Online casino gaming has become quite popular over recent years as it offers users convenience and a chance to enjoy the thrill of various casino games. This has in turn encouraged lots of investors to join the industry, and there are hundreds of online casinos available today. However, each of them varies in the quality of service it provides, and others are outright scams meant to defraud unsuspecting gamers.

Before you choose an online casino, it’s advisable that you carry out some due diligence and evaluate its reliability. But how do you do this? We’ll show you the factors to consider in this guide.

Check It’s Licensing and Regulation

Checking the licensing and regulation is the starting point in the world of online casinos. This is because having a proper licence and regulatory authority cuts down the work for you as these authorities hold the casinos to high operational standards. They ensure that a casino operates legally, provides security to player data and finances, and deals fairly with all players.

Online casinos usually display the licensing information on the lower side of the main page. Head there and check whether the casino provides it, then counter-check it online to verify its legitimacy. Ideally, prioritise online casinos licensed by reputable bodies such as the UK Gambling Commission, which regulates the best UK online casino platforms. Other reputable regulators include the Malta Gaming Authority, the Alderney Gambling Control Commission, and the Gibraltar Regulatory Authority.

Reputation and Reviews

There are lots of other gamers who have used the online casino you are considering, and it only makes sense to get their views first. This is quite easy in the age of social media as users leave reviews on various platforms and gaming forums. Use this to get an idea of the casino’s reputation and learn about other players’ experiences.

While checking the reviews and testimonials, be keen on things such as the user experience, customer service, payment durations, range of games, and the overall gaming experience. Since different users will have different views, try to create your own insights based on the information you’ll find, then compare this with what users have to say about a competitor you are considering.

Security Measures & Certifications

Top 10 casinos use advanced security measures to protect personal information and finances. However, the level of security employed will vary from one casino to the other, so it’s good to assess it. As a bare minimum, the online casino should use Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to transmit data between players and the casino’s servers. This is easy to tell, as a site should have https instead of http.

Some online casinos also provide extra information about how they protect your data. However, for maximum security, you can opt for an online casino that is certified by third-party security companies. The certification should also extend to the games used, as there are bodies such as eCOGRA that evaluate and certify casino games to ensure security and fairness. This is quite important as unscrupulous operators can skew the Random Number Generators (RNGs) used in games such as roulette and online slots.

Software Providers and Game Selection

We always consider the number and variety of games offered by online casinos, but it’s also good to consider the providers. Online casinos know this is important, so they always display the name of each game’s developer. Some of the biggest and most reliable names you’ll come across are Microgaming, NetEnt, Playtech, and Evolution Gaming.

Going for reputable software providers will protect you from unfair games. Big-name providers usually work closely with certification authorities to ensure fairness, and they also have a name to protect. On top of that, ensure that you always check the Return to Player (RTP) percentages of online slot game, as this can protect you from unfair games.

Customer Support and Responsiveness

Reliable online casinos usually offer top-notch customer support to assist and guide players whenever needed. On the other hand, less reputable ones will limit the interactions between players and representatives. It’s therefore good to check out the customer support options provided. Live chat support is the gold standard, but various casinos also provide email, social media, and telephone support.

Besides the options available, you can also evaluate the responsiveness by testing the customer support option you prefer. If you don’t want to do that, ensure that you check out online reviews from users who have used the casino’s customer support. This should give you a good idea of how reliable the online casino is.

 

Life Update and Thank You 2023

December 31, 2023 By in Lifestyle Tags: , , , , , , , , , , 4 Comments

Hey friends! I can’t believe the year 2023 is almost over. It has been a very busy year; a year I can never forget with the many highs and a few lows. I am not one to dwell on the “lows” though as it is a waste of vital resources. Hence, I always focus on the good, noble, and positive experiences. Here are some of the things I have been up to this year –

Study

I have been up to all sorts, work and life has been really busy! As many of you are aware, I took a leap of faith and went back to university a few years ago to study a degree in Psychology. I finished the degree with a First Class in the summer at The Open University, and this led to a new adventure in September. I am currently studying a Masters degree in Health Psychology at Aston University, Birmingham. I was privileged to get a scholarship for this degree, and I am forever grateful for the opportunity to specialise in Health Psychology. Health Psychology is something I am very passionate about and I have had my eye on this Masters degree for a few years now. It’s a lot of work and fun at the same time, right up my street, which is just amazing.

Work

With regards to work, many of you may be aware I went back to traditional employment last year. I am still working in the same organisation remotely but in a different role – Relational Mentor, which is now more relevant to my areas of interest. It’s a fantastic role and I am so thankful for the golden opportunity to do what I enjoy to do best.

Blog

So yes, the year 2023 has been very busy in general. I am glad it’s over and I am looking forward to the new year. My blog posts have not been as regular as I wanted them to, due to how busy the year has been, but I am getting into the swing of things, so expect more regular blog posts in the new year and going forward. There will be a few changes as to regards to the content. I won’t be writing blogs on beauty muse and style icons anymore. Also, the tone of the blog posts will likely change slightly and become more personal. I have been running Fashion and Style Police for 11 years now, and a lot has changed in my life as anyone could imagine. So look out for new blog categories and new changes here and there.

Happy New Year

I am super grateful for the year 2023 and all the milestones and experiences. I am logging off for the next few days but will be back shortly feeling rested and refreshed, and with a new blog post that would be worth your time.

Wishing you all a happy new year and a lovely 2024 when it comes. May the new year be filled with blessings and amazing things for us all. Thank you 2023!

How To Stay Healthy While Navigating Your Modeling Career

How To Stay Healthy While Navigating Your Modeling Career picture

If you love beauty and fashion, you may already have or are considering pursuing a career in this industry. One such option is modelling- and why not? As a model, you can be one of the first to debut a new makeup product, accessories, clothes, shoes, hair products, and so on. Likewise, some modelling jobs require you to travel to new places, which can be exciting. With hard work and perseverance, you can land gigs that could boost your financial stability. However, modelling goes beyond the runways, magazines, and photoshoots. It can be stressful sometimes, which can jeopardise your health. The key is to prioritise your well-being while navigating your career. Here are some helpful ways you can consider. 

  • You need sleep to rejuvenate yourself 

Granted, the cosmetic industry has released several beauty products that could give you a flawless look. And while they can cover up a tired face, they can’t give you the energy you need to take on the day. This is why you should not underestimate the importance of good sleep. You should note that having an adequate night’s rest can help you maintain a healthy weight. This is because your body reduces the production of ghrelin, an appetite stimulant. While at it, it increases leptin production, suppressing the need to overeat. Moreover, your brain can relax, allowing you to be in a good mood. This is especially beneficial when you have to be on your feet for a long period. Perhaps you want the best sleep but struggle to do so. If this is the case, consider creating an enduring set of bedtime rituals to help your body adjust to sleep. Skincare routine, regular evening baths, journaling, and so on can work well. Your room’s ambience can also promote sleep, so invest in comfortable bedding, dim your lights, and keep your smart devices away from your room. 

  • Your nutrition is also essential 

Your meals are a non-negotiable part of your health, making it important to prioritise whatever you eat. The goal is to consume a balanced diet of healthy carbs, lean proteins, lots of green veggies, and healthy fats. Combining these meals can give you the energy to power through the day. Likewise, eating well can reduce your desire to eat unhealthy meals, as these can affect your skin by causing premature ageing, inflammation, and acne breakouts. You should also note that knowing how to eat is equally important. Eating three balanced meals daily is what doctors recommend, so keep this in mind. You can also include healthy supplements in addition to your meals; however, ensure you choose the right brands. For instance, products like vegan b12 supplement tablets can increase your vitamin b12 intake while boosting energy. Plus, they are excellent for vegans. 

  • Make time for your social circle 

Like every career, modelling can be tough and sometimes overwhelm you. If this continues for a prolonged period, you may find yourself dealing with mental health issues. Thankfully, your social circle can support you through these times. Hanging out with your friends and sharing your thoughts can provide an outlet for your emotions, improving your mood. Moreover, their encouragement can boost your confidence, which can reflect in your work.
