This article is for all you new and aspiring online gamblers out there. This is probably the most important article you will ever read so please pay close attention as this will save you a lot of trouble later on.
There is a lot of fierce competition going on between online casinos to gobble up customers and a lot of competition between online casino review sites to feed these casino's and in turn feed themselves. Amongst all this chaos no one seems to care about YOU the customer because there are prerequisites that YOU must fulfill before a casino will honour a withdrawal.
An online casino will happily accept a deposit from you regardless of your age, nationality, political affiliations etc etc... BUT when lady luck is smiling down at you with her irresistable smile and you try to proceed for a withdrawal, the online casino that accepted your deposit suddenly turns into the Inquisition. I have been through this fiasco with some pretty bad online casinos (which i will never recommend on my website) but then I realise it was my fault for not verifying my authority to gamble BEFORE I deposited. This scenario is easily avoided if you follow my golden rules.
• Make sure you are old enough to play. This may seem obvious but an online casino will not honour any cash outs if you are underage. If you are 18 – 21, contact the online casino support and make sure that they will honour your winnings. Get this in writing.
• Make sure that your country or state's law permits online gambling. Very important point especially if your from the United States. Make sure that the online casino accepts players from the U.S.
• Before you deposit. Always e-mail a copy of valid identification (passport or driving license) and a copy of your Bank Statement or utility bill for age and address verification. Get these documents scanned or just get a picture off a good quality digital camera. Contact the online casino support to get these documents verified BEFORE you deposit. I cannot stress the importance of this critical step.
• Understand the online casino's terms and conditions. Read their terms and conditions and also read the Casino Bonus conditions that I highlight in this site. This will save you a lot of trouble later on.
• Deposit only what you can afford to lose. DO NOT put your rent on 17 Black
