I feel like I have a lot to learn when it comes to online casinos. Is there a certain casino you’d recommend I start with? And how much money would you recommend applying to my account right from the start? Point me in the right direction please!

I think its always a personal choice, but one that can still be done wisely. I would tell you the same thing no matter what you are looking for. Research before hand and make sure the place is legit before you think of spending any money.

If you find a site that has a review of the ‘top ten’ I would first check those out, visit each site to see if its something that works for you or not. Charlie is right it is a personal choice, for some of us we can play anywhere and for those hidden gamblers out there who can only play when on vacation (in another country where its legal) its not nearly as much of an issue choosing.

A professional gambler who is a friend of mine told me that beginners play their first online casino at CoolCat casino. The site offers a $250 bonus for a deposit of only $150 and also offers really competitive bonus programs and free games that you can play without any charge.

Thank you for the help. I’ve seen so many sites and I’m trying to narrow it down to a handful at least. I’m going to check into the one lycra5 mentioned. $150 is more than I have right now but maybe in the next few weeks.

If you’re completely new to it then I would see about playing first at a site that allows you to play for free. Hone your skills with no money involved before you think about putting money at risk.

There is a huge list of no deposit online casino bonuses and free play offers at http://www.ranked-online-casinos.com/

Surely there are several offers which you have yet to try. Some are general free chip offers, some are free spins, and others are other free play type offers. Good luck and happy bonus hunting!

Bodog.com, a favourite site for online poker players, launched an innovative concept in the shape of its Beginner Tournaments this week. The site launched a special tourney program designed to get new players started on successful tournament play.
For a newbie looking to enjoy the excitement of tournament poker it can be a daunting task to make it into the money. The process can also mean a steady bleed on the poker bankroll.

Before you play at any Online Casino Site, whether it is targeted to the UK Player or the International market, make sure you are informed and know full details of the online casino that you choose to become a player at. Also be sure to follow these handy tips:

Check the jurisdiction where the online casino is registered in. If it is in a known reputable country such as Canada or Gibraltar. Then you know that the online casino in question has had to fulfil many stringent requirements before it was granted a gaming licence.

Find out who provides the software. If it is in-house, go with the point above. A reputable provider of online casino and online poker software will not want to be associated with anything less than a whiter than white casino.

Lastly check out the special offers from us. We only link up with reputable online casinos and online poker rooms. We are privileged to be able to provide some fantastic sign up offers in the way of many free chips when joining as a real player. You can be 100% sure that you will be gaming in a safe, reliable, trusted environment.
