How can I fund my account?

Most credit cards are declined if you try to make a deposit at an online casino. This is because most credit card companies will not authorize a charge for online gambling. There are many alternatives, just be sure to read the terms & conditions. Here's the top two:

This is most popular and the top choice. It's very similar to paypal. It's free to transfer to/from your checking account to your neteller account. It's also free to deposit and cashout at online casinos. It does take a few days to transfer though. They have quicker options for a small fee. Safe and secure site. www.neteller.com

Firepay allows you to fund your account with an e-check (electronic check). It costs $2.99, but only takes minutes. It's free to deposit and cashout at poker rooms. Safe and secure site. www.firepay.com

What games are offered at online casinos?

All online casinos offer the basic casinos games you'd find at any land-based casino: slots, video poker, table games (craps, baccarat, blackjack), roulette and keno. In addition, most casinos offer some specialty games like Caribbean Stud, Red Dog, even Casino War and Three Card Poker—but sometimes the names are slightly changed.

What are these bonuses casinos offer?

Most casinos offer some sort of bonus money to new players (and some to re-depositing players.) These bonuses are meant to draw players into the casino! Usually the bonuses are anywhere from 20% to 200%. (For example, if you were depositing a 100% bonus, and you deposited $50, you'd have $100 in your account to play with.) Sounds too good to be true, right? All casinos have different terms and conditions related to their bonuses. They are called playthrough requirements or wagering requirements. Always read these very carefully before you redeem a bonus! For example, a casino that offers a 100% bonus might have a wagering requirement of 10x the deposit + bonus before cashing out. This means that if you deposit $50, get the $50 bonus, you'd have to wager (10x$50) + (10x$50)=$1000 before cashing out. There are many different kinds of bonuses and wagering requirements. You must read the terms and conditions to find out these requirements, which games count towards the playthrough, and so on. That being said, bonuses can be a good way to get lots of play time at a casino. But just remember, you do not HAVE to take the bonus if you do not wish for your money to be locked in at the casino. Even if a bonus is advertised as "credited upon deposit," you can contact customer service before you play and have them remove it, along with any requirements that go along with it.

So how do I get started?

If you want to get started gambling online, we first suggest creating a Neteller or Firepay account. We also recommend using our site to find a casino that meets the criteria you are looking for. (A nice sign up bonus? Low wagering requirements? Fast payouts?) If the casino has the option, download it, and play it for free at first! You get a nice preview of the software, and you can get used to the games before making a deposit. Even contact customer service to make sure they are friendly and helpful.

I want my winnings! Now what?

You will most likely have to be patient! The quickest way to receive your winnings is through Neteller or Firepay. However, most casinos have a "holding" period after you make your withdrawal request. This means they hold your money for usually 24 hours before they process your request. During this time you can choose to reverse your withdrawal, and have the amount credited back to your casino account. Some casinos will send you a PIN number via snail mail, which you will need to make your cashout. This is not a big problem, however, because the PIN number usually arrives a few days after you've made your deposit. Other casinos request that you fax them copies of your drivers license, paycheck stubs, etc, for "security purposes." We do not list any casinos on our website with this policy due to the frustration this creates.

What if I have a problem?

Casinos want your money! They want to keep you happy. Almost all casinos now have 24 hour live chat features where you can talk to someone immediately if there is a problem. If they don't offer live chat, they offer correspondence by e-mail, with incredibly fast response times (5 minutes to a half an hour.) Also, every casino listed on our site offers a telephone number for customer service support.
