Getting Paid
Source : www.onlinecasino.com

Betting at an online casino is easy. What often puts players on edge is the most important part - getting paid. There are a variety of ways a player can purchase credits, but there are an equal amount of ways you can get paid. Cashing out of online casinos can take days, even weeks to get your cold hard cash. That fact has made players very uncomfortable and has caused more than a few angry customers. By far, the largest complaint by customers of Internet casinos is that they do not receive their checks in the time they expect. International mailings can take weeks to arrive, and in some cases, never arrive at all. Couple that with the fact that some online casinos only process cash outs once per week, and you have a lengthy delay in getting your check. Some companies have informed us that they limit the number of checks processed in a week, so if you're the last in line you may be waiting a few weeks before the check is even sent. Credit cards, debit cards, FirePay, PayPal, checks, electronic check, bank wire, and debit card are all ways online casinos use to credit your account if you’re lucky enough to translate your wagers into winnings.Credit Card The most common way used by casinos and sportsbooks is to deposit a refund back to your credit card. Usually this is fee-free. Caution: Casinos and Sportsbooks may only refund the amount you originally deposited to you credit card. The reason is because credit card policies do not allow higher refunds. This means if you buy casino chips for $100 using your visa card and you leave the casino with $200 most likely the casino will refund $100 to your card and send you the additional $100 using another method. MasterCard International released new rules for credit card refunds by online casinos and sportsbooks recently, which could prohibit any refund back to your card. The bank which holds your MasterCard account will determine if you are allowed to receive a refund from internet casinos. Refunds to visa cards are still possible without problems.Many online casino operators have noted that a very small percentage of their customers can be impatient while an even smaller percentage can be untruthful, or outright fraudulent. Credit card charges and information provided by the customer must be verified, and that can take additional time.Casinos using this method of payment: Almost every casino except casinos using Boss Media Software.FirePay Players can sign up for the service at FirePay's website, or at the corresponding casino. The process is relatively simple:

Enter your e-mail address, which must be the same that you use for the casino.

Using the funds in your FirePay account is just like using a credit card only you enter a FirePay account number instead of a credit card number.

Once you have registered with FirePay, player can use the same ID at every online casino that uses the service.Debit Card Debit cards are getting more popular in the United States, since they give you direct access to your checking account. They work like a Visa or MasterCard, so they can be used the same way as credit cards.Casinos using this method of payment: same as credit card.Check Checks are a frequently-used method of payment. Because they are usually used to pay winnings that can’t be refunded to your credit or debit card. Remember that most casinos are physically located on the Caribbean Islands. For this reason checks sent by regular snail mail will take a while to arrive depending on your location. Most casinos also give you the choice of using an express service like UPS or FedEx. This usually results in extra costs, which will reduce your winnings. Express services are usually subject to a $30 to $40 fee, whereas regular mail is usually free of charge. Therefore it only makes sense to use express service for higher winnings. However, you should always check with the casino. For example Vegas USA will send all checks by UPS Express without a fee. If you use this method you should have your money within 1-3 days.Casinos using this method of payment: almost every casino.Electronic Check Electronic check processing is offered by all Cryptologic. This method requires a bank account in the United States. The time it states to set up this method for first time users is a little lengthy, but it has its advantages in the long run. First, you have to fax Cryptologic your checking account information, such as routing number, account number, etc. The process is explained further in the casino software. After you send in your information your account with be set up which may take a couple of days. Once your account is ready you can cash in money by electronic check, which can be used immediately. You can also use electronic check to withdraw from the casino. In this process you can cash out the total amount of your winnings. However, if you cash in by electronic check you are unable to cash out for seven days for security reasons. This process is totally automated so it is very punctual on the period of times set forth. Something you may consider is cashing in by credit card and cashing out by electronic check. This would allow you to skip the seven-day waiting period. For anyone who does not own a credit card, electronic checks is the only other way to gamble online which can be considered safe and fast. Withdrawals in Cryptologic casinos using the electronic check procedure are subject to a $1 fee per request.Casinos using this method of payment: only casinos running Cryptologic's software.Bank Wire Bank wires are an optional way of payment used by some casinos. To use this method you will be required to provide the casino with information about your checking account such as account number, routing number etc. similar to electronic checks. After that, the casino will be capable of making direct deposits to your bank account. Bank wire usually causes additional fees to be charged by the casino and therefore is only recommended when receiving large winnings. However, even if the casino wires the money to you for free, you will still be charged by your bank (usually around $10 per transaction)Casinos using this method of payment: only casinos running Cryptologic's software.NeTeller A very new system is NeTeller. This method uses an independent provider which deals in eCash. NeTeller will provide you with a free online account. After you provide them with the required information you will be given an account number and password to access your account. After you cash out from the casino, the money with go directly into your Neteller account and you can begin using it online immediately. If you decide you want the money put in your bank account you can send your money to PayPal or DirectPay (Yahoo) which will provide you with that option plus the option to use the money for online purchases. PayPal and DirectPay are online cash systems that were mainly established for the field of online auctions (for example on eBay and Yahoo Auctions) and other purposes to transfer money over the Internet. Money deposited from a NeTeller Account is available instantly. Deposits to NeTeller accounts can be made by Master Card, Visa, American Express, Discover or Pay Pal.OnlineCasino.com recommends the following:

Find a reputable casino. Check "Casino Portals”, ask friends, or ask newsgroups for recommendations.
Read their "Cash-Out" policy, options, and FAQ's. Most Internet casinos readily display their "Cash-Out" policies. In general, companies will credit back the original amount you put on your credit card, and will give you some options to receive the rest of your money. This means that if you deposited $100 into your account by way of your VISA and are cashing out for $300, then you request to put a $100 credit back on your VISA and then get the other $200 either in the form of a check or (in some cases) they will wire the remaining balance directly into your bank account. If you choose the latter, there is usually a fee involved, so be aware of the policies.
Limit the amount of your initial deposit. This will allow you to "test" the casino, and limit your liability should the casino not be very reputable.
Cash out (at least some of your money) quickly. This will allow you to test the time you can expect to wait for your payouts.

You should read as much about the casino you are going to visit BEFORE you place any deposits with them. While almost all online casinos are honest, the VERY FEW that were not honest have tarnished the entire industry. Currently there are few regulations for these casinos. If you have the right amount of money, some government will likely give you a license to run one. So it's Caveat Emptor…. Buyer beware.

The "Player" hand and the"Banker" hand are drawn from 8 standard 52-card decks that have beenshuffled together and placed in the "Shoe." Cards one and three go tothe "Player" hand while cards two and four make up the"Banker" hand. Each hand starts with a minimum of two cards and cannever have more than three cards. Traditionally, one of the participants at thetable deals the cards. Dealing, however, is optional and a player may choose topass the cards along to another. The winning hand is the hand that adds up to orcomes closest to a total of 9 points. Participants win even money (i.e doublethere original bet) when the "Player" hand wins. Those who bet the"Bank" win even money, as well. However, there is a 5% commissioncharged on winning "Banker" bets. The "Bank" has a slightadvantage in the way that the cards are drawn, therefore, this commission ischarged. Players can also bet on a "Tie" game that generally pays out8:1.

8 Top Tips For Newbies

So you've read about gambling online or maybe heard it mentioned in the media and are gonna give a try. Okay, on your marks, get set - wait!

Before you venture forth it's time for a quick reality check because the road to online gambling riches is not without its potholes. Here are a few caveats to illuminate the path ahead.

1. What is a download and why do I care?

One of the first questions you'll be faced with if you decide to gamble online is whether you want to play games that require you to download and install software these are called "download" games or perhaps you'd prefer games that simply run over the web called "no download" games. There are big differences between the two.

For a start the download options will usually take a good 40 minutes to complete (although some software providers give you a lite version to play while the full version downloads in the background) whereas the no download is virtually instant. But with that 40 minutes comes the kind of superior user interface you'd expect, with nice graphics, sound and lots of games to play. With the no download version this is much more limited. Sure you can still play blackjack, slots and poker, but thats about it. It all depends how impatient you really are!

2. So now I've downloaded, what do I do next?

With no-download games it's pretty obvious what you need to do to start the action but with download games it may not be so obvious. You could go back to the casino's website and read their instructions, they all have them, but if you're impatient like me you just want to get to it!

The first step after downloading is to install the software and reboot your machine. I know, it shouldn't be necessary, but the bottom line is that computers especially those running Windows behave best if you reboot after an install. Once you're back up, click on the casino's icon that was placeded on your desktop. If there's no icon, check your Start menu under "Programs" and it will be at the bottom of the list.

Once you fire up the software it will probably connect to the casino's home site, verify your install, and ask you whether you want to play for Real or Fun. That's it, pick your poison!

3. I want my winnings!

So you've won big and you're ready to hit the mall. All you need to do is cash out, right? Wrong! All casinos have policies about how much you can cash out and when. In most cases you can only withdraw as much to your credit card as you deposited in the first place. So what about the rest?

Casinos vary widely on this, but the short answer is that you'll need to be patient. Even if the casino lets you withdraw right away it could take weeks to receive your check. Some casinos won't let you withdraw until you receive a PIN number from them through the mail. Still others require numerous pieces of identification be faxed to them so they can verify that you are who you say you are.

There are a few casinos that seem to want everything including your Social Insurance number and a fax of your fingerprints (no kidding!) It's up to you to decide if you can live with this invasion of privacy but in any case it's best to know what they're gonna want from the get-go: read the casino's info on withdrawals, it should all be spelled out pretty clearly there. If you don't like what you see, try another casino.

4. PIN Number, what's that?

In most cases the casino's cash-out policies are reasonable, albeit a little inconvenient. Many of them issue the user a unique identification number, a PIN, that you need in order to initiate a cash-out.

Often your PIN number comes via regular postal mail which can be annoyingly slow. The theory is that it's for your own good since receiving it confirms that you actually live at the address they have in their database. It also helps the casino avoid fraud. Whatever, it's become part of the way many online casinos do business so you're probably just going to have to get used to it.

5. How much is it going to cost me?

Another bitter pill is that many casinos will charge you a fee for your withdrawal. Some charge a flat rate, a few charge a percentage, and almost all will charge you more if you want your money "right now thank you very much".

It's well worth your time to read your casino's website page of "Banking" or "Withdrawals". The vast majority of casinos are quite reasonable in their withdrawal charges, but you never know until you know. If it's not clear, email or phone them and find out what the deal is.

6. Hidden banking fees

So the check is in the mail and that means you're home free, yes? Maybe, but again, it depends on the details. For example, receiving a check on a Swiss bank in US dollars may not be money straight in your pocket.

We've known people to be hit with stiff transaction fees when they ask their bank to process a check drawn on a foreign bank. Direct deposit and bank wires may be alternatives, but you'd best check into it before hand because not all casinos offer these services at attractive rates.

7. Will the software run on my machine

Good question. The answer in the vast majority of cases is "Yes, beautifully!". Unless your machine is really old, or you're running out of system resources (read: disk space) there's really not much to worry about.

I've installed casino software well over a hundred times on a variety of machines and have only encountered a major problem once or twice. On the off chance that you do encounter a problem you guessed it contact the casino's Customer Support people. That's what they're there for.

8. Bonus rules

Bonuses are a big deal these days literally and figuratively and you've no doubt encountered one that sounds really attractive. By all means, go for it but not before you've read the fine print.

Bonuses come in a bewildering variety and it's hard to keep track of what's a great deal and what's so-so. All casinos will require that you play the bonus before you can withdraw it. Some require you to play 2-times or 3-times the bonus, and on and on it goes. No one can offer advice that will apply to all the bonuses you'll find out there, other than the one we all know: caveat emptor.

Unfortunately we can't leave the bonuses issue without a few cautionary words. First and foremost don't abuse the bonus offers. In particular don't re-register using another name in order to get the bonus again. That's "bonus abuse" and the casinos can get pretty hostile over such attempts at subterfuge.

Finally, there's the issue of fair-play on the casino's part. Some casino managers have a tough time with the fact that a player can deposit $100, get a $50 bonus, hit a winning streak at the Craps table and cash out for $2200.

Whatever the reason, a few casinos have been known to withhold the player's winnings, or freeze player accounts completely. Do a little research if you're serious about using a particular casino's bonus. Read the message boards and check out the reviews. Also, there are other sites like ours that make it their business to keep the player informed so surf a little before you break out the credit card.
