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.

5 Reasons Why You Should Get a Drone https://elevated-view.co.uk/5-reasons-why-you-should-get-a-drone/ Wed, 21 Mar 2018 15:25:37 +0000 https://elevated-view.co.uk/?p=10 If you’ve ever dabbled in photography, you’ll know how difficult it can be to get the perfect shot. There’s the direction and quality of the light to consider, exposure, shutter speed, perspective, along with a thousand other little things that many of us take for granted. But, whether you’re an amateur or a pro looking for that elusive photograph, here’s why purchasing a drone can bring it one step closer:

1. They’re affordable

Though drones have only been around for a couple of years, many perfectly adequate models are not as expensive as you may think. Prices are naturally affected by the quality of the camera the drone carries on-board and the lateness of the model; however the discerning photographer will have no difficulty finding a great drone to fit his budget.

2. They’re easy to use

Many drone sellers advertise heavily the ease of flying a drone – and they are certainly right to do so. All you have to do is download the app on the smartphone, charge the battery and you’re good to go! It’s advisable to practise flying in a wide, open space such as a park or field before concentrating on photography, though. Also, remember to always be mindful of the drone’s proximity to objects.

3. They can fit in small spaces

Remember the days of lugging around bulky equipment and contorting into strange positions in an attempt to get the right angle? Gone! The drone’s small size means that it can fit into tight spaces, enabling you to shoot from an altogether unique perspective.

4. They’re safe

Ever wondered how photographers took aerial shots in the past? Cameras would be strapped to the underside of helicopters and other aircraft; photographers would risk their lives clambering up to delirious heights; even birds sometimes found themselves the reluctant bearers of a camera! The introduction of drones now means that you can capture stunning shots whilst keeping both feet firmly on the ground.

5. They take stunning pictures

The main reason you’re getting the drone in the first place – to capture amazing, breath-taking pictures from an angle that has previously seemed impossible.
