Regulated Gambling Sites For USA Players In 2024

Why We Go To Such Lengths To Find The Best  Legally Licensed And Regulated Gambling Sites Available In 2024

As you can tell from our site, we're not inundated with annoying ads, nor are we trying to sell you any type of products. So, what's in it for us, exactly? If you're asking that, it's a very fair question. After all, no business operates as a charity, lest it would be called a charity. And make no mistake, Regulated Gambling Sites, while a gambling brand, is definitely also a business.

However, we're not a business in the conventional sense of the word. Our business is actually helping you find the best websites with which to bet. What we get out of it is an overall stronger gambling market. You see, as more and more players flock only to legitimate sites, and as more and more Americans are offered safe haven with offshore sites, what happens is the predictable market parity that always happens in economics.

What this means, in plain English, is that by directing you to only the best gambling websites out there, we're actually forcing those shoddy, cheap and scam sites out of existence. The only way sites will be able to compete is by mirroring the safe, secure and fair practices of legitimate sites. As for sites accepting Americans, it's also as simple as market parity forcing a parroting effect.

For instance, the sites that make the most revenue will be the sites offering their services to Americans. And as newcomers realize that this is where the money is at, that business model will be emulated.

So, by pointing you in the direction of regulated, legitimate gambling websites, we're actually helping the market to trend in that direction via market parity. We cannot do this single-handedly, of course, but every little bit helps, and so we do our part to help shape the gambling market of the future, and we hope that the future is bright for all gamblers.

Our Mission

We have a pretty simplistic formula here at Regulated Gambling Sites. We're all about delivering to you accurate information pertaining to the best online gambling sites. This is what our brand is all about: Delivering information. You see, we're not some big-wigs in offices behind computer screens. We're not minions of Wall Street looking to create a billion-dollar IPO. We're simply gamblers. We love sports, we love casino games, we love poker. We gamble because it's what we want to do.

However, we notice the same trend you notice, and that's that fewer legitimate sites are actually available to US-based players these days. You basically have to go on a scavenger hunt to find a site catering to US players, and even then it's typically some flash-in-the-pan newcomer whose game selection is slim, whose graphics are shoddy, and whose safety record is spotty at best. We delve into the entire online gaming genre in order to seek out legitimate sites that are fully licensed and regulated, absolutely safe, and that still allow for US sign-ups. This isn't an easy task. Not many casino companies want the hassle of serving Americans. But they do exist out there, and we locate them.

Once we find the sites that offer their services to American players, we then begin our vetting process. We aren't simply looking for a site whose mission statement says that they're the best. We demand a burden of proof. We are very skeptical when it comes to online gambling, and so we put contending sites through a slew of quality control measures to ensure they meet the grade. Only after this exhaustive effort do we present to you the best sites online at which you can gamble safely.

How We Decide Which Regulated Gambling Sites To Endorse

So, how do we go about finding which casinos are actually legitimate and which you should avoid? This isn't the easiest process out there. We could, like many sites do, simply see what the site says about itself and then relay that information; e.g. "Site X is a great site because they offer this bonus, that promotion, and this promise!" But that's exceedingly generic, and what we strive for is openness and honesty.

To that end, we really delve into the sites. We play with their software. We check out their depositing and withdrawal methods. We see what real players are saying about them on blogs and forums. We check their security encryption and make sure they're offering legitimate safeguards against hacking. We have a strict list of criteria to which we hold all gambling sites, and if a site doesn't make the grade, that site doesn't make it to print. It's that simple.

Here are some of the things we really focus on with the regulated casinos we check out.

Licensing And Regulation

Regulated Gambling Sites is more than our name; it's our brand. So the first area of intense focus we place is on the site's actual licensing information. For instance, let's say that a site is licensed and regulated by the Malta gaming authority, but let's also say that there has been a scandal recently in Malta. There hasn't, thankfully, but for the sake of argument. Now, we take this into account then judging a casino's license and regulatory authority. If there's going to be trouble in Malta, and if there's some underhanded dealings going down with how casinos are regulated there, we're going to include that in our impartial reviews, and that information will weigh heavily in the verdict we render.

What we're looking for primarily are sites that have solid licenses with stable governments who really take regulation seriously. Many governments outside of America definitely do not want to be known as the regulatory body that defrauded Americans out of money. They don't want to tangle with America in that arena. But others don't care and offer lax security because the influx of money is more important. We research and make the distinction. We weed out the puppet licenses and try to recommend only casinos that are 100% legitimate.

Safety And Security

Any start-up with cut-rate web hosting can get at least decent security via a basic 128-bit encryption. So, even the worst online gambling sites are going to have some semblance of security, but this just creates a false sense of security. What we're looking for in order to stamp with our seal of approval are sites that go above and beyond the basic protections.

We want sites who offer award-winning security and who proudly display their security banners on their site. We check to see what extras a site offers in terms of security, such as increased measures to protect against unwanted log-ins from intruders on outside machines, extra safeguards against hackers, and other additional areas where security is beefed up. A site doesn't have to be cutting-edge and offer dozens of independent security measures to earn a high rating from us, but a site does have to do more than the bare minimum. Laziness in protecting gamblers is, to us, tantamount to fraud. If an online gambling site cannot be bothered to better protect its clientele, then we cannot be bothered to offer them a rating of legitimate. Fair enough?

Gaming Software

RTG, Microgaming and PlayTech are just a few of the many legitimate software platforms that we're checking for when we review a casino. Now, not having a top-flight software package isn't an instant deal breaker, of course. But it definitely helps a casino stand out as legitimate if they're offering tried-and-true, customer-favorite gambling software.

The big names in the industry offer up software that operates smoothly on any platform, that doesn't lag or glitch or require tons of processing power, etc. The big names in gambling software also offer a much broader game selection. For instance, their casino games include many live dealer options, many niche games like scratchers and keno, and a much wider range of table options.

The big boys also offer jackpots that are exponentially larger for games like video slots. So, yes, software is a strong area of focus when deciding whether a site is legitimate or not.

A Site's Reputation

You're probably fully aware of those 3 a.m. paid programs, right? They're always peddling some product to the public that promises to do so much for not much money. Well, by and large, those products are garbage. And, of course, it's not the company itself that comes out and admits the truth. Rather, it's the public who purchased the shoddy product that says, "Hey, this doesn't work!"

This same principle holds true with online gambling sites. If there's a site out there that has ripped people off, held their money too long, offered unfair odds on games, etc, then the public is going to be outraged about it. We dig around Tumblr, Facebook, the blogosphere, and plenty of gaming forums to find out exactly what real players are saying about the casinos we're reviewing. We won't settle for one or two simple comments.

You never know when someone's just disgruntled because they made a stupid bet. Instead, we look hard for trends in how customers feel about the gaming sites. If they're trending negative, we take into account what the customers are saying. If they're trending positive, we count that toward the overall rating we're handing out to a legitimate gaming site.

What Gambling Means To US

Our team is made up of men and women from all across the globe. We're a very diverse group of people, and we embrace diversity and multiculturalism. It helps keep things interesting in life in general. But there is one paramount area of overlap: We all love gambling. Some of us are very avid gamblers who religiously bet sports and play poker. Some of us enjoy niche games like blackjack or the slots. And some of us are just occasionally tinkerers and enjoy wagering a few bucks every now and again. But on pure principle alone, we love gambling. What we want, more than anything, is to help revitalize the gambling market the way it was in the early 2000s, when it was easy to find a regulated, legitimate website accepting everyone and offering premium services.

Many of today's websites are running scared from the start and so they only offer their services to nations whose gambling laws are very lax, avoiding people like Americans like the plague. Gambling means a great deal to us all, which means that the freedom to gamble when one wants to gamble is a chief concern of ours. It's the principle of the matter. People who want to gamble should be allowed to do so!

It really crawls under our skin that many gamblers are being led astray by shoddy sites and unregulated casinos that end up ripping them off or putting their money in limbo. If we can change that, we will. And we will start by pointing people in the direction of sites that are fully regulated and 100% legitimate and fair. And it's because gambling means a lot to us; it's part of who we are.
