As an online casino representative I am a little bias... but I can offer my personal point of view. This is an interesting debate and many land based casinos are not happy with online casinos taking a big part of their action...
I played a few times in Atlantic City and there is the whole atmosphere of being in a land based casino, interacting with people on your table and around your table (my favourite casino is the Borgada..).. However I can list many more advantages to playing online.
1. I don't need to spend money on travelling, hotel (I'm not a big gambler so the casino usually doesn't offer me free rooms..). All I need to do it log to my computer...
2. I can sit at home wearing my favourite pj's...
3. No one sees how much money I spend / win... There is more privacy.
4. I get bonus offers and free chips offers which I rarely get at a land base casino. I got a few times a $5 token... but still it doesn't compare with bonuses online.
With all the advantages I guess the disadvantages start when players donât do their homework and start playing at rough online casinos which later hold their winnings. That is why it is important to shop around and read more about the online casino you intend to deposit money with...
Wherever you choose to play I wish you all good luck !!! :cool::cool::cool:
