Beginning to play online 
 

There has been a rapid growth in the number of online casino games in recent years and its popularity shows no signs of easing off. The attractions are obvious, having all the excitement and enjoyment of a real casino without leaving your own home.

However, if you have never played before, getting started can be daunting. Which one is best? What game should I play? What are the rules? How do I collect my winnings? There are many questions arising out of online casinos. Here are a few of our own and some answers to go with them!
  • Which games to start with?
There is a huge range of games to choose from, so take your time to get acquainted with them. Blackjack is considered a favourite amongst many starting out because of the excitement of the format and the high payout potential, as well as proving to be a good test of your strategies and skills.
  • Safety
In general they are extremely safe. However, as with all online business, you should take care to make sure. There are search engines that will point you in the direction of those with the best reputation and there are regulatory bodies that afford the online player some protection. One further check you can make to reassure yourself concerns the software used by a site. The biggest providers would not want to risk their reputation and should be associated with safe sites.
  • Fairness
Are online casinos fair? The answer would be that in most cases they are and, again the biggest names and the major software providers only want to be associated with a good, fair product. Because of the competition, with so many different online casinos to choose from, it is not in their interests to be unfair because of the effect that would have on their reputation online.
  • Withdrawing money
You should find that the casino you use will have a cashier option on its website which is where you will be able to make deposits or withdrawals of cash. You will be asked for a security question or two as is standard. The casinos also generally use the typical banking systems, which will be given to them by the software provider they use.
  • Choosing the right online casino for you
Because there are now so many online casinos all around the world, choosing the one for you will often be one of the most difficult choices. This choice means that there are different software providers, deposit options and terms and conditions.

Therefore, choose carefully. You can do this by seeing, again online, which of the casinos on offer have the best reputation. Then check out their site for yourself, finding out what its own rules are and sign up for a free account to try the games for free before you commit.
  • Winning
The most important part obviously! As with a trip down to your local casino, the online version has exactly the same risks. It is important to bear this in mind and not gamble what you can’t afford to lose. Luck is involved but strategy and skill too and you improve your chances of winning by gaining playing experience, eventually knowing what move to make and when.
