Online gambling is any type of gambling conducted via the internet. This includes casinos, live casinos and virtual poker. The first online gambling site opened to the public, was live ticketing for the first annual Liechtenstein International Poker Tournament in October 1994.

Today there are literally dozens of sites offering a variety of online gambling games. These include casino style poker games, slots games, blackjack games, bingo and even video poker and roulette. There are also welcome bonuses offered at many of these sites, some you can cash in for gifts and prizes. For example, if you deposit money into your new online gambling account, you may be able to get a welcome bonus, that when used towards your deposit will double your initial deposit.

When you want to gamble online, one of the first things you need to do is research your favorite online gambling websites. Most will offer you a free initial online gambling information and a FAQ page or information page about the website itself. They usually don’t offer any betting or gaming advice. If you want to bet and learn more about how they work, you should go to their dedicated betting and gaming sections. Many offer newsletters as well and you can sign up for their email list.
