The online casino industry has exploded massively in popularity in recent years, with more people than ever preferring to gamble via the convenience of their phones and laptops rather than visit a physical casino. So, if you don’t have the time or the energy to get dressed up and visit one of Devon’s land-based casinos then why not visit one of the many new online casinos (such as Slotsia) that are launched each year instead? Here are just some of the benefits and advantages afforded by opting for an online casino: 

Comfort and Convenience

There is no other gambling system more convenient than visiting an online casino: thanks to the rapid growth of mobile gaming technology, it now doesn’t matter where you are or how much time you have, you can get online and play in seconds. That means that whether you’re waiting for a bus, or enjoying a coffee break, your favourite online casino can be accessed via your phone. In fact, your location is entirely irrelevant when it comes to online gambling and online gaming. Global access means that you can be playing at a Las Vegas casino with friends from California, when in reality you’re sitting on your sofa in Exeter. Which, of course, means that if you don’t feel like donning a dress or making like Bond in a tux you don’t have to: you’re more than welcome to play in your pyjamas and no one will ever know! You will have access to the same traditional games that are offered by land-based casinos as well as new and innovative formats that are unique to the online casino arena. 

It’s also important to note that online casinos offer exceptional value for money because, unlike traditional land-based casinos, it is possible to play for free by taking advantage of free games, offers, and cash back deals. These provide a risk-free way to hone your game playing skills and entertain yourself without any financial risk or investment. And when you do choose to play for cash you’ll find that online casinos offer the kind of value for money that simply cannot be compared to that offered by land-based casinos, largely because online casinos have much fewer overheads than their land-based counterparts. 

Speed and Security

When you enter an online casino, you will have to set up an account for security reasons before you can play: this isn’t a time-consuming process, and simply means that if you do win you can access those funds, whilst simultaneously protecting your personal information, and preventing underage gamers (and anyone else who shouldn’t be accessing the site) from playing. The best online casinos are as safe as banks, using the latest encryption technology to protect player details from cyber criminals with poor intentions. This means that you can relax, knowing that your bank account details and any other personal information that you share before you play are protected. 

Once you’ve established an account at an online casino, getting online and playing is incredibly fast, which is one of the reasons online gambling is such an appealing hobby. 

An Attractive Hobby

For these reasons, and many more, it’s easy to see why online gambling is such an attractive hobby and why more and more people are drawn to it each year. According to the UK gambling commission, there are Over 25 million adult gamblers in the UK, with 10.5 million of these gamblers choosing to play online. As mobile gaming capabilities improve, and Britons become increasingly time poor thanks to longer working hours and other demands, it’s easy to see why they would turn to the convenience of online casinos rather than plan and travel for a trip to a land-based one.
