Because there are no space restrictions, online casinos offer a wider range of games than in traditional casinos. You can choose between hundreds of online slots, which offer higher payout rates than in land-based casinos. These can be played for low and high stakes, and there are even progressive jackpot slots on offer which can pay out millions of euros. You can also play traditional casino games such as blackjack, roulette, baccarat and poker, either in auto mode (against a computer), or in live mode (against a live dealer over the internet). 

No. The casino calculates the outcome of each game. If you get disconnected in the middle of a spin or a card game hand, your account balance will likely reflect the results of that spin or hand even if they weren’t properly displayed on your screen.

Online casinos earn money just like their land-based counterparts. The expected return on all wagers is lower than 100%, so in the long run, the house always wins. However, online casinos aren’t as expensive to operate as brick-and-mortar establishments, which allows them to offer better promotions and higher-paying games. 

Albert Einstein famously stated that no one can win at roulette unless he steals from the table while the croupier isn’t looking. While this statement is true in mathematical terms, turning a profit over short gambling sessions is entirely within the realm of possibility. This is due to casino games’ inherent volatility. The longer you play, the more likely your results are to reflect the true house edge. An infinitely long gambling session will reduce your bankroll to nothing regardless of any success you may have had in the short term.

Betting systems are often advertised as a surefire method to overcome the house edge, but achieving this goal is impossible because modifying your betting pattern can’t influence the odds built into the game. Simply put, the coin doesn’t care whether you’ve wagered €10 on heads or €50 on tails. You can maximize your odds by limiting the grind and placing optimal wagers, but you can never go outside the mathematical constraints imposed by the game rules.

Online gaming all started on IRC (Internet Relay Chat). Yes, you heard right – the first online casinos were scripts in online chat rooms that allowed you to bet virtual currency. This was the first underworld of the Internet. Online poker and blackjack could be found on IRC in the early 90’s. By 1997, the number of active internet casinos grew to 200. By 2001, there were more than 8 million active online gamblers, and in 2002 the entire industry was valued at $4.5 billion – less than 10% of what it’s worth today.
