I’ve often been asked the question: what is the best advice you can give to help me make more money in an online casino? Well, if the truth be told there are a myriad of ways to make a ton of money at online casinos. You simply have to use a little smarts to make the most of your online gaming experience. I always like to advise potential gamers to do their homework before they just jump into the ocean of...

Placing a wager at online casinos for US based players is set to get a whole lot tougher in just a few days time. Unfortunately, the stage is set for that federal law signed in 2006 and known as the UIGEA to come into force on 1 June. This law prohibits the use of credit cards, checks and other financial instruments for online gambling transactions. The flow on effect of this law is intend to undermine on the...

Personally, the jury is still out for me on whether poker bots are a good development or not for the online poker industry. In case you’re not familiar with the term, online poker bots are computer programs that help poker players to win based on the statistical data that is fed to them. It’s obviously argued by many that those players who rely on poker bots receive an unfair advantage over the others players...

Let it Ride Poker is another of the many poker variations circulating and is very similar to 5-card stud poker in case you’re familiar with that. It’s played with a standard 52 card deck and up to seven players. It’s like video poker in that you play against the pay schedule.

If you’re a video poker player, maybe this one is for you.  I quite enjoyed Aces & Faces because I like fast paced games. Plus it was really straight forward to play.

The idea...

Casino JokesI think it’s always a good idea to have a poker joke or two up your sleeve when you sit down to play a few rounds with mates – especially when you take that big fat pot. Some people just seem to have a lot of luck. A friend of mine is one of those card players who can almost always draw whatever he needs to win a hand in poker, but loses big time at the races. I asked him about this once and...

I got to hand it to Bwin. More than an online poker room, they are true leaders in body and spirit (and website) of the industry as a whole. For instance, this recent legal issue with Portugal. Although the legal challenge by the poker company has ended in a loss (for now), they were those to challenge the Portuguese government. Masters of poker strategy as they are, I am quite confident this move will turn...

Most non-poker players probably don’t even realize how much poker jargon they use in their everyday life. I came across this list the other day and found it quite amusing just how widespread and popular poker jargon actually is. So many poker phrases have become a part of our culture and are used in daily conversation without being aware of their origins. So here are a few of the more common ones for you...
