Casino Clue Number 1 – Shop around for Bonus Offers

casino games poker gamesHello! I know you have all been waiting for my first casino clue, so here it is! I want to talk to you about online casino bonus offers, about what they are and why you should not just care about them, but go out searching for them. You’ve seen it on a casino website where there is a welcome offer when you register, or a bonus on your first deposit. Well, these offers are very important once you start playing for real, and if you continue to play you will find more and more bonuses coming your way.

If you are completely new to the world of casinos, then I hope this will shed a little light onto what bonus offers are. I made this my first casino clue because it should be the first thing that you should look out for before you play. You can basically put all the offers into two camps: the sign up bonus, and the loyalty bonuses. A sign up bonus you can only receive once for each casino site, and it will usually be huge! Because of their importance, you should really do your research! Some sign up bonuses require you to only register, where you will then receive a lump some to play with. For other bonuses the casino will match your first deposit at a certain percentage up to a certain amount. Loyalty bonuses are also important if you are a regular visitor to the site. These bonuses will sometimes give you a percentage of every deposit you place, or free plays and free spins!

Bonus offers vary a lot from casino to casino, so it’s best to shop around for them and compare all the main differences. Wagering requirements are the biggest factor, and a lot of people don’t know about them. It is basically how many times you have to play through your bonus until you can withdraw it, meaning, for some, you may never be able to! Also, you should keep your eyes peeled for the bonus validity, which is basically how long your bonus is valid for. The less time you have, the less chance you have of playing through the bonus. The amount of different types of offers, and things to look out for, can be really overwhelming! The best and most helpful thing I found was to compare online casino offers using sites like bestcasinobonuses.co.uk. There you can find all the information about bonuses for the top casino sites, so its a hundred times easier than doing it yourself!

I have used a number of bonuses before, with my personal favourite being BetWay’s. It is really worth your time leafing through casino websites and offers to find the best ones that give you the most money and fun! I hope this post has helped point you in the right direction when it comes to casino bonus offers, and I hope it will help in finding the offers that suit you!

Back to Basics – Introduction to Online Casinos

poker caisonoI started playing casino games three years ago, and while I still love gambling in person, I have to say online gaming has taken over a little bit! There are a lot of major online casinos in the UK, such as Mr Green, Betfair, Betway, Gala, and many others. These are my favourites, with my absolute favourite being Betfair. But, I don’t want to go into too much detail about these different sites, that can be a post for another day. Today, I want to go back to basics and explain to the people out there who do not play online games what they are and why we play them, and why you should too.

What is an online casino? Imagine sitting around a table in a casino with several other players, betting real or fake and with all the excitement of the real deal, except you are sat at home on your computer. Essentially, online casinos are internet based arenas where people from all over the world can play games virtually. It means that you do not have to venture far from your home to experience the thrill of gambling. This is perfect for me, especially as I often work long hours in the day, and so I don’t really have time to go to a casino.

What games can I play online? Before I begin to explain which games you can play online, I should say that it is best if you begin playing with fake money. This is usually free and is also really fun, but most of all it means that you can get to learn more about the games and your favourite online casinos before you start betting your hard earned cash. On all of the sites I mentioned you can play traditional games like craps, roulette, slot machines, and poker. Alongside the classics, these sites will have new games you can play too. The games are divided into four sections, including table games like blackjack, slot games, arcade games, and mobile games, which brings me nicely onto my next point.

Can I play on my mobile? A resounding yes! I often play on my mobile, and sometimes I prefer it. Games are often downloadable, and casino sites usually have an app too. For me, mobile games are perfect for when I am on the move. However, there are some drawbacks, including a more limited selection of games, possibly slower speeds, and also shortcomings with the graphics and overall experience. These are relatively minor differences, and so I would still recommend mobile games if you are busy like me, and find yourself on the train or the bus with nothing to do.

So, there you go, a very brief summary of all things to do with online casinos. I hope you enjoyed reading, and I also hope that this information will guide you well into the world of online casinos.

Welcome to my new friendly casino blog!

las vegas casinoHello and welcome to my new casino blog! This is something that I have been wanting to do for many years, and now it’s finally here. Like many of you that have found this blog, I also love casinos. I love the thrill of winning (I say that as if it happens a lot), but also I love the whole casino adventure. I would say I am fairly experienced now, as I have been playing online for over three years. But, I understand that for me, its more about having fun than anything else. Hence the name of this blog…

Playing at Casino Ninety Nine was the first experience I ever had of gambling, and I believe that this small club in the northern part of California really captures all the best parts of being a casino lover. The place is friendly and fun, and prides itself on making you feel comfortable, no matter your skill level…thank God! It also has a great bar, great food, and felt really local, even though I live in the UK. I went to Casino Ninety Nine in 2012 while I was on holiday in the states with my friends, and I would thoroughly recommend visiting it if you go too.

So, it was Casino Ninety Nine that sparked my love for casinos, and now I want to share my passion for friendly gaming, and also what I have learnt in these three years playing on and offline. Ninety Nine Casino Clues is the one stop shop for casino news, thoughts and clues. You will be able to find news about anything from different clubs to competitions, my thoughts about various online games, and also some exciting clues!
