Land Based Vs. Online Casinos
 Online casinos started emerging in 1996 and the
growth and popularity of the online gambling industry
has skyrocketed since then at a phenomenal rate. There
are currently thousands of online casinos generating
estimated annual revenue of over USD $8,000,000,000.
You’re reading that right, it’s BILLION. As the trend
grows, there is no slowing down foreseen for the future
and in many cases, an online casino has many advantages
over a land based casino.
One of the reasons is because online, several
languages can be chose such as Chinese, Czech, Danish,
Dutch, English, Estonian, Finnish, French, German,
Greek, Hebrew, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian,
Polish, Portuguese, Russian, Spanish, Swedish and
Turkish. This makes it easy for anyone around the world
to play within their own dialect.
Unlike a land casino, many online casinos accept
multiple currencies so that two or more people are able
to play the same game using their own currency. A person
living in Italy can purchase credits in Euro while a
person living in the United States can purchase credits
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.
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-colored 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.
You can wear whatever you want. Heck, if you want to
play naked, by all means, it’s ALLOWED and you don’t
have to pay for food and drinks because you’re home.
Open the fridge and you’re golden! Grab a beer or a
glass of wine and sit in your jammies while playing
poker! You can’t do that in a land based, can you?
 Online you get free 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 up to $3,000 or more. 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.
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.
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.
Online casinos may be played from anywhere at
anytime. Whether the player is playing at 3:00 a.m. or
3:00 p.m., from the comfort of your home, or from a
laptop inside a tent, online casinos may be accessed
from any computer with an internet connection, anytime
during the day or night.
