How do I collect my winnings?
Q.: Is online gambling
legal?
A.: In many countries it is. If you are living in an area where
gambling in physical casinos is illegal it is also illegal for you
to play in an online casino. Don't think just because you are not
actually there and play at home, you can cheat your way out of
that. Upon the signup in an online casino the casino will
carefully go through the information you provide and will find out
if the city, state or county you are living in prohibits gambling.
If you are not sure about the law in your area contact the local
authorities.
Q.: Do I have to be an adult
to play?
A.: Yes. You have to be at least 18 or older to play for real
money. If you are not 18 you can always play for fun at most
online casinos.
Q.: How do I choose an
online casino?
A.: There are hundreds of casinos on the internet and there are
opening more and more each day. Inform yourself of the casino you
are about to play in. We gathered all kinds of information from
many different online casinos and selected only the best. Try our

and you will find a wide range of different casinos it is safe to

Q.: Are online casinos
honest?
A.: Generally, Yes. Most legitimate online casinos don't have to
manipulate their games because like in a real casino the house
edge and the players mistakes make them enough profit. Most
casinos constantly test their games on fairness and to find out if
there is something strange going on with the games. Still, there
are some dishonest casinos out there so make sure
security
comes first.
Q.: Do I have to download
software to play?
A.: Not necessarily. Most casinos offer regular online gambling
for games like Black Jack, Poker and Roulette. The only reason why
casinos let you download their software is for better graphics,
sound and animation. In case you don't care if the graphics and
animations are better or not it is recommended you don't download
anything for gambling.
Q.: How do I purchase chips
and get started?
A.: You have to make a deposit to the casino. Most online casinos
accept credit cards, checks, money order, wire transfer or paypal
to get you started. Credit cards used to be the most popular way
to make this deposit because you can start playing right away and
don't have to wait until the casino gets your check in the mail.
These days many people will not be able to successfully use their
credit cards to purchase chips because of stringent laws passed in
some jurisdictions. My personal favorite to use is paypal based on
speed and ease of use. Your winnings will, based on the casino, be
returned to your credit card, your paypal account, or sent to you
by check.
Q.: How do I collect my
winnings?
As explained above most casinos will send you a check for your
winnings within a week. In case you made the deposit with a check
or money order the casino will send you a check for the winnings
and your original deposit, if you want to. If you made your
deposit by credit card the casino will only credit your card up to
the amount you originally deposited and the rest of the winnings
will also be sent to you by mail.
