Below is summarized information about online gambling to get you started, and also help you become aware of what you should look for and what to expect.  When you understand the framework here, you will find that my friend, Jerry Whittakers’ site (Gambling Wiz) is the perfect website for both beginners and experts alike.  Jerry will not only teach you the essential details that are listed here, but will guide you in the direction of successful gambling fun.  He even shares his successful gaming strategies.  Be sure to read through Jerry’s descriptions and reviews so you can make educated and confident decisions about where and how you gamble.
 
Choosing an Online Casino
 
1. It is not hard to find casinos that are right for you.  Here are some tips you should not ignore before you begin your online gambling.  The casino’s website should look professional.  One very important detail to look for is a phone number.  These websites offer the best customer service.  They are prompt and will save you the frustration of waiting for a response via email.
2. Read the privacy policy of the online casino to make sure that your personal information will stay private.
3. Most likely, you will need to download the casino’s software to gamble online. Never pay for this software.  Be certain to choose a casino that offers recognized software, such as Boss Media, Cryptologic, Microgaming, and Playtech.
4. The odds of winning are usually posted on the casino’s website.  Many online casinos have better payouts because they are less expensive to operate than land-based casinos.  For obvious reasons, the odds and payouts are worth taking a look at.
 
Payment methods and financing
 
1. There are a number of payment methods available.  You can choose one that offers bonuses for using them, such as NETeller.  Citadel might sound appealing because it helps you control your spending through their “risk-assessment” feature.  Find a banking method that suits your online gambling needs the best.  Many casinos recommend specific banking systems, so you may base your decision around the casino’s preferred method.
2. Declare your online gambling wins and losses on your taxes.  Keep a record as you play.  List your losses as “itemized deductions,” but your declared losses should not exceed your winnings, which you would list under “other income.”
3. Prevent unacceptable losses and potential addiction by staying in control.  One way to do this is by deciding the amount you are willing to gamble beforehand.  You can also choose to assign the length of time you play, and stick to it!
4. Last but not least, HAVE FUN!
