Online casinos are among the most played recreational activities for many individuals. From the 22 year old secretary, to the 60 year old CEO, all the way up to the 80 year old Miami pensioner... people from all walks of life enjoy playing in online casinos.
Obviously, it's much more immediate to play in an online casino, rather than going out to Las Vegas, paying for a hotel room, and eat in the restaurant. While it's certainly something that must be tried sooner or later, the online casinos boast loads of advantages over their brick and mortar counterparts.
Aside from not being as expensive, they are also far more convenient. Simply download casino software onto your computer, and voilà...! Virtual Vegas is right there on your PC. All online casinos tend to present just about every one of your favourite casino games, and this gives you practically have an endless supply of online gambling fun... without the expensive $20 cocktails.
Here are a few considerations you should be aware of, however, if you are keen to play in online casinos. The two most important ones are the casino welcome bonus, and the cash-out conditions.
Online casinos are study many strategies in order to find new players to download their desktop client - that's how they make their living! Thus, they pile on the welcome bonuses, to get you started gambling in their casino. Usually, you'll find casino welcome bonuses in the hundreds of dollars, if not even as high as $20,000. But a word of caution here: not all that glitters in Vegas (virtual, or otherwise) is gold, mind you.
The bigger the welcome bonus amount, the much higher and stringent the requirements will be to cash out your winnings. When you play with a welcome bonus of $20,000, you're not going to be able to cash out the 20k with just a $10 deposit. Any casino would go bust (if you'll pardon the pun), and The Good Samaritan Foundation would be up against its toughest competition, in terms of freebie help!
It goes without saying, not only will you need to win at least the $20,000 in prize money to even be eligible to cash out, but generally you will also have to make quite a few deposits to be awarded such a welcome bonus. Theres a casino we know of that offers its players $12,500 as a welcome bonus. When you read between the lines, you find out you're required make 15 deposits of $100 first, to receive the bonus. Only then will you be eligible for the welcome bonus.
Also, be aware that most casinos won't let you withdraw more than a certain amount of money per week. If you've won a $60,000 grand prize in online poker, for example, and you've met or exceeded your deposit requirements, you may be eligible to withdraw no more than $3,000 per week. Naturally, you aren't going to forfeit your money, but it takes away the joy of paying for that new Mercedes in cash. In this aspect, real Vegas has an Ace up its sleeve over virtual Vegas.
Playing in online casinos can be a fun, different way to try something different ... and why not, even make some money. But familiarise yourself with the deposit "fine print" of the casinos you are playing with, so you won't have any surprises!
