Online Casinos, Online Casino Reviews, Gambling Reviews and News

Online Casino Reviews! You may already know me from my role as Moderator at the popular Casinomeister online casino forum. There are over 100 online casinos reviewed at OGGS.com and I've tried to point out the shortcomings of the online casinos in my reviews as well as the good points plus all my online casino reviews here are 100% unique. While all the online casinos at OGGS are generally regarded as safe online casinos to play and assuming you're a legit online casino player, they will all pay you properly, offer a fair game and act above board. Some online casinos are better than others obviously else why bother to review them!

USA RESIDENTS: Microgaming software-based casinos will no longer accept players from Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, South Dakota, Washington and Wisconsin with the exception of Intertops casino. Players should be aware that online gambling in all the above States is illegal. A full and updated list of online casinos that accept US players by State can be found on the Casinos Accepting US Players page.

Review: Club USA is part of Club World, which also includes Club Asia(Chinese), both RTG casinos that have built up a very good reputation based largely on their fast cashout policy. Unusually for RTG online casinos, Club USA attends to smaller requests like manual cashin flushes and the like although the one downer is the 3k a week max cashout policy which means it's not really suited to high rollers. Email support was pretty prompt and its one of only a few RTG online casinos that I feel comfortable with. RTG online casino games are pretty good and there's a huge selection across the board. It is also one of the few online casinos left that will take US players. It also offers both an "Instant Play" no-download online casino with similar games, but to be honest, games are limited and it is rather slow game play - I'd be inclined to stick to the download version of Club USA myself. The casino accepts the following banking options: Click2Pay, Central Coin, Ecocard (non US), Instacash, FirePay, Moneybookers, NETeller, QuickTender, Credit and Debit cards.

Review: An underrated Microgaming Viper casino that has generally lived in the shadows of it's peers and is currently offering a $1,000 & 60 minutes free play promotion to all new players with no deposit required. Aside from over 300 games in the download software and a Flash casino option, there are several types of signup bonus and the short reverse time means cashouts are generally processed within 24/36 hours. Additionally, River Nile is one of the few casinos that process cashouts 7 days a week. It gets all the new games as soon as they are released and with slots tournaments added in December 2007, River Nile is a decent casino that is steadily growing in popularity. One thing that used to let it down was the poor loyalty scheme and slow support, but it sounds as if these areas have been attended to and improved. The casino accepts the following banking options: Click2Pay, Ecocard (non US), Instadebit, Moneybookers, NETeller, QuickTender, Ukash, Credit and Debit cards.

Review: First the good news. Intertops online casino still accepts ALL USA Residents and it has some 300 casino games in it's download version and around 150 in the instant play flash casino. It also has it's own banking system that seemed a little complicated the first time I used it, but does work well. On the downside, Intertop's process for ID checks means your first cashout could take 14 days, which is longer than most online casinos, but once you are over that, it's 48 hours or less. There are better Microgaming online casinos listed here IMO, but for some US punters it's the only Microgaming online casino that will take them. The casino accepts the following banking options: Click2Pay, Ecocard (non US), FirePay, NETeller, Credit and Debit cards.

Review: This is one of only two online casinos using RTG software that I play regularly, and only one of a handful of RTG's that I would recommend. iNetBet has a very good reputation for treating players fairly (unlike some other RTG's) and for fast payouts, often processed the same day within 2-12 hours of requesting a withdrawal. The new Real Series slots are among my favourite games & there is a good choice of video pokers and traditional casino games. iNetBet's mobile phone casino is pretty crap: just 3 games and is at best functional but doesn't compare to the Wild Jack Microgaming mobile casino. Note that the iNetBet PC online casino download is much smaller than Microgaming online casinos. The casino accepts the following banking options: Central Coin, Ecocard (non US), Entropay, Instacash, NETeller, Click2Pay, UseMyBank, QuickTender, Credit and Debit cards.

Review: Lucky Nugget is part of the well regarded Belle Rock online casinos group. It's on Microgaming, so it has over 300 games and also offers monthly 100% match loyalty bonuses. Note that the first deposit bonus needs to be claimed within 72 hours of signing up or it is forfeited. Withdrawals are processed the day after requesting your cashout and unusually Lucky Nugget does cashouts at weekends too. The support response is slower than many (8 hours for me) and they don't alow cashouts back to a credit card, although they do give you plenty of other options. Support aside, Lucky Nugget was pretty good all-round, although UK and Europeans may find 32Red which has the same games, more suitable. It is probably among the most popular online casinos with Americans however. The casino accepts the following banking options: Click2Pay, Citadel, Ecocard (non US), FirePay, Instadebit, Moneybookers, NETeller, PaySpark, UseMyBank, Credit and Debit cards.

Review: Jackpot City casino carrys all the major card games, slots and video pokers from Microgaming in an intuitive interface and is now focused towards the UK market, although Europeans and USA players are accepted. All the big Progressive Jackpot games are here and it's probably no coincidence that Jackpot City Casino has a history of players winning the big jackpots. Part of Belle Rock Entertainment, support response could be improved but that said, you do get monthly bonus offers & Belle Rock do have a reputation for treating their high stakes players particularly well. Jackpot City also has casino software in Italiano, Francais, Deutsch and Espanol but seems very popular with US players in particular. You can also select a different cashout option each time you withdraw which is a nice touch. The casino accepts the following banking options: Moneybookers, Ecocard (non US), Entropay, Instadebit, NETeller, FirePay, UseMyBank, PaySpark, Click2Pay, Credit and Debit cards.

Review: Voted "Best Online Casino" in the Casinomeister awards in 2003, 2004, 2005 and 2006, so no surprise that 32Red casino is the benchmark. 32Red's treatment of players is better than most other online casinos and while the signup bonus could be more generous, the invite-only "Club Rouge" VIP program rewards loyal players with a variety of extras each month including a bigger monthly bonus. Unusually, 32Red online casino (and poker room) can process cashouts to credit cards if required, a welcome addition to the many other banking options. There are stacks of games & an autoplay and "expert mode" (strategy) function for certain games. One of the few online casinos where loyal players feel valued and where I spend most of my gambling time. A download and flash casino is available and the download version now includes Microgaming's excellent slot tournaments section. The casino accepts the following banking options: Entropay, FirePay, Moneybookers, NETeller, Ukash, Credit and Debit cards.
