Wagering requirements were brought into place shortly after casinos started giving bonuses. This is because it was very easy for players to take advantage of the system.

Play whatever you’re familiar with until you feel comfortable, and utilize the free play option many casinos have!

There isn’t one singular game that remains more popular than others, but a lot of players enjoy playing blackjack, poker, baccarat and craps. If you’re looking for something a little more fast-paced we recommend trying roulette and online slots! You’re bound to enjoy them all.
How do online casino games differ from land-based casino games?
Luckily, not much at all. Online casinos have done an amazing job transitioning land-based casino games, online. The only difference is that you can sit at home on your coach instead of having to venture out to the casino, but you still reap all the same (if not more) benefits.

Safety & Security FAQs

Technical Issue FAQs

The best thing to do in this situation is reach out to customer service if it is a site issue. Be sure to check your internet connection and reception, as that’s what could be causing your issues.
What happens if I lose connection while I am playing?
The casinos gaming server should restore your credit balance with your bet outcome if the server resolves the bet during the loss of your connection. If it does not resolve the bet, it will show the unfinished bet next time you’re playing. If stats are not reflected the way they should be when connection is regained, contact customer service.
Why do the slot wheels or roulette ball keep spinning, or cards not flip over during a hand?
This is likely due to your internet connection and is quite an easy fix. All you have to do is close out the window and when you re-open, things should reset to the way they were before. If this issue persists, contact customer service.
