Our History
OnlineUnitedStatesCasinos.com was founded on March 16, 2013, as a poker and online casino reviewer.
Finding real, trustworthy pinformation was a challenge in the internet then. Poker players were often left in the dark, unsure of which sits to trust with their money.
This uncertainty was magnified by Black Friday, a day that changed the industry. Many players had lost their money to disreputable providers and were left wondering where to turn for reliable advice about legit operators that would payout.
With this in mind, our platform was born out of this necessity, as we understood the importance of trust and transparency in the online casino world.
We have since evolved, embodying a diverse background of experts and players committed to helping users every step of the way.
2009–2011
It all began with poker. Many of the larger providers left the US market, making it hard to find a good poker site.
After our team played with many operators for about a year, we had the idea for a website listing US-friendly poker casinos and reviewing each one.
2012
After a few years, many visitors started asking questions about where to play online slots and casino games.
So, a page listing USA-friendly online casinos was added, and immediately, it seemed to receive a lot of visitors. This success naturally led to the decision to keep producing content related to this topic.
March 2013
OnlineUnitedStatesCasinos.com is officially born!
We focused on reviewing the best online casinos that accept US credit card players. By the best, we mean operators that offer great games, good customer service, and, most importantly, the ability to approve US credit card deposits.
Nothing is more frustrating than signing up and downloading an online casino only to have your deposit declined.
2013–2015
In the aftermath of Black Friday, UIGEA, and several major scandals, our team grew concerned about what makes an online casino safe for players.
So we began to dig deeper into which ones can be recommended, which you should avoid, and which casinos should be blacklisted.
Our honest reviews go beyond what makes a casino site trustworthy. We also tell our readers what we do not recommend.
2015–2016
Our team continues to expand the scope of our online casino reviews, adding many new operators every month. We divide the categories into Gold, Silver, and Bronze casinos.
We also continue to update our list of operators we do not recommend, as well as blacklisted ones. We include payment processing guides, Live Casino, and table game reviews.
2017
Our first-ever Las Vegas Casino Surveys are published. The surveys help players find which Vegas casinos have their favorite games. We have two different surveys: Our main survey is the Las Vegas Blackjack Survey, and the other one is the Vegas Casino Table Games survey.
These are a directory of the best casinos and games in Las Vegas.
2018
We are featured in Casino Player Magazine and other major online publications highlighting our Las Vegas Blackjack Survey. Our Online Slots hub is launched with reviews on the best slot machines… and it keeps growing with new reviews each day!
Internet use on mobile phones is growing exponentially year by year. As a natural result, so is mobile gaming.
Our team began implementing design and formatting enhancements to help its users navigate on mobile.
2019
In February, our platform was featured in International Casino Magazine at ICE London 2019. In March, we appeared in Casino Player Magazine once more, and the Las Vegas Casino Survey was updated.
NOW
We continue to build our story every day because the online casino industry is also growing at an amazing rate.
We updated our ranking system, expanding how we score casinos into seven specific criteria. We assign scores in the following categories: reputation, banking options, bonuses, game selection, user experience, customer support quality, and commitment to responsible gaming.
We aim to be the utmost online casino authority and strive to provide you with the most reliable, useful, and trustworthy information.
