New to online casinos?

Curious but uncertain?

• Heard about online casinos through a friend or by seeing an ad on
  a website?
• Wonder why on earth someone would want to play online rather than
  visit a casino?
• Not sure about how it all works?
• Can online casinos be trusted?

Playing at an online casino is a very new idea for many people,
although you’ll be surprised to know that many online casinos have
been around since the 1990s!

Why would you want to play roulette, slots, craps or blackjack online
instead of going to a casino? Many people find that it’s simply a heck
of a lot more convenient to to play at home – no need to get dressed
up, no parking hassles, no expensive drinks…

Online casinos have developed immensely over the past couple of years
to include a social element to it as well – you can play against live
blackjack dealers, or chat with other Bingo players or even take part
in real-time slots tournaments against players from around the world.

Many people are concerned about their privacy online and the security
of their money. IN FACT these are the two things you should most be
concerned about – your person and your wealth. However there are
things that you can look for to make sure that you’re playing at a
trusted and secure online casino:

• Microgaming software: Microgaming is the oldest
  and largest developer of casino software in the world and is highly
  trusted by millions of players. Casino operators who run on
  Microgaming software are considered to be trustworthy

How to play

Most online casinos give you the option to download the casino
software to your computer, install it and play – or to play instantly
online in a “Flash” version of the software (no download required).

There are usually two options when playing: play as a Guest (for free)
or as a Real player (playing for real money). As a Guest you will be
able to play risk-free and try out the games, and as a Real player you
can win real money and also have access to play to win the Progressive
Jackpots (where people literally become millionaires with a single
win).

How to buy casino credits

In order to play the games for real, you will need to load up your
account with casino credits (just like buying chips at a casino).
After a session of playing you can close the software and come back
later to carry on playing – your account balance will remain the same
until you start playing again.

From time to time you may even receive extra credits as incentives
from the casino. These bonuses get paid into a separate account called
a bonus account, but the total of your cash money balance and the
bonus account will be shown on your overall total balance. In order to
cash out the bonus credits you receive you may need to wager a certain
amount – this is known as bonus wagering requirements.
