The payout percentage is how much of the deposited money the online casino is paying out to its players. Most online casinos disclose it. A good payout percentage is something more than 97 percent, allowing the casino owners to keep back 3 percent of the deposited money.

It is important for players to be aware of the payout percentage before registering in an online casino. Payouts speak of the casino’s attitude towards its customers. The software regulation is set out at a particular payout percentage decided by the casino owners. Then the software runs to distribute exactly the payout percentage intended to its players.

The other thing to check is whether the casino is making a false advertisement of the payout percentage. Certified online casinos are usually more trustworthy than those which are not. The top certifiers are:

  • The Online Players Association (OPA)
  • PricewaterhouseCoopers (PWC)
  • eCogra (e-Commerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance)

Some of the best percentages in the online casinos come from the Millionaire Casino, Caribbean Gold, River Belle Online Casino, Royal Vegas and a lot of others. The percentages vary from game to game, some having more than 100 percent and others less. The average payouts at these casinos are usually higher than 98 percent.

Golden Riviera, River Nile Casino, Aztec Riches, Vegas Slots, Captain Cooks and Sun Vegas Casino are among the ones with payouts in the 97% plus range. According to the 2008-09 rankings given by leading accounting firms to trustworthy online casinos, a good number of them are listed with payouts in the 96 percent range and the ones in the top ten, in the 97 percent plus range. Slots usually have a lower percentage payout than Tables and Poker, which have more than 100 percent payout in some online casinos like Gaming club and River Nile.
