There are plenty of reasons why gamblers choose to play their favorite casino games online these days. Not only does it save you from having to venture out on a cold winter night and hire a babysitter to look after the kids, you don\u2019t have to worry about staying off the alcohol, paying for any taxis, or even getting dressed up for the occasion! But of course there are some real genuine reasons to gamble online over a live casino or brick-and-mortar establishment. Here are some of the main reasons why!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Costs<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
It\u2019s no secret that you are going to be spending money, otherwise what is the point in gambling? But, aside from what you plan to use in your bankroll, other expenses can easily rack up when you choose to visit a brick-and-mortar casino, particularly if you have to travel abroad and account for flights etc. But even visiting your local casino means you\u2019ll likely rack up a drinks tab and then need a cab home afterwards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
You may also wish to dine in a restaurant beforehand, or spend some time in the casino\u2019s other amenities. Unfortunately, that kind of entertainment doesn\u2019t come free. It\u2019s easy enough for the dollars to disappear in a slot machine, but by playing online, you are eradicating the need to splash out on all these other things just to make sure you have a memorable night. At least if you\u2019re at home having a few drinks, you\u2019re more likely to remember it more anyway! Plus you don\u2019t have to worry about booking into a hotel and missing that overpriced breakfast either!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Convenience<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
This should probably be the main one, as ease of access and convenience matters to a lot to people these days. As we said in the introduction, visiting a live casino can be an amazing experience, but it always comes at a cost (not the monetary type) which can be in the form of having to make multiple arrangements just for your night to come together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This can be from arranging childcare, bookings places to eat, booking places to stay, getting home, cramming all of your belongings into your luggage, and even trying to navigate around a city or place you\u2019ve never been to before. Ok, it\u2019s not like those things are going to cause you any major setbacks. But when you can eliminate having to do those things completely, and can still have just as much fun and satisfaction from your computer screen, it does make you want to weigh up which one is going to drain you more of energy right!?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Variety<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
Of course, if you step into a casino you\u2019ll be instantly\ngreeted by a multitude of games ranging from slots machines, to poker rooms, to\nroulette wheels and an array of table games offering favorites such as craps,\nbaccarat, keno, and more. Another form of betting you won\u2019t be able to do so\neasily without stepping into a live casino is race track betting, however; when\nit comes to gambling online, there are an exceptional amount of different\nvariants of games which simply cannot be accommodated for in brick-and-mortar.\nThis is because the casinos themselves are restricted when it comes to\nresources; staff, dealers, and the overall space and capacity of the building.\nMeaning you might stumble across your favorite game, yet there are not enough\navailable seats for you to sit down and play. Setting you up for disappointment\nand a long wait. In a virtual casino \u2013 these kind of problems are\neliminated. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Promotions and freebies<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
You may well get offered a few free shots or a snack when you step into a live casino, but that\u2019s pretty much the only complimentary offers you can expect in these lavish gaming venues. Your computer screen certainly might not be able to pour you your favorite malt whiskey, but 90% of online gambling sites do usually offer bonus codes and incentives which can be really beneficial.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
When you register at an online casino, they will always provide you with an introductory discount, usually accompanied by a number of free spins, access to free games and even cash back incentives. VIP customers are often blessed with discounts and bonus codes every week too! So rather than spending all of that money just to sit at a high-roller table – by enrolling in an online casino\u2019s premium program, you\u2019re much more likely to save tons of money, while still receiving additional rewards. Every week! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Learning<\/h2>\n\n\n
\n<\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n
Online casinos also act as the perfect training ground for\nthose who aren\u2019t so accustomed to the rules and game dynamics on certain games.\nIn a live establishment, this situation can be quite daunting and embarrassing\nfor some. Particularly if you are up against other, more seasoned players. Not\nonly can this be a setback for your chances of winning or beating other\nplayers, these people are usually quite happy to express their frustration when\nit comes to amateur gamblers. Everyone likes to feel like an expert when going\nup against the house at the end of the day, and practicing in an online casino\nis the best way to get familiar with the games you\u2019re not so confident in. The\nbest part is, most online operators allow you to play for FREE before risking\nanything in your bankroll or asking you to put forward a wager. Something that\na live casino generally doesn\u2019t allow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Tolerance<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The heading for this one might sound a bit strange, but what we mean in terms of tolerance is the fact that not only do you have to put up with other players in a live casino (some of which can exert too much confidence, keep you waiting for a space on a slot machine, be completely drunk and obnoxious, or simply showing you up at a poker table) all of these things can lead to a bit of resentment when it comes to other players and their tendencies to get on your nerves.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Other things you could find quite annoying is the music being played in the casinos, smoke being blown everywhere, loud noises, dazzling lights, queues, lack of car parking spaces \u2013 you name it. There will always be something or someone that dampens the experience in some way. Whereas online casinos, the only person you need to worry about is you, what CD you\u2019re going to put on next, and whether you\u2019ve stocked up on enough booze and toilet roll for those occasional bathroom breaks! <\/p>\n\n\n\n
