Online Gambling Virgin?
Ten Pearls to Playing Blackjack Online
1) Not all online casinos have the same rules for blackjack. Be careful of casinos with rules that lower the odds for the player.
2) Understand the terms and conditions of the bonus offer before playing. Confirm the bonus before playing (casinos frequently change the terms without informing me!) Make sure you fulfill all wagering requirements before attempting a withdrawal. Here's an example of a wager requirement: Planet Luck requires 8x's wager of deposit and bonus. So if you deposit $100, you get $100 free. You have to wager $200 x 8, or $1600 dollars. All bets count, win or lose. So, if you play 320 hands of blackjack at $5 per hand, you'd meet wager requirements.
3) Play only at reputable casinos to avoid problems. Use sites such as OBG to find reputable online casinos. See casino rankings.
4) Use blackjack strategy cards to guide your betting. See blackjack strategy. Take your time while playing, use the cards (you can print them out). This is a major advantage of online gambling.
5) Consider opening up a Neteller or Firepay account prior to playing online. These are cash cards that will make it much easier to deposit and make withdrawals. Some credit cards are no longer accepting online gaming transactions. See online banking.
6) Use electronic wire transfers, neteller, or firepay for withdrawals. We wish we knew this before. Waiting up to 30 days for a check for 2 grand really dampens the party!
7) Document all transactions carefully. This will help if there are any discrepancies.
8) Cash in your winnings once you have tripled your money. If you're super aggresive like me, only cash in 2/3 of your winnings, then try to win more with the leftover cash.
9) Play at many different casinos to reap the benefit of the intoductory bonuses.
10) Your still an online gambling virgin until you have sex while playing blackjack online! Maybe you should do something about that... Class Dismissed!
