Online casinos that have first appeared relatively early (in the middle of the 90s) were popular from the start, but now their popularity is phenomenal, mostly because of their convenience – you can play for real money, and earn without leaving the house. Modern online casinos have become even more easy to use as they offer their clients an opportunity to play from their mobile, so you can play anywhere. What are mobile casinos, and how do you start playing in these?
What are mobile casinos?
As the name suggests, mobile casinos are online gambling establishments that allow you to play right from your mobile device for real money. Many of these are foreign webpages, with software produced by the largest manufacturers, such as PlayTech or Microgaming. These webpages are essentially similar to their online brothers, with the only difference being optimisation – in order to allow playing from the mobile platform, such as your mobile.
One of the characteristics of mobile casinos is that you can play them either with real or virtual money (frequently you would not have to register in this case), just like in regular online casinos. To save on Internet data, many mobile casinos allow offline play for virtual money (i.e. without a stable Internet connection). So if you download software for any mobile casino, you have a very convenient choice: either play with real money using your data allowance on the mobile, or use the software as any game on mobile, and play it offline with virtual currency.
How to play in mobile casinos?
The first thing that you need to pay attention to if you want to play on the go, is particular system requirements for mobile platforms. Not all smartphones can use the software for mobile casinos, and so before doing anything, check the minimal requirements for your phone (these could be found at the casino’s webpage). At minimum, your phone would need to support high-speed internet access (such as Wi-Fi or 3G) and Java. Also, many mobile casinos would need a good Internet browser as well. Some casinos traditionally publish the full list of phones supported, and hence you may not need to check whether your mobile is supported. Just find it in the list on the webpage of the chosen casino.
If your mobile satisfies all the requirements of the mobile casino, you can go the next stage – registering there and downloading the software. If you plan to play on the go for real money, you will also need to select an option to deposit funds into your account in advance. It’s easiest to deposit funds into your account by using virtual payment systems, such as Paypal or Skrill, or via a credit / debit card. When you are installing software for playing on the go, follow the instruction carefully, otherwise you won’t be able to play.
