Online Casino Veterans
The Internet as a popular tool for businesses and consumers dates back to around 1995 and you may be surprised
to know that the firstonline casino started operations in the very same year (see below). It's fair to
say the indusry has come a long way in the intervening decade-and-some, most notably the standard
of casino games has considerably improved. Even as I write, the first truly 3D slot games are just starting
to arrive in this rapidly evolving industry.
Back then of course, licensing jurisdictions weren't a factor whereas today they are one of my most considered points when choosing where to play. My page on trust factors will explain in more detail and if you take a look at my own top 10 online casinos you will see all are licenced in strictly goverened gaming jurisdictions.
One or two of these casino names I am sure you will instantly recognise. Being this old doesn't necessarily mean they are one of the top online casinos per se but to have got this far they must be doing something right! It is fair to say though that some of the veterans are also some of the top casino brands and have built solid operations over their lifetime.
For the record, I store the date each casino was established in the database that powers the popular "AZOC" online casino lists and you can get a more complete list of startup dates along with much more info from the "Casino Grid" application I have built over there.
