Online Casinos Come up Trumps

The word is out: online casinos are taking the gambling world by storm and land-based casinos are dipping out. There are plenty reasons why gamblers prefer to venture into cyberspace as opposed to physically frequenting their favourite casino.

Among the reasons cited in favour of online casino gambling are the following:

- No unnecessary travel, parking, entry or food and beverage costs
- No need to get dressed up to go and gamble, just power up the laptop
- Incredible graphics, hypnotic sounds, promos and big sign-up bonuses
- Gambling from the privacy of home: plain and simple

The demographics
Multiple studies have been conducted and it has been shown that many people who gamble online casino games clearly have greater internet abilities and tend to be more financially sound. Online gambling requires credit cards, personal computers and leisure time.

While land-based casinos have something concrete to show their patrons, there is a greater investment in time, preparation and often cost that needs to be made. Unless it's a once-a-year vacation to a dream hotel and casino resort, online gambling provides equal fun and often with greater payouts to gamblers.

Fair comparisons
The people interviewed had to have visited regular casinos within the month and played online too. It appears to be the convenience of home that draws people ever deeper into the spin to win thrill of online gambling. In 1995 there were only 24 Internet top online casino gambling sites and a decade later that number had already swollen over 100 times. Worldwide estimates of online gamblers are between 14 and 21 million players.

Greater wins
Most players feel that online casinos pay better than land-based casinos and this is a major factor drawing in the numbers. Moves are afoot for the US to reach a favorable decision on online gambling and that could well open the door to an even bigger market of online players.
