Top Online Casinos

Why on earth should you pick an online casino over a regular land based one? After all, regardless of how advanced its software may be, an online casino can never really give you as intense a gaming experience as a live one. The differences between live and online casinos are much further reaching than that though, and when you draw the line at the end of the day, online gaming operations will be far ahead of their land based cousins, I can guarantee you that.

To cut a long story short: it is so much cheaper to operate on online casino than a land based one, that online operations can afford to outbid land based casinos in just about every respect. Online casinos can give their players generous sign-up bonuses (go ahead and see if you can secure anything even remotely related to a sign-up bonus in a live casino).  

While most live gaming sites have poker rooms as well (which online casinos rarely have, unless they’re part of a multi-faceted operation), you should not expect rake back in any shape or form at the live tables.

In the popular casinos, players are glad they can get a seat at the table, let alone expect to be rewarded for it. Live casino gambling is a costly business, both for the operator and for the player. While in an online casino a slot machine is made up of a few lines of code, in live gambling, a slot machine costs a cartload of money. Space is an issue for live casinos as well.

While an online casino can just keep adding new games all the time to keep the offer interesting, a live casino cannot possibly follow suit on account of the limited nature of space. All these problems and costs are ultimately transmitted right down to the player, who has to pay for it all through bigger house edges, a much bigger house drop and generally less favorable odds.
