Essential Recommendations On Gambling

February 17th, 2008

Introduction

With so many online casino guide (sites) available on the internet, and with competition so fierce in the gambling industry, it is only natural that these sites will do all that they can to get new players to try out their games and software. Online casinos cannot hand out comps in the form of free accommodation and meals as traditional casinos can, but they can certainly reward newcomers in the form of free money into their accounts.

The most generous form of bonus available through online casinos is undoubtedly the welcome (or sign up) bonus. These are particularly attractive and, if players know how to use them to their advantage, extremely profitable in the long run. Sign up bonuses are usually given to players who deposit a minimum amount of money into their newly opened accounts (usually starting at $50-$100). These bonuses guarantee to match the amount by a certain percentage, so that - for example - a $100 minimum deposit with a 100% welcome bonus will give you a $200 initial bankroll at the online casino.

All sign up bonuses come with certain restrictions and many of them require that players wager a certain amount of money before they can withdraw the casino bonus. This is called a wager requirement (WR). In most cases, the player will need to wager at least 10 times the amount of the initial deposit plus the bonus. It is important to note that all bets at the online casino - whether you win or lose - count towards the wager requirement.

How to Make the Most of your Sign up Bonuses

1. Payment Options

Choose a good, easy deposit system to transfer your money into your online casino account and to withdraw your winnings. Your choice should be based on what works for you as a gambler and could include anything from credit card, prepaid Visa and electronic banking services. Remember, too, that many of these options offer you extra bonuses as an incentive to use their services. Check your online casino to see whether you qualify for these additional bonuses.

2. Shop Around for Good Bonuses

It is definitely a buyer's market out there, when it comes to choosing online casinos. Look out for casinos that offer great welcome bonuses with excellent terms so that you can benefit to the maximum. Find online casinos whose bonuses offer low wager requirements, offer high percentages and also allow certain games to qualify in the bonus offers.

3. Low House Advantage Games

Many online casinos exclude certain games from their bonus offers simply because these games have low house advantages and the casinos run the risk of losing out in the long run. Games such as roulette, baccarat and craps are usually among the low risk games that are excluded. Players should shop around for sites that offer games such as blackjack (which is also sometimes excluded), which have low risk and can thus increase the value of the bonus.

4. Terms and Conditions

It is very important to read the terms and conditions of all bonuses and special offers before you sign up for them. Some online casinos change their information almost daily and it is imperative that you make sure that the conditions apply on the day that you register. Read the small print and make sure that you understand everything that is written. If in doubt, contact the customer service department of the online casino for clarification. Look out for things such as the wager requirements, maximum bonuses, excluded games, the exact percentage of the bonus being offered and whether the bonuses are cashable or sticky.

5. Learn your Bonuses

Make sure that you know how to differentiate between cashable, sticky type I and sticky type II bonuses. If not, you might find yourself unable to benefit from a particular bonus even though you have completed all the wagering requirements.

6. Beware of Blacklisted Casinos

Make sure that your money is invested safely in online casinos that are trustworthy and reputable. Look out for blacklisted casinos that have a bad name in paying out bonuses - you will want to avoid theses sites at all costs.

7. Ensure that you Meet all Wagering Requirements

While we have stated before that it is imperative that you are aware of the wagering requirements before you begin playing with a bonus, it is just as important to check that you have met all of these requirements before you withdraw your money from your account. Unfortunately, in extreme cases, there are online casinos that will only allow you to withdraw your initial deposit (minus the bonus and any winnings) if you request to remove the money before you have met the wagering requirements. It is important to keep track of your playing to ensure that you are not requesting an early withdrawal. This can be done in a number of ways, including a simple Excel spreadsheet that will show you where you have gambled, how much you have spent and how much you have won. (This is also good for tax purposes).

8. Keep Documentation Handy

When you are ready to cash out your bonus (and you have ensured that you meet the wager requirements), you might be asked to provide proof of identity. It is a good idea to have this information handy by scanning utility bills, driver's licenses, the front and back of your credit card, etc. onto your computer to have ready when and if you are asked to provide it by the online casino.

A Good Gambling Sign-Up Bonus Strategy

Players can easily make around $35-$40 an hour by playing blackjack at online casinos using generous welcome bonuses. This is a good way to start out with a small bankroll (approximately $100) and build it up with a great game. Blackjack is a game with a very low house advantage (0.5%) and players are therefore able to make a nice profit in the long run.

1. Look out for online casinos that offer non-sticky bonuses (ie. when you are allowed you to cash out your bonus, winnings and initial deposit after you have reached the wager requirement).

2. Start off with a $100 bankroll and a good knowledge of the game of blackjack. Print out blackjack strategies and learn how to apply them.

3. Find online casinos that offer $100 in bonus money on your initial deposit of $100. You now have $200 to play blackjack.

4. Assuming that the wagering requirement is eight times the deposit and bonus, you will need to bet $1600 before you are able to cash out.

5. Bet the minimum wager of $1 (and not more) until you reach the sum of $1600.

6. When you look at the overall picture, your chances of coming out with a profit are almost guaranteed and this is your safest route. This strategy allows you go from casino to casino and build up your bankroll safely.

7. Wait a day before requesting to cash out your money because some online casino systems require 24 hours to catch up.

8. Now seek out casinos with $200 deposit requirements with a 100% match bonus.

9. In most cases you will need to wager approximately 20 times the bonus amount (ie. $4000).

10. You should use the same strategy as above and wager the minimum amount until you meet the wagering requirement.

11. Look out for sites that offer fast software to make the most of your time.

12. The bottom line with this strategy is that with an initial deposit of $100, you could be able to bring in $1500-$2500 profit in the long run. The added advantage is that you have, by now, established accounts with several good online casinos and you can always go back and enjoy great monthly bonuses through them.

13. Betting the minimum amount should mean that you make money; although betting more increases the risk but also the chance to make more money.

Kinds of Web Casino Promotions

February 12th, 2008

To involve new customers in and keep hold of the constant customers, internet gambling institutions should do more than just good game conditions. This is the spring of the encouragements and incentives.

The promotion most frequently used to lure new gamblers is the equal bonus. The quantity of encouragement can run up to the quantity of incipient stake the gambler will start playing with. In some casinos the bonuces can be granted as ready money, which means that the player will be suggested to have $100 upon the deposit of $100. The promotions are really identical just with diverse names. That sort of deposit promotion usually continues being offered to the regular player as a monthly promotion or can be offered if player uses a precise payment method.

As casinos need to involve new players, they offer some bonuses to people for involving their friends. That method is very commonly used by many web casinos, moreover, that job is not being done by the gambling institution, but by it's players. This bonus can much diversify in size but always asks for a factual sign-up by the player's friend for him to get the bonus. At times you can take very particular promotions. Such kinds of promotions are often presented as a prize for winning different tournament taking place in the online casino and they are ordinarily time confined.

Cashing out your Encouragement

While internet casinos bonuses might come across as 'cash in hand', it is truly not that easy. Most online casinos establish a set amount of wagering you have to do before you will be able to cash out any of the encouragement amount. Even so, most internet casinos experience fraud by less fair players and this results in some countries being prohibited to use the encouragement system at some establishments. There are many different games gambler can come across in web casino, so the amount of the minimal stake modifies a lot. You will find that many web casinos give clear information on the conditions for their promotions or on the online casino reviews and you have to take the time to have familiarized yourself with it before you count your money.

Essential Advice On Slot Machines For Gamblers

February 10th, 2008

Gambling Strategies

Most people look at the vast array of slot machines at the casino and think they are all alike. They see a handle, coin slot and flashing lights and figure one is as good as another. What they are missing is a lot of valuable information that can help determine if and how they play a certain slot machine. Not all machines are the same and the way to separate one machine from another is to learn how to “Read” a machine by looking at the pay out schedule on the front. Let's take a look a typical slot machine and see what information can be found.

First of all you will find the denomination of the coin needed to play that machine. I don't know how many times I have seen a person drop a quarter into a machine only to get a confused look when the coin drops through and back into the tray.

Upon closer observation they discover that they tried to put a quarter in a dollar machine. This is the first thing you should look for. There are several types of machines that you need to be aware of:

Multiplier: This machine has a pay out for a certain symbol and the number of coins played multiplies it. If the machine pays 5 coins for three lemons when you play one coin, it would pay 10 for the second coin and 15 for three coins played. This machine does not penalize you for not playing maximum coins. If you plan to play only one coin at a time, this is the type of machine you should look for.

Bonus Multiplier: This machine operates the same as the multiplier except that it offers a bonus when you play maximum coins and hit the jackpot. Three 7's may pay 1,000 for one coin, 2,000 for two coins and 10,000 for maximum coins. You need to decide if the bonus is worth playing the extra coin.

Multiple Payline: These machines have more than one line of play. Each coin activates a particular line. If you hit a winner on a line that is not activated, you will not receive anything. The older machines used to have three lines but the newer video slots can have up to nine lines.

Buy-a-Pay: These are the most misunderstood machines in the casino. Each coin activates a different pay out. You need the maximum coins to receive the largest jackpot. One example is the “Sizzlin 7's” machines. The machine will pay on cherries, bars and sevens. The sevens pay 1,000 coins. If you play one coin you can collect only on the cherries. If you play two coins you can collect on cherries and bars. You need three coins in to collect on the Sizzlin 7's. If you hit the jackpot with one coin in YOU WILL NOT WIN ANYTHING!!! Do not play this machine under any circumstances unless you are playing the maximum coins.

Progressive Slots: The progressive slots take a certain percentage of the money played and add it to a pool for the top jackpot. “Megabucks” or “Quarter Mania” are examples of machines from several casinos linked together to offer a life changing jackpot. Keep in mind that the percentage of the payback on the lesser wins is lowered to allow for the big prize. Some casinos have machines linked together within their own casino to offer mini-progressive jackpots. NEVER PLAY A PROGRESSIVE WITH LESS THAN MAXMIMUM COINS!! There is a story circulating that a lady hit the “Megabucks” when the jackpot was 20 million but because she only had one coin in she collected only $5,000. While this is an Urban Legend there are other cases of people losing out on lesser progressive jackpots because of short coin play.

Gambling

All of the slot machines have the information you need posted on the front. Before you sit down to play, take a minute to “Read” the machine. This will make you a knowledgeable player and help you determine which machine is best suited for you.

The Difference between Online Gambling and Online Trading.

December 1st, 2007

Who's the Bad Guy?

As the US Illegal Internet Gambling Act is broadcasting the news with stories of money and the WWW, men wonder what the actual difference between online gaming and internet commerce is.

Imagine two people hanging in their agencies both of them risk their money on Internet, while one of them is breaking the legislative norms, at the same time the other one is not. One of these businessmen is a day dealer, and with no respect to how you take that fact, that man is risking his money for the chance to get back more money. It seems to me that both men are using the Internet for one and the same reason. On the other hand, the person gambling online is at present participating in a dishonest industry. Why illegitimate? For the reason that Government of the USA doesn't get a single cent of the revenues from the the army of online gamblers. The Government only gets tax money from the day online trader.

Every day residents of America lose immense sums of money on dealing with security papers, that are not located in Wall Street business centers, but from their sitting rooms. Those normal people are not high-class stock brokers, and they do not obtain any license - in spite of all this they have no legal barriers to risk their funds and get immense profits.

As a matter of fact, the one single actual differing feature between day trading and online gambling is the the scale of investments the US Government receives from the businesses: E-commerce = lots of money; Gambling on Internet = not a cent and lots of new casino bonuses for gamblers. It is said that the US Congress passed the anti-online gambling ban exactly for the abovementioned reason that the country is loose all the possible profits daily.
