The first step to a successful online wagering venture is bankroll management. Your bankroll is the amount of money you deposit into your online casino account. A player should never deposit more money than they are willing, or more specifically can afford, to lose.



While playing online casino games, the player should always keep of their original bankroll and their winnings separately. For instance, if you're bankroll is $50, you've spent $15 in casino wagering, and won $25, your bankroll is now at $35. You can keep wagering, but do not go beyond that last $35. Once the $35 is out, the player should stop and happily take their winnings. This coincides directly with Cashing Out Credits.









A player should always cash out their winning credits any time they win. This makes it easier to keep up with the original bankroll, thereby tracking the amount of online wagering versus winnings. If the winnings remain as credits, it becomes too easy to play through them, possibly losing any winnings the player may have had.



The next rule of thumb is to know your games before you play! For example, if a player is unfamiliar with Roulette, it is not recommended that they immediately start online wagering on the game. Most online casinos will offer real money play and free play. Try playing the game for free to get a better feel for the wagering, the table, the wheel and the pay outs involved.



Another option is to read up on the rules of the game. Any good online casino will offer rules for every game available. If you're not sure how to play a game, do not place a real money wager without reading over the rules. If you still aren't quite sure about any aspect of the game, refer to the last paragraph (play the game for free) before you start online wagering.



Online slots, video slot and video poker games can be especially tricky if the player does not understand the Pay Table. Every game of this sort will provide a Pay Table, either at the top of the screen, or by clicking on the Pay Table button. Before any online casino wagering is performed on a slot, video slot or video poker game, read the Pay Table and make sure you understand what qualifies as a win.



Video Poker games are probably the most important when it comes to Pay Tables and qualifying hands. A qualifying hand is the lowest possible winning combination. If you have been wagering on one video poker machine, then decide to try another, don't expect the lowest qualifying hand to be the same. For example, Tens or Better Video Poker will require at least a Pair of Tens in order to win anything. Deuces Wild, on the other hand, will commonly require at least Three of a Kind. A novice player who does not pay attention to this may find himself with Two Pair and unable to understand why he has lost. In short - Always Read The Pay Table!
