I remember when I first signed up and tried online casino gaming, it was terribly exciting, but I would have liked someone to show me a thing or two and give me some advice. I've been gambling for over 10 years, I've tried almost everything and unfortunately I've experienced a lot of it first hand.
The most important thing is to choose a legal, secure casino, as you are literally playing with your money, giving your credit card details and, if you are lucky, you will want to see the amount you win paid out. From this point of view, it's easy, because we have already (and continue to) collect, check and test all the casinos where it's safe to play.
The registration process is quick and easy everywhere, we just need to enter our basic details, our address and we're almost there. All gambling operators have a KYC procedure. KYC is short for Know Your Customer, and in English it stands for customer identification.
This is mandatory everywhere, including checking that you are over 18 and that you are a valid person. You usually have to send in a photo ID or other official document and the check usually takes 5-30 minutes. Some casinos require this check immediately after registration, while others only require it when you make a withdrawal.
If you register successfully, in the vast majority of cases you will be taken to the deposit area where you can choose between several payment methods. I usually use the credit card payment method, except for crypto casinos.
You may legitimately ask: how much money should I top up?
It's different for each person, as our financial circumstances are different, but I usually recommend a minimum deposit of 50-100 EUR, if you play with less than that you may run out of money too soon before the prizes are paid. Of course, it is possible that you will hit the jackpot on the first spin, but this is unlikely.
It's important to remember that you can only use your own credit card to make a deposit, you can't borrow a relative's or friend's card. The name on the card must match the name you entered when you registered. You can also only make a withdrawal in your own name.
At slot machines, we can choose the stake we want to spin with, meaning how much we spend on a single game. It depends on the manufacturer and the game, but generally, the minimum stake is 0.1 EUR, while the maximum can go up to as much as 1000 EUR. The amount someone sets as their stake depends on many factors, but it’s important to adjust it to your current budget—for example, if you have 100 EUR, it’s not worth spinning at a 10 EUR stake because that gives you only 10 chances to win. However, if you’re bold, there’s the potential to hit it big.
We’ll cover bonuses and how to use them in a separate article, which you can access by clicking here.
The casinos listed with us offer thousands of slot machines and hundreds of live games, ranging from classic Roulette and Blackjack to newer games like Monopoly, Crazy Time, and others.
It’s worth noting that if you have both a bonus amount and real money, the system usually starts spending your real money first, and that doesn’t yet count toward the wagering requirements.
When it comes time to withdraw money, there are a few things to keep in mind. Most places have a payout limit, typically between 10-20 EUR, and some also specify how many active withdrawals you can have at once. Additionally, it’s good to be aware that some casinos may charge fees if you request withdrawals too frequently (daily or even multiple times a day). I should add that I’ve never run into this myself, as they only use this to protect against outrageously unreasonable cases.
Casinos have one final psychological trick up their sleeve to keep you from withdrawing your money and encourage you to keep playing: withdrawals can often be canceled for a certain period of time. This is great if you accidentally hit the button, but you need to be careful not to fall into the trap and give back your hard-earned winnings.
In summary, gambling at a casino is great entertainment, and you can win serious money, but only if you play smart. Always gamble with money you wouldn’t miss—money you’d otherwise spend on entertainment anyway.
