A lot of people, books, and web sites claim to have a fool proof winning system that is guaranteed to help you beat a casino, we’re not one of them and suggest you don’t listen to anyone with such ridiculous claims as they are probably being less than honest. But we do have a few pointers and simple rules to keep in mind when trying to win big bucks at an online casino.

Play with money you can afford to lose

It’s always a good idea to set a budget for what you can and cannot lose. Knowing when to pull out is one of the most important aspects of successful gambling. It’s not always fun or easy to quit, that’s why it’s important to establish this before hand.

Know the games you’re playing

If you don’t know how to play a game, chances are you shouldn’t be betting your money trying to beat it. Stick with what you know and learn the other games eventually. We have great sections with rules and tips on some of the more popular games, also the casino will have a full set of specific rules for each game they offer, there is usually a help button somewhere near the bottom of the casino interface. Also all of the casinos on this site offer a “fun mode”, where they give you a big bankroll just to play around with. This is always great way to warm-up and get a feel for the casino.

Make bets based on the size of your bankroll

The bets you make should be relative to how much money you’re willing to spend. However, the longer you play the less chance you have of being successful, so sometimes it’s a good idea to bet big and go for a big win.

Decide your limits before hand and stick to them

We all have different amounts of money. Some high rollers, some not so high rollers. It’s okay to play for small bucks if that’s all you have, if this is the case we suggest some of the cheaper progressive slots. A good rule of thumb is to have enough money to cover 25 bets on the game you’re playing.

If you start losing, step away for another day

If you lose 5 or more in a row maybe it’s just not your day. You can always keep your money in an online casino for a rainy day. Split it up, don’t go for it all in one day.

Don’t play if you’re tired or drinking

If you’ve been drinking or you’re tired you won’t be able to make the same decisions you could if you were sober or well rested. I must say though, it sure makes for a lot of fun!

When you’re winning, increase your bets gradually

It’s very tempting to increase your bet significantly if you find yourself winning a few in a row, this is also a great way to lose it all again. Every bet you make should be in moderation.

The shorter you play, the better your odds

If a gambling expert had $100 to bet and just wanted to win, he would probably put it on one hand of blackjack, these are your best odds. The longer you play the smaller your chances of winning. The casino will always have the long-term advantage.

Quit while you’re ahead

If you’re winning… you’ve won! It’s very easy to gamble all night until you have nothing left, but remember that when you started you probably wanted to win a little money, and if you’re winning, you’ve achieved that, so step away and enjoy the victory.

Have fun!

The most important and easy way to win is to have fun! We all want to win big, but sometimes the greed can blind us from having fun, sit back, take your time and enjoy! Youre gambling in your own living room, what could be better?
