There has been a discussion lately in casino forums about whether players prefer to find online casinos in the top google rankings or online casino guide sites. The online gambling industry has always had allot of casino affiliates in it, hence the huge amount in the search engine rankings but are there too many over packing the rankings. As an affiliate I would tend to take a biased view but I think they are certainly a benefit, allot of people forget what we actually do other than run a business, we advise players on which casinos to play at where they will get the best pay outs and which rogue casinos to avoid at all costs, we keep the players protected. If online casinos were just in the first page of google, newbie players may not read about allot of these casinos actually being a poor choice for players. Just because a website ranks high doesn’t mean it is a reputable online casino. The same goes for online casino guide sites, there are plenty of sites that just point players towards the highest paying affiliate program online casino.
