A Beginner’s Guide to Online Gaming
When first deciding to play online, the newbie to online gambling
really needs to do his/her homework before deciding where to play
and how to deposit. Many amateurs aren’t sure exacting where
to go or what to do before they play and will deposit at shady places
and wonder why they’re not getting paid. Nine times out of
ten, they neglect to read the casino’s terms and conditions,
but there are many other things to consider. If you like the look
of the casino, then read the terms and conditions of the online
casino. It is necessary that the online casino has clear terms and
conditions. If the casino has no terms and conditions listed, then
don’t bother to look for other factors.
The first thing that needs to be researched is the software. Which
casino to go to is just scratching the surface, but the software
manufacturer is an important aspect in the decision making process.
Currently there are five PRIMARY online casino software providers.
They are Microgaming, Real Time Gaming, Wagerlogic (also known as
Cryptologic) and Playtech. It is recommended to stay with the top
five software powered online casinos. If in case you see a casino
using a different software or proprietary, do your homework and
make sure that they are fair.
The next factor is the casino license. Where they are licensed
is very important, as well as IF they are licensed. The preferred
licensing jurisdictions are that of UK and Isle of Man, Gibraltar,
Australia, Kahnawake Canada, Antigua, Netherlands Antilles and Costa
Rica ( but only for certain RTG casinos ) In case you come across
a casino with no licensing information, don’t take the risk,
just avoid them.
It’s important the casino you choose has 24 hour customer
service. Make sure you are confident with the level of support provided
by the casino. It is recommended to choose casinos offering customer
service through email, phone and live chat. Most of the reputed
online casinos have live chat.
The next step is to make sure that the online casino accepts players
from your country or jurisdiction. Not all casinos accept players
from all countries or even every state in your country. The player
has to provide the casino with certain personal information while
registering with the casino. Security of data has to be a major
factor on which the player decides who to play with. The player
will have to check what security measures are taken by the online
casino.
Next, be sure to compare the sign up bonus of the various online
casinos and choose the best. Do make sure to read all the terms
and conditions of the bonus offer because it is possible that they
have hidden conditions like playthrough requirements.
A number of payment options are now available for internet financial
transactions. Banks and credit cards usually do not prefer to process
financial transactions made through online casinos. There are other
trustworthy and safe online payment methods now available. The better
known ones are Neteller, Click2Pay and Firepay. There are also other
deposit options available even though the above mentioned methods
are recommended.
The last thing you should research is the choice of the game. It
is best to read game reviews before choosing the game. The best
thing about online casinos is that the player can try any game for
free, although not all have the free play mode. Try the game at
first for free to learn how to play it before depositing and playing
for real.
