Choosing a Top Online Casino

Gambling online can be a ton of fun, and have a lot of excitement, but is important that you make sure you're playing at the best online casino possible. Many online casino guides will help you choose a top online casino, but often times they're affiliate sites that are just trying to get a commission. We'll give you some tips on choosing a top casino right now, and you can be sure that we won't have any bias.

The first thing you want to do when you're choosing a casino is to make sure that they're a reputable online casino. The first good indicator of this is their website. Does it look professional and well designed, or does it look like it was just thrown together overnight? One way to be pretty certain that an online casino is for real is to do a Google search of just their casino name. If tons of reviews show up for the casino, then you can be sure that they're a legitimate site.

The next thing to consider is if the casino accepts players from your location. Many casinos don't allow players from the United States, so if you are in the USA it is important that you check this out to see if you're allowed to play at the site. It's one of the worst feelings ever to submit a lengthy sign up form, only to see a "We do not allow players from your jurisdiction."

If you decide to play at one of the new online casinos, you should ask around at a casino forum to make sure that they're a legitimate site. Forums such as www.gambling-forum.com will tell you if a site is legitimate or not.

Choosing an Online Casino Bonus

If you decide to try out online gambling you'll find it very different from gambling in a brick and mortar casino. One of the biggest differences is since the online casinos have little overhead costs, they can afford to give their players sign up bonuses and reload bonuses to entice them to play at their casino versus a different one. Because every casino is offering a competing bonus, it can be confusing as to which casino bonus is the best. This article will help you out to choose the best online casino bonus for you.

One important characteristic to first analyze is the bonus' size. If you are just looking to try out a site, and aren't going to be depositing much, don't bother signing up for a huge bonus. Offers that exceed $300 are going to have tough requirements, so if you're only depositing $50 or $100, try to find a bonus that is around that size, because those will be easiest to clear. If you are deciding to deposit a 4 figure amount, then just make sure you understand how hard it is to clear the large bonuses.

Besides the bonus size, the MOST important thing to analyze is how hard it is to clear the bonus. Many of the massive deposit bonuses have really tough requirements on them. When you are analyzing a bonus, make sure to check out what the playthrough requirements are. What this means is how many times you will have to wager the money before it is released. So, if you deposit $100 and receive a $100 bonus, and it has a 15x playthrough requirement, you'll have to make $1500 in bets before the bonus money is released.

Huge Jackpot at Blackjack Ballroom

With increasing competition in the online casino market, there is more and more pressure on online casinos to offer better bonuses, better comp programs, and finally, bigger jackpots. Blackjack Ballroom is the perfect exhibit of this, as they have recently upped all of their progressive slot jackpot payouts, as well as added tons of new progressive slot variations to their site. As a result of this, they've had a big increase in traffic and new sign-ups, and this has resulted in them having one of their biggest jackpot hits ever.

Klaus E., an online player at Blackjack Ballroom, recently made a $.50 bet on a progressive slot machine. His return on the investment was quite healthy, as he hit a $5.5 million progressive jackpot on the Mega-Moolah progressive slot machine he was playing. This is the biggest payout Blackjack Ballroom has ever made, and to celebrate the event they are flying Klaus out to Australia to celebrate with the Blackjack Ballroom executives.

Once Klaus makes the trip from Finland, his home country, to Sydney, he will receive his check in person for $5.5 million big ones. A CasinoRewards representative welcomed Klaus into the "million dollar club" and stated that he looked forward to meeting him and presenting him with his massive check.
