Current Top 3 Online Casinos

There have been a lot of changes within the online casino community in the past few months. In particular, many of the online casinos that were allowing customers from the United States have either stop accepting U.S. players altogether, stop accepting new American players, stopped advertising or have closed up shop.

One of my previous top 3 online casinos is shutting their doors after 14 years online. English Harbour and their sister casino sites including Silver Dollar, Slots Galore, Millionaire Casino, Superslots and Caribbean Gold will stop offering their services as of the first of August. That means that all of the online casinos that used Vegas Technology software are no longer accepting bets.

Vegas Tech isn’t the only casino software to pretty much pull out of the US market altogether. Almost all Rival casinos have dropped out of the US market completely. This includes Pantasia, This is Vegas, Davinci’s Gold, Mayan Fortune, Cocoa Casino and Paradise8. However, Black Diamond Casino, Box 24 Casino and Spartan Slots are still available.

The one thing that you will notice about my Top 3 Online Casinos list is that all three internet casino sites use the same software – Real Time Gaming or RTG. There used to be more of a variety as far as online casino software was concerned. However, all of the best casino software creators are in the UK and European markets. Many of the online casinos that use this software must agree not to allow Americans to make real money bets using their software.

RTG doesn’t really have a problem with what the internet casinos do with their gaming software after they license it to them. Unfortunately, that is the reason that there are so many RTG casinos on my online casino blacklist post. However, this list consists of online casinos that currently offer the best options for online gambling aficionados.

Top 3 Online Casinos – 07/2011

1) Bovada Casino – Bodog is one of the oldest and most trusted online casino that you will find on the internet. They have been known for fast and free payouts to customers. They have always offered a fair 10% welcome bonus for new players. This bonus has a low wagering requirements and virtually no gaming restrictions.

However, Bodog Casino has just launched a new and improved version of their casino software and they have changed their name to Bovada. To celebrate, Bovada Casino is offering a 100% match bonus for the first time! Enter the Casino Code: CASINO200 and you will receive a match on your deposit up to $200. You can download this software here.

Install the software on your computer and log into the casino. You will have to create an account if you are new to Bovada.

Bonus Terms

This is one of the best bonuses that I have seen in a while. The first rarity is that this is a cashable bonus. After you finish the bonus requirements, you can cash out the bonus money. It is not for wagering purposes only. There are a few games that do not count towards this bonus: Baccarat, Sic Bo, Craps, Casino Hold’em, Lucky Wheel and Roulette.

The wagering requirement is very low for a bonus that includes games like blackjack and video poker. You only need to wager 40 times the deposit and bonus amounts combined. That means you would need to bet ($200 + $200) x 40 or $16,000 before you can cash out. You can only claim this bonus one time.

2) Lucky Red Casino – Lucky Red Casino is my number 1 in this list because I have never had any problem with a deposit or withdrawal with this casino. They are always faster than most when it comes to payments.

They will give you a 400% signup bonus worth a maximum bonus of $4000. You must use the coupon code LUCKYRED400 in the Redeem Coupon section of the casino’s Cashier after you make your deposit but before you make a wager on a game. This bonus is for use with Lucky Red’s Slot Machines Only!

If you are looking to play casino games other than slots, you can claim a 55% bonus worth a maximum of $550. You must redeem the coupon code OTHERGAMES55 after you make your deposit. This bonus can be claimed multiple times.

In order to receive the maximum bonus, you must make a deposit of $1000. There is a minimum deposit of $30 will all of Lucky Red Casino’s bonuses. The wagering requirements are 25x for slots and 42x for the other casino games. Excluded games from all bonuses include baccarat, craps, roulette and sic bo.

3) Pure Vegas Casino – Pure Vegas Casino is the best casino to play blackjack and video poker at. This is because they offer a 100% match bonus up to $1000 for each of your first two deposits. Use the Coupon Codes: PUREBLACKJACK and PUREBLACKJACK2 in the Redeem Coupon section.

The wagering requirements for these bonuses is 75x rollover of the bonus and deposit combined. This can be used to play Blackjack, Texas Hold’em Bonus Poker, Video Poker and Multi Hand Video Poker games.

You are still allowed to play most other games with this bonus. The wagering requirements for these games is 25x rollover. The casino games that are excluded from play with any bonus is baccarat, roulette, craps, bingo, and pai gow poker.
