RTG Casinos

Since the USA introduced the ill-fated UIGEA in 2006, American players have been faced with less and less choice of good online casinos as the safe and reputable brands pull out and the dodgy rogue operators take advantage. However, there are still a few very good RTG casinos left accepting US players and these are overviewed below. I'd avoid caution toany US player going outside of this list - it becomes a bit of a lottery as regards safety, privacy and above all, getting paid when you win! But if you abide by the terms and conditions of play, the casinos below are good, safe choices. I have played most of them myself. Been there, bought the T-shirt, lost my ass LOL.

OK, a few basics regarding Realtime Gaming software powered casinos before we start. Firstly, you won't find IGT slots here - they create their own - but they are almost exclusively free spins bonus slots and most are pretty good too (check out Cleopatra's Gold for a near clone of IGT's version!). Secondly, these casinos accept US players but Americans should make sure that they can gamble legally in their State. You may also find that if you live in the USA, the Government are rying to stop you gambling online by blocking credit and debit cards, so these are practically useless. Most online gamblers in the US use eWalletXpress or UseMyWallet (sometimes known as Quicktender) which is effective at all the online casinos listed below.

Anyway, back to the RTG software. It really is pretty good and aside from having a good range of slot games, has an excellent choice of video pokers in almost every variety going and from single-hand to 100 hands at a time! Ggames like Roulette, Blackjack - in several forms - and plenty of other card and table games are present and as long as you stick to a good casino, you will have some decent entertainemnt safe in the knowledge you will get paid if you win (see list, below).

Hopefully one day, regulation and legislation will be bought into the USA and you will be able to play Cleopatra, Wolf Run and the slots at IGT casinos, or even a return to the days when Microgaming casinos with their huge range of slot games and Playtech casinos (who have really come on in leaps and bounds since 2009) accepted bets from US players. But until then, it's RTG or nothing and below are the best, safest and most reputable RTG casinos you will find:

	iNetBet Casino iNetBet casino has been around since the late 1990's and despite being licenced in the somewhat useless jurisdiction of Costa Rica, has an excellent reputation and has successfully serviced US players right from Day 1 to the present. The thing that sets iNetBet apart from other RTG casinos is their cashouts - they process twice a day and have a range of effective banking options for US Players. If in doubt about how to deposit or cashout, email their support department and you'll get a quick reply. If you are a bonus hound, then to be honest, you'd be better off at somewhere like Club USA (see below). iNetBet do award a free chip every month, the size of which depends on how much you deposited the previous month (irrespective of whether you lost or won) but if bonuses aren't the be-all and end-all then iNetbet would be my first choice RTG casino, no question.

	Intertops Casino Quite a number of you will probably know the Intertops name from sports betting as they have been around offline for decades and online since the mid 1990's. Their casino originally used Microgaming software but when the USA started puting up barriers and Microgaming stopped their licencees taking US players, they switchd to RTG. Intertops isn't the fastest paying casino (48 hours to process) but it is probably the most effective at ensuring cashouts reach the customer in a timely manner. It's banking options also offer the most choices to an American player. The games choice is very good and their reputation is also of a very high standing. An online casino you can definitely trust.

	Club USA Casino Another solid RTG casino with good deposit and cashing out options who process withdrawals every 24 hours (except at weekends). There is a restriction on cashouts (common at most RTG casinos) of $3,000 a week but if you look at the number of bonuses they throw at you then this seems like a reasonable trade! Seriously, I have never had so many bonuses and OK, they have restrictions, but there must be at least one a day,either a match deposit bonus or a freebie chip. Safe, reliable and probably the best choice for low/medium rollers who like extra chips! Goto Club USA Casino »
