This just means that Bet365 Casino and other exclusive online gambling platforms are built to entertain and make you happier with upbeat services. If this information has hooked you, prepare to get more hooked with 10 surprising facts about online casinos you may not know. 

The biggest slot payout won at an online casino is $19.9 million

Yeah! You are seeing it right! Someone won up to $19.9 million after playing at an online casino. This person is Johnathan Heywood. And he broke the internet when he claimed a whopping amount of $19.9 million playing Microgaming’s Mega Moolah. 

Funny enough, Heywood is only a soldier, 26 years of age, from Cheshire, and he won this huge sum after playing as a new player at Betfair for only 25 minutes. 

You do not have to spend money to play games

Many players think that you have to spend money to play at any online casino. Not true! Compared to land-based casinos, these platforms are virtual and have the capability to feature free online games. These games are sometimes called demo games, and they do not require any form of payment to play. These gaming options give you the chance to explore and try out games without spending a dime. 

Crypto casinos are becoming the real deal

If the name confuses you, let’s make it clear. Crypto Casinos are simply gambling websites that support cryptocurrencies, like Bitcoin, as a form of payment. In addition to the fact that these casinos promise players a fast, secure, and private banking experience, they also have exclusive gaming services. With this, crypto casinos are gradually becoming the real deal. 

Card counting is nowhere near effective at online casinos

Everyone does the card counting technique, so why is it different at online casinos? First and foremost, online gambling websites use the RNG (Random Generator Number) system, which provides automated and random results on card games. Since the card technique allows players to make better wagers by keeping track of dealt cards, it can only be effective at physical casinos. 

Game of chance belongs to the ladies

It has become a thing for female punters in the gambling space to focus on playing games of chance that guarantee high rewards for low stakes. Some of these games include slots and bingo. Besides the fact that these games do not require any form of technique or knowledge, these games are more accessible and interesting. 

Slots are extremely popular and fun online

Slots are unarguably the most popular online casino games across the gambling industry. The game follows the same mechanics for both the online and physical casinos. However, the online version of slots is way more fun to play. Thanks to the help of elite software designers, these games come with unique themes, lucrative options and entertaining gameplay. 

You can access several payment methods at online casinos (list)

The advent of crypto casinos already tells you how broad the payment methods at online casinos are becoming.

  • E-wallets: Paypal, Skrill, Ecopayz, Neteller, etc. 
  • Vouchers: Paysafecard, etc. 
  • Cryptocurrencies: Bitcoin, Litecoin, Ethereum, etc.
