk-casinos on which to play casino games of chance. If you are contemplating registering with an online casino, it's important that you make the right choices right out of the box. To help you in that endeavor, here's some of the criteria you should use during the decision-making process.

Regulatory Standing

For the benefit of UK gamblers, the UK Gambling Commission is charged with making sure all land based and online gambling operators are providing fair gambling services. To earn the UKGC's seal of approval, gambling operators are required to secure the appropriate licensing and abide by the rules and regulations as set forth by the Commission. This is the only way an operator can maintain good standing.

As an online gambler, good standing is the level of protection you want. You should confine your choices to the online casinos that can truthfully represent good standing with the UKGC. For what it's worth, the Malta Gambling Authority would also suffice as a respectable jurisdictional body for online casinos.

Customer Service

Every customer is deserving of excellent customer service. That applies to you as well. After all, you are literally bringing your hard-earned cash to the table. If you have questions or concerns about your online gambling experience with a particular online casino, you want to have confidence the website's customer service reps can answer your questions or concerns quickly and accurately in a professional and friendly manner. For information about an online casino's customer service department, you would be well served to read a few online reviews related to the online casino you have under consideration.

The Games

Every online casino's quality is going to be directly tied to the number and quality of online casino games the casino has in its offering. It's also important for you to consider the online casino software providers with which a particular casino has decided to do business.

What you should be looking for is an online casino that offers dozens of table games and hundreds of the industry's most popular video slots from top software developers like Betsoft, Microgaming, Net Entertainment, Play'n Go, Playtech and Yggdrasil.

The Bonuses

The only realistic way hundreds of online casinos can compete for your business is by offering bonus promotions that will draw you in and keep you gambling. What you should be looking for in an online casino with a lucrative welcome bonus, several intermittent monthly/weekly/daily bonuses, and a VIP program that puts extra benefits on the table. Warning: make sure you always read the terms and conditions tied to any offer you might be considering. A lucrative bonus with heavy restrictions has little real value without help from "lady luck."
