Buying Chips

To play for real money and start winning, you need to register with the casino and deposit funds into your account. The deposit procedures vary from casino to casino but each casino will also have deposit instructions.

Placing A Bet

After depositing money into your account, your chips will normally be stacked by denomination ($1, $5, $25, $100, $500) at the bottom of the screen in most online casinos. Select the amount you would like to bet on any given hand by clicking the left mouse button on the chip of that denomination.

The amount wagered per hand may be increased or decreased by placing the mouse on the stack that you wish to add or subtract to your bet. Each time you click the left mouse button you will add a chip from that pile to your bet amount. Likewise by clicking on the right mouse button you can decrease your planned wager amount. Remember these procedures vary from casino to casino, we recommend that you read the instructions at each casino before playing.

Cashing In

Online casinos usually credit winnings back to a player in much the same way the funds were deposited. Always check the casino’s information section to find out their terms and conditions. The best way to play is to open an account with an Internet cash merchant such as Firepay, NETeller or Prepaid ATM. Winnings are quickly and easily credited back to your account. In the event that you win more than you deposit, some casinos will credit the maximum amount back to your card, then send you a check for the difference. Many casinos and software developers use a secure third party to manage your funds. To combat fraud, some casinos request documentation from players before cashing out large winnings or issuing a check.
