Your First Steps at an Online Casino

Read the Terms and Conditions

Typically, these are general rules regarding specific aspects (e.g., receiving and wagering or participating in tournaments). You need to review all the rules published on the casino's website. If you do not understand any paragraph, do not be afraid to ask for an explanation from the support service.

If the rules are unclear or the English version has many errors, and support does not want to or cannot give you an answer, look for another casino. What if the rules of online casinos do not say that, too?

And another comic wisdom with a fair amount of truth is:

The smaller the font of the rules, the more carefully you need to read this passage.

Now, let's discuss some of the issues that many beginners often overlook or misunderstand.

Claim Profitable Bonuses Only

Casino bonuses are not only used as a marketing tool but are also aggressively offered. You must understand that not all rewards are advantageous for a player. Instead, almost all of them are unprofitable when considering wagering conditions. Feel free to give them up if you no longer need them. Please note that bonus conditions may vary for players in other countries.

If you got a bonus before the wagering, do not bet in games where it is impossible to clear the bonus. Some casinos do not count those bets in the wager, while others immediately void your bonus or even treat you as a cheater (with all the consequences).

Please read the articles on Casinoz dedicated to bonuses, their wagering requirements, and other related topics. The valuable information on this topic is also in the FAQ. You should understand all terms and conventions.

Ensure You Are Allowed to Play at the Casino

Many online casinos do not allow betting with real money or even refuse to serve residents of the U.S., Russia, Ukraine, Latvia, Eastern Europe, Canada, Denmark, and other countries. There may be a situation where you make a deposit and encounter problems. U.S. citizens should be careful because some casinos allow them to play but do not pay the prize.

If your age is from eighteen to twenty-one, scroll to the rules, which refer to the age of players. If there is no precise age statement, contact support for an explanation.

Check the Banking Rules

Before playing in the casino, beginners should read the rules of gaming accounts and withdrawing funds.

First, you need to specify the currency you can play in. The casino accepts deposits in ten different currencies, but this does not mean that all of them are good for you. For example, if you live in Russia, you are unlikely to make deposits in British pounds. You can ask the support team about the exact rules for replenishing the account, which may not be in dollars, euros, or your country's currency.

Usually, casinos set the maximum amount for withdrawal in a week or a month. Make sure that you are satisfied with these restrictions. After all, if you play at big bets, you are unlikely to want to play on less than two or three thousand dollars a week.

Some casinos do not allow you to withdraw money until you make another deposit. In this way, they make you play until you lose at least some funds. Of course, it is better to refuse the services of such a casino.

Find out what documents you need to provide to withdraw your winning for the first time. Usually, this is a copy you may want to send by fax. This procedure can be pretty complicated, but do not rush to become upset. Such measures apply only to new players at the casino.

Do Not Forget about Safety

Keep registration data confidential. Create a separate e-mail address for every casino you play in. This will save your primary mailboxes from spam, and you will likely be aware if a casino has shared your address with third parties.

Try not to play on other people's computers (especially those used by many people). Casinos cannot ensure the security of your data and finances if you do not take all necessary precautions.

Do Not Play at Unreliable Casinos for Real Money

Detecting fraudulent casinos may seem complicated for beginners. Still, it is better to be guided by a single principle: if you have any doubt, look for another casino. We described in detail how to identify fraudulent casinos, so we will only briefly repeat the tips:

• Data on the founders and licensing authorities for the casino must be available on the website. There should also be a link to the site authority that issued the permit documentation.
• A reputable manufacturer should provide the software that runs the casino.
• Casino operations should be controlled by the authority that issued the license and independent auditors (TST, eCOGRA, and others).
• Read reviews about casinos in trustworthy media. If you find it difficult to choose, pay attention to those in the top ten casinos among the readers of Casinoz.

We hope these recommendations will help you avoid the common mistakes that beginners often make. And remember, you do not need to undergo training in the casino, but you must clarify any obscure points of the rules with the support staff. Otherwise, this casino is neither reliable nor respectable.
