By nature many of us are intimidated by the unknown. For example, take this conversation between Daniel and Mr. Miyagi before a tournament:

Daniel: All right, so what are the rules here?
Mr. Miyagi: Don’t know. First time you, first time me.
Daniel: Well, I figured you knew about this stuff. I figured you went to these before. Oh great, I’m dead. I am dead. You told me you fought a lot.
Mr.Miyagi: For life, not for points.

Be afraid of a Karate kicking black belt but not the online casino! Here’s some simple tricks of the trade to keep in mind during your search for your ultimate online casino.

What’s your game of choice? Determine your favorite software. Software choice narrows down the giant laundry list of online casinos to a few manageable “to do’s”. Take a look at the bonuses they offer. Glancing at the terms and conditions can give you some great insight. Are the play through requirements outrageous or are you having difficulty even locating the T’s&C’s? This is a good indicator of what’s to come.

If you have questions, communicate with the casino. Does the online casino offer live chat? How is the response time? It’s a given that your representative will be named Jack or Jill but if they can’t even tell you what software the casino uses, you might want to skip it. If they aren’t familiar with the bonuses offered on their home page, run!

Now what I’m about to tell you is key. Read player reviews. Sure there are disgruntled players with nothing but negativity but weigh the overall player experiences. Were withdrawal requests honored timely or were their accounts locked with winnings never to be seen again?

In the online casino world, the best trick you can pull out of your hat is knowledge.

Online casino tricks, also know as terms and conditions, have had us all confused at one time or another. Unfortunately, all the information you may be looking for is not in one place. I envision the casinos laughing their heads off as players click away searching their site for the terms. Picture it, all the fat cats sitting at a round table laughing and wheezing while we search high and low for details on a bonus.

These meanies have the nerve to use big bonuses to lure me in and then hide the rules? Oh nah uh! Going in blind is not my style and it’s a dirty trick to say the least. Online casinos keep this info under lock and key giving its players no chance of winning.  In reality the house always has the edge but it’s up to us not to fall for their scheming ways when it comes to the rules. Many online casinos have general terms and conditions and bonus terms and conditions. If you’re lucky enough to locate both versions you still may hit a brick wall.

I ensure that I know the play through requirements, which games are allowed and whether or not a deposit is required prior to redeeming a bonus. If it seems too good to be true, it just might be. If I could get back the countless hours I’ve spent with live chat regarding bonuses I could be 21 again. Let’s raise a glass to being 21 again and uncovering those pesky T’s&C’s.
