For the new online casino player, the many choices on the Internet seem very daunting. Follow these few simple guidelines and you will find that it really is easy to get started.

1. The first, and most important step, is to decide which online casino you would like to play in. It is important to do a search on the Internet to ensure that the site of your choice has a good reputation in the online casino world. For players in the United States, it is also important to ensure that your chosen online casino accepts United States players. It is important to make sure that the online casino has a safe software download, that they have good customer service (24 hours a day, 7 days a week is best), and that they pay their winners in a timely manner. Most important is that all financial dealings are done through 100% Secure Transactions.
   
   
2. Once you have chosen which online casino you would like to play in, go to their site on the Internet.
   
   
3. The next step is to download the online casino's software to your personal computer. You may decide to try their free games on your web browser, via the Flash or Java interface, before doing the download. This would simply be to ensure that you are happy with the casino and what they offer. It is important to remember that graphics and sound, and often smooth play can be affected by playing through the web interface rather than downloading the software.
   
   Once you have decided that you are sure you would like to play in the chosen online casino, press the button, which is usually quite obviously displayed, which says "Download", "Download Now", "Download Free Software" or something similar. It is important to ensure that there is enough place on your computer's hard disc to accept the download. If the site asks for your e-mail address, it will be needed in order for them to continue with the download.
   
   Once the software has been downloaded, a new icon should appear on the computer's desktop. Double click on the icon in order to install the software. The computer should do the installation automatically. A casino icon will now be visible on the desktop. In order to enter the casino, double click on the casino icon and the casino site will start up.
   
   
4. Next, open up the casino, follow the instructions as to how to register an account, buy some chips, then begin playing for real money. Most casinos offer welcome bonuses, so it is worth taking a little time to read the information on their websites.
   
   
5. To begin play in your chosen online casino, double click on the casino icon on your desktop. If you have not finished the registration process, it is important to ensure that all details are filled in correctly in order to make sure that all winning can be sent to you!
   
   
6. Important tip: When issued with a password, write it down and and keep it in a safe place. If the computer is a shared computer, especially if children also use the computer, it is preferable to write down the password instead of saving it on the computer itself as you are held responsible for any actions taken on the account.
   
   
7. You will be assigned a user name and password, and should use this information to login. To load your account with chips, press on the "bank", "banking", or "cashier button, and follow their instructions carefully.
   
   
8. Begin play! Have fun! Good luck!
