    With online casinos becoming more prolific than ever, flocks of casino fans have opted to test-drive online casino sites instead of trekking out to land-based casinos.

    There are many advantages of playing online that we will explore below, for those of you who enjoy some classic casino games.

    1. It’s Much More Convenient

    Many people choose to visit online casinos over land-based as it’s much more convenient.   You don’t need to dress up – you can sit down, relax – and enjoy everything a real-life casino has to offer from the comfort of your own home.

    These days most online casinos are also available on mobile phone which means you can get your casino fix wherever you are.  If you have a long train journey, if you are waiting for an appointment – as long as you have phone signal, you can play your favourite casino games. They make depositing and withdrawing incredibly easy too.

    Not only can you use your debit or credit card, as well as alternative methods – there is an option on a lot of sites to pay by mobile phone.  This means that your deposits are automatically added on to your phone bill, or else deducted from your Pay as you Go credit.

    2. You can Still Enjoy the Real-Life Experience

    A lot of the best casinos out there offer live casino games. This means that there are real life dealers, and players that you can interact with, just like you would if you were out at the real thing.  They have great live chat facilities so you can still have a natter while you play.

    Technological advancements are also allowing for virtual reality casinos where you become fully immersed in a casino as you would if you were at the real thing.  It could be that you have encountered VR before in eSports games or something similar.

    3. They Have Joining Incentives

    At land-based casino’s there aren’t really incentives for you to enjoy, just the games themselves.  As the world of online casinos is so competitive, they work harder to entice players to join their brands and keep them loyal.

    There are lots of ways they do this. They could offer a no deposit bonus, for example Stakers offer a free 10 Euro bonus when you join their site.  This means that you will be credited with a bonus to check the brand out before you have even made a deposit onsite.  That way you can make an educated decision as to whether or not you want to keep playing.  All you need to do is register your details, and it will be credited to your account.

    They also often offer up bonuses for first deposits, and often reload bonuses for future deposits.  This means that you will get extra funds to use on the site for continuing to spend money on that site.

    4. They Have a Larger Variety of Games

    The best online casinos work with developers that create top-notch games and who are experts in the industry.  The quality of these in terms of graphics and animations is phenomenal.  This is something that’s less so at land-based casinos.

    They have advanced features, awesome sound effects and are thoroughly entertaining to play.  Most online casinos these days feature hundreds of games on their site, much more than you would find if you were to go out to a casino.

    Software developers are constantly creating new games for you to play – which means there is always something fresh and new to enjoy.   Not that that’s something you’d need to worry about too much anyway as it will most likely take you forever to get through the ones that are already on the average casino site.

    5. The Prizes are Bigger and Better

    There are different kinds of prizes that can be won at an online casino, it isn’t always cash.  Some brands that try to stand out from others offer tangible prizes such as fancy gadgets, swish new cars – or even trips of a lifetime.  You can also ensure you are notified of these offers via email or SMS.

    There is great winning potential when it comes to cash prizes.  With the progressive slot games, you can win literally millions of pounds.  For example – one lucky player managed to scoop a huge £13,209,300 on the incredibly popular Mega Moolah game by Microgaming.  These kinds of stories aren’t as infrequent as you would think.

    6. They Have Great Loyalty Offers

    You do get some perks at land-based casinos.  You will generally find they work to a points system where you can claim loyalty points or something similar, however it’s never really specific to the player.

    With online casinos they pay a lot of attention to their VIP’s and can even create personalised VIP offers specific to you.  You will generally get some kind of bonus when you level up and progress to another VIP level.  On top of this, there are other perks you can look forward to such as birthday bonuses, dedicated account management, exclusive offers and promotions, cash back on your wagers and more.

    7. They Offer More than Just Casino Games

    Typically, online casinos offer more than just casino games and slot games.  Often you will find that there is sports betting or bingo offerings all under the same roof.  This means if you fancy a change, you don’t need to worry about visiting a whole host of other sites, you can check out everything they have to offer in one place.

    That’s not something you could do if you opted for a land-based option.  You may need to go to a casino first, then a bookies – and perhaps a bingo hall.  Finding everything that an online casino like 888 Casino has to offer in one venue is a difficult task.

    It could be that you enjoy the atmosphere of a land-based casino which is part of the attraction, but there are lots of benefits of choosing to play at an online casino.
