How to Create an Online Casino Account: A Step-by-Step Guide

Why Register an Account with an Online Casino?

The answer to the above question is simple – only if you register with the casino will you be a member and, therefore, eligible to place real money bets on the games that are available.

Once you fund your account, you will be able to access the bonuses that the casino offers and cash out any winnings you earn from them. Of course, to cash out your winnings you will need to fulfil the terms and conditions associated with the bonus.

There are two modes of play at online casinos:

• Real money play
• Free practice play

You will need an account to play for real money. Your casino account credentials are valid for both online and mobile casino gaming.

Some casinos allow free practice play even if you don’t have an account with them. Other casinos require you to open an account for free practice play as well.
