Today's gaming
industry offers you more options than ever before. Online gaming helps
you get the most out of the entire world of gaming by allowing you to
learn and play for fun online before you play for real at an online or
land-based casino. Read our quick comparison between traditional (land-based)
and online casinos to learn more about the good side of online gaming,
as well as the common gripes:
PROS:
Play from the comfort of your own home for free. Improve your skills at
no cost. Get a sense of real online gaming for nothing.
Once you start playing for real, you have a lot to look forward to. The
online gaming industry consists of many more casinos than the traditional
gambling industry. This means greater competition between the online casinos.
In order to stay ahead of competition, online casinos offer greater bonuses
to both new and existing customers. As a new customer, you can expect
your bankroll to show sign-up bonuses of 10 to 50% of your initial deposit.
As a return customer, you can frequently qualify for random cash giveaways,
vacations and other freebies.
The rules of online casinos tend to be better than those of land-based
casinos.
Contrary to land-based casinos, which involve money and time-consuming
travel, online casinos are just a click away.
Online casinos do not subject you to loud distractions and annoyances
from other players that could affect your performance at the table. With
online gaming, you're in full control of your environment - you choose
whether to drink, smoke, listen to music, recline and cheer!
No additional charges
Nobody urges you to purchase drinks, and you don't have to tip anyone
for his/her services.
CONS:
Unlike the immediate payouts of land-based casinos, receiving your money
from online casinos can take 2 to 4 weeks with credit card pay plans,
or 3 to 5 business days if you use a debit card.
Although the best online casinos offer prompt service via e-mail and a
toll-free, the worst online casinos can delay your payout for longer than
you care to wait.
In the event of a dispute, unless the casino is IGC certified, there is
no direct authority dedicated to listening to your side of the story.
In short, the casino calls the shots.
Managing your expenditures and earnings based on credit/debit card statements
becomes a complicated task when playing in different places. Statements
usually specify the merchant bank rather that the casino in which the
transaction took place.
