Welcome to the Online Players Association


We are often asked what do both new and experienced casino players look for when considering which online gaming venue to join? Many things spring to mind, and in an attempt to answer most, if not all of these questions we have put together as much information as possible to help in your quest to find your perfect online gaming venue.

Never forget there is much more to a casino that just bonus offers and by utilising the wealth of free information within this site we aim to help you make an informed decision on where to play.

Most players tend to move from casino to casino until they find one or two in which they have been given that VIP treatment but it can take a while to find that special place, and in trying it could cost you time, money and effort.

Approval Ratings

To assist you even further all casinos have been categorised as either Approved or Approved PLUS. To help us achieve this we have some ongoing industry leading initiatives that help us separate the wheat from the chaff and these can be found below.
We constantly check each of our Approved and Approved PLUS casinos' customer support by emailing them telephoning them or quizzing them via instant chat. The results of this ongoing exercise can be found in the "Casino Support Response" section. Casinos that fail to respond in both a helpful and timely fashion lose their Approval status.
We dislike unhelpful or elusive customer support reps and don't wish to be associated with any casino that cannot provide players with a top notch no nonsense approach to customer support.

 

Approved Casinos

Approved Casinos MUST provide no nonsense customer support - In Vegas the customer is King and should a casino fail to make your gaming experience an enjoyable one you move on to the next, and this is true online.

The same goes for prompt and speedy E-cash transactions - Our team regularly deposit, play and cashout at each casino to see if what they claim to do actually happens and to see how quickly ( or slowly ) they take to credit deposits and payout winnings.

Technology has come a long way over the years and their is no excuse for prolonging cashouts beyond published time limits, again the results of these tests can be found in the "Casino E-cash Analysis" section.

Approved Plus Casinos

Payout Percentage Verification

Approved PLUS Casinos not only meet the above criteria but have at one time or another subscribed to our Payout Percentage Verification Service:
Payout Percentage Verification - We have over 16 years of land based gaming experience in the field of verifying payout percentages on a wide variety of gaming devices utilising mechanical, electronic and digital data retrieval systems.

In May 2002 we transferred this specialist knowledge and know how into the online gaming environment, culminating in our Payout Percentage Verification Service.

Casinos that are classified as Approved Plus subscribe to our popular and industry leading payout percentage verification service.

Each one of our Approved PLUS casinos gives us full and unrestricted access to their gaming logs which enables us to analyse this data and report our findings each month via our payout percentage verification certificates.

This allows both player and casino operators to be 100% confident each Approved PLUS casino is providing a true, fair and honest game.
