Online gambling is a nice alternative if you still want to gamble and can’t go to a nearby casino or to Las Vegas. Of course, we prefer to gamble in the many casinos that you will find in Las Vegas.
Why online gambling?
Online gambling has advantages over gambling in a land-based casino.
What are these advantages?
- One of the biggest advantages of online gambling is that you can do it at home. You save on transport costs, parking costs as well as often on drinks and food. Behind a laptop, Ipad or smartphone you can play safely online. At least if you do this in a legal online casino. You don’t have to be annoyed by other guests in the casino. If you win big, the amount will be in your account and you don’t have to go out on the street with it. We regularly play online and prefer a large screen for a better experience.
- The range of games from the various online casinos in your country is much larger than you will find in a land-based casino. Online you will find many more slots and different forms of roulette, blackjack and other casino games.
- You can always play your favorite game or play your favorite slot. In some land-based casinos, it is sometimes so crowded that there is no room behind your favorite slot machine. Online, you don’t have this problem. In Vegas, you also have this problem a lot less.
- The slots in an online casino pay out much better than in a landbase casino. In the online casinos, the RTP, Return To Player, is also displayed on a slot machine. This payout percentage is shown in a % and is often between 94% and 97% online. This means that in the long run, 94 to 97 cents of every 1 euro will flow back to the players.
- In online casinos, you can play with much lower stakes. At slots, this is possible from as little as 5 cents (all lines).
- In an online casino, you can win a lot with low stakes on some slots. Up to 150,000 times your bet!
- At a number of online casinos you can also play slots without putting your own money. You then play in the Demo mode. This way you can see if the slot is fun. Because you get ‘fake play money’ you can also play the high roller for a while. It doesn’t cost you anything and if your balance is empty, you close the slot. Start this one or another and you’ll get a new balance that you can play with for free.
- Online casinos regularly throw around bonuses and promotions. You can take advantage of this, but pay close attention to the conditions!
Of course, there are also disadvantages to online gambling.
Why not gamble online?
Of course, online gambling also has disadvantages, dangers.
Here are the most important ones!
- It’s less cozy. You often play alone and can’t enjoy the atmosphere of a real casino. If you win big, you can’t share your joy together.
- Because you play alone, you don’t have anyone to talk to you if you gamble too much or gamble with too much booze. Unfortunately, this problem is also common in many casinos in Las Vegas. Where the booze is free if you gamble enough.
- If you don’t gamble in a legal online casino, there is a chance that you will not be paid anything in the event of (large) winnings. So only play in an online casino that has a license.
- Because online gambling is very accessible and easy on different devices, you are much more likely to play more often. To limit this, we only play behind our PCs and not on Ipad or on our smartphones. We have also set limits!
- You can gamble online all the time ; twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week.
Protect yourself and set time limits. - You can bet low amounts, but also very high amounts that are actually irresponsible for a lot of players. We usually play with 10 and 20 cents. We are online not High Rollers π
- You may be more likely to become addicted to online gambling then gambling in a land-based casino.
- In some countries, you can gamble online as early as the age of 18. We prefer not to see young people between the ages of 18 and 24 gambling online.
Where Can You Gamble Online?
You will find hundreds of online casinos online, but only gamble in a legal online casino that is licensed by the country you are a resident of or nationality. In some countries, online gambling is not regulated. Then only play in casinos with reliable reputations.

Is Online Gambling Safe and Fun?
Online gambling is safe when you play at legal online casinos and at online casinos with a good reputation. It also stays safe if you don’t lose yourself in the game. So don’t gamble drunk or under the influence of drugs! Only gamble with the money you can afford to lose. Agree on how much time and money you want to spend on online gambling.
We do not encourage online gambling, but if you do this, do it safely so that it remains fun. We prefer to use our gambling budget for Vegas because there is nothing better if you like gambling to do this in the most beautiful gambling city in the world and that is of course Las Vegas!
