1: Get to know the casino

A good online casino provides information about it's license, who owns and manages the casino, what are the rules of the games, the financial politics of the casino; and how you can contact casino representatives to get some help in case you need it.
Do your research. Check discussion websites to see how the casino you chose treats its guests. Visit internet websites, like ours, to read the casino`s reviews. Does your casino have a permission from a government agency? How long has it been on the internet? Is it a member of Interactive Council Gaming? Get to know who are you making your business with, before you use your credit card.
The casinos listed on our Network ensure secure transactions, game fairness, and 24-hour customer support.

2: Play for fun
Almost every casino offers a game option for fun ("Play for Free", "Play for Fun"). If a casino does not provide this kind of version, find another one. First thing you need to do in a casino, is to test it by playing for fun. This will help you discover unexpected problems which are a part of online gambling.

3: Demand a sufficient player support
Good online casinos offer free 24/7 information, 365 days a year. Other options for the player are: 24h chat line, local telephone numbers, fax numbers and e-mail addresses. Try out their services and send some questions by e-mail, or enter a chat line and check if there is anyone at all. As a future casino guest you have the right to do it just to see whether there is someone interested in you. Because, when you have a problem you will probably a casino representative to be available and helpful. You need to remember that e-mail address- the basic service that a casino should offer, because their mail box can be full. Besides they may not look through their mail on time, they may not get your e-mail etc.

4: Get to know casino pay options
Most online casinos will credit your card, up to the amount of the deposit from that card. The rest of winnings will be sent by cheque, regular mail; it usually takes 1 to 2 weeks. You can often request a transfer onto your bank account for a fee which is not always that low. We suggest not to play at a casino which charges fee for paying player`s winnings. Why would you have to pay for getting back your own money? A good casino treats its winners (and losers) with respect.

5: Check casino bonuses
Bonuses have become a standard way of attracting and keeping players. These are bonuses for registration and plans of awarding frequent players. It is not important that a good casino will thank its players and will give them little presents and prizes. A casino which does not offer any bonuses is a rarity, and does not deserve any attention.

6: Get to know your game
Internet is the world of computer programes and it means that: the pay, commission, the number of cards in the pack, the number of zeros on a roulette wheel and anything else can be set the way the authors of a programe want it to be. If roulette is your favourite game, why would you play with a double zero if there is also a single one. Some casinos publish their pay chart rules on their internet website. To recognize a casino as a reliable one, those numbers should be checked and certified by a respected accountancy company like Price Waterhouse Coopers.

7: Don`t play with money you can`t afford to lose
Play only with money you can afford to lose, money that is intended to be spent on entertainment.

8: Take your money and run away
Plan when to stop playing. Some players stop when they get 50% of the winnings, others when they double the amount of money they intended to spend on gambling. Other players run away when they lose 20% of their money. Whatever is your style of leaving the game, it is important that you stick to it. Otherwise, you will keep playing until you lose all your money, money you won. Greedy players become great losers.

9: Expect a loss
Casinos do not depend on good luck to stay in business. In every bet that you make in any game that you play, casino wins depending on the rules of a specific game. Players can find and play the games in which casino`s predominance equals 1.5% or less.

10: Enjoy your game
When you intend to gamble on the internet, leave smoke, free drinks, hangers- and all that casino glamour; thus you can do everything to make the best use of it. Light your cigar, put on your favourite cd, prepare something to eat, etc. You are the room supervisor when you play at home so do it well.
