Casino Software

Although there are several thousand casinos on the net, most of them use one of the following software packages. The software provider guaranties software that can not be manipulated by the casinos itself and as always developing updates.
Casinos that use the same software-type usually looks pretty similar, offer the same variety of games and depositing options and even the bonus offers are normally the same. This makes it easy for the player to get used to.

The following section will show you details on the most important software provider.

Boss Media is one of the biggest and oldest Software providers and is situated in Sweden. You can find Multi-Player and single player tables. All transactions and bets can be shown in the history section. Accepted deposit methods are usually: Neteller, Visa, MasterCard, Firepay and a few others.
Most Boss Media Casinos send a PIN code after your first deposit which you will need when you want to withdraw more than 500$. The PIN code usually arrives within 2 to 4 business days.
Money transfers are managed by "WebDollar" it's fast and very easy.
I believe that BossMedia is the most reliable Software Provider and I have never heard of any problems with casinos using this software.

Microgaming is situated in South Africa and maybe the most common software used. The casinos that use Microgaming software are usually very reliable.
You will also find single- and multiplayer games. The new Version (Viper) is far better than the old one. The big advantage for us is the new and unique autoplay modus. You can enter you Blackjack Strategy and let the software play automatically. This means you can minimize your bet (and your risk), lay back and let the PC do the work. Great!

You should always read the terms of these casinos because they often change.

Cryptologic is on of the old software companies. Casinos that use Cryptologic are very reliable and offer first class support.
To make your first withdrawal you will have to wait for your PIN code that comes via regular mail. This usually take 2 to 4 business days, however Once you have the PIN, the cash out is very fast and easy.

Playtech is relatively new, but growing rapidly. This may be because of the nice graphics and the fluent game play. I have also never experienced problems with any of these casinos.
Always read the casino's terms. Most of the Playtech casinos offer a "Sticky bonus". This means that the bonus is not cashable. This does not mean that it is worthless. Read more about this special kind of bonus at the end of my Sign in list.

Of course there are a few more reliable Software providers (Cassava, Odds-On, InstaPlay, and NetEnt). Lots of problems have been reported from casinos using the RTG (Real Time Gaming) software. Some of them delay payments and even close accounts without reason. The few RTG casinos that are in my list have been checked for high demand and are really good.

I am very cautious with casinos that use software I have never heard of. There are more than enough casinos on the market, using the popular software’s that I trust and it is very hard to find out whether a new software is good or not. For this I prefer staying with 'my old friends'.
