Games
Q. How can I choose the game that's right for me?
A. In general, if you want to play a game of strategy, where technique plays a large role in the outcome of the game, you should check out table games like blackjack and poker. Roulette, baccarat and craps involve technique but to a lesser extent since the RESULTS of the game aren't determined by any strategy on the part of the player but the PAYOUT varies based on the gamer's decisions on how s/he will place bets.
Slots are a different story. When you play the slots, all the results are random so there's nothing that you can do to change the results. Slots are a simple game of chance so you can just sit back and enjoy the special features and unique themes that the slot machines deliver.
House Edge
Q. Should I be concerned with the house edge?
A. If you're focusing on how much you're winning, you will want to review the house edges of the various games and choose accordingly. If, however, you simply want a gaming event that will deliver a fun-filled activity, the house edge won't be so important to you.
The House Edge is the mathematical advantage that a casino has over you. It is the built-in "cut" that ensures the house remains profitable over millions of bets, even if individual players walk away with massive jackpots in the short term.
Every game has its own house edge. The house edge is the opposite of the Return to Player percentage – the percentage that the house pays out, on average, in wins on that game. For instance, the RTP percentage for blackjack is 99.5%. That means that out of every $100 bet, $99.50 will be paid out in wins which makes the house edge 0.5%.
Lotteries and slot machines, on the other hand, which are games of pure luck, have house edges of 3% - 6% so the RTP is 94% - 97%. On paper, these rates don't look so different but over time, the difference becomes noticeable when you look at your win rate.
Notably, the new casino Crash Games, which are a type of slot machine, have house edges of only 1% - 2% which lowers the house edge, giving players more chances to score wins on a luck-based game.
Fairness
Q. Can casinos rig games?
A. You can rely on casinos that feature games that were designed by licensed studios to deliver random results. These studios create games that are powered by Random Number Generators (RNG) which use advanced algorithms to ensure that every result of every card deal, dice throw and machine spin is unsystematic. Regulatory agencies run millions of simulations to ensure the actual payout matches the theoretical RTP (Return to Player).
Deposits and Withdrawals
Q. What do you need to know about casino deposits and withdrawals.
A. Before you make a deposit at the casino, review the wagering requirements. Every casino has different wagering requirements that detail how much you must wager to be eligible for bonuses and to start withdrawing your winnings. For instance, if there's a 30x wagering requirement on your claim of a $100 bonus you must bet $3000 in wagers before you can withdraw that bonus money.
Every casino partners with different ebanking institutions which gives you the parameters of how you can place your deposits and withdraw your wins. Most online casinos accept crypto and credit/debit card transfers. Beyond that, each casino partners with additional evoucher, ewallet, wire transfer and echeck services. Check the casino's banking page to find out which banking services the casino supports.
Safety
Q. How do I stay safe when I gamble online?
A. Review your online casino's safety protocols to ensure that the casino is taking all necessary precautions to keep your data safe and secure your online financial transfers. In the future you can expect casinos to move to biometric passkeys and TLS 1.3 encryption.
Players must take their own precautions as well. Never share your casino password with anyone and don't use a password that you use for other sites. Don't click on links that you receive in emails – even if the email seems to come from the casino. If you receive an email with a link, first verify that it's safe by checking your inbox via your casino site. If it's truly an email from the casino, the identical email will be in your casino's inbox.
