    Why would you play at an online casino?
    It's like betting on something you can't visually see, I doubt most gamblers would bet on a simulated sporting event so why would you bet on a game of blackjack where the cards are randomly generated, I wouldn't bet on a game that was determined by a CPU that's primary purpose is to take my money, so I just don't get it. I mean I do get it, it's designed to take advantage of those with problems and bankrupt them but it's hard enough to win I don't need to give the book any further advantage

    News just in, land based casinos primary purpose is also to take your money.

    Plus its nice to play BJ/slots occasionally without the need to travel to a casino etc

        90% of people dont live near a casino, with online bonuses you have less house edge.

          you should trust where you play. I can't think of 1 place I trust to enter a casino online. i barely trust only a couple(actually 4) sportsbooks to be able to get my money out. if you trust a sportsbook to not cheat you when it is easy enough to do then by all means use their online casino. good luck

              The issue is that most people who visit this site are compulsive gamblers. Very few will admit it, but it's true. The online casino offers and instant "high". Once you get started its very tough to stop. This is true for sports also, but the difference is that at least with sports you have close to a 50/50 chance on most bets. The online casino's are so rigged and you play so fast that it offers almost no chance of winning. You my win 1 or 2 times out of every 20 sessions. Its very cruel for a book to have this and not offer the user a chance to disable it. People talk about control, but for a compulsion control is beyond difficult.

                I hate playing at casinos, I have a few Indian casinos within a half hour but I can't sit in one for more than an hour or so before I feel sick. I can log in and play just about anywhere, it's fast, betting limits are generally lower. I'm sitting here watching the Garcia / Peterson fight and I can play roulette while I do it, on my coach, without having to spend all day going to a casino. I think i'll play a few hands of blackjack now, just like that!

                  I always ask my offshore books to disable my casino. Heritage no longer does it for you and there's an option where the player can enable/disable the casino whenever they want. This defeats the whole purpose and I'll be forced to take my business elsewhere after my rollover is complete. Damn shame because I enjoy heritage but I do not want the option of going into the casino when I'm on tilt and dusting my whole account.

                    Have you no discipline?

                    Good grief.

                      Sounds like you lack social skills, and are probably a very awkward person.
                      Lots of people like yourself around here, hopefully that makes you feel more comfortable.

                        Why is that? Because I don't like sitting in a smoke filled casino gambling? I can spend an hour online to win the same amount I'd win in 4 hours at a casino and then go hang out with friends or play hockey with my son.

                                    Alot of people, including myself, dont treat their money online as real money. People go on tilt and want to make their money back fast. They'll suck you in with winning early and then boom you lose 15 hands in a row. Its a quick fix. I dont do it anymore but when I would losing 7 bets in a row down 1500 the next thing Im doing is playing BJ MultiHand for 250 a hand and made it all back in 3.5 minutes. Is it stupid? YES

                                      Poker is a game of skill. Casino games whether online or not give you no chance of winning over time. May as well flush your money down the crapper to speed up the process

                                                      I have not played in a while

                                                      I use to start at $1 and before you know it betting $50 a hand trying to get it back

                                                      end result..disaster

                                                              Well if i ever play its at PokerStars (still rarely but whatever), not some 2 bit operation being hosted by a Nigerian prince

                                                              Online Casinos dont have to be "rigged" they're programmed to fleece you of your money just like an actual Casino!

Was cleaning up after about an hour so I decided to make a deposit and give it a whirl. Just like that, the dealer was getting 21 every 5-6 hands. It was also amazing how many times my cards dealt equaled 12-16. Had to be a coincidence.

I mean I do get it, it's designed to take advantage of those with problems and bankrupt them but it's hard enough to win I don't need to give the book any further advantage
