Tips For Playing Online:

Tips for winning at online casino games must always be construed as TIPS and tips only. There are no sure-fired ways to win that ever elusive jackpot but there are some helpful tips for the online gambler to get more from their dollar and ensure a more favorable gaming experience.

These tips will definitely ensure not breaking the bank, possibly longer game play, and helpful ways to find that cashout button before its to late.

1) Lets start with the most obvious of all: DO NOT DEPOSIT MORE THAN YOU CAN AFFORD TO LOSE, YES, LOSE. Set the expectation of a loss before you turn your computer on and, perhaps, an unexpected win will feel that much more rewarding. Dipping into the rent or grocery money
is a first tall-tell sign that you may have a problem and want to seek counseling. (see bottum of page for problem gambling support)

2) Set an alloted time to play, then STOP!! When at a land-based casino we have to leave for one reason or the other, the same should apply for online wagering. Sitting in your jammies in the comfort of your own home makes it especially hard to walk away. Even if you have not played through your entire deposit, shut the computer off. This allows for further play at another time and saves you money in the long run.

3) Considering deposit bonues: If you are new-comer to the online industry, claiming a new member bonus guarantees you longer play and allows for experimentation on a whole host of offered games. The terms and conditions for these bonuses are quite detailed and somewhat difficult to understand for the newbie. There are playthrough limits that are strictly enforced, restricted games, there may be a cashout limit, a real cash deposit before withdrawing any winnings, and future penalties for bonus abuse, just to name a few. Be sure to contact support for additional information as needed. Its always good reference to read casino reviews offered here at NoLuckNeeded, post questions and ask advice from the more seasoned player.

4) Cashouts: We all, at one time or another, have regreted not finding that all important CASHOUT BUTTON. The number one objective is to win money and to bring it home. If lady luck is on your side, set an amount from your total winnings. withdraw from cashier, and get out of the game. Another helpful tip is to walk away from the game - if even for an hour. This gives you time to reconsider any further wagering. Most casinos will allow you to leave a balance set apart from your withdrawl (unless it is a No Deposit bonus or free chip) so that you can return at a later time without having to make another deposit. Remember, there is always a hold time set by the individual casino before processing your withdrawl(ON AVERAGE 24 - 48 HOURS). The only exception is that some casinos allow you to "flush" your cashout, which removes it from pending and from the reversal period. Ask a casino support person to "flush" your cashout. Some online casinos only flush for VIP players. The reversal period is a golden opportunity on behalf of the casino to get you to reverse your cashout and spend your winnings. Once the withdrawn funds are pulled from your account, wait times vary. Check the casino's cashier page to see their cashout times. Most good online casinos pay in 1-5 business days.

* Virtual accounts like Quick tender, PayPal and others, may charge fees to transfer funds into your bank account. Make sure you read the terms of use to avoid surprises later.

5) Try different games: There is nothing worse than spinning your way to a big loss all because you think that game is going to pay off. Try different games and give yourself a chance and experience the thrill that other games offer. You can judge the game yourself by determining how many bonus rounds or free spins you have hit. If it has been a considerable amount of time since you have hit, chances are the game is a "dud" for the time being. Move on and give your luck a try at another game.

6) HAVE FUN. Afterall, that's the name of the game.

7) Last but not least: Recognize when you may have a problem and seek counseling. Spending your bill money, skipping work or school, fraudulant activity, and lying/deception are just a few indicators that you may need help.
