Why do we online gamble with real money?

It seems strange to some people that we, as fans of the online casino world, choose to spend our time and money in a virtual environment. Why not just go to an actual brick and mortar casino? Surely that’s a more ‘fun’ environment to spend our cash in?
What they don’t understand is that it’s not the flashing lights, the fast food restaurants, the crowds of people and the ‘other’ entertainment options like movies and retail stores that attract us.

In fact, for many of us these are the exact reasons we DON’T want to go to a physical casino. The unnecessary costs of travel, parking, food, drink, etc. are expenses that could be put to better use on our favourite game at our favourite online casino.
Plus, there’s all that hassle of having to get dressed and deal with a bunch of people that we don’t really know or maybe that we don’t want to know.

When you cut out all the background noise, you can focus on what really matters. For the online gambling community, it’s all about the fun and excitement of the games.
And knowing that we have real cash on the line.

Playing gambling games for fun is all fine and good, but the real action comes from having a real stake in the game. After all, for serious gamblers it’s all about pitting your skills and luck against the house and you want to have something to show for it at the end of the day.

And nothing feels quite as good as knowing you’re a winner, unless it’s knowing you’re a winner with the proof sitting in your account.
Some days might not go your way and you might find Lady Luck is not on your side. That’s OK. It happens. Part of being a winner is knowing that you can’t chase good money after bad, and that there is always another day – so you walk away.

This is one of the most crucial things to know about online gambling with real money – make a budget, set a limit, and when the cards are against you or the reels are not stopping where you want them to – walk away.
Knowing that you have a set budget of money that, in a worst-case scenario, you can afford to lose makes the winning all the sweeter.
And when you do go back and the odds are in your favour, use your winnings to keep playing and keep your stake safe for another day.

That’s the thrill of online gambling with real money. The anticipation, the rush of excitement, the disappointment, the glorious moment when you hit that win. It’s like sports fans that follow the ups and downs of their favourite teams or players, you never know how it will end but you know that while the game is on, you’re transported from your normal life, your day-to-day work and home life, into another realm.

A realm filled with possibility. Where excitement and risk are around every corner.
Playing with real money makes that realm feel even more real. Real money for real risks and real rewards.
It’s why we gamble online for real money.

Remember, winners know when to walk away and try their luck another day.
