Just a few years ago the choice of online gambling sites was relatively small. But now the internet seems almost flooded with options. So how do you know which sites are the best to use, which offer maximum reward for minimum entry and how do you know when the site you’ve logged onto is simply more hassle than its worth?
Here are a few tips for both new and old online gamblers when you sit down at your PC/Smartphone:
Downloading software packages
Many players nowadays don’t want to spend too much time downloading software options before they play. Recent research show that most players access online casino sites for entertainment rather than the financial reward so the instant win type casino site has grown in popularity. This certainly doesn’t mean that there’s anything wrong with downloading software but if you’re just interested in spending a short period of time on a site then opting for the no-download option is probably the best for you. The more experienced and dedicated player may be advised to go through the downloading process to maximise enjoyment.
How do I get my winnings
You’ve done it – you’re astute (or lucky!) play sees you win a cash prize, now how do you get your hands on it? Some sites seem to make it difficult to actually collect your winnings so before you play it may be an idea to check pay out policy initially. Most sites take some time to pay out, this doesn’t necessarily mean there’s anything wrong with the site but for some players it can be rather annoying. The key from a player’s point of view is patience. If you think playing online will earn you money rapidly then you may be sorely disappointed. Online sites are improving all the time in relation to the speed of payments but due to certain legislation it’s not as quick as everyone would like.
Will my computer be able to run the game?
Online gambling companies spend big money to ensure their software is as compatible as possible. In other words the only computers which won’t be able to run games are ones from the IT dark ages! If you’re able to access the internet then the chances are you’ll be able to play any online games. If you’ve any problems seek more information from the casino’s Customer Support department.
Hidden charges
In the US the regulation of the gambling and online gambling industry means the day of hidden charges are thankfully nearing an end. Not so long ago online casino players were charged for their withdrawals. To ensure you’re not stung by such a move read the ‘banking’ or ‘withdrawals’ sections of the site to double check the winnings are all yours!
Now with that additional information go and find the site which most suits you best and remember in the existing climate of market regulation you the player have the power. But make sure you read terms and conditions before hand.
