What is Neteller

 Online Casino  

Neteller. What is it? And, more important: which purposes does it serve? That is the main topic to discuss for this page. We examine what Neteller actually does, to what category of payment methods the software, application of Neteller belongs, and why the programme has become such a huge success. Therefore, this page contains five more sections, which all deal with some element of Neteller: we offer an introduction on the application, discuss functioning and purposes of the application, and how it works technically. Next, we offer inside information on a couple of benefits of the application and of having a Neteller account, plus some details about signing up for an account. We now start with an introduction on Neteller.

Neteller: A Short But Nevertheless Concise Introduction

Neteller consider themselves leaders in the global online payment industry. The holding that exploits the activities of Neteller goes by the name of Neovia Financial, which is a financial service institution and therefore regulated as such (comparable to, for example, consumer banks). The license to operate Neteller was granted by the Financial Service Authority (FSA) of the United Kingdom. This FSA regulates and monitors money services offered in online and offline banks or other institutions. The best way to define the service Neteller offers, is to label it an eWallet. An eWallet is, as the name already implies, an electronic wallet, which serves as online wallet: you transfer money to this wallet and will be able to make online payments with your Neteller account. That is what it does. How it works, is discussed in the remaining four sectors of this page.

Neteller: The Application’s Purposes And Functioning

We touched upon the subject in the preceding section: the purposes of a Neteller eWallet account are quite clear. You can use the account and eWallet to transfer money to an online merchant. It is hard to define an online merchant, but the companies that make use of the service of Neteller cannot be clustered into one category. Whether you want to use Neteller for paying online for access to a certain site, or whether you want to check out in a web shop and finish a payment: Neteller works as an online payment method. Finishing a payment is fairly easy: select a service or product that you want to buy first. After you have selected a product or service, you can check out and finish the order. During checkout, you select Neteller as a payment method and enter your account details. Of course, you first need to register for an account at the Neteller website. All you have to do is sign-up and transfer some money to the eWallet. After this process, you can use your Neteller account to purchase goods and services.

Neteller: How It Works Technically

Neteller as such is not more than an application, written by software developers. It works as follows: once an online merchant included Neteller in his payment methods offered, you will be able to establish a direct connection with the eWallet. The connection runs via codified and encrypted lines. This prevents your account from hackers and likewise. After you have established an encrypted connection with the servers of Neteller, you will be able to finish your payment and purchase the goods or services of your preference. Easy and comfortable. The technical process is therefore not so much a technical process, but more of a digital process used to finalise the payment.

Neteller: Benefits For Users

When you want to use Neteller for finalising payments at online merchants, there are a couple of benefits. The page Why Neteller discusses the benefits and advantages of using Neteller in more detail, especially in comparison with other payment methods that can be used online. The first benefit we would like to mention is that a payment performed via Neteller is always anonymous. This means that you can finish and finalise your payment without anyone getting to know your personal details. Of course, when you sign up for an account, Neteller has to collect some personal details, in order to guarantee a safe and secure service. But after these prerequisites for registration, you will never have to share other personal details with the merchants. Another benefit is the regulation of the FSA, which causes and forces Neteller to offer a safe product.

Neteller: Signing Up

There are not many things that get more easily done than signing up for a Neteller account. Really, all you have to do is go the website of Neteller, enter (and of course, make up) a username and password and complete the registration. Your Neteller eWallet account just came into existence! Next, you follow the procedures on the Neteller website, in order to transfer funds from your bank account (or credit card) to the eWallet of Neteller. That is basically it, so what are you waiting for?

Bingo: Rich History Bright Future.

 Online Bingo  

Ever since its origins in Italy in the 16th century Bingo has been captivating new audiences and finding ever more exotic and unusual outlets – from 18th century German schoolrooms to its popular boom in the American jazz age. But through all of that time the basic cards and numbers format has remained. It is one of those formulas that continues to stand the test of time.

Its launch into the mainstream was the result of an entrepreneurial push by an American toy salesman called Edwin Lowe. Seeing a home-made version of the game played at a country fair Lowe had the genius to mass produce game cards and the rest as they say is history.

In fact, Lowe is the man responsible for the name ‘bingo’. The game he saw was called beano (beans were used to mark off numbers) but when someone called out ‘bingo’ by mistake Lowe instantly recognised his own winning formula. Lowe’s company went on to become a multimillion dollar concern in the US, whilst in Europe ‘housey housey’ as the Victorians called it, continued as a less commercial pastime.

online-bingo

The game first appeared online in 1996 since when it has gone from strength to strength. The online bingo industry is now reckoned to be worth more than $1 billion a year – and still growing! Online bingo games from winner.com, BGO, William Hill bingo and others retain the simple charm of the original formula, but they are able to do so in a way that makes the game attractive and engaging to a whole new generation. Games are themed around topical motifs and iconic cultural figures, bringing a touch of showbiz glamour and romance to the basic numbers that are the raw material of the game itself.

Since advertising online bingo was legalised in 2005 hundreds of alternative online bingo sites have started competing for players’ attention – proof itself of the popularity of the game. One estimate puts the number at 359 although that is a far from scientific measure.

The rise in online bingo is coming at a cost for the more established bingo halls which are more and more looking like an idea whose time is running out. The convenience of being able to play from home – or even on the go – is proving irresistible for time-conscious players – the majority of whom are women. The High Street giant Mecca now derive over 20% of their business from their Mecca Bingo website, which is just as well as attendances at their halls – which have also been hit hard by the smoking ban in 2007 – look to be in a serious state of decline.

For all the change in the way it is being delivered it does appear that bingo itself is not about to disappear any time soon. Not only is it offered by specialist sites, it is also a staple feature of many more ‘macho’ betting and gaming sites.

The enduring appeal of the game is its simplicity. And whilst there are different versions in play, the basic numbers and cards formula looks tailor made to make the move into the digital age. Bingo’s future looks every bit as bright as its already glittering history.

Playing Roulette On An IPhone

 Online Casino  

Over the past few years the world has gone crazy over the iPhone. It’s the latest “must have accessory.” It wouldn’t at all surprise me if the younger generation sign up to a contract for an iPhone simply to keep up with friends and avoid being left behind.

I’ve never been too interested in phones and the iPhone is no exception. All I want from a phone is to make phone calls and a £30 phone can do that just as well as an iPhone. If I want to take pictures I’ll get a camera. If I want to play games I’ll get an Xbox. This is why expensive phones are of no interest to me.

That’s my rant over with though, now let’s look at playing roulette on an iPhone for those that may be interested. A lot of online casinos have what I believe is called an “app” that you can download.

This will enable you to play the games for real money any time you want. I have to be honest, I’m really not a fan of this at all and here’s why.

Playing Roulette On An IPhone

It leads back to what I said at the top, if I want to play games I will get an Xbox. If I want to play roulette, I will just go and play online roulette, playing on an iPhone has no advantage over a regular online game other that you can play on demand no matter where you are.

This is my biggest concern; it will only fuel the need of a compulsive gambler further. Games like roulette are fun and a lot of people just enjoy them for what they are, but some people get addicted and take things too far.

Now with the possibility of playing roulette on an iPhone, the compulsive gambler now has gambling on demand no matter where they are, whether it’s school or work.

In the past, time at work was time away from gambling but now the iPhone means that even work time can be spent gambling when the boss isn’t looking.

My philosophy is that roulette and other games like blackjack and slots are great when played in moderation, but dangerous when played excessively. Much like many other things in life.

There’s plenty of time to play games like roulette when you’re at home, there’s no real need to have it on an iPhone as well. Maybe this is just me being cynical because the iPhone is something that doesn’t interest me.

Internet Casino Games – Where to begin?

 Online Casino

Without internet casino games, online gambling would scarcely exist. Instead of a world filled with games, we’d be left with only sports betting or bingo. So what exactly are these games that fill online casinos and other gambling sites. What could you, as a prospective online gamer enjoy if you joined the world of online casino gambling?

The Slots

These are the most produced games by software companies. Much like real land-based casinos, the centre piece of an online casino is its collection of slots. Slots come in many shapes and forms. There are progressive jackpot slots, standard jackpot slots, fruit machines, three reels, five reels, bonus games, pyramid slots, so many different variants that it would be impractical to list them all here. Online slots come in many themes, shapes and games, and likewise so does the amount that is on offer for a player to win, and also the amount that is required to bet in order play. There are so many online slots that any online player will always find something to their liking as these are the staple of all good internet casino games sites.

Internet Casino Games

The Table Games

The table games are where the real gamblers play. Table games can include digital representations of poker, blackjack, Texas Hold ‘em, pontoon, craps and even roulette. Video poker is sometimes not incorporated into this category, instead occupying one of its own but virtually any form of card or dice game imaginable can usually be a part of the table games genre. Table games can be played against the dealer, or against other players, usually through a live dealer (real-life dealer visible through a stream). These are the most entertaining forms of online gambling games, and the stakes can if you wish them, be quite high.

The Instant Win Hits

Scratchcards and one touch wonders generally fall into this category of internet casino games. These types of titles aren’t some of the games by software companies that are made a lot. Instead, instant win games seldom ever change. They aren’t made for long drawn out play, instead focusing on offering gamers quick fix of gambling with slightly less of a jackpot or price at stake than their bigger more adventurous cousins, the online slots and table games.

Others

There are many other forms of internet casino games that are worth playing too however. Keno, bingo and a range of other games that do not necessarily fit into any category are commonly played in the best online casinos. A lot of these games will have their own sites across the net too, so if you really fall in love with these games, there are plenty of other options open to you. But as always, it is up to you!

Top 4 Most Popular Slot Machines

 Online Casino  , , , ,

There are lots of different online slot machines that you can play on many different online casinos. It can be difficult to know which slot games are the best though as there are lots to pick between. Many sites will have at least twenty different slots with different themes and some have even more. However, they often have the same slot games as each other. It can be good to know which slots might be the best to play. Therefore some of the more popular ones are described below, so that you can decide which you think might be the most fun for you.

The Lord of the Rings

The Lord of the Rings slots

The Lord of the Rings Slots is a very popular game, probably one of the most popular of them all. If you are fan of the film then you will enjoy the moving backgrounds which are made up of film clips. There are five reels in the game and a massive 243 pay lines which give you so many opportunities to win. There are also free spin bonuses as well as wilds as well.

Iron Man 2

Iron Man 2 slots

If you are a fan of Iron Man 2 then you may prefer this slots game. It is again a five reel game and has 25 lines. All Marvel mystery slot games have a progressive jackpot and this could be randomly triggered at the end of any game and this Iron Man 2 game is no exception. The play is exciting and very entertaining. There is an interactive bonus game where you get to fire lots of weapons which can be a great way to get rid of any built up aggression!

Deal or No Deal

Deal or No Deal slots

This slots game is based on the popular television program. There are five reels and twenty pay lines in the game as well as a progressive jackpot, but you will have to make a maximum bet in order to have a chance of winning it. There is audio with the game which is similar to that on the TV program which makes it feel much more real and fun. You will need to keep holding on if you want a better chance of winning big but deciding how long to wait can be all part of the excitement and fun!

Beach Life

Beach Life

This game is different in that it is not based on a film or television program. However, it has a huge appeal in that there is a two million dollar jackpot. It is a pretty basic game with beach themed pictures and a few wilds but the massive jackpot is something which is a big appeal to many players and could certainly keep the excitement going for a long time.

Of course, this is just a sample of a few of the games that are available. It can be worth trying a few out for yourself to see which you like. Also consider whether it is pictures, sounds, themes or jackpots that attract you to a game so that you can more easily narrow down your choice. Some people would rather to keep playing different games so that things stay more fresh, but others would like to choose a good one and stick with it. It can be good to work out which type of person you are before you start to play too.

Casino Etiquette 101

 Online Casino  

There is a time and place for everything. This holds true even in a casino. Casino games all come with their own etiquette. Each game boasts its own set of unwritten rules that the players are expected to follow, especially if they are really there to play to win. There are more relaxed rules for games like slots than there are for card based games. Even Keno has expectations of its players.

For instance, in the game of craps the shooter may only touch the dice with one hand. The player is not allowed to pass the dice back and forth from hand to hand. It is very important to follow these rules if one wants to remain at the table. While yes, these are games, they are also games dealing with the winning and losing of serious money. No one wants to lose based on the poor manners of another player.

casino-etiquette

Another important rule, whether you play blackjack online or in a casino, before sitting at the table a player needs to look for an empty betting square; not just an empty seat. Players commonly play more than one hand, so an empty seat does not always mean availability at that table. At the poker table on the other hand, an empty seat indicates that as soon as that hand has finished a new player may sit down immediately to participate in the next hand.

Another rule of thumb for casino games is the minimum and maximum bet at any given game table. There is typically a poster located somewhere near the table that indicates what the table minimums and maximums are for that particular game. Knowing these amounts assures no interruptions to the game, and greater enjoyment for all that are playing.

Casino etiquette is not a difficult thing to learn, but it can be a little confusing when a player has to remember the different rules for the different games. This may be one reason that players often stick with one particular game over another. Once they master the rules and workings of one game, it may not seem worth it to walk away and try their hand at another elsewhere.
