<div style="text-align: justify;">
Poker has now started dominating the online gaming industry, offering
round-the-clock poker tournaments. All that is required for online
poker is a computer with Internet connection. An online poker room is
actually a company that allows players to use its software to
participate in the poker game. Online poker rooms generally make profit
by incurring a percent of money from most of the played pot, known as
rake. In real, rakes range between 5 and 20%. But, online poker rooms
charge only 5% as rake, since the overhead expenses are low.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Before
selecting an online poker room, it is vital to check whether its
connections are protected by a reliable Internet security firm. Another
requirement for online poker room is a license from a trusted gaming
commission. The next is to check whether the poker room offers unique
features like multi-table features, personalization features, and
operating system compatibility. Player traffic also plays an important
role in online poker rooms. The larger the traffic, the more games you
can participate in and the more players you may win or lose against.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In
addition, the level of bonuses and promotions of online poker rooms
must be checked for. But, beware of scams involved in it. For instance,
some online poker rooms advertise to offer huge bonuses. Sometimes, it
may not be a scam. However, it is always advisable to play in
respectable poker rooms, offering reasonable bonuses. Other important
factors to be considered for selecting an online poker room are
financial stability, accessible customer service, and ease of
competitions. Player reviews are regarded as one of the best sources to
compare various online poker rooms and choose an appropriate online
poker room.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Online poker rooms include poker rooms of large online
poker networks and independent poker rooms. A poker room belonging to
online poker networks is called a skin. Some of the top names in poker
networks with online poker rooms are The Cryptological Network, iGlobal
Media, Prima Poker, and The Tribeca network. Among the significant
independent poker rooms are Poker Champs, Pacific Poker, and Paradise
Poker.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Online poker is a popular game with several million ardent fans
around the globe. In recent years, some casinos have begun installing
video poker machines to draw in those who prefer playing online video
poker. Others prefer playing poker in the comfort of their homes. The
main advantage of online poker games is that they can be played at any
time of the day, according to the player's convenience.
<br />
Online poker allows users to participate in a variety of online
poker tournaments, such as Texas Holdem Poker, Seven Card Stud Poker,
Omaha Poker, Five Card Stud, and Five Card Draw. In online poker
tournaments, players can compete with multiple opponents, since a number
of people could be playing the same tournament at any given point in
time.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Online poker tournaments can be played from the comfort of
the player's home. Players can participate in these tournaments by
registering on the websites that host them. Usually, there are
moderators who organize and monitor these online poker tournaments.
Typically, players and moderators meet in a private chat room before the
commencement of a game. During these online pre-game meetings, the
organizers brief players about the tournament rules and regulations.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Online
poker tournaments can also be played free of cost. The main purpose of
offering free online poker tournaments is to attract people to the
websites that organize such tournaments. It is expected that over a
period of time, a considerable number of first-time online players who
have registered for these tournaments would continue to become permanent
members who take part in the paid tournaments.</div>

play online poker tournaments against several poker groups around the
world. These online poker tournaments are held nearly everyday. Many
online poker sites offer tournaments for different levels of players
such as amateurs, professionals, and casual players. There are strict

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Online Casinos are very popular and lot of people are playing and
gambling. Online casinos can be divided into three groups based on their
interface: web-based casinos, download-based casinos, and more recently
live casinos. Some casinos offer multiple interfaces.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Web-based Casinos</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Web-based
online casinos are different websites where gamblers/users can play
casino games such as online Bingo, Black Jack, Baccarat, Poker and many
more. They do not need to download any software to their computer. The
games are represented in the owner's browser plug-ins Macromedia Flash,
Macromedia Shockwave, or Java. Also, bandwidth is needed in order to
play the sounds, the images and animations. Web-based are the most
popular.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Download-based online casinos</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Download-based online
casinos require the user to have a computer in order to download the
online casino software for him to play the games and gamble on the
online casino. The online casino software connects directly to the
casino service provider without browser support. This type of online
casino runs much faster than the typical online web-based casino since
all animation and sound programs are already located within the software
itself. The only drawback to download-based online casinos is the time
it takes to download on your computer and there may be a risk of malware
and spyware as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Live-based casinos</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Live-based casinos
are the top notch of online casino. It allows you to directly interface
with a real world/live casino just as if you were in it. The player can
interact live with other players and live dealers at tables via a real
time web window, whether he is playing Poker, Baccarat or Poker.</div>

best suits him and have fun all night long. All online casinos will

time and do not require the involvement of casino employees to play,

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For those of us whose significant others frown upon a weekly poker
night with the boys or with the girls, online poker is the answer. You
no longer need to hide in your basement with bowls of stale Fritos and a
six-pack of Pabst Blue Ribbon to enjoy a game of poker. Rather, the
internet has brought the game right to your computer. This is a more
recent phenomenon, however, as online poker rooms have only arisen in
the past ten or twelve years; just a child compared to the 200-year
history of "old-fashioned," face-to-poker face poker.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Online poker
was preceded by other forms of online gambling such as sports-orienting
betting in the early 1990's and online casinos in the mid 1990's.
Planet Poker, a now smaller operation, established the first online
poker room in 1998 and a year later, Paradise Poker emerged. Their use
of effective advertising, innovative software, and international appeal
led them to the forefront of online poker where they still enjoy the
status as one of the industry leaders. In 2000, Poker Spot emerged as
the first online poker site to offer tournament play. However, this site
suffered from technical difficulties that resulted in its unfortunate
demise.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Through the early years of the 21st Century, Paradise
Poker remained the top firm in the biz until 2003 when poker hit
mainstream television. The World Poker Tour premiered on the Travel
Channel and captured the highest ratings in the network's history. This
not only led to a dramatic rise in poker's popularity, but it also
resulted in the emergence of another online poker giant. A company
called Party Poker launched a well-devised advertising campaign that
aired during the World Poker Tour. This brilliant marketing led them to
the forefront of the industry where they currently hold almost half of
the entire online poker community.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Following this rating booms
experienced by the Travel Channel, other networks such as ESPN began
airing live poker as part of their regular programming. Shows such as
Celebrity Poker are still immensely popular. These shows not only led to
the increased visibility and popularity of poker, but they resulted in a
boom in online gaming. Many viewers felt inspired by the fact that
entrants were qualifying for big tournaments through online play. Online
poker received some big press in both 2003 and 2004 when the winners of
the World Series of Poker were Chris Moneymaker and Greg Raymer, both
online players through Poker Stars. This free advertising was quite
effective, and 6,000 entrants for the World Series of Poker qualified
through online play in 2005.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
In today's world of online casino gambling, online casinos &
online poker rooms it's a difficult and sometimes daunting task choosing
the best online casino for your gambling needs. One must look at a
variety of things when deciding on the online casino of their choice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Unlike
in Las Vegas, where although you have some 50 land based casinos on a
strip of about 1 mile, on the internet, one has thousands of online
casinos to choose from within a matter of minutes. Each casino offers a
variety of games, promotions, graphics, software and gaming experience
to try and entice you to make a deposit and start playing for gold.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When
looking at first class online casinos we suggest assessing the
following variables in order to make the most educated and informative
decision before playing that favorite online casino of choice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Reputation
within the online casino industry is critical when selecting those
first class online casinos. Those same casinos which win awards year
after year and have the reputation within the gambling community as
being one of the best will definitely be classed within this category.
The sound, graphic and software itself is another great sign of those
first class online casinos. Once again, software giants like Microgaming
& Cryptologic employ the top developers and tend to offer the most
amazing sound, graphics and software capabilities for their online
casinos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The promotions each casino offers is often the best
reflection of the quality online casinos and those same casinos which
truly are in a class of their own. With the online gambling industry
being as competitive as ever, the best online casinos will always offer
top notch promotions to entice you into playing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally, things
like game variety, payment options and the casinos loyalty program are
once again paramount in deciding which of the thousands of online
casinos truly are the best and offer first class experiences for their
customers.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Use these measures when searching your favorite online
casino and you will be well on your way to months and months of
excitement and high tech gambling fun!</div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi08XH3O_LjBnocrCV4dyS0SyANcCkKSpTSTj4vddt-XWBSTp_vVjEIb2-kw4LJvqrmCKkMHU5bv22I_Ba1OPNRoLeCO9cDpKTeqtxreymeWQIXMzmEaOyHOjU67J_TvK3pa6vaYw_7BO4/s1600/Free+Casino+Chips+and+Honest+Online+Casinos.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi08XH3O_LjBnocrCV4dyS0SyANcCkKSpTSTj4vddt-XWBSTp_vVjEIb2-kw4LJvqrmCKkMHU5bv22I_Ba1OPNRoLeCO9cDpKTeqtxreymeWQIXMzmEaOyHOjU67J_TvK3pa6vaYw_7BO4/s320/Free+Casino+Chips+and+Honest+Online+Casinos.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An understanding of the relevance of free casino chips must be put
into its proper context: are the offers of the free chips coming from
honest online casinos?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first online casinos opened 10 years
ago, and now there are hundreds that can be found online. Estimates vary
as to the number of people who gamble online, but recent estimates
suggest that a figure of around seven million worldwide would not be too
far out. Taking that into account, and with a further estimate of more
than $12 billion spent in online casinos alone (not including physical
land-based casinos), offers of free casino chips may understandably be
seen as something of a drop in the ocean.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Add to that the question
of whether or not these free chips are being offered by honest online
casinos, and we enter an area worth some study or serious research.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Firstly,
let us consider what these free casino chips are really worth to the
individual online casino player. Free casino chips are of four main
types:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
No Deposit Bonus. This is simply free money. Honest online
casinos will offer free casino chips with no strings attached, simply to
attract people to play at their virtual tables. There will sometimes be
minor strings attached. For example, the casino may ask for credit card
details up front. Always read the terms.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Matching Deposit Bonus.
This is where the house will match your deposit. Often this is done in
multiples. For example, a 200% bonus will mean that if you were to
deposit $100 then the casino would add $200 in free casino chips to your
account. Very nice! Especially useful for new players starting out.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Uncashable
Bonus. This is the so-called 'sticky' bonus. This can never be cashed,
but its usefulness lies in that fact that it stays in your account and
enables you to use the bonus account to 'leverage' higher wagers. These
free casino chips stay latent in your account simply to allow you to do
things which you otherwise could not.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Loyalty Bonus. This is
exactly as it sounds. All honest online casinos, and offline ones too,
want to keep hold of their good returning customers, and will offer
loyalty bonuses, including free casino chips, as a result.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Remember
that online casinos can afford to do this because they simply do not
have the overhead that their brick and mortar land-based counterparts
have. Equally, there is no excuse for an online casino NOT to be honest
for exactly the same reason. They can offer free casino chips AND be an
honest online casino in circumstances where their physical equivalents
would find the financial burden impossible.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So how do we go about
identifying which are the honest online casinos and which are not? Well,
a lot has changed since the earliest online casinos set up shop in
their offshore locations in 1996. Self-regulation (at best dubious) led
to accreditation of bodies like ECOGRA (E-Commerce Online Gaming
Regulation and Assurance). Look out also for evidence of good customer
care, positive feedback from online casino forum members and decent
helpline facilities. The more honest online casinos will offer (will
actively boast) 24 hour live chat and live email support as well as
toll-free telephone help. Does it have a mailing list you can join to
keep in contact with the latest tournaments and special offers? Trust
lies at the heart of any subscription process (or people would not
subscribe) so that in itself is a good indicator of an honest online
casino.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The topic of whether online poker is legal or illegal is frankly
quite interesting. Typically, gambling is managed by each individual
state, and as a result some states have legalized gambling and casinos
and others do not. However, the internet is not something that can be
managed by each state because it is global, there are no controls so to
speak by individual countries, states, or governments on the Internet
because it is like another world. But, back to the legality of poker
online, a question that has no answer or many answers depending on how
you look at it. There is no precedent set for gambling online, as a
result there is no way to say that gambling online is legal, illegal, or
none of the above. In fact, you could answer yes, no, or maybe, and be
just as right with any of these answers. The Wire Act is one issues
people say that makes gambling online illegal because it bans gambling
by phone, however there is no precedent set that makes this statement
valid regarding Internet gambling. As a result, while there are plenty
of ways to infer gambling online is illegal, there is no way to prove so
until a precedent is set. Setting a legal precedent requires someone
being charged with playing online poker and then being found guilty. As
of yet, not one single American soul out of the millions who play online
poker each and every day has ever been charged, fined, or convicted of
this act.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You might find this information not very helpful because
your question is whether or not you can safely play poker online and
not worry about breaking the law or being subjected to prosecution or
fines of any type. Well, there is no outright answer, which favors
playing poker online because there is nothing saying you absolutely
cannot play poker online. Even if your state does not have legalized
gambling or casinos, you can still play poker online and not worry about
the authorities catching you and giving you a ticket. At the moment in
time, finding all the online poker players, and fining them is not the
main goal of states, and until there is some definitive statement
regarding online poker you should play your heart away. Additionally,
the fact that no legal precedent exists regarding online poker means you
really have nothing to worry about.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However, if you are really
concerned about the legality, or illegality, of playing poker online you
should play and keep your ear out for any new information on the
subject, or else avoid the game altogether because if you are so worried
about the legality of online poker you won't really be able to enjoy
playing the game.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Online Poker Beginnings
<br />Poker and gambling has been popular for years, however many states
have outlawed the activity relegating die hard fans to travel to the
likes of Las Vegas, Atlantic City, or even the Cherokee Reservation in
North Carolina to play their beloved game. However, not everyone can
afford to travel to one of these destinations to play poker, nor do
individuals have the time to do so on a regular basis. So, what was the
average person who loved poker supposed to do if his buddies couldn't
play one Saturday night? Before online poker there were few options,
now, no matter where you live you can play poker online to your hearts
desire. You can play at night, in the morning, while eating lunch, or
working as well. Online poker allows you to play your favorite game
whenever and wherever you like!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At first, people thought this was
an amazing idea, but they were also very cautious as well because the
Internet was new, there was little understanding on how one could
actually win money in an online poker game and then receive the money,
there was mistrust, and simply confusion. But, the poker websites
started offering security measures, large bonuses, and benefits for
online players and little by little individuals started playing poker
online.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The first players of online poker shared their success
stories with friends and family members, as well as boasting about the
security measures and the safety of playing online. This word of mouth
advertising in addition to the advertising by the online poker sites
really attracted new players and now in just a few short years online
poker sites are some of the most popular sites on the web and there are
people who play online poker every single day. If you had asked poker
players 20 years ago what they thought of playing poker at home on a
computer rather than in the casino you probably would have gotten some
really strange looks and resounding negative responses. However, the age
of the Internet has changed people and whether it is shopping, paying
bills, or playing poker online the Internet is making everything easier
and more accessible to the masses. Before, poker was a game of the
wealthy who had the money to spend on a long vacation to a poker hot
spot. Now, poker is a game of the every day man or woman that enjoys a
hand of poker, but has neither the time nor the money to travel all over
the country to play.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Most all top online casinos voluntarily subject themselves to regular
audits (usually monthly) by a qualified and reputable third party firm,
such as Pricewaterhouse Coopers (PwC). These audits generally focus on
two aspects of the online casino's operations: their <b>random number generator</b> and their <b>payout rates</b>. The latter -- payout rates -- is the subject of this article.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An
online casino's payout rates are displayed as a percentage -- that
being the percentage of incoming wagers that are paid out in winnings.
As you can imagine, the higher the payout rates, the better. The top
online casinos are often considered so, in part, precisely because they
offer the highest payout rates.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A top online casino with the
highest payout rate in video poker may not have the best payout rate for
slots. Payout rates vary within top online casinos for each individual
game. If you're planning on joining a top online casino for a specific
game -- be it poker, craps, baccarat, video poker, roulette, blackjack,
slots, keno, or any other top online casino game -- check the top online
casino's payout percentages for that specific game.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Top Online Casino Payout Rates Overall:</b>
Grand Online Casino (98.42%), Golden Palace Online Casino (98.15%),
Sands of the Caribbean (98.11%), USA Casino (98.09%), 32Red Casino
(97.97%), Ladbrokes Casino (97.68%), Casino-on-Net (97.63%), InterCasino
(97.13%).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Top Online Casino Payouts for Slots:</b> Slotland
(98.00%), Casino Las Vegas (97.50%), Golden Palace Online Casino
(97.18%), Royal Vegas Online Casino (96.59%), Aztec Riches Casino
(96.51%), Yukon Gold Casino (96.31%), Shark Casino (96.49%), Casino
Kingdom (96.15%), Ladbrokes Casino (96.03%).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Top Online Casino Payouts for Video Poker:</b>
Jackpots in a Flash Casino (99.53%), Lucky Nugget Online Casino
(99.11%), Crazy Vegas Casino (99.07%), Lucky Emperor Casino (99.03%), 7
Sultan Casino (99.00%), Royal Vegas Online Casino (98.77%), Swiss Casino
(98.70%), Spin Palace (98.60%), RiverBelle Casino (98.59%), Roxy Palace
Online Casino (98.58%).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Top Online Casino Payout at Table Games:</b>
Casino Kingdom (99.62%), Mummys Gold Casino (99.52%), Aztec Riches
Casino (99.22%), 3 Diamond Casino (99.19%), 49er Casino (99.10%), Casino
Domain (99.01%), Challenge Casino (98.98%), Crazy Vegas Casino
(98.91%), Cherry Casino (98.69%), Captain Cooks (98.57%).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Top
online casinos that get their payout rates audited will almost always
publish the results of each audit on their website for anyone -- member
or non-member -- to view. They'll even keep archives of all their past
audits, also open to public viewing.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Getting involved in online poker games is a wonderful way of enabling
you to play a great card game in the privacy of your own home. There
are so many tremendous advantages to playing these poker games via the
internet. First of all, it is convenient in that you do not have to
drive a long distance or even short distance to a gaming facility as you
will most likely only need to walk into the other room where your
computer is set up. A second reason why online poker games are a great
way to enjoy your card games is that the stakes may sometimes be a bit
lower than if you were to proceed to gamble at a physical establishment.
A third advantage of playing poker games online is that concentration
is more readily available as you are not playing poker in a distracting
atmosphere where other players are sitting to the left and right of you
in sometimes overly close quarters. A fourth and important advantage to
playing poker online is that you can play this fun game 24 hours a day, 7
days a week without ever having to leave the comfort of your own home.
Lastly, as gaming tables at casino establishments can sometimes be
largely filled up, by playing online poker you will ultimately eliminate
the wait that often exists at gaming tables in casinos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Convenience
for the seasoned or beginner poker player is one of the many advantages
of playing online poker. Even though gaming institutions are popping
up in more and more places these days, it is still likely that you will
have to drive a good distance to reach a casino. As a number of casinos
will usually have ample parking, there will still be those instances
where you will have to look around for awhile for a parking spot and
sometimes even pay for your parking while you are inside the casino. By
playing poker online at home you are able to completely disregard the
notion of driving anywhere at all and can use your time more wisely as
opposed to wasting it by driving to and from the gaming facility.
Another plus with not having to drive to a gaming establishment is that
you will save money on gasoline. Online poker is definitely for the
convenience-lover.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lower stakes in the poker game are also an
advantage of playing poker in an online setting. As individuals that
play poker online are often beginners and are trying to learn the ins
and outs of the game, low stakes poker games online make this type of
table game a great place in which to learn without losing large amounts
of money. In order to find the websites offering low stakes poker
online, simply do a general search using a phrase such as "low stakes
poker online" or "poker games online low stakes" and you will be met
with a number of poker websites from which to choose the one you like
best. Just be sure to thoroughly review the site prior to playing for
safety reasons to make sure it is legitimate.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A third advantage of
playing the game of poker online is that concentration will be more
focused and centered in the comfort of your own home. Sometimes when
you are playing poker table games at a casino, or any type of table
games for that matter, other players can be distracting and almost
intrusive. With online poker, you are able to concentrate better
thereby increasing your chances of winning. When people are unable to
concentrate, they tend to make silly moves thereby losing more money
than they might have had they been able to concentrate. Playing poker
online enables you to be able to concentrate on the game at hand and
eliminates any outside distractions that may be present within a casino
setting.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Having the availability of playing online poker 24 hours a
day, 7 days a week is another wonderful advantage of playing a poker
game in this manner. This is wonderful for the individual who likes to
wait until later at night when the house is quiet and work is done for
the day when he/she can sit down in front of the computer and enjoy a
game or two of online poker. It doesn't matter what time of day it is
as you are sure to find an online poker game in progress. Availability
is a beneficial advantage to the poker game lover.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Finally,
playing online poker is a great way to ensure your place at a virtual
gaming table. How many times have you driven to your local casino, or
in some instances not so local casino, and found that you had to wait an
unimaginable amount of time to secure a spot at a card table that was
within your budget? My guess is quite a few of you have experienced
this type of waiting game. By utilizing the availability of online
poker websites you will be able to find a place at one of their virtual
tables and no longer will you need to wait in line to enjoy some poker
action. This may also help you to relax as sometimes waiting in lines
can cause unnecessary anxiety and aggravation.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
These are just a
few reasons why playing poker online is a great alternative to playing
this game at a casino in your area. Not only is online poker convenient
but it also allows you to concentrate on your game and increase your
winnings. Additionally, it allows you to play this entertaining game
for lower sums of money, thereby limiting any potential extreme losses.
Also, you will never have to wait in a smoky, crowded casino area again
looking for a table spot to open up. After hearing about all of the
aforementioned reasons, why not give online poker a try and see for
yourself all of the wonderful things that it has to offer. Chances are
you will not be disappointed.</div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinZBRz7FM82mxKS75qg_s1tttVaWbEr3ElT7ALPCMAiFCxWN67BVMuffaBC3fCko04pjcsQ5xTy1o6Y1BNUt8TgVZ6y2W_Fs8dtE6OZDkall37cP90mglpl72YSeww36mjw9_WBMrNiXQ/s1600/Best+Online+Casinos+and+Bonuses.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" height="235" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinZBRz7FM82mxKS75qg_s1tttVaWbEr3ElT7ALPCMAiFCxWN67BVMuffaBC3fCko04pjcsQ5xTy1o6Y1BNUt8TgVZ6y2W_Fs8dtE6OZDkall37cP90mglpl72YSeww36mjw9_WBMrNiXQ/s320/Best+Online+Casinos+and+Bonuses.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After reviewing scads of online casino sites, we've started to get a
real clear idea of what players are looking for in a site. The best
online casinos offer a variety of gameplay (different types of slots,
blackjack, roulette, etc.), a clean and intuitive lobby with ample
stats, and a secure cashier with reliable payouts.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Oh, and one
other thing: freebies. The best online casino players are looking for
the best odds, and getting something for nothing is about as good as
they get. That's why, following our list of the best online casinos
overall, we've also listed those sites that give the best bonuses, both
matching/deposit bonuses and the "freest" of freebies, No Deposit
Bonuses.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Our research has concluded that these are the overall
best online casinos: Golden Palace Online Casino, 7 Sultans Casino,
InterCasino, Casino-on-Net, UK Casino Club, Black Jack Ballroom Casino,
English Harbour Casino, Spin Palace Casino, and Casino Fortune.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When
looking at the best online casinos with No Deposit Bonuses, remember
that No Deposit Bonuses come with wagering requirements that you must
meet before you are permitted to withdraw them (or whatever's left of
them after the wagering requirements have been met). Even the best
online casinos with the best No Deposit Bonuses have wagering
requirements so high that it'll be quite the challenge to keep the bonus
fully intact before you've qualified to withdraw it.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
But if you
go into these best online casinos with the intention of using their No
Deposit Bonus to test their waters, to feel out the online casino and
its patrons before deciding to commit your own hard-earned money to your
chip stack, then you'll maximize your use of the No Deposit Bonus with
no unrealistic expectations of actually pocketing the bulk of that $10
or $15 at the end of the day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The best online casinos with no
deposit bonuses that we've found include the following: At 25 pounds
sterling, Gaming Club Online Casino; followed by $25 (Jackpot City
Online Casino), $16 (Captain Cooks Casino, Casino Kingdom, Miami
Paradise Casino), $15 (7 Sultans Casino, Aces High Casino, Piggs Peak
Casino and Sci Fi Casino).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It's much easier, however, to walk away
from the best online casinos with some of your deposit bonus/matching
bonus intact. As the wagering requirements are typically more reasonable
for the bonuses that do require a deposit first, you can really make an
entrance whenever you sit down at any new online casino's tables for
the first time backed by an intimidating chip stack.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The best
online casino bonuses we've found include the following: $200 bonus for a
$50 deposit (Lucky Nugget Online Casino, AllJackpotsCasino and Gaming
Club Online Casino); $300 bonus for a $100 deposit (Golden Palace
Casino, Aspinalls Casino); $150 bonus for a $50 deposit (Spin Palace
Casino); $90 bonus for a $50 deposit (VIP Casino); $250 bonus for a $125
deposit (Lasseters Online Casino); and $200 bonus for a $100 deposit
(Captain Cooks Casino and Royal Vegas Online Casino).</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Of course,
bonuses and bonus structures are changing all the time, and which casino
is truly the best online casino is up to you, the player. What's
important to you at an online casino? Certain games? Certain stakes?
Promotions? Atmosphere/ambience? Celebrity endorsement? Heck, the best
online casino for you may not even be on these lists, but we've at the
very least given you a jumpstart on your search and a solid guidepost by
which to gauge any other online casinos you investigate.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

As with any controversy, argument or debate, there are always two
sides of the story. In this expose we will reveal both sides of the
online poker rigged debate, and let you decide the truth.<br />
<strong>Online Poker Is Rigged</strong><br />
Browsing forums, chatboards and even poker sites themselves, one can always find plenty of players claiming that <em>online poker is rigged</em>. Yet few of these posters are able to give real <u>concrete proof that online poker is rigged</u>. Responses such as 'rigtards' or 'you play badly' come from opponents of the argument, yet they also fail to provide proof.<br />
The
actual proof is not so much in the fact of whether the sites are fixed,
the real proof is in the way in which poker sites deal and shuffle,
thereby creating poker hands that appear to be outside of the
statistical norm as opposed to live poker.<br />
First let us examine the ways in which all <u>poker rooms </u>deal
and shuffle their cards. Since it is a computerized game, and lacks
real human intervention in the shuffling and dealing, they must use a
software program to do the job of a poker dealer. That software is
commonly referred to as a <strong>random number generator (RNG)</strong>.<br />
Now
most people will accept the fact that a RNG is truly a fair and
honestly random way to deal and shuffle a deck of cards,. However, the
fact is that a RNG lacks the ability to truly be random. Randomness, by
definition, is the absence of any such order, in other words, if I were
to ask you to give me 20 different alphanumeric symbols for a password,
you could easily create a RANDOM sequence (such as 45tsk3uyeasa9j2udt1),
and that password would clearly and truly be a random number as there
is obviously no <em>ORDER </em>in the way you selected it. (Your brain simply rattled off 20 random numbers and letters).<br />
On the other hand, if I use a software program, such as a hardware <em>random number generator</em>
entropy source (a popular way sites 'deal and shuffle' decks) to create
the 20 character password, it WILL have some order to it as a computer
program is restricted in its ability to truly choose a random sequence.
Although poker sites will claim that their software is highly
unpredictable and no person or program could truly crack poker, the
truth remains the RNG is NOT and can NOT, by any scientific definition,
be random.<br />
Furthermore, in an effort to prevent anyone from
cracking the RNG and gaining an unfair advantage, every poker site uses
additional poker algorithms with the specific design of preventing a
player from continuously winning poker hand after hand. This was
accomplished in response to the Absolute Poker scandal wherein a player,
using inside information, dominated a $1000 buy in tourney and won
every single hand in the tourney except the first two.<br />
The fact
that internet poker uses a computerized mathematical function to create
an appearance of randomness combined with additional poker algorithms to
prevent players from winning consistently certainly lends credibility
to the Online Poker is rigged debate.<br />
<strong>Online Poker Is NOT Rigged</strong><br />
Those that claim <em>online poker is not rigged</em>
will point to the fact that hand histories reflect the true statistical
odds of the game and combined with the poor playing style of many
players is what actually results in why<u> too many suckouts occur in online poker</u>.<br />
In
addition, these debaters will add that a poker site would not
jeopardize their relationship with customers or their profits by rigging
the games. Although online poker is a multi-billion dollar industry,
the <em><u>bottom line</u></em> is their profit margin and keeping customers or creating new customers.<br />
Most
of the online poker is not rigged arguments come from those that have
faith in the RNG and the integrity of the internet poker sites
themselves. However, no concrete proof has ever been offered from anyone
on the online poker is not rigged side as to the truth about whether
the poker sites are rigged or not. In fact every major poker site, such
as pokerstars or full tilt poker will simply state that they are
certified by auditing concerns as to the integrity of the software.<br />
Yet
definitive proof that shows their poker algorithms and software for
examination by outside sources is lacking. In addition, the poker rooms
will not offer complete hand histories of all poker hands dealt on their
site for analysis by outside sources. Therefore, the 'Internet poker is
not rigged' side of the debate expects all players to just take their
word for it, that the poker sites are being fair and honest.<br />
You decide! Take their word for it that they are fair and honest or examine scientific proof that online poker is rigged.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The latest rage by poker aficionados and programmers is to create and
use a poker bot that will automatically play online poker with little
or no human interaction, with the ultimate goal of winning money. This
recent craze has alarmed both online poker sites and players as the fear
of a computer program with the capacity to win online poker will
essentially be able to outsmart live thinking players of their
hard-earned money and eventually rob the poker sites of quality players
afraid to play against so many poker bots.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A recent industry study
concluded that 12% of online poker players were apprehensive about or
had completely stopped playing online poker in light of the recent poker
bot craze. That essentially sends players offline rather than risk
their money against these new computer-generated poker bots.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
However,
there are several ways to beat a poker bot in online poker, and knowing
these methods will certainly give the human player back the edge
against poker bots. One fact that makes a poker bot a better player is
that they lack the human emotion or power of reasoning that a human must
use when playing online poker. A poker bot is not apt to go on 'tilt'
or get angry when they are the victims of a bad beat.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In playing
online poker, human players are up against two major advantages. One is
the computer generated code created by the poker sites to determine
shuffles, deals and outcomes of a hand, while the other disadvantage,
just as dangerous to your bankroll, is the poker bot, that is
pre-programmed with all the statistics and probabilities of the game.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nevertheless,
you can use the computer-generated codes of the poker sites and poker
bots against them if you understand how they work. A poker bot is
confined to making decisions based solely on the play of the game with
regard to its statistical analysis of poker. In other words, a poker bot
will only make decisions based on known patterns in the game.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moreover,
the online poker sites, which actively attempt to detect and thwart the
efforts of poker bot programmers and users, have implemented a
counter-measure to the poker bots, using the same known patterns. By
implementing a counter measure to the poker bots, a poker site is able
to ensure that a poker bot will not win since the poker bots actions are
predictable and confined to a skill-set directly related to statistical
odds and probability.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This, as confusing as it may seem, actually
works to the advantage of the human player. While the poker site's
software is actively seeking the poker bot patterns and attempting to
detect who is a human and who is a computer generated bot script, they
also inadvertently implemented a flaw which allows a human player to
take advantage of the online poker sites weakness.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In reality,
this has resulted in a human player having the ability to not only beat
the poker bot, but beat human opponents as well. By following a set
pattern that the online poker sites are using, an advantage is created
for anyone who is aware of that pattern. This pattern is known as a
sequential algorithm and that algorithm dramatically has changed the
poker game online to force wins and losses in a set, specific and
predictable pattern.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is not only plausible to beat a poker bot;
it is easily accomplished by recognizing the patterns used by online
poker sites. These patterns are simple to learn and require little skill
by a human player. So the next time you think about playing poker
online, consider using the codes and algorithms created by the poker
site to your advantage. They are there to prevent the poker bots from
winning, but not you!</div>

Casinos rise and fall faster than you can blink an eye. The first
casino was opened in 1941 on the Los Vegas strip; however by 1992 all of
those casinos had been demolished to make way for new modern casinos.
Online it has been the same evolution with casinos sprouting around
every corner of cyberspace. These have come and gone faster than the
click of your mouse. But how did this start?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Let's start with
Google the internet search engine. Type in online casino and it brings
back more than 27 million websites. The shear volume for the term online
casino reflects how many people have vested interests in the gaming
industry and how popular online casinos have become. The first online
casinos first made their appearance during 1996 and a mere US$17 million
was wagered, compared to US$3 billion by 2000.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It is estimated
today that more than a trillion dollars gets spent online each year with
online casinos worldwide. Bear Stearns, a leading worldwide investment
banking and securities trading and brokerage firm, estimates that during
2003 more than US$ 6 billion had been spent on online casinos by US
gamblers alone! With the growing adoption of broadband internet this
online pool of gamblers increases each year.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With online casinos
there has also been the expansion of online advertising to gamblers,
which according to the BBC places gambling advertisers as the fifth
largest advertisers on the internet. Online casinos make use of two
types of software. Those that you can download and install onto your
computer and the true online casinos where you gamble on the interface
of the online casinos web page. Each party makes their choices of how
they wish to interact online. With all this sophisticated software, how
do online casinos compare to your average brick and mortar casino? Each
has their advantages. In an online casino you can play more than one
poker game at a time or even gamble on more than one game at a time. In a
normal casino this would not be physically possible. The advantage of
any real casino compared to an online casino is that you can always
judge the physical reaction of the players around the table.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With
an online casino it is impersonal and you would never be able to guess
the cards the other person is holding. Online casinos have made great
strides in trying to mimic the feel of a real casino in the fashion of
the bricks and mortar casinos. They have flashy web pages and music to
lure you to play. Domain names in it self have become a big issue with
the purchase of misspelled domain names for online casinos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A
recent dispute with the domain name of Sportsodds springs to mind. This
domain name was registered by their competitor to drive traffic to the
competitor's webpage's. This ended in a legal dispute. Online casinos
are big business judging from the amount of money that gets placed on
bets and by the amount of money being spent on it. Where there is big
money, there will always be disputes.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Online casinos are open 24
hours a day, 7 days a week and they are accessible from anywhere in the
world. Casinos use to be down the road or in your next big town. That
has changed in the 21st century. With the advent of online casinos the
casino is now in your home. Better yet, if you are reading this, you are
already at the casinos doorstep. What is stopping you from placing your
bet at an online casino today and joining millions of others?</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Isaac westmenloAA Baron</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Isaac Baron is widely recognized as one
of the best tournament and cash game players in online poker. In 2007,
Isaac was named the CardPlayer Online Player of The Year. In his poker
career, Isaac Baron has pocketed more than $3,000,000 in prize money,
captured 13 titles, and become one of the most well-known online poker
players. The most prestigious of Isaac's victories came in the
PokerStars Sunday Million, Full Tilt $750,000 Guarantee, and PokerStars
$200 Rebuy events. Although Baron has begun to focus his attentions
more on cash games and live tournament action, he is still a threat to
take down any tournament he enters. A recent European Poker Tour Final
Table appearance netted Isaac Baron nearly $1,000,000, and solidifies
his place as one of the best online or live tournament poker players.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Alex AJKHoosier1 Kamberis</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With
over $3,300,000 in career poker winnings, AJKHoosier1 is undeniably on
the shortlist of best online poker players. Alex started playing poker
in 2006 and after a solid start to his career in 2007, he exploded onto
the poker scene in 2008 with just under 2.8 million dollars in
tournament winnings. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In 2008, AJKHoosier1 was the CardPlayer
Online Player of the Year, and has already accrued 122 cashes and 9
titles in his short career. As with many of the dominant online poker
player, Alex has started branching out in live poker tournaments, and
will certainly be a tough out in any live or online poker tournament he
enters.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shaundeeb</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shaun Deeb is the current leader in the
CardPlayer Online Player of the Year race, and has been one of the top
online poker players for the past few years. Deeb recently took down
the $75,000 Guarantee and has 2nd place finishes in the PokerStars Super
Tuesday and Full Tilt Poker Sunday Brawl. In his poker career, Shaun
Deeb has already accumulated more than 2,000,000 in tournament winnings,
20 poker titles, and an amazing 120 cashes. Deeb is not only extremely
talented, but is known as a poker grinder, reportedly playing 30
tournaments a day on average. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Annette_15</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Annette Obrestad
has already etched her name into poker history with a victory at 2007
World Series of Poker Europe Main Event. The fact that Annette_15 is
still not old enough to enter live poker tournaments in the United
States, makes her $3,400,000 in career poker tournament winnings even
more impressive. Annette Obrestad has also famously won a 180 person
sit n go while only peaking at her cards once. Among the other
legendary tales of Annette_15, is that she has turned money won from
freerolls into millions of dollars without ever making a deposit with an
online poker site. Annette_15 has not repeated her earlier tournament
dominance in the past two year, but the legend will undoubtedly continue
to grow.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kevin BeL0WaB0Ve Saul</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Kevin BeL0WaB0Ve Saul is
known as one of the most dominant forces in early online poker
tournaments. Kevin Saul parlayed his early online success into a
$1,3000,000 payout at the 2007 Bellagio Cup and a WPT title. BeL0WaB0Ve
and a small group of tournament players began playing
hyper-aggressively and dominating the online poker tournament circuit a
couple years ago. The rest of the online tournament fields were forced
to change their style of play, and the end-result is that tournament
players utilize more 3 and 4bet bluffs and have loosened up their
raising and calling ranges significantly. BeL0WaB0Ve helped to move
tournament poker to the next level, and usually busts early or contends
for the title. Kevin Saul's dominance at online poker may be
disappearing, but figures to be a force on the live tournament poker
scene.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Jon PearlJammer Turner</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After a humble beginning to
his career in 2005 and 2006, Jon PearlJammer Turner has turned into one
of the best live and online tournament poker players. PearlJammer has
over $2,000,000 in career poker winnings, and is currently ranked highly
in both the live and online Player of The Year Leaderboards. Jon
impressed the folks at Full Tilt Poker enough to receive a sponsorship
deal and is listed in red on the website as Full Tilt Professional. In
addition to his 9 career victories, PearlJammer has 138 cashes,
including two final tables at 2009 World Series of Poker. Jon is a
well-rounded player and excels in mixed games as well as No-Limit
Hold'em. PearlJammer could be a dual threat for years to come with the
chance at winning the Player of the Year and Online Player of the Year
awards. In 2008, PearlJammer and fellow online studs Eric Rizen Lynch
and Jon Apestyles Van Fleet released Winning Poker Tournaments One Hand
at a Time, Volume I, a book on online tournament strategy. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Steve Gboro780 Gross</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gboro780
is currently the 2nd ranked player in the 2009 CardPlayer Online Player
of the Year Race. Gboro780 has quickly ascended to the top of online
poker world and has nearly $2,000,000 in career poker tournament
winnings to his name. The bulk of Steve Gross's money has been won in
2008 and 2009, with nearly 1 million dollars earned each year. There
have been a lot of player in the past five years that have been shooting
stars and then moved onto great fame and fortune in live tournaments or
fizzled out completely, but Gboro780 has consistently been one of the
best online poker players the past couple years. Gboro780 has 16 wins
to his name and an astounding 124 career cashes to date. The sky is the
limit for this player, and there might just be an online player of the
year award in his future. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Adam Roothlus Levy</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Roothlus
gained poker popularity at the 2008 World Series of Poker with his deep
finish in the Main Event and his interactions with the Poker Brat Phil
Hellmuth. Adam has nearly $2,000,000 in poker winnings including 112
cashes and 4 titles to date. Roothlus has pulled of some of the most
impressive feats in online poker tournament history with 2 final tables
in a 5 week period of time and the PokerStars Sunday Millions. The size
of the Sunday Millions regularly breaks 5,000 entrants and the only
tournament comparable in size is the WSOP Main Event, and Roothlus has
routinely cashed and final tabled some of the biggest tournaments.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
JohnnyBax</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cliff JohnnyBax Joseph</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
One
of the best known online poker players ever is JohnnyBax. Early in
JohnnyBax's career, he was considered one of if not the best poker
players in online poker tournaments. Josephy started his online career
in 2004 and has routinely been ranked atop the online player of the year
rankings. Although his attentions have turned to his own poker
training site, PokerXFactor, JohnnyBax's 2005 World Series of Poker
bracelet, $2,700,000 in career winnings, and legendary status as one
online pokers original stars will continue to have him rank as one of
the legends of the online game.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Darrell Gigabet Dicken</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Gigabet
is arguably the best known online poker player ever. Gigabet began his
online career dominating the online tournament fields, before turning
his attentions to live poker tournaments. Deep runs in World Series of
Poker and World Poker Tour Events in the past couple years confirmed
that his abilities are easily adaptable to live poker as well. Gigabet
has won 4 titles, including a WSOP Circuit Event victory and WPT
Championship. Between 2005 and 2007, Gigabet dominated the online poker
scene, but the past couple years has significantly cut back on his
tournament participation and is no longer a threat to win Online Player
of the Year awards. Gigabet is still a legend in the online poker
community, but should be a live threat in any tournament he participates
in.</div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7L6d1msnWhcc21bES8_x0sRM3m8xhzDI1HRmzacYc4B3w9d41_XafKaMVzBoACVeUr9BXMsmiMPAaHAdvCR7qKGOXlIbi4qZyE2rlbmAnzaYkydBTxXhFyoE8Jx7m2fiwkP8e2CNiuM4/s1600/Why+It+Is+Beneficial+To+Gamble+At+Online+Casinos.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg7L6d1msnWhcc21bES8_x0sRM3m8xhzDI1HRmzacYc4B3w9d41_XafKaMVzBoACVeUr9BXMsmiMPAaHAdvCR7qKGOXlIbi4qZyE2rlbmAnzaYkydBTxXhFyoE8Jx7m2fiwkP8e2CNiuM4/s1600/Why+It+Is+Beneficial+To+Gamble+At+Online+Casinos.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In the early 90's, way before online casinos were prevalent, I
enjoyed a great game of Roulette at one of my favorite land casinos
three or four times a week. These days, I don't even have to leave the
comforts of my own home to get in on the real action.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With the
beginning of online casinos during the mid-90's, and shortly there
after, their popularity has catapulted them into the most popular form
of online entertainment all over the world. Currently, online casino
gambling facilities are debuting every week it seems.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Compared to
the typical land casino, you will find that playing at online casinos
has its numerous advantages. In fact, we have compiled just a few of the
many benefits to playing online. Take a look:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Play Any Time, Anywhere</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If
you have Internet capabilities, you have your pick at hundreds of that
never close. No matter where you are on the planet, you can play at
Internet casinos for real money. What's more, these virtual casinos have
many excellent game choices that even the most discerning player will
find himself entertained and even capable of winning a lot of cash.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>No Need To Dress A Certain Way</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Some
land casinos tend to have dress codes to bet large amounts of money.
Now, you can even play the formal version of Baccarat in your bath robe
if you want to. No need to dress to impress, you will be playing in the
privacy of your own home. No one will mind your look what so ever. Now
you can even where that hideous but very lucky poker cap you love so
much without people staring.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>No Problem With Weather Or Climate</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Playing
at online casinos will put a stop to your disdain of Las Vegas summer
heat. Rain or shine, you can be rest assured that you can get into an
online casino without having to carry an umbrella or heavy overcoat.
Remember, you don't have to embark on any trip to a casino. You can sit
in your favorite comfortable chair at home during sleet, snow or
sunshine and log on to a great adventure.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Travel Not Required</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many
people who love to gamble do not have the luxury of living in Vegas or
even want to go there. With the wonderful new world of online casino
gambling, you will save precious time and money by playing right from
home. The money you save from not having to travel can be turned into a
bigger bank-roll for you to budget. The time you save from travel could
be money in the bank, too.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Personal Safety Factor</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When
playing at online casinos, you don't have to worry about unknowingly
dropping your money or chips on the ground and walking off only to
realize that you lost a lot of money. You can also feel at ease that no
one will be out to take physical advantage of you when playing online.
Playing from home, you will be one one's easy target either. These days,
women are playing more online casino games and winning some of the
Internet's top jackpots, many female players feel more confident at home
than they tend to at land casinos by themselves.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>The Ever Present Smoking Issues</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
With
more people concerned about playing in smoky environments, playing at
home is an obvious advantage. Plus, those of you that do enjoy smoking
will be able to do so without any flack from others. These days, many
land casinos don't allow smoking in their poker rooms either.
Statistically, many regular casino gamblers are heavy smokers, if this
is a problem for you, being at home will ensure a good environment for
you.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Crowd Control</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We all know gambling is the new
favorite past time. Land casinos get real busy. Sometimes it is very
difficult to find a table game or slot machine in your play-range - not
so at home. Many players are intimidated by crowds. New and even
seasoned players down like people ogling there game-play. Online casinos
provide the privacy and confidence you will want. It is always nice to
sit at home and play at your own crowd-free pace.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Games Selection</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As
we mentioned already, online casino provide just about any game you
could possibly want to wager on. They offer even more than your typical
casino on land, too. Think of just about any type of theme for a slot
machine, you will find it online. Online casinos are always looking to
offer more casino game all the time. You will not get bored.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Deposit and Withdraw Methods</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If
you play at casinos on land, you must use cash to start game play.
Casinos on the Net provide a complete selection of funding or deposit
methods to start you playing. Credit card use is permitted and accepted
most often. Not having to use cold hard cash only provides you with more
funding choices than casino on land will provide.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Free Game Play</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Just
about any online casino will allow players set up a dummy accounts
where you can practice and become familiar to the software and games
without using real money. You can always practice until you feel
absolutely ready to wager real money. Being able to test the waters for
free is a great advantage to online casino game playing. Confident
players are good players.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Free Money Bonuses</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Yes,
money fro nothing. Most all online casinos now offer you a free cash
deposit. Some are known as sign-on bonuses here if you deposit a certain
amount of money the casino will match it the first time (up to a
certain limit) these types of bonuses tend to be in the hundreds of
dollars. Other types of free money amounts can be anything from 20 - 50
dollars, and even much more depending on your initial deposit - so be
sure to check out good online casino reviews.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There You Have It.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Are
you convinced? You should be. The above advantages to playing online
are just a few of the many reasons you will want to play at home. These
are the focal reasons why I love playing from my own home. In my vast
experience playing online casino games fro real money, I believe these
reasons are more than enough to keep me away from the typical casinos on
land all over the world.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you are not yet convinced and you
would rather venture into a crowded, smoky, germ laden gambling hall, I
still wish you much luck. One thing to consider when heading back to a
typical big city casino is that without even having to open your front
door, you can open other doors to winning cash.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Online Poker Tools will help improve your play. Online Poker
Cheats may improve your play. Online Poker Tools are legal to use at
Online Poker Rooms. Online Poker Cheats are illegal and when detected
your account will be closed, your money seized.</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Online Poker Tools defined</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
An
Online Poker Tool is any device that a player uses to assist or help
play Online Poker. Online Poker Tools conform to the Terms and
Conditions of the Online Poker Room. Technically, a pad and calculator
could be an Online Poker Tool. Most Poker Tools are software that is
used before, during, or after play.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Online Poker Cheats described</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Generally
speaking, an Online Poker Cheat is any Software/Program that when
utilized, breaches the Terms and Conditions of your Online Poker Room.
Most reputable Poker Rooms' Terms and Conditions provide a description
of banned practice, as well as a citation of specifically banned
software. Online Poker Robots are a subset of Online Poker Cheats.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>
<br />Where is the Cheating Line?</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Where is the cheating line
between Online Poker Tools and Online Poker Cheats? The line exists
where your Online Poker Room sets it. Although Cheat creators like to
argue about it - for better or worse - the Poker Room holds all the
chips on this issue (pardon the pun). When you initiate an account with
a Poker Room, you agree to their terms and conditions. What they call a
cheat, is by default a cheat.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cheats tend to fester in three areas - data mining, card prediction, and automated play.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Data
mining - is where a Software/Program assimilates historical information
for use during or after play. In general, it is okay to use
information saved from hands you've played in. For hands that you
haven't played in, the use of Cheats to gather historical information is
illegal. The process of repetitive data mining is done by Robots.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Card
prediction - some programs insist they have broken the code on the
random number generators used by Poker Rooms. Statistically speaking,
this is unlikely. These Programs are illegal.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Automated play -
any Program that takes the player out of the loop of play (where the
program plays a complete hand without a player click) is illegal.
Automated players are often called Robots.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>
<br />How Prevalent are Online Poker Tools and Online Poker Cheats?</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Any guessing on the prevalence of Tools or Cheats can at best be described as a ballpark guess.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Online
Poker Tools are growing at a rapid rate, and because of their legality,
their growth is unchecked. It is estimated that 17% of Online Poker
Players use Online Poker Tools.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Online Poker Cheats exist in a
fast moving battle zone. The battle zone exists between their Creators
and the Poker Rooms. Once a Cheat achieves popularity, Poker Rooms
respond and install counter measures. It may be estimated that less then
1% of Players are attempting to use Online Poker Cheats.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><b>
<br />Conclusions</b></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The Online Poker Player has many options
available to improve their play. These options include Online Poker
Tools and Online Poker Cheats. The decision of Tools or Cheats is not
too dissimilar then the choice that athletes have to improve their game -
Vitamins or Steroids? For most of us who play to improve their games,
for leisure and fun - Online Poker Tools adequately fit the bill! Of
course there are those few out there that will continually explore the
shadows for a 'perceived' temporary edge. For those few, Online Poker
Cheats come and go.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Many people may be wondering what an online casino is. It is a
virtual replica of a land based casino, a place where people can play a
casino game (any casino game in fact, this being one of the advantages
of an online casino). Another advantage of this kind of casino is the
possibility to play a free online casino game.
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There are two types
of players: the ones that play for the money and the ones that play
just for fun. The second category now has another option. If they don't
want to go to the casino and spend money while playing, they can choose a
free online casino game. Now what's that? you might ask. A free online
casino game is a casino game that you can play for free, just like the
name says. The advantage of a free online casino game is that you can
enjoy yourself but you won't loose any money while doing so. These free
gaming sites can't be called online casinos because a casino involves
losing or winning money. When you start playing on this type of gaming
site you receive an online casino bonus in the form of credits, points
or even currency. This casino bonus will be your virtual money which you
can bet with. This is the beauty of a free online casino game: you
play, you enjoy yourself, but your pockets are as full as they were when
you started.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another advantage of a free online casino game is
that it eliminates the stress factor. Any person who plays in a real
casino will be under a lot of stress if he looses all of his money.
Fortunately this will not happen with a free online casino game. If you
loose all your credits, then you can just ask for more or wait another
24 hour for your credit to restore, depending on the rules of the site.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
People
have been trying to compare online casinos with land based casinos ever
since competition appeared between the two. This is a very tricky thing
to do because both have their advantages and disadvantages. It depends
on how every person looks at the problem. Suitability is questionable
when deciding between a normal casino or an online casino. If you want
to play a casino game for fun you should consider going to a land based
casino because it's a lot more fun. You'll be able to interact with
other people, meet a lot of interesting persons, maybe even persons like
you who come there for fun and not necessarily for the winnings. At a
normal casino you can be caught in the moment and do all kind of crazy
things; it's not necessary to play the games. You can just go there walk
around, enjoy your drink and go home.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the other hand the
online casino experience is different. Most of the players prefer it not
for fun necessarily, except when you play a free online casino game,
but for the financial improvements. Usually people that play at an
online casino play for the money. The experience is a lot colder, you
won't be able to interact with anyone, you won't be able to meet anyone,
and you basically play to earn money. So, depending on what you want,
you can make a choice.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The thing with online casinos is that
everything happens a lot faster and that is absolutely understandable
because one of the defining proprieties of the Internet is speed. This
speed can be a good thing, but it usually means otherwise because it
increases the losing of money. This is one of the reasons more and more
people stop playing online. So, to stop people from giving up their
favorite virtual games, a new concept has been introduced: the online
casino bonus. This online casino bonus doesn't have a real life
equivalent, like a casino bonus or something else; it's a strictly
online bonus. This online casino bonus is a sum of money the casino
gives you when you deposit money into an account. It's virtual money
which you can use to play. An online casino bonus can come in different
forms, depending on the policy of the casino. It can be a fixed bonus,
which means you get a certain amount of money no matter what amount you
deposit.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another type of bonus is the variable bonus, this means
you gat a certain percent of the sum you deposit. The percentage is
different for each site - it can be 20% or 50%. Some casinos even give a
100% casino bonus. This is a way to get people back in the virtual game
rooms, but an online casino bonus means that you have to play by some
rules especially when you want to redraw your money. This is difficult
because when you get an online casino bonus you have to meet some
conditions which are not very easily accomplished. However, your efforts
will be rewarded.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There is a category of people who play online
just for the online casino bonus. They are called casino bonus hunters.
These people look for the sites where the casino bonus is the largest so
they can scam the casino. Being a bonus hunter is not a brilliant idea
because, when you get caught, all your rights are revoked and you won't
be able to get a bonus on that site again.</div>

<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn8KBGugy0LyM-2fB3oCka3xtvp4_KonDs4as7_BMZpwG7OnVYzGe1ZFVf0Q_aUDWrYogWBMRZNjjBiWN2PcUHhoDO3yV1JP47kwNDCUvIGAyH-8o5Wipja3AhEvEWle2tKdrIP4FNt-s/s1600/What+to+Look+For+in+Online+Poker+Sites.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjn8KBGugy0LyM-2fB3oCka3xtvp4_KonDs4as7_BMZpwG7OnVYzGe1ZFVf0Q_aUDWrYogWBMRZNjjBiWN2PcUHhoDO3yV1JP47kwNDCUvIGAyH-8o5Wipja3AhEvEWle2tKdrIP4FNt-s/s1600/What+to+Look+For+in+Online+Poker+Sites.jpg" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Online poker game websites have become more and more popular these
days as a casino establishment alternative. They are a convenient way of
playing a variety of poker games in the comfort of your own home. poker
websites make virtual poker games readily available to the beginner and
advanced poker player alike. However, there are a few things one should
consider when trying to choose the perfect poker website in which to
play this entertaining game. Safety is one key thing to consider when
looking to play poker games online and researching the site ahead of
time may make your poker play a bit safer than if you were to simply
jump right in without a second thought.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Secondly, another thing
that a prospective online poker player should look into with regard to
an online poker website prior to beginning play is good odds as people
who play this game online for money are looking to win. A third thing to
search for within poker websites relates to the type of poker games
that the websites are offering. Lastly, it is always good to do some
research with regard to what the betting limits will be prior to
choosing an poker website which you would like to utilize.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As
internet safety is becoming a more serious concern these days, it is
extremely important to know how your money will be exchanged before,
during and after the poker games and what financial information you are
going to have to give out in order to play poker online. In a world
where internet scams are overly present, it is important to make sure
that you are utilizing an poker website that is a secure website.
Therefore, it is important to know in advance that your financial
information will not be transmitted in such a manner where there may be
an opportunity for someone to get a hold of it and use it in a wrongful
manner. Checking into all available safety features prior to starting to
play poker on a particular website is definitely a smart move and one
which I highly recommend that you look into.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Another thing to look
for when choosing a particular poker website prior to playing this
wonderful card game is what type of odds are going to be present in the
online poker game. Online poker is a great way of having fun and maybe
making a little bit of money in the process; however, it is important to
know what your odds will be prior to sitting down at the virtual poker
table. You will most likely be able to research odds by going onto the
poker website which you are thinking about using and seeing what they
have to say on the rubject. If that particular website does not post any
odds information on it, then you might be better off moving on to
another site that does publish that type of information.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As there
are a variety of online poker games available to the beginner and
advanced online poker player alike, it is important to know what online
poker game websites offer with regard to particular types of poker
games. It will not do you any good to start using a poker game website
that only hosts a few types of poker games, especially if all of the
ones which the website offers are ones in which you may be unfamiliar
with. Therefore, it is best to research the poker website prior to
beginning a poker game so that you know what type of poker game will be
played. If you are unfamiliar with the type of poker game being played
but still want to give it a shot, why not try looking at a few other
websites that describe the type of poker game which is being played on
your chosen website. By doing a little research you will be able to
brush up on the rules of that particular game thereby increasing your
odds of winning.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since many individuals have a set amount in mind
that they wish to spend on entertainment such as online poker playing,
it is important to look at different online poker game websites to see
what their betting limits may be prior to utilizing a poker website. By
searching different poker websites you will be able to determine which
website best fits your means. By doing a little research up front you
are able to find out whether you want to use that particular website or
if another poker gaming website is more your speed. Therefore, checking
out the betting limits prior signing on with a particular online poker
game website is highly advisable for poker players wishing to play
online.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Because using the internet to peruse different online
poker game websites will only tell you so much, you should also consider
asking for recommendations from friends and family members. If you know
any friends or family members that play poker online for fun, you
should inquire whether or not they have any recommendations concerning
the better online poker game websites. This will allow you to gain
insight into what websites host the best odds, what ones have the lower
betting limits and things of that sort. It is also a good way of finding
out whether these individuals have had luck with a particular website
or have been not so lucky with regards to winning on another online
poker game website. Recommendations are a great way of retrieving some
background information prior to getting settled with one particular
poker website. Always consider your options prior to choosing an online
poker website because there will be ones that are better than other
websites.</div>

Online Casinos<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3QWEy2fKBsfru5xfBaSfZfULpW7EcZFI6hR_z5-yFoBGgDVTHKEmhIyekPWfHUcmIzdIvrU8DATJD5I9jBvkDQ-XLhsUXRNPCy2CGOlGZLy7Ac5ZbEypZFdFjdv48FSn2CxhDFdKkMXc/s1600/Land+Casinos+Vs.+Online+Casinos.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="181" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg3QWEy2fKBsfru5xfBaSfZfULpW7EcZFI6hR_z5-yFoBGgDVTHKEmhIyekPWfHUcmIzdIvrU8DATJD5I9jBvkDQ-XLhsUXRNPCy2CGOlGZLy7Ac5ZbEypZFdFjdv48FSn2CxhDFdKkMXc/s320/Land+Casinos+Vs.+Online+Casinos.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since the emergence of a few online casinos in 1996, the growth and
popularity of the online gambling industry has skyrocketed at a
phenomenal rate. There are currently thousands of online casinos
generating an estimated annual revenue of over USD $7,000,000,000. If
this figure is divided by 365 days, then it could be said that online
casinos generate an average of well over $19,000,000 in revenue every
single day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As the global internet population continues to grow,
and with internet gambling expanding into numerous non-English speaking
countries in Europe and Asia, it is safe to assume that the above
figures will continue to grow with no immediate signs of slowing down in
the near future.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In many cases, compared to a traditional land
based casino, an online casino has many advantages which have
contributed to its overall growth, popularity and success.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Multilingual:
Most of the popular online casinos offer multiple language support, so a
person who does not understand English is still able to gamble and
enjoy oneself without having to worry about language and communication
difficulties. Some of the languages offered at online casinos include:
Arabic, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish,
French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian,
Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and Turkish.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Currencies:
Unlike a land casino, many online casinos accept multiple currencies so
that two or more persons are able to play the same game using their own
currencies. A person living in Italy can purchase credit in Euro while a
person living in the United States can purchase credit in USD. This
removes the inconvenience and confusion of having to firstly convert an
unfamiliar currency to one's own currency before placing each bet.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Real
Money: Online gamblers play with real money, and as a result they are
more acutely aware of the value of their money as opposed to one who
plays with a stack of multi-coloured casino chips which don't seem to
have as much of an immediate value. Unlike a land casino where chips
don't seem to have as much value as real money, thus encouraging the
player to gamble away more money, an online casino displays the exact
amount of money in a player's account and as a result encourages the
player to take his/her money more seriously and not lose track of the
value of his/her money.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dress code: Online casinos don't have
dress codes. One can play in a business suit, dress, underwear, or
naked. Thus one does not have to worry about choosing what to wear and
dress according to one's social environment or weather forecast. Being
able to wear whatever one chooses gives the player a greater sense of
comfort and convenience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Food and Drinks: Unlike land casinos
which enforce certain eating and drinking rules, an online casino player
does not have to worry about what he/she can or cannot eat and drink
during a game. Thus an online gambler may play with greasy fingers while
drinking from a bottle of whisky without an objections from the casino.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Smoking:
Whether the player is a compulsive, chronic smoker or a non-smoker who
cannot bear the smell of cigarettes, one sets his/her own environmental
conditions and does not have to worry about the environmental
preferences of other players.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Free Casino Chips: In an effort to
attract players, numerous online casinos offer players free casino money
to play with. Free online casino bonuses can range from $10 to $2400.
Offering potential players free no-deposit or match-play casino bonuses
presents a tremendous incentive for players to register real player
accounts with these online casinos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Less Expensive: If the land
casino is located in another city, then the gambler would need to take
into account transport, accommodation and meal costs, while a person
living near a casino would have to take into account transport costs.
Depending on how far away from the land casino the player is living,
these costs can run into thousands of dollars, whereas an online player
can gamble from virtually any computer with an internet connection.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Player
Support: Online casinos usually offer better customer service in the
sense that they may usually be contacted via telephone, fax, live 24/7
live chat support and email. In addition to this, they provide the
player with detailed instructions on how to play each game, whereas a
land based casino does not usually provide the player instructions on
how to play the games.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Privacy: The sense of privacy available via
online casinos greatly exceeds the sense of privacy offered by land
based casinos in the sense that online casinos do not take photographs
or film footage of players. One is able to enjoy the games without
having to worry about what the photographic records or video footage
will be used for. In addition to this, one is able to play at an online
casino without the knowledge of any other person who is not a casino
employee.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Safety: In many cases, it is actually safer for a person
to play at an online casino than at a land based casino because the
risk of the player being assaulted or robbed greatly decreases when one
plays from the safety of one's home. This not only applies to persons
who win large amounts of money in the presence of other people, but also
to persons who attend casinos with cash money to play with.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Weather:
One does not have to worry about the weather conditions or how to dress
for it when playing from the comfort of one's own home. There is no
need to worry about the wet and slippery road conditions when it's
raining or taking an hour long trip to the casino on a hot summer day.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ill
Health: Whether the player is suffering from back pain or diarrhea and
as a result is unable to attend the land casino, or whether he/she is
simply trying to avoid catching the flu from othdr persons, ill health
does not appear to represent a significant obstacle to those who wish to
gamble online.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Less Distractions: Land casinos usually have more
distractions which aim to decrease the player's focus on the game and
separate the player from his/her money. Some of the distractions which
land casinos utilise include glamorous flashing lights, machine sounds,
free alcohol, large mirrors, the absence of wall clocks, windows or any
indicators of time so that the player will lose track of time and spend
more time in the casino. Unlike land casinos, online casinos do not
utilise such distractions.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Play for Free: Online casinos offer
players the opportunity to play the casino games for free. Thus one is
able to practice and get a feel for the casino games before deciding if
and whether to play for real money. Land casinos do not offer such an
option and expect all players to play for real money with no opportunity
to practice for free.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Relaxed Atmosphere: An online betting
session is usually much more relaxed with no time limit or pressure to
perform, compared to land casino betting. An online casino player may
play a game at his/her own pace without having to quickly make his/her
move because he/she is worried about the dealer or other players rushing
him along.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Anywhere at Anytime: Online casinos may be played from
anywhere at anytime. Whether the player is playing at 2.00 a.m. or 2.00
p.m., from the comfort of one's one home, or from a laptop inside a
camping tent, online casinos may be accessed from any computer with an
internet connection, anytime during the day or night.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Shyness:
Internet gambling seems to appeal a great deal to persons who are very
shy and do not wish to interact with strangers in a land casino.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Equal
treatment: Whether the player is wealthy or not, male or female, young
or old, Asian or American, online casinos do not discriminate against or
show special favor to specific groups of players. Every player is
valued and treated equally without having to feel inferior because
he/she is betting $50 when another player is betting $5000. It would be
difficult to imagine a Hollywood celebrity and the average Joe receiving
the same type of treatment from a land based casino.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Better
Payouts: Online casinos don't need to employ dealers, buy gaming tables
and slot machines, purchase a casino building, manage a bar and
restaurant, hire security guards, etc, and as a result they usually have
much lower overhead costs and better payouts than land casinos.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Due
to the above-mentioned set of reasons, it is not very difficult to
understand why online casinos have proven to be so popular among
gamblers from all walks of life.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
