24/7 Online Casino Customer SupportBy: Joan Peppin, Monday March 2nd 2009 7 Comments  Email  Print
Online players may need assistance in a variety of situations. They may be facing problems in installing a particular game; or may want to know if they have completed the wagering requirements on a bonus or may need clarification on the rules of a new promotion. All these issues and many more are resolved by contacting customer support. If the online casino does not provide an efficient and courteous customer support service then over time it will lose clientele to other casinos. Not only must the online casino provide an efficient and courteous customer support service but it must provide the support 24/7, which is 24 hours a day and seven days a week. Unlike land casinos, online casinos do not have specified restricted operating hours. Players can wager any time of the day or week. Because the casino can be accessed from anywhere in the world, players from different time zones are playing simultaneously. And players need solutions immediately. Hence it is essential that the customer support service is available round the clock. Online casinos offer customer support service through various means. One of the most common means is through the telephone. Players can simply call the telephone number given at the customer support section, explain the problem to the support staff member that receives the call and get the solution to the problem. Many online casinos offer toll free numbers that can be dialed from high density player regions like the United States and the United Kingdom and others. But those outside these regions have to use an international line and bear the cost of the call. There is another small problem that players calling customer support over the phone lines may face. They would have to go through an identity verification process because the discussion may involve sensitive information. The online casino has to ensure that such information is not revealed to anyone but the concerned player. The cost and the verification problems are taken care of in e-mail support. Players send their queries free of cost though e-mail, often using a link provided within the casino software. And since the e-mail is sent after logging in there is no need of any identity verification. However response to e-mails is not instantaneous. There can be gap of several hours before a reply is received and if the reply leads to some more questions then further time is lost. Fortunately there is now a method of customer support that incorporates the advantages of telephonic and e-mail support and eliminates their disadvantages. This is live chat. Live chat is free and the response is instantaneous. It is just like communicating using any Internet messaging service. Only in this case the service takes place within the online casino software client. The best online casinos provide the live chat facility. Prominent are the casinos of the Rushmore gaming group - Rushmore Casino, Cherry Red and Slots Oasis Casino. In fact this facility is provided by several other online casinos recommended by CasinoAdvisor. Article Tools

I don't think that I'd play at any online casinos that didn't offer this kind of support service where they were accessible to me all the time if I needed them for something. Just like in land based casinos, the operators of online casinos should make themselves available to us all the time as players when we need them to sort out issues, give comps and rewards, etc...

Key characteristic no joke in a great online casino is their ability to provide good high quality customer support and service. It would seem as though there are many online casinos that don't but those that do will ultimately prevail in the long run as leaders.

Even 24/7 customer support or so called stated 24/7 support that's offered by online casinos isn't all that what it's chalked up to be. I beleive that you're best to try calling the customer support or writing them even before playing to see how long it takes them before they get back to you.

Playing at online casinos that don't offer 24/7 support is a problem and you're just asking for issues down the line. I beleive that if a casino online doesn't offer 24/7 support that it's a good indication that the they're not serious about giving the same level of service to all their players around the world because online casinos are internationally accessible for the most part. I always look for and will only play at online casinos that do offer 24x7 support!

It's key for online casinos to have 24/7 customer support I know that there's been times when I've wanted to play and had an issue and and needed to talk to them. If I wasn't able to get a hold of them then I probably would have gone somewhere else to play at a casino that did have the support.

I'm not sure how many of you out there have been in a bit of a pickle where you want to play and can't either make a deposit at the casino you've already been playing at for quite some time or alternatively have some other sort of issue that requires the assistance of someone on the side of the casino. Knowing that you can get a hold of the casino whenever you're playing is a great thing and really let's you play with peace of mind. I only play at casinos that currently offer 24/7 support and also prefer playing at those that offer live chat and phone support as I find it much easier to get in touch with them via these means then other options sometimes offered by online casinos.

247 support is key to a great online casino or other type of gambling operation to be clear on it. Really there's nothing worse then not being able to get a hold of someone when you're looking for information pertaining to something like a bonus that you've accepted but can't necessarily find the information on their site for, etc...
