Best casino game providers

On the list below, you can see the top software providers per category for each type of game. There are many different games on offer in the iGaming industry, including the likes of slots, progressive jackpots, video poker, blackjack, roulette, and more. While most software providers cover all the game types, some specialize in slots, while others fully focus their attention to live casino games.

Are online casino games safe?

To answer the question directly, yes, they are. All online casino games are run by a special device called Random Number Generator. You might have come across the shortened term RNG. This powerful software is responsible for controlling the game’s outcomes and gameplay. It does that in the fairest and safest way possible. Of course, the games are as safe as your casino of choice. That’s why it’s important to pick safe casinos with proper licenses and security features over a new and unproven casino site.

Luckily, the most trusted casino sites have their games tested by leading software auditors such as eCOGRA, iTechLabs, or GLI. These testing labs have a set of tools that test each game released by every reputable studio, performing heavy-duty tests that verify the game’s authenticity, fairness, and safety. Reputable casino sites will proudly display the badges of these auditors on their sites so you can rest assured their games are safe and fair.

Casino software auditors

As mentioned earlier, casino software auditors are responsible for testing the safety and fairness of the top casino games. Whether it’s slots we’re talking about, blackjack, roulette, or live casino games, testing labs such as eCOGRA, GLI, and iTechLabs do their job perfectly.

Out of the three, eCOGRA is probably the most well-known. It was launched in 2003 in the UK and is a leading independent auditor. This internationally approved testing agency specializes in testing, inspection, and certification of online gambling software and systems. By software, we mean casino games. Casinos that have the eCOGRA certificate are held in the highest regard, which doesn’t make GLI and iTechLabs inferior at all.

Both are internationally recognized and proven testing agencies whose value is just as great as eCOGRA’s. iTechLabs is also certified to test RNGs, giving casino sites comprehensive tests that verify their authenticity and game fairness.

Licensing

The license is one of the most important factors at casino sites in New Zealand. No one should ever join an unlicensed casino – a site that doesn’t have one of the licenses below is most likely a scam. There are many licensing authorities out there, with the MGA and UKGC being the most respected.

However, locally, NZ online casinos are licensed by the Gambling Commission of New Zealand. They issue licenses only to casinos that have servers in New Zealand. The Curacao eGaming Authority is another common licensing body, although the value of that license is much less respected when compared to the other bodies.
