The market of virtual casino operators is powered by software companies, and this section of the Casino Tribunal evaluates the advantages and disadvantages of the most important providers.

Each online casino is based on certain software, just like a computer can run either on Linux or Windows. Thus, the more developed and trustworthy the casino software is, the better the quality of the game as well as more comfort for the player. As it is one of the most important factors for website quality, gaming software plays a big role in the online casino market. Considering this, an online casino player should always stick with reliable and recommended software companies.

Online casino software providers usually design the casino interface, encrypt the software, program it and finally sell their product to companies that are interested in their product.

There are plenty of casino software providers on the online gambling market, and players have many options to find one that satisfies their personal preferences! The different softwares offered by providers vary in their game selection, game options, game rules, banking options, general trustworthiness, graphics, installation time required, etc.

Games such as Blackjack, Slots or Roulette can be played at all software companies, but a player will find that not only do they look different between each provider, but more importantly, that they also have different rules, odds and payouts. Those who love various types of games should pick a provider that offers the biggest selection. Some Video Poker players, for instance, prefer Microgaming or WagerWorks powered operators, where they can chose between dozens of different Video Poker options. Others prefer Boss Media for their great graphics and realistic environment.

Basically it is up to the gambler what provider to chose.

Nevertheless the gambler should be aware that while the number of available online casino software providers is very big, there are only very few well established companies on the internet. It is not merely looks, selection and available game options that count, but also the standards a single provider holds to and sets for its operators! Additionally the provider's security standards, assistance on dispute cases, modernity of the business model, etc. also play a big role.

Taking all of these points into consideration, one could divide all casino software providers into four classes: "good", "average", "not recommended" and "foul".

Online casino software providers can be defined as GOOD when they offer easy navigation, nice graphics and sounds, provide a big range of games and most importantly, sell their product to honest companies only!

AVERAGE online casino software providers are companies that only fulfil a few of the factors that make a good software provider.

NOT RECOMMENDED gaming software providers offer poor quality games and services, but do not display signs of foul casino software providers, as explained below.

Lastly, FOUL online casino software providers can be spotted as they do not offer assistance to defrauded players, provide rigged payouts, and sell their product to anyone. Players should stay far away from companies that are listed here!
