Online casinos guide and review - Casino
FAQ
Below are a
list of commonly asked questions about online casinos that are posed
regularly. This is by no means a complete list, however if you're
new to online casinos and want to get started playing online for
real money then the FAQ below should be of some assistance to you.
How Do I play for “Real Money” at an online Casino?
In order to be able to play for real money, you must first download
the free software that the online casino of your choice offers. It
is usually quite fast and easy to do so. Then you must create an
account with all your information (Don’t worry online casinos are
very secure) and create a user name and password. Now you can log
into the casino and go to the “cashier” or “bank” to purchase the
amount of chips you desire. Once your deposit is accepted you are
free to go to your favorite game and play.
What is the difference between Download, No Download Play?
Well “no download” play is when you are able to bet on your favorite
casino games from any computer without having to download anything.
No downloads are usually in the form of Java, so you must be sure
that your computer has Java (or you can download Java very quick and
easily). Thought the convenience of java play is great, you may not
be able to find a huge variety of games available and it is possible
that you can lose your play if your computer loses its connection.
Some casinos won’t even offer “no download” play.
“Download Play”, the mot recommended way to enjoy yourself at an
online casino, requires you to download the particular software onto
your home computer. Or onto any computer you may want to play at.
Although this may be inconvenient at first, as it can take some time
to download and use up space on your computer, we always recommend
to play on downloaded software as the selection of games is far
greater and the overall quality and feel of the games are also far
superior. Once you have downloaded the software once, it should
remain in your desktop and it is now as easy as one click of the
mouse to enter your favorite online casino.
Where do I find a safe and reputable online casino to join?
There is a lot of information out there on the web on which are the
best online casinos to play at. Search for any online gaming portal
that offers information and reviews on the top casinos. You can be
directed to the casino straight from these websites.
Is it legal to gamble Online?
For the most part yes, it is legal to gamble online. In the United
States, the government is currently trying to prohibit the practice
of online gambling, but no laws have been passed yet. There are
however a few states and regions around the world that have been
successful in outlawing online gambling, so just to be sure, it
might be worth it for you to look into your local laws to find out
the standing of online gambling on your area.
When I win, when and will I be paid?
The answer is yes, you will get paid when you win big at an online
casino. All the casinos recommended here and many more are very
reputable and honest. They are in business to make money and they
realize that if they do not pay you your fair share that there are
lots of ways that you can communicate with other players that you
were mistreated and they don’t want that reputation. Just be sure
that when you are talking advantage of any bonus offers that you
have read the conditions that it comes with. Some have wagering
requirements that you must follow in order to claim your prize. In
terms of when you will receive the payment, this depends on the
banking method you have chosen to use at the online casino. Some
allow the casino to credit your account immediately, while others
have you waiting for a check in the mail, which could take two to
three weeks.
But if I don’t get paid what should I do?
As mentioned above, as long as you have followed the terms and are
not cheating the casino, you are almost guaranteed to be paid. The
online casino is making a lot of money and does not have any reason
to not pay out its winners. Just do a little research and find out
which casinos have a good reputation and are recommended on gaming
related sites. If you do however believe that you are honestly owed
some money and the casino won’t pay you, you can find a number of
great portal sites on the web who will offer tips and assist you in
getting your money.
Is playing my favorite casino games fro real money safe to do
online?
Absolutely, there a lots of casinos who have been in business for
several years and if they where ripping off their clients, most
likely everyone on the gaming world would quickly find out as the
internet makes it very easy to spread gossip. If it was unsafe and
people were unfairly losing their money the casino would go out of
business fast. There are also a number of services and alternatives
available these days to make monetary transactions, without having
to give the online casino your credit card number, if that makes you
uncomfortable.
Moneybookers, Citadel, NETeller, ACH money transfers FirePay and
Click2Pay are just a few of these services available to you.
Can I use the same computer to play at the same casino that my
roommate and/or spouse use?
Many casinos do not like it when two or more people play from the
same computer because in their eyes, this is a form of cheating. But
you can simply write an email asking for the casinos permission and
in most cases they will allow it. Just be sure to keep a copy of the
email handy in case you have any problems with this issue in the
future.
What are my options for depositing money into my account?
You must find out form the casinos website what your options are. In
most cases, for your convenience, they will offer many options.
Credit Cards, Bank wires, personal and electronic checks, ACH
transfers,
Moneybookers, Citadel, Bank drafts and a number of third party banking
services such as NETeller, 900Pay, FirePay and Click2Pay are some of
the more common alternatives that you will find.
What are my betting limits at an online casino?
Of course the answer to this question will vary depending on which
casino you are playing at, but at an online casino, betting limits
are anywhere from $1 -$25. However this is just he average, there
are some casinos that offer games with higher limits (for the “high
rollers”) and then there are a handful that offer low limit games
where your bet can be as little as 5 cents (for the casual and
beginner players).
What are the typical payout percentages in regards to online slot
machines?
Again, this will depend on the casino, but the average would be
somewhere between 96% and 99%. Because of lower overhead costs the
online casino can and will offer better odds for their slot machines
than any land-based casino would offer.
What would happen if I tried to charge back my losing's?
Since in the past, this was a problem for online casinos, they had
to do something. So if you charge back your losing's, you will be
black listed in the casino community as being a risky player and
will be locked out of the particular casino that you are trying to
rip off. And in some cases, the casino may be part of a larger group
of casinos and if you try to use the same credit card at another
casino you may be denied access. We don’t recommend that you do
this. In the long run it is not worth it.
What will happen if I pay by check and don’t have enough in the bank
to cover my charges?
In most cases this shouldn't’ become a problem as a lot of casinos
will wait for your check to clear before they credit your account.
However if this is not the case and you do receive the credit right
away, spend the money and then the casino discovers that the check
was bad, you will probably be charged and prosecuted for fraud.
Again we don’t recommend that you try this.
