Are players supposed to download the casino ?
Yes, most of the online casinos require the players to download the “casino” i.e. the software that enables the players to play. The casinos usually offer a concise version referred to as the “lite”. This software is between 4 to 5 MB in size. Players can download a detailed version if they want more variety.

What if players do not have enough memory to download the casino?
If the hard disk of the player’s computer does not have enough memory, players can avail the web based casino. These casinos which can be accessed through the browser can be used by players who do not wish to download the software. Many casinos have both the download and the web based versions. In such a case, the player must only have the latest versions of Java or Flash. Another option is sending the software straight to the CD-Rom.

Why do the players need to create an account?
In order to gamble at a website, players must first make an account. When a player signs up on the site, he needs to deposit some amount that he will wager with. Also when the player wins a bet, the money he wins must be deposited or given to the player. The purpose of creating an account is to facilitate such transactions. Thus, creating the account enables the payment to the players and wagering of bets. Also the bonuses offered to the players are deposited in these accounts.

What does it mean when the casino asks the players “to register” their credit cards?
When the players create their account at the online casino, the casino asks the players to choose their mode of payments. More often than not players opt to pay by credit or debit cards. Now, the casino requests the players to “register” their credit cards. The players must share credit card details like the credit card number, the pin code, date of expiry etc. This is called registering the card.
