Introduction

This guide will provide you with all the essential information you need before you start "investing" your money. That's right, your money will be invested, and not gambled.

To begin, you must first understand that these is not for everybody. This is not a "get-rich-tomorrow" scheme. It needs time, patient and of course some money to start. The good news is that there are thousands casinos operating online today, all looking to get a piece of the huge pie that is called online gambling industry. This creates massive competition between online casinos. The bad news is that there are some casinos that can deposit your money and never return you any winnings. Also there are casinos out there that they don't play fair. We will try our best to spot these casinos so that you can avoid them.

First, to get a better idea, have a look at the following table. It compares "offline" and online casinos.

Bonus

We mentioned that there are thousands casinos out there. As a promotional tool, online casinos offer players sign-up bonuses. Please note that there are different kinds of bonus. These kinds are discussed in the Bonus section.

Let's say for example a casino is offering to match a player’s first deposit of £100, giving the player a total of £200. The player can withdraw the £200 but of course not immediately. Before the player can withdraw any amount, the casino will require them to place a certain amount of wagers.This is usually called  wagering requirement (WR). Please note that all bets, both winners and losers, count towards this wager requirement.

Now, pay attention because this is the most important part! Playing Blackjack (BJ) using optimal strategy has a return of around 99.5%. So, let's say you deposit £100 and you play for a while using the correct strategy you will end up with a total of about £90 in the worst case. But don't forget about the £100 bonus. So finally, the player can end with about £180. That's a £80 profit! But  how long will that take? Well, let's assume that the player is playing £5 hands of blackjack. The wagering requirement is 20 times the bonus plus the deposit. That's £4000. So the player will need 800 hands to fullfil the wagering requirements. On average a good player can play 400 hands per hour. So that's about two hours. Two hours for £80, that's not bad at all! And don't forget, there are thousands casinos out there...

While we strive to maintain accurate information in our casino directory, some casino’s change their bonus terms & conditions often. Pay attention whether Blackjack (or video poker at least) is allowed for the wagering requiremnt,check the wagering requirement (WR), the percentage bonus offered, the maximum bonus, what kind of bonus is it, the excluded games, etc. What is stated in the casino’s bonus terms always supersedes what is listed in this website.

Nowadays almost all casinos ban the play of low risk bets on roulette, craps, and baccarat, while clearing the WR. Blackjack (BJ) and Video Poker (VP) are usually the best games allowed, although some casinos even restrict the play of these games.
One last important detail is the wagering requirement. You have to make sure you have completed all the wagering requirements prior to requesting a withdrawal. Most casinos will simply return withdrawals to your casino account if the wager requirements have not been completed. However, there are casinos out there that will remove the bonus and return the rest to your account, and even some that will remove both the bonus and any winnings and pay you only your deposit amount. The best strategy is to always verify that the WR has been completed. Most about the wagering requirements can be found here.

Verification Documents

While the majority of online casinos do not require documentation prior to cashing out, there are a number of casinos that do. Be prepared with a copy of your driver’s license or passport and a copy of a utility bill or bank statement clearly showing your name and billing address. Have these items scanned and saved to your computer, and simply attach them to the email that the casino will send you requesting these documents. If you are using a credit card, have a copy of the front and back of this as well. You need to make sure that the address on both your driver’s license and utility bill matches exactly to the information you used at Neteller and upon registering at the casino.
