Everyone has to start somewhere, and with thousands and thousands of on line casino sites, how does a newcomer to on line gambling know how to choose the right casino games and the right casinos.
Many years ago when online gambling became popular many of my friends, including myself had some trying times, first trying to understand the games, and secondly when we figured out just what we needed to do and began to win, we actually had a hard time in many cases collecting our payouts, many things have changed over the years and there are now some good quality casinos that are honest, and do payout.
So what do you look for when choosing an online casino ?
First things first, try finding a well established casino who has been around for a long time, in all fairness there are many fly by night casinos, but then again there are many who have been around for a decade or more.
In many cases when signing up with a new casino you might need technical support, before signing up, check and see what kind of support options are available, whether the casino offers phone, e-mail, or support using some kind of online instant messaging service, many casinos offer both , but making a call or sending an e-mail is a good way to get a feel of how responsive the casino is.
Security
Most casinos today offer good security and encryption, but make sure they offer a minimum of 128 bit encryption.
Country support
If you are playing from the U.S or Canada make sure the casino supports players from those regions, many casinos will not accept U.S players, but then again many online casinos have ways to work around that and offer different depositing methods that do not use a credit card.
Check bonus options
Since there are many competitors in the online gambling industry , many customers offer big sign up bonuses for first time players, but always make sure you read and understand the terms and conditions, many bonus options can offer huge incentives that include repeat player loyalty bonus options.
Good internet connectivity and Virus protection
Virus protection is very important, all though most of the software has been tested thoroughly, make sure your computer is protected with some kind of virus software, there are many free virus software versions available, including AVG and Antivir these can be downloaded and installed for free, Internet connectivity is also very important, make sure when considering online gambling, you want a good reliable connection, the last thing you need is to be in the middle of a poker game with a winning hand, only to be disconnected, Speed can also be an advantage, the faster the connection the faster you can download and install the games on your computer.
So as you can see to begin playing on-line it is fairly straightforward, just use a little common sense and you will be on your way to having some serious fun and even make a little extra money.
