Overview

The online casino industry is one of the fastest-growing industries in South Africa and globally. As a result, players can choose from hundreds of online casinos, which is a good thing. Still, it can also be challenging because finding the best gambling website for your needs takes time.

In order to save our readers (and prospective players) time, energy, and possibly money, we used our experience to create a review and ranking system that covers everything you need to understand the advantages and disadvantages of joining specific online casinos.

By covering every aspect of the work, from bonuses and banking methods to the selection of games and customer service, our reviews can help you identify the options closest to your specific needs and requirements.

How We Rate

Rating Criteria

Follow our guide and learn more about our rating criteria to assess online casinos. You'll understand why these criteria are important and what they cover.

Security

It goes without saying that you should always look for safe and secure gambling websites. Still, having SSL encryption doesn't mean that the casino you are interested in is perfectly safe. Our reviews include information about the licenses these sites hold, certificates issued by independent labs, and other things confirming that these websites are secure.

Fairplay

Generally, a licensed and regulated online casino reviewed by an independent laboratory promises fairplay. Still, Crypto online casinos take this fairness to the next level with the help of the Provably Fair tools enabling players to verify each outcome.

Payout

Only online casinos with the best and most reliable payment solutions and quick processing times get high scores in our reviews. In addition, we recommend sites that provide details about the processing times, verification documents, and deposit/withdrawal limits. In this way, you can rest assured that cashing out your winnings on these platforms is a smooth, hassle-free process.

Player Feedback

We decided to include community feedback as a criterion for rating online casinos. Having hands-on experience and sharing it with fellow players is one of the best ways to evaluate a gambling site.

Support

You must ensure that you get timely and proper help whenever you need assistance on these sites. Our team checks the available communication methods (email, live chat, phone, etc.). It analyzes the response times, professionalism, and friendliness of customer support agents at online casinos.

Software

One of the things that can help you recognize a trustworthy casino is the quality and number of providers on its platform. The best online casinos offer games designed and developed by leading, licensed casino software providers.

Banking

Casinos that provide users secure local banking options have been checked thoroughly by these financial institutions. With their help, they can provide players access to local withdrawals and deposits at low or even without charging fees.

Mobile

If it doesn't provide mobile compatibility, you can't say that an online casino is modern and takes good care of its users. Almost all top casinos have mobile-ready websites, while some have native apps for Android, Windows, and iOS users. Mobile compatibility is another factor that we take seriously when reviewing online casinos.

Reputation

Building trust is crucial for gambling websites because they don't have physical premises where players can play the games and evaluate their work. Our team pays special attention to the online reputation of each casino site before ranking it.

Games

The games are the main reason why so many people join online casinos these days. When assessing a gambling site, we analyze the game providers available there and the number of titles. We also check the categories and ensure they have a versatile offer covering the most popular games like slots, live dealer games, table games, etc. Finally, our experts also analyze how many of these releases are available to mobile users.

Localization

Simply put, localization is the adaptation of the site to meet users' needs from a specific area/region. The top-ranking online casinos on our platform are available to all players coming from South Africa. They also include bonuses that can be claimed by players coming from this country.

Promotions

Finally, we have promotions and bonuses that can serve as a great way to boost your balance and try a casino. Our work involves analysis that goes deeper than the sheer numbers and percentages shared in marketing materials. We also check the winning limits, wagering requirements, game contribution, player eligibility, and other things that reveal the actual value of promotions. In addition to the bonuses for newly-registered players, we also cover the ones created for existing players.

FAQ

There's no option for online casinos to buy an OCR Seal of Approval. Our goal is to provide neutral yet detailed reviews to our readers, so they can make a well-informed decision before joining a casino site. We grant Seals of Approval only to online casinos that have met the highest standards related to our 12-level review process.

Our experts agree that licensing and regulation are one of crucial factors in the process of picking an online casino. Licensed and regulated casino websites are analyzed and tested in detail by the authorities, and players can count on the assistance of an official government agency in cases of disputes.

Undoubtedly, a welcome bonus can boost your initial deposit, but that's it. The other aspects we analyze impact your gambling experience in the long run. That's why security, banking, fairness, and other factors are ranked higher and analyzed first.

After picking a casino site for review, our experts inspect each aspect of their work closely and thoroughly with the help of the twelve criteria on our list. The Seal of Approval is given to online casinos that pass all our filters with a high score.

OCR's team has been involved in online gambling for over two decades. We provided dozens of high-quality guides and detailed, neutral reviews during this time. We follow the latest industry trends and keep our review process up-to-date accordingly.

The good news is that there is more than one trusted, reputable, and reliable online casino. Look for the Seal of Approval to find the best casino sites available to players in South Africa.
