What is Online Casino?
Online casinos, also known as virtual casinos or internet casinos, are online versions of traditional casinos. Online casinos enable gamblers to play and wager on casino games through the Internet. It is a prolific form of online gambling.

Online casinos generally offer odds and payback percentages that are comparable to land-based casinos. Some online casinos claim higher payback percentages for slot machine games, and some publish payout percentage audits on their websites. Assuming that the online casino is using an appropriately programmed random number generator, table games like blackjack have an established house edge.

The payout percentage for these games are established by the rules of the game. Many online casinos rent or buy their software from companies like NetEnt, CryptoLogic Inc (now Amaya), International Game Technology, Microgaming, Playtech, and Realtime Gaming.

Different kind of games
Online Casinos usually offers a large selection of games. The games are both old classics like roulette and blackjack, as well as new slot machines and video slots.

Bonuses
Many online casinos offer different kind of bonuses to new and recurring players. These bonuses are a form of marketing that may incur a cost for the casino. Since all casino games have a house edge, the wagering requirements ensure that the player cannot simply walk away with the casino's money immediately after claiming the bonus. These wagering requirements are commonly set to be sufficiently high that the player has a negative expectation, exactly as if they had deposited and not claimed a bonus.

Some common bonuses are free spins, welcome bonus and no deposit bonus.
