Tips on Selecting the Best Online Casinos

Selecting CasinosI can’t believe how long it’s been since I started this blog! Almost a year later, I finally get to write my first post. Why did it take me so long? Well, I wanted to write about so many things but couldn’t make up my mind which ones were the most important topics to start with. I’ve finally decided to start with tips on how to pick the best online casinos. Based on my gambling experience, I’ve come up with these 3 key points:

Bonuses

I know most of you are interested in the freebies they can get, so I’m not going to pretend there’s anything more important than that. I’m not going to create suspense, either. Online casinos usually you a 100% match of your first deposit. Now, here’s a questions for you. Casino A is giving you £100 as a bonus and Casino B is giving you £500. Which one do you choose? If you think that the correct answer is casino B, no doubt, you’ve taken the bait already. It’s not just about the amount of the freebie, you see. You gotta check its terms first. What use would a huge bonus be if you can’t turn it over as many times as you should within the required time frame? You’ll be left without the bonus and without the winnings from it.

Games

So, you’ve registered and you’re ready to play. Exciting roulette variations is what you’re after but your casino only has two RNG roulettes and one of them is American Roulette, which nobody would want to play because of its high house edge and there’re a few live tables but they aren’t available on your mobile. Well, you’ve broken the second rule of choosing a casino site – you haven’t made sure there’s enough games you’d want to play. Before you commit, see that there are plenty of varieties of the game you like and other games as well – for when you want to try something else.

Safety

With the hundreds of online casinos in the UK, you’re very likely to come across ones that aren’t legal. They promise you huge bonuses, terrific conditions, amazing freebies, thousands of games, etc. But if it sounds too good to be true then it probably isn’t. Make sure the casino is regulated and safe before you disclose personal information, not after you’ve lost money and possibly had your identity stolen. It’s easy, just look for the seal of the UK Gambling Commission and other regulatory organisations that monitor the fairness of the operator and the games.

Conclusion

So, there you are – three simple points to remember. But if you want to be perfectly safe and get all the best tips on the latest promotions and be ahead of the regular Joe who likes to gamble once in a while, you should know there are other things you can do to perfect your game.

Welcome!

cubeI’ve been a gambler for the last fifteen years. Admittedly, for the most part I’ve been pretty casual, mostly because I feel like if I let myself go I’ll just end up bankrupting myself. My rule of thumb is to never spend more than a hundred on gambling per month regardless of how much I win, and so far that’s helped curb any sort of addiction. Anyway, I’m getting off-track. My point is that I may have gambled only a little, but I’ve gambled for a reeeeaally long time. I’ve seen trends come and go, and I’ve seen the market change. I was there when online casinos first became a big thing, with their awkward ads and hilariously bad designs, and I’m still here years later gambling in those very same places, now reinvented for a modern audience.

The thing is, during all this time, I never really managed to find myself a site, or a blog, which I managed to truly love. My intention was to find a place that I could follow regularly, a place that would evolve alongside me as a gambler, a place that would keep me informed with all the latest news about the casino world while also not being afraid to share a few opinions, a place that was ready to give me a hand when I struggled and wasn’t afraid to ask questions to its readers when those were worth asking. And let me tell you, I went through a whole ton of blogs and websites, but most of them were pretty bad. I was complaining about this to my friend a few days ago, and she said “You know, instead of whining about it, why don’t you just make your own?” And you know what – she’s right. After fifteen years in offline and online casinos, I’ve got enough experience to finally create my dream blog myself and help out others the way I wanted to be helped years ago.

With that said, welcome to Freedomresist, a place for online gambling and more! I hope you enjoy your stay!
