All online casino gamers, here at Everygame Casino and at all reputable online casinos, have questions.  Some questions get asked so often that they fall into the category of FAQ.  So, here we will ask and answer a few online casino FAQs

What Makes an Online Casino Reputable?

There are a few aspects to this question.  One has to do with monetization.  A casino might come online that doesn’t have enough money to either offer the best deposit bonuses and other promotions or enough money to actually honor its financial commitments.

Another has to do with the casino’s withdrawal protocol.  All online casinos ask for extra identification when a gamer asks to withdraw money.  This is to protect the gamer from online hackers who want to take what is not theirs.

An online casino can be considered reputable if its customer service office responds quickly, answers gamers’ questions, resolves issues well, and always treats gamers with patience and respect.

A reputable online casino will publish its terms and conditions page in easy-to-read language, even as the terms and conditions are legal policies in full.

A reputable online casino will have a blog area where they publish articles that are designed to help gamers get the most fun out of gaming and, at the same time, increase their chances of winning.

Finally, a truly reputable online casino cares deeply about its gamers' gambling activity.  They have a system in place to help gamers who bet beyond their means.  These casinos belong to organizations that help gamblers with a gambling problem.

An online casino will often reiterate that it sees its ‘product” as gaming, not gambling, and that the goal for gamers should be to maximize fun and entertainment.

Is it Safe to Send Money to an Online Casino?

This is an extension of the previous discussion.  A reputable online casino has two elements that make it safe to send your money to your own account at the casino.  First, Everygame Casino and all good casinos have massive computer banks where they have the capacity to keep track of billions of data points in real time.

A poorly monetized online casino may not have this capacity, and some gamers’ money could be “misplaced”.

The second element is state-of-the-art encryption software, which scrambles data so hackers can’t access it.  This kind of protection is used by all online businesses that take money.  So, there is great encryption software around and not great encryption software.

Here at Everygame Online Casino, we use the best encryption software.  That is what makes it safe to send money to your casino account at Everygame.

What is the Wagering Requirement?

This term refers to online bonus offers.  These offers can run into the thousands of dollars, a sum no land-based casino can come close to matching.  Our Welcome Package has bonuses that total $5555!  We also offer huge bonuses and free spins in our promotions.

All deposit bonuses at all online casinos have a wagering requirement because otherwise the incentive to cash out as soon as the bonus is credited

It would be too great for many people to pass up.  The wagering requirement is a factor of the bonus that a player has to bet before he or she can withdraw winnings.  A wagering requirement of 30x the bonus is considered fair.

Why Do Online Casinos Offer Bonuses?

The most obvious reason is that gamers like to play with a casino’s money.  Another reason is simple competition.  When one online casino began to offer bonuses, all other casinos that could afford to do so (remember the pitfalls of incomplete monetization) followed suit.

Online casino bonuses are a collective way to generate interest in online casino gaming.  Land-based casinos generate interest by having bells and whistles and bright lights, by offering free food and free alcohol, and often offering cheap prices in the hotel.  But they can’t offer bonuses.

Online casinos also have hundreds of thousands of gamers signed up to play.  Taken collectively, the number of registered players at online casinos runs into the hundreds of millions.  These players want to be pampered in some way, and the best way online casinos have found to pamper players is to offer great deposit bonuses.

How Does the Casino Keep Track of All of the Bonuses?

Everygame Casino, and all reputable casinos, have large computers that can keep track of gobs of information in real time.  That’s why every gamer has a login PIN.  Then, when you want to take a deposit bonus, you enter the bonus code.  The bonus code is the same for all players, but the logins are all different.

That’s how all online casinos keep track of bonuses, wins and losses, comp points, and every other data point you want the casino to keep track of.

What is the Random Number Generator?

This is software that determines the outcome of every hand, spin, throw of the dice, and so on.  The RNG is like a perpetual motion machine; it is always running, and a gamer will set the RNG to “stop” at a given interval after the gamer sets it in motion.

This sounds complicated, but it really isn’t.  Look at the RNG as something a digital game needs to work.  The RNG decides what the next card will be, or what the next number will be, and so on.

Are There Any Strategies for Winning at Casino Games?

There are strategies in some games.  These are basically games of skill, such as blackjack and video poker.

One very pertinent strategy of sorts is to play at a good online casino.  In slots, a good online casino such as Everygame Casino will have a return to player rate of about 97% while most land-based casinos calibrate the random number generator in their slots to produce a return to player rate of 90% or less.

At a good online casino, the pay scale in video poker for a full house and a flush will be 9-6, while at many land-based casinos, the same hands get a payout of 8-5 or even 7-5.

Slots have what is called volatility.  High volatility means that relatively few gamers share the winnings, and the wins are also relatively high.  Low volatility is the exact opposite.  Depending on your bankroll, it might be a good strategy to play low volatility slots.

Baccarat is a great game of chance that was made famous in James Bond movies. It looks like a game of skill, but it plays like a game of chance.  The best strategy in Baccarat is to always bet on the Banker!

What Does Strategy Mean in Blackjack and Video Poker?

It means accepting statistical analysis, which has been done on millions of hands in both games.  Sometimes the correct play is counterintuitive.  Still, good strategy calls for making the counterintuitive play.

How Long Does It Take to Learn Strategy in Online Casino Games?

It takes some time, but not an inordinate amount of time.  A good online casino such as Everygame offers free play so gamers can practice as they learn about a game they are unfamiliar with or are learning strategy in a game of skill.

Why Does Everygame Have So Many Deposit Methods?

Basically, we have about one million gamers signed up to play here at Everygame.  Every gamer has his or her favorite way to send money over the internet.  It’s really just that simple.  Even players who prefer to use an e-wallet might have an e-wallet they prefer.

Banking with cryptocurrencies is the latest trend in money transfers.  We allow deposits through Bitcoin and Litecoin.  It may take several more years to find out if cryptocurrencies are just a fad or the real deal.

Is Everygame the Best Online Casino?

Of course, we think so.  The fact is that many excellent online casinos offer great games, great promotions and bonuses, excellent customer service, a large blog with helpful articles, safe and secure banking, and much more.

Everygame Casino is certainly at the top of any list of the top online casinos.
