Online casinos have recently gained an almost religious following, making them one of the most sought after entertainment venues. As long as you have a good internet connection, you can join any casino, anytime you want regardless of which corner of the world you are in.

For a long time, people were intimidated by the thought of joining a casino due to the strict and stringent membership rules and the exclusivity for only the rich and elite in the society. The online platform has now opened the door for everyone with a willing heart. The money involved in the betting has also dramatically dropped. There are several disparities between the two types of casinos, though the gaming concept remains the same.

Land based casinos

You have to physically join the casino floor for you to participate. You have to go where the casino is, get access from the intimidating door man. Other land based casinos will require some exclusive membership for you to be allowed in. If you are out of town, I guess you will have to travel all the way in to gain access, not to mention if it’s in another country.

Online casinos

These on the other hand are more flexible and open to anyone who is willing, as long as you are 18 years or over. They are strictly regulated in order to protect anyone all over the world who would like to make this his favourite pastime.

Today, you can also access the internet through your smart phone or any other hand held device. This has made it accessible to many who would like to play a casino game on their mobile phones. Casinos have now come up with applications that allow people to play through their phones. You can also deposit and withdraw money from the casino through your phone. This allows people to get engaged when they are at boring places like on the train, in a line or just strolling in the park.
