Do I need a high-speed internet connection to play?
A high-speed internet connection is not necessary to play the games. A high-speed internet connection is helpful when downloading the casino software. If you have a slow internet connection, flash/no download casinos are for you. With them you do not need to download any casino software.

How do I deposit money with the casino?
Go to our How to Deposit Money Into Online Casinos page for further instruction, but basically you will need to sign up with Neteller, or some other third party billing company, and deposit money into that account. From that account you will be able to deposit money into the online casino of your choice.

Do I need a credit-card to gamble at an online casino?
Casinos allow credit card transactions to take place, however most credit card companies do not allow transactions that they think may have an intended use for online gambling. That is why you must sign up at Neteller and use them as a third party billing company. See previous question.

When I signup online, do they ask for personal information such as name, address, phone, etc?
Every casino you sign up with will ask for personal information. If you want to play just for fun, you do not need to give out any personal information, you can 'fake' the information and you will still be able to play at that casino.
If, on the other hand, you want to play for real money, you must give the casino all real personal information. The reason you must give them this information is because in order for you to get paid any real winnings from a casino they will ask for an I.D. If you provide them with an I.D. that does not match the personal information you originally gave them, they will not give you your money. This is for your safety. In order to deposit and withdraw real money from a gambling site it only makes sense that they have your personal info.

How do I find the best casino signup bonuses?
You must be very careful before signing up for a casino because of the bonus they offer. An offer that seems to good to be true probably has a whole lot of terms that you most likely will never meet. That is why we have created several pages to lead you to the best bonuses on the internet.

I've heard the odds of winning in an online casino are better than in a real casino, is this true?
Yes, this is true. In order for a land casino to keep you at their casino they give you drinks, they give you entertainment, they let you socialize, walk around, explore, drink, sleep there, wake up and start all over again. Online casinos do not have these attractions so they must have other ways of keeping you at their casino. What they do to accomplish that goal is let you win more.
At a land based casino each slot machine is typically set to payout 88% of every dollar that is spent. That means that a casino makes .12¢ on every $1. At an online casino the machines are typically set to payout 95% of every dollar. The machines are measured on a monthly basis and sometimes, for some casinos, the payout rate for slot machines can near 100%.

How do I know if an online casino is legitimate?
There are many ways we can tell you how to check if a site is legitimate. Check and see if they are audited monthly, check to see if they are registered in a regulated jurisdiction, look for the eCogra symbol to see if they happened to be approved by that strict watchdog of a company. However, we simply suggest you stick to the casinos we review on this website. We have tested and played at the casinos we feature for years and we personally know many of the pitbosses who run these sites. The majority of them are publicly traded companies and if they were shady in any way they could be held responsible on federal terms.

If I win, how long does it take to be paid-out?
This depends on many factors. Which casino are you playing at? At Microgaming Casinos they have an option for instant payments which is exactly what it sounds like, you will get paid the instant you click the button. If a site does not have an instant payment method it can range anywhere from 2 days to 2 weeks. Normally, the sites that payout in 2 weeks are not worse, they just take more security measures to be sure their was no fraudulent activity. In cases where large sums of money are won, the casino may ask for additional forms of I.D. which may prolong the process of receiving your winnings. All that said, the average casino pays out winnings in less then 4 days.

What happens if my internet connection fails during a game?
It depends what game you are playing. If you are playing a slot game and you already clicked the spin button and your connection is lost, when you return the result of that game will show in your balance and most casinos have a history button where you can check the play and see what happened in that game. If you are playing a table game it depends what stage of the game you are in, you must see the rules of each casino as each casino differs in how they handle situations like this.
