Stacked odds vs Fair Odds

Let’s be honest, we all know that every casino, whether it is an online casino or a ‘brick and mortar’
land based casino, will have odds tipped ultimately in the favour of the house – otherwise how would they remain in business?! The odds for players are generally as good online or in person however, though some online casinos will proclaim that they offer the best odds around and may even publish statistics to try and prove it.

When you play online bingo it is likely that it is a fairly level playing field as this is a game primarily based on luck as random numbers are generated, rather than the specific skills of any individual playing. Alternatively, when you look at slot machines for example, it has been well documented that some unscrupulous online gambling sites are known to rig their payouts which is of course fraudulent. Sites known for this type of behaviour are often listed by more reputable industry websites as ‘rogue casinos’ however the lists compiled are usually based only on anecdotal evidence by other players rather than any official type of information so bear that in mind.

In making a decision on which online casino to trust with your money it is ideal to spend some time researching the site thoroughly to make sure you are dealing with a professional business. Have a look at the type of technology being used: many of the biggest branded casinos rely on software by Microgaming, Realtime Gaming, Playtech, International Game Technology and CryptoLogic Inc. which will give you confidence that they are playing fair. Make sure the websites customer services structure is robust as well: ideally a phone service which is available to customers 24/7 and at the very least an email response service to reply to any queries within a few hours. Take a little time to choose carefully and you won’t regret it!
