Starluck Casino was one of the Internet's first casinos. It is still operating but is being phased out in favour of Party Casino.
Like almost all reputable casinos, Starluck run third party software, in this case it is Party Gaming (the same people who run a little outfit called Party Poker). It's a very smooth and good looking package. Game selection is slightly more limited than the other main software types, but really it's just a lack of slot options. Support is slow, but get the job done, and cashouts are fast and there's no messing around with copies of utility bills, or anything like that.

Bonuses:
Starluck look after their players, with redeposit bonuses and other promotions every month (or so it seems). The first deposit bonus is a rather pleasing 100$ match on deposits up to $100. Use bonus code 'WIN100'. It's a straight bonus (they don't take anything out of your first withdrawal) and with a mere8X playthrough.

I always complain about slow cashouts. They annoy me intensely. Well, Phoenician Casino don't have that problem.
Instant cashouts to NETeller. Wow. This is great as far as I am concerned. Their processing times on other withdrawal methods (but why would you bother?) is 48 hours plus transfer time. That's still... | Ratings

I like Blackjack, so I was quite excited when I approached the Blackjack Ballroom. They use Microgaming software (one of the big providers of software to the online casino industry) so their program is polished - it looks good, sounds good, plays good, and is very easy to understand.

888 casino is Casino On Net with a more friendly support staff, and a simplified, less intimidating website.
The casino software is well polished. It's is reliable, and once you get past the lobby, looks good. There is a bug, or something, that means there is a small, but noticeable, wait for... | Ratings

Home of the "luckiest welcome bonus" on the net - $888 in free money. In case you didn't know, 8 is a lucky number for Chinese people (and me too, Vegas Red has been very good to me).
I'd agree with the 2002 Gambling Online Magazine assesment - when Vegas Red won... | Ratings

This is a large well-established casino, using Playtech software, and endorsed by the OPA. It's no surprise that these guys have a good reputation.
Playtech software is reliably good and easy to use. You'll see a number of casinos who use it. This means that it's fair (believe me, Playtech make far... | Ratings

Ruby Fortune are another Microgaming casino. This means that they've got a good software package. It's also an obvious sign of their legitimacy.
You have to submit a form on the website after making a deposit to request your bonus. They say it takes up to 48 hours to approve, but mine... | Ratings

Casino on Net is kind of like Godzilla. It's huge, it's been around a long time, crushed lots of opposition, and it's a lurid green colour.
Now, the colour scheme isn't an advantage, but everything else is.
The casino software is exclusive to Casino on Net, and it is well polished. The software... | Ratings

The name Music Hall is kind of 1920s. The casino though is very much 2000s, with the snazzy new Microgaming software. The 50c blackjack might take you back a few years however.
Microgaming means that the casino is backed by a major league software provider, so their front-end will be rock-solid. Microgaming... | Ratings

The world's largest poker room now has a brand new casino.
Well, it isn't exactly brand new. Party Casino is more or less the result of Party's former brands - StarLuck and PlanetLuck casinos -being phased out in favour of this "new" brand. This means you don't need to worry about bugs... | Ratings
