"The Mainstreet Group is proof that if you do the basics right, such as look after players, you will continue to thrive in this industry, no matter what it throws at you," said Ryan D, Chief Editor and co-founder of Online Gambling Insider. "The last two years have pretty much been a disaster for many, but a few groups like Mainstreet have shows the resilience to succeed, even in the United States marketplace," he continued. "The Mainstreet Group has built up a very good reputation in gambling circles and its refreshing to see that some groups are putting in so much effort to meet the needs of North American casino enthusiasts," said Ryan.

Online Gambling Insider certifies online casinos, sports betting sites and poker rooms. Certified operators are subject to rigorous testing procedures. Qualifying criteria includes the corporate and financial backing of the operator, quality of customer service, game fairness (including player terms and conditions), games portfolio, financial processing and licensing. The most important factor taken into account when awarding a certificate is the player experience. Online Gambling Insider staff test each casino as real players, and over a period of time, every aspect of the casino or poker room's operation is experienced first hand.

"It is critical for us to see if a casino displays trustworthy behavior," says Ryan. In order to be certified by Online Gambling Insider and qualify for their $1,000 deposit guarantee, each site is tested thoroughly. "We need to protect the credibility of our certification process, so we have to work on facts," Ryan continued. "We focus on the player experience. We become real players at all the casinos we test, and deposit between $200 and $500 during the testing process, claim bonuses, and remain active players over an extended period of time," said Ryan.

"A lot of emphasis is placed on customer service, and we have designed a process where we will interact with each casino over a period of time," Ryan continues. "Having been in the industry for many years now, we are able to uncover bad service and unfair treatment very quickly," continues Ryan.

TheMainstreet Group now qualifies for the portal's unique insurance cover. "We are confident that we won't ever have to intervene and refund a player, but it is reassuring for people to know that there is an independent safety net," Ryan concludes. "However, if a player referred by us ends up being short changed, we will step in and refund them."
