Casino Banking
To be able play at an online casino you need the ability to fund your casino account and also be able to withdraw any winnings back to your bank or ewallet account of choice.
Obviously this is a pretty important aspect of playing at a casino online. Additionally you need to know what is required of you the first time you action a withdrawal from a casino.
This includes the type of security documents that you may be required to send to the casino to verify your identity. It is standard practice for all casinos to establish who you are to prevent fraudulent activity on their sites.
All the casinos which we recommend on EasyPlay.Vegas are established reputable operations which are located and based in solid upstanding jurisdictions.
Our casino banking guide covers the standard and more traditional methods such as bank cards, the various web wallet options such as Neteller and Moneybookers which are available to players are covered in detail.
Casino Bonuses – Wagering Requirements
All the online casinos that we feature and recommend on EasyPlay.Vegas offer a variety of welcome bonuses, for players opening up a new account.
In addition, the vast majority of online casinos also include loyalty programs, where players receive bonuses based on the amount they wager at the casino.
Players however need to bear in mind that when receiving a bonus that there are certain conditions attached to said bonus, including a wagering requirement throughput.
However bonuses are a great way of topping up your balance and getting more play time at the online casino or casinos you frequent.
The purpose of our Casino Bonuses article is to highlight the current best bonus offers available from those casinos we recommend.
eCOGRA – Player Dispute Resolution
eCOGRA is hopefully an organisation that as a player you will not have to have contact with, but provides a service for players, should a dispute arise between an eCOGRA certified casino and a player of said casino.
Established back in 2003, the purpose of eCOGRA is to protect players by addressing the need for fair gaming and responsible operator conduct.
Part of eCogra’s main role is to resolve any disputes between eCOGRA certified online casinos and their respective player base that may arise.
eCOGRA came into existence as a result of Microgaming and 888 realising that there was no regulatory body ensuring industry wide standards in the iGaming sector.
Now wholly independent of Microgaming and 888, eCOGRA is a non profit making body overseeing Online Gambling Bodies.
Fast Paying Casinos
Whilst there are nearly thirty upstanding online casinos which are reviewed and recommended here on EasyPlay.Vegas, the purpose of this Fast Paying Casinos page, is to list those casinos which pay out the quickest.
As foremost a player at online casinos, there are two major factors I take into account when choosing where I spend my money gaming online. These are the provision for quick processing of withdrawals, alongside security, trustworthiness and reputation.
Obviously the variety and types of games on offer is important as are the bonus offerings available, but I won’t play anywhere that resembles a sloth when it comes to cashing out.
I want to play at a fast paying casino, knowing that when I cash out, I will get my winnings as soon as possible. If a casino can instantly take your deposit, then there is no excuse once a ‘Know Your Customer’ check has been performed, to hold onto what is rightfully yours, for any longer than is absolutely necessary.
Know Your Customer
Know Your Customer or KYC for short is the process used by online casinos to ensure players that sign up and register an account are who they say they are.
If you have never played at an online casino before, you may find yourself in for a shock when it comes to withdrawing any winnings for the very first time.
As part of the Know Your Customer process, it is likely that the security team from the casino will email you within 24 hours of enacting your first withdrawal.
They will invariably ask you to provide documentation in the form of a copy of a recent utility bill or bank statement, which has your name and address on.
Either form of documents you provide do have to match the details you provided when you opened up your casino account. Until the casino receives the requested documents, your withdrawal will remain in a ‘pending’ state.
Licensing Jurisdictions
Another important aspect to be aware of is the actual licensing jurisdiction of the casino you are playing at resides in.
We cover all the main territories where online casinos currently operate from. Not just the jurisdictions where the casinos we recommend reside in.
Knowing the country of origin of the casino that you play on is important, especially if a problem arises and you require third party assistance. All of the casinos listed as UK Facing have obtained licensed from the UK Gambling Commission.
EasyPlay.Vegas is committed to only featuring those casinos which allow access to a third party such as the territory’s regulatory authority to make impartial decisions if and when required.
This means there is an assurance of safety for players in the unfortunate event of resolving any dispute between player and casino property that may arise.
Responsible Gambling
EasyPlay.Vegas is committed to supporting responsible gambling and therefore will only feature casinos and online gambling sites whereby the operators of such support and promote responsible gambling.
The purpose of our Responsible Gambling page is to provide a resource and links to other sites which support those individuals who may have a gambling addiction problem.
Whilst gambling online is a form of adult entertainment we also realise that people can and do experience problems.
If you or someone close to you that you know has a problem with gambling, whether it be online or offline then please read on.
Covered on this page are simple questions which if answered honestly you will be able to ascertain whether you have a gambling problem.
Reverse Withdrawals
If you have read some of the several online casino reviews featured on OCR, you may have encountered the term ‘Reverse Withdrawal’.
Well what does it actually mean and why do I consider the reverse withdrawal facility a wolf in sheeps clothing, when it comes to the player?
This article covers in depth as to why online casinos employ the reverse withdrawal facility for players and why in our view reverse withdrawals are inherently bad for the player, but very good for the casino.
Hopefully you will find this article of use and as a result it will help improve your overall experience playing on a casino online.
More importantly as well, by being clued up on how reverse withdrawals are implemented, you will ensure you don’t fall into the trap of utilising such a facility.
