Getting Started - Choosing an online casino

With so many online casinos available on the web today, choosing the right one to play at can be something of a minefield. We only promote reputable casinos at The VIP Card Club - see our list of online casinos for reviews and information on a selection of those available.

Even with our recommendation, it is still important to find a casino that suits your needs. Before you make a selection and start playing, have a look around the website of the online casino you are considering and check a few things out. Firstly, always take the time to read the terms and conditions. Make sure the casino accepts players from your jurisdiction and that the deposit and withdrawal options are suitable for you. Customer support is an important part of playing online, so check that there is 24 hour support available.

Have a look at the games available and, if available, the screenshots of these games. You don’t want to download the casino software, make a deposit and find out they don’t have the casino games you like! If you like what you see, go ahead and try them out.

If there is a sign-up bonus, again make sure you fully understand the terms and conditions. Some casino bonuses will be added directly to your account, some only after fulfilling certain criteria. Some online casinos will request you e-mail them before they add the bonus to your account. Not all games are always eligible for the wagering requirements, so be aware of that too. Taking the time to be clear on the conditions will ensure you don’t miss out on any bonus you may be able to collect, and that you don’t spend time and money chasing a bonus you’re not eligible for.

If there is anything you are unsure about, send an e-mail to customer support. That’s what they are there for! It’s also a chance to assess the response times of their support and find out how helpful they are.

Remember, it’s your money and you want to enjoy it!

As part of our service to our members, if any player does get involved with a dispute at an online casino they signed up to via one of our links, we will always try and help out using our extensive contacts within these organisations.

Have fun!
