How to Get the Best Experience While Playing Online Casino Games

by Jason Smith

Online casino games are the perfect combination of excitement and fun, both a perfect way to avoid boredom and an adrenaline-fuelled way to win some cash (if you’re lucky, of course). But if you are brand new to the world of online casinos, or a seasoned professional who wants to take their experience up a notch, then there are a few steps you can take to get the best experience for your play. 

Before we get into that, it is important to understand just what online casinos are – and to really get to know them, we need to know where they came from. 

The Quick Online Casino History

Online casino games have been around for basically as long as the internet has. The very early days of the World Wide Web saw slow uptake on this new-fangled technology, but it wasn’t long before everyone had at least one computer capable of surfing the web in their homes. Of course, entertainment through gaming was quite the priority for many early adopters of this technology, and it was the relatively tiny Isle of Man outfit Microgaming that was the first to launch an online casino of sorts. Less than 20 games, but in 1994 there wasn’t all the graphics and technology that we know and love. 

In 1996, there were a total of 15 casino gaming websites. By the next year, there were 200. This exponential growth came in part because of the availability of technology, but also the huge swathe of gamers who were interested in being able to take their favourite games out of the physical casino and play them at home instead. 

By 2001, it was estimated that 8 million people had participated in online gaming – which is a high number considering that since its inception, online casino gaming had come under legal scrutiny with challenges left right and centre about the safety and morality of the provision. In the UK, 2005 saw the creation of the Gambling Commission under the Gambling Act, and regulation and licensing meant that not only were online casino sites required to rove they were safe and fair, but they could also provide an income stream for the government through fees and taxation. 

Today, if you do a quick internet search for online casinos, you will be overwhelmed by the sheer scope of options – which means it has never been a better time to get involved. 

The Best Experience in Online Casinos

Choose the Right Casino

You want to play the best games, but you also want to be sure that your personal and financial information is safe. You also want to be assured that the games you are playing are provably fair – otherwise you might as well try your hand at the stalls at the local carnival. 

This can be achieved by ensuring that the online casino you choose is licensed and regulated for players in your country – in the UK, which is through the Gambling Commission. 

Bonuses

All online casinos want to draw in new players, and they will often offer bonuses to sweeten the pot. Look out for free bets, free spins, or deposit matching – all great ways to get started in a new casino. 

Choose the Right Games

You might already know your way around the poker table but need some work on your blackjack game, or you might be a die-hard slots player. Either way, make sure that the casino you choose has a wide variety of games so you can try something new if you want to. Probably best to start with something you know and understand to begin with, however. 

Try Something New

There are new innovations in online casinos almost every day, so you will have a chance to try something new. Whether that is a new type of poker, a new game mode on the slots, or even getting into a live poker game, trying something new will keep it feeling fresh and exciting. 

Learn as You Play

Online casinos are a great place to play if you want to learn a new game. Not only can you access help directly from the interface, but you can also often try a game for free without putting any of you cash at risk, which means you can get a handle on it. This is also a great way to work out your favourite strategy too. 

Watch Your Bankroll

When you are making your deposit, always use money that you are happy to lose. This means that no matter how your luck is, you won’t be risking your rent on some online games – and you will be able to afford to have fun. Don’t ever bet more than you can afford. 

Have Fun

In the same vein, remember that online casino gaming is meant to be fun and exciting – so if at any point you are not enjoying yourself, you are chasing your losses, or are feeling stressed about playing, you should stop. You can always come back and play again in the future.
