A few rules can prevent you from getting caught unawares by bad deals and phoney dealers.

Security means profit

There’s nothing worse than losing money when you shouldn’t. Before you do anything, check how a casino keeps customers’ deposits and winnings. Your casino must be approved by the UK Gambling Commission and should store your deposits securely and separately from company funds. If this is not the case, you will likely lose even when you win.

Bonuses and Free Bets

Most good online casinos will offer excellent incentives for new players. Before diving in to claim every free spin and bet out there, make sure to check whether the game you want qualifies for the offer. It’s also important to read up on any wagering requirements as found in the terms and conditions before you place any bets. If you don’t check these carefully, it’s likely that you’ll lose the bonus.

New Tech

New technology is being developed every day and most good online casinos like to keep up to date. Mobile gambling apps, cryptocurrency and live dealers are just some of the ways in which online casinos make their gaming experience unique. By keeping up with trends through platforms, it’s possible to not only find the most secure and innovative casinos, but to discover new ways to win big.

It doesn’t have to be difficult

Online casinos should be easy. If the interface is impossible to navigate and none of your favourite games are available then it’s not worth the effort. With new platforms springing up each day, you can and will find something better so do not be afraid to make the switch.

]]> A whole new world: How the Internet changed the way we play https://elevated-view.co.uk/a-whole-new-world-how-the-internet-changed-the-way-we-play/ Thu, 19 Jul 2018 12:52:12 +0000 https://elevated-view.co.uk/?p=25 The Internet as we know it has changed significantly since the beginning of this century. It’s only since the early 2000’s that it has surged in mainstream usage, with many of us able to recall the days of the mid-90’s before wireless networks, when we had to deal with clunky phone dial-ups. In fact, the Internet was around long before that, its earliest origins dating back to the first electronic computers developed in the 1950’s. It wasn’t until the early 1990’s that most households got involved and the world truly went global. Meanwhile, the first online casino launched in 1996 under the operation of Microgaming. Initially, growth was slow for the online casino as it was beset by technical issues and slow loading times. In the early days these were considered par for the course, which meant customers put up with its clunky operation much more than they would have the patience for today. This gave the online casino time to develop gradually. From this point, online casino gaming naturally progressed alongside the Internet’s growth, greater loading speeds helping them become ever more popular. In the mid-2000’s we saw another major leap for mainstream Internet usage: smartphones, made available to people on a mass scale. High-speed Internet was no longer confined to your home or the library computer; people could now take it out with them in their pockets. This new novelty would quickly become the norm over the following decade. Unsurprisingly, the online casino industry also began to thrive on mobile, leading to a boom that brought it the sustaining success we observe today. Now, twenty years after the Internet was an awkward novelty, the basics of which many households were still getting to grips with, the development of 4G has made mobile gaming as seamless as it is on desktop computers. It seems that new online casinos are popping up all the time. With a few clicks you can be playing your favourite games in moments, wherever you are.

]]> Pros And Cons Of Mobile Casinos https://elevated-view.co.uk/pros-and-cons-of-mobile-casinos/ Sat, 16 Jun 2018 07:45:27 +0000 https://elevated-view.co.uk/?p=17 At one time online gaming was only available on desktop devices. This made playing very limited for those on the go. Times have changed, and now most of your favourite casinos are available using mobile apps. If you’re always on the go, and like playing a quick game of roulette or blackjack, then mobile casinos are the ideal choice for you. Playing on a small screen may be challenging with tiny print, but it has the advantage of greater privacy. You wouldn’t run the risk of friends or colleagues peering over your shoulder as you would on a desktop computer or laptop. You could also download your mobile casino app onto a tablet. You’d have the benefit of a larger screen while still being able to play when you’re out and about. Joining a mobile casino couldn’t be easier and many give welcome bonuses and free spins. Spend time researching various mobile casinos before deciding which one to sign up with.

Deposit money using your mobile phone bill

Many mobile casinos allow you to deposit money using your mobile phone billing account. You can then pay once a month when you get your mobile phone bill. Many people find this a very easy and convenient way to deposit money. However, you could find yourself going over your monthly allowance unless you’re careful. Most mobile casinos have a much lower limit for deposits and withdrawals. This is a good thing as you won’t be so tempted to overspend. Having the convenience of a phone constantly at your disposal may have it’s disadvantages though. You could end up playing more games than you’d planned. Boredom at work, or college may find you whipping out your phone for a quick spin on the roulette table! Many mobile casino apps can be data hungry. Some of the special effects or videos use a lot of data. The upside though is you won’t see as many ads on a mobile casino as you would on the desktop version. You should also be aware that mobile casino apps have massive file sizes. Always try and download them when you’re connected to your home wifi. Downloading using mobile internet could work out very expensive unless you’re on an all you can eat data plan. If you’re not certain make sure you check first to avoid any unpleasant surprises.
