Environmental Pledge

At CasinoTopsOnline we have always prided ourselves on being conscientious on the topics that both interest our users and make the world, in our estimation, a better place. In this vein, the significance of sustainability and social impact is certainly not lost on us, as we consider the variety of environmental impacts that affect every initiative we traverse. 

The Issue in IGaming

The iGaming industry as a whole has been struggling when it comes to problems such as high energy consumption, electronic waste, and the carbon footprint of its digital infrastructure. When it comes to diversification toward renewable energy, many measures are being implemented that make the issue seem increasingly less significant. Conservation and eliminating inefficiency when handling this data are factors that have gone a long way to reduce the energy demands of late, keeping the requirements steady, despite the increase in data. 

However, it is undoubtedly more important than ever for data to be produced and stored in an environmentally responsible manner.

Our Environmental Cause

In light of this, we at CasinoTopsOnline have committed to holistically lowering our energy consumption and in turn our carbon emissions. Working to improve our environmental impact on each and every page we create. We are keenly focused on using green hosting solutions and optimising our website efficiency. 

CO2 Badge

Our Co2 badge is a symbol of our true dedication to this initiative and represents our tangible successes in the way of achieving this. This not only acknowledges that our actions have had a truly positive effect in lowering our overall consumption and carbon emissions. This has been made possible through numerous measures, including green hosting solutions and optimising game efficiency.

Through measuring our website’s carbon footprint, it is entirely fair to conclude that our efforts have been far more than an improvement but have actually put us among some of the most sustainable in the world. Accruing an A-rating CasinoTopsOnline is 90% cleaner than all the other webpages out there when considering the global average gains lower than an E-rating!

Technical Improvements

Although it is true that this score is indicative that there is clearly not enough effort being directed at making websites across the world more sustainable and less carbonised, however, this should in no way discount the great strides we’ve made to clean up our own act. 

Here are some tangible examples of how we keep our emissions low and our websites efficient;

• Compression

Essentially this measure reduces the size of the files being downloaded every time a new user downloads the files to view our web pages. This reduces the data being downloaded and even improves page loading times.

• Browser Caching

By adjusting caching settings, a browser can retain the same copy for a longer period of time. Therefore, repeat visits to a website download far fewer resources and load much faster.

• HTTPS

A more efficient replacement over the previous HTTP 1.1 method used, this feature should reduce overall download times for a web page.

• Lazy Loading

A more efficient way of loading a page’s resources is to only download files that are immediately required. We now use a popular lazy loading script on the majority of images to keep the initial page download as lightweight as possible.

• Compressing Images

Often images can be reduced in file size without any loss in visible quality, using a tool such as ImageOptim or replaced by the vector SVG format. We actively monitor the images on our website to ensure that these files are no larger than required.
