Why We Started Arab Casino VIP
Finding trustworthy online casinos as a Middle Eastern player is not easy. Many sites don’t accept players from our region, others have payment methods that don’t work with local banks, and some simply disappear with player funds.
We created Arab Casino VIP after experiencing these problems ourselves. Our founder lost money to an unlicensed casino that stopped processing withdrawals. Thus, this frustrating experience led us to build a resource specifically for players in GCC.
What makes our approach different is our dedicated regional focus. We test platforms from Middle Eastern locations using local payment methods for casinos, ensuring our gambling reviews are relevant and practical.
All our content is written by people who actually play at these sites, with a special emphasis on casinos that welcome players from GCC countries. Most importantly, we understand the legal and practical challenges of online gaming in our region and address them directly.
How We Test Casinos
Our testing process is straightforward but thorough. We don’t just read terms and conditions; we actually play at every casino we review over a period of 3 to 4 weeks. The process begins with registration, where we create accounts using regional details and test the document verification system with local IDs.
Next, we conduct comprehensive payment testing by making real deposits with popular regional methods and then testing the withdrawal process with actual money, carefully documenting any fees or currency conversion issues we encounter.
Our team then moves on to the game experience, playing a variety of slots, table games, and live dealer options to test loading speeds and performance with local internet providers. Finally, we assess customer support by contacting them in both Arabic and English during regional business hours.
We ask specific questions about regional restrictions to gauge their knowledge and responsiveness. We only recommend sites that successfully pass all stages of this hands-on testing – Davari.
Meet Our Team
Our small team combines diverse skills to create honest and helpful reviews for the Arab gaming community.
Vincenzo Davari – Founder and CEO
Vincenzo started Arab Casino VIP in 2019 after a bad experience with an unlicensed casino cost him $3,000. With a background in digital marketing and SEO, he understood the online gaming industry but realized existing review sites did not address the specific needs of Middle Eastern players.
In his role, Vincenzo sets our review standards and testing procedures. He also maintains relationships with trusted casino and sports betting operators and handles all business partnerships and site development to help others avoid the mistakes he made.
Qazi – Casino Reviewer
Qazi handles the detailed evaluation of each casino. Having played at online casinos for over eight years, he understands what separates good sites from bad ones. His process involves personally testing all major casino features, from game selection to customer service.
He then assigns ratings based on a casino’s actual performance and is responsible for updating reviews when policies change, as well as maintaining ongoing monitoring of our recommended sites.
Abdul Mujeeb – Platform Tester
Abdul focuses on the technical side of casino testing, checking security features, payment processing, and overall site functionality. His background in IT enables him to identify potential technical issues that could impact a player’s experience or security.
He focuses on verifying security measures, such as SSL encryption, testing site performance from regional locations, documenting payment procedures, and checking mobile compatibility and app functionality.
Cezar Raya – Arabic Content Writer
Cezar creates all written content in the Arabic language, drawing on his experience in online writing to explain complex casino terms in simple Arabic. As an active player himself, Cezar knows what information players truly need.
His approach is to write reviews based on actual testing results, focusing on practical details like payment processing times, withdrawal limits, and bonus terms. He is also responsible for creating Arabic guides to answer common player questions and keeping all content updated as casino policies change.
Our Review Standards
We maintain consistent standards for all casino reviews, based on what matters most to Middle Eastern players. Our essential requirements mandate that a casino must hold a valid gambling license from a credible authority, accept players from the GCC/MENA regions, and offer payment methods that are operational in our region.
Furthermore, they must provide responsive customer support and have fair bonus terms and conditions. When it comes to payments, we prioritize platforms that support credit and debit cards compatible with regional banks, e-wallets popular in the Middle East, and cryptocurrency options for privacy.
We also look for reasonable withdrawal processing times and transparent fee structures. Security is paramount, so we verify that a site uses SSL encryption for all data transmission, provides secure payment processing, and offers responsible gambling tools. A clear privacy policy and regular security updates are also non-negotiable.
Transparency About Our Business
We want to be completely honest about how our site works. Arab Casino VIP earns commissions when players sign up through our links. This is a standard practice for review sites, allowing us to keep our content free for our users.
Also, this model motivates us to help players find positive experiences, as our long-term success depends entirely on player satisfaction.
Recommending bad casinos that don’t treat players well would ultimately hurt our reputation. Our commitment to our readers is firm.
We never accept payments for positive reviews, and all casinos undergo the exact same rigorous testing process. We pledge to update our reviews if a casino’s quality changes and to maintain transparency in our affiliate relationships.
Supporting Our Community
Beyond reviews, we strive to assist Arabic-speaking players in other ways by providing free advice on casino-related issues, guidance on responsible gambling practices, and information about regional legal requirements.
We don’t just review casinos once and forget about them; we conduct ongoing monitoring of our recommended sites to ensure they maintain their high standards.
If a casino’s quality drops, we will update our review or remove our recommendation entirely. Our goal is to provide a reliable resource that helps Arabic-speaking and non-Arabic-speaking players in the GCC make informed decisions about where to play safely and securely.
We understand the unique challenges of gaming from our region and work to provide practical, honest advice based on real experience.
