Until a few years ago online casino players were typically gamblers who used to play at normal casinos or computer nerds who understood and used the latest technology. With the outspread of the Internet and the rising computer skills among common people, online casino gambling has become accessible for a growing audience. Today online casino gambling has become a mainstream activity. People from all parts of society and all parts of the world engage in online casino gambling for fun, entertainment and to win money. And why shouldn't they? Online casinos offer a much higher payback percentage than most other gambling alternatives and you can play in the comfort of your own home and you have the freedom to play whenever you want to.  

Since the first online casino opened in the mid 1990's, the number of online casinos has increased dramatically. Today the number of online casinos has risen to well over 1.000. I am an experienced player who has played at online casinos since the year 2000, but none the less the online casino industry can sometimes seem overwhelming. I can only begin to imagine how it must feel for newcomers to online casino gambling.  

The internet is filled with casino portals and guides, but many of them offer little help to new players because they contain more commercials and fancy slogans than useful information. I have done my best to make this online casino guide different. This guide is light on commercials, fancy illustrations and pictures, but hopefully it is rich on information. If so, it has served its purpose which is to give new players an introduction to online casino gambling and to guide them towards the best casinos the internet has to offer.  

This guide does not aim to be a one-stop to online casino gambling. When you have finished reading this guide, you will not know everything about online casino gambling. All aspects of online casino gambling simply cannot be covered by one website. The guide cannot offer a magical way to success either, because there is no such thing. But what it aims to do is to make new players better equipped to make informed decisions that will increase their chances of having a good time and to win at online casinos.
