Moneybookers

If you’re looking to deposit at an online casino, chances are you’ve given the payment method you’d like to deposit by a bit of thought as well. While there’s a variety of methods available – including the ever reliable credit/debit card processors and even prepay cards, ewallets are also equally popular. In particular, NETeller and Moneybookers are often considered as leading payment method brands and are available to use in a range of casinos, including the likes of Betfair and William Hill.

Video Poker at Intercasino

In today’s blog we’ll be discussing the video poker payouts at online casinos such as Intercasino and 32Red. The majority of our featured casinos regularly offer payout percentages reports and, using these, it’s possible to find out the best online casino payouts for video poker. Rather than having to search through them yourself, we’ll compile the data below.

In November 2009, Intercasino offered a payout of 101.13 percent on their video poker games, meaning they gave players an edge of over 1 percent. Simply put, this means that players had a long term expectancy of gaining cash by wagering on Intercasino’s game. Usually, the payout rate is set in the favour of the casino, so over the long-run the house would have an advantage over players. In November though, the roles were reversed and Intercasino were technically running at a loss, because of their notably high video poker payouts.

While it’s hard to beat Intercasino’s video poker payouts, in December William Hill Casino offered a payout rate of 96.90 percent. This means that they maintained a house edge of 3.1 percent over players and while this isn’t bad, it doesn’t quite compare with Intercasino’s incredibly low house edge and consequent high payouts.

As the UK economy staggers along, growing at minimal rates (just 0.1% in the past quarter), many of us are tightening our financial belts and looking for the best deals online. Here at Casino Online, we’ve received several messages from players looking for online casinos which accept a minimum deposit of £20 or less. Well, in today’s blog, we’ll be discussing the lowest deposits you can make at three specially selected online casinos.

Beginning with Intercasino, this Cryptologic powered online casino has a range of deposit methods available. For those who are watching their pennies, we recommend depositing via Moneybookers, as by using the coupon code MONEYB in the cashier, you can receive a 200% bonus. As the minimum deposit is just £10, this means that if you deposit £20, you’ll receive £40 extra in bonus money – bringing your total balance to £60. To claim this promotion, visit our Intercasino bonus codes page.

Next up is William Hill Casino, which offers a £30 no deposit bonus. This means that you don’t even have to make a deposit at the casino – William Hill will give you £30 free to begin playing with. If you’d like to find out more about this bonus, simply check out our no deposit casino bonuses page, where you’ll find details on all the no deposit bonuses available at our featured casinos, including William Hill.

Casino Winnings

Let’s face it, very few, if any casinos offer blackjack promotions. In an age where casinos tend to have the upper hand in most games, blackjack has always proved to be a player favourite, mainly because it’s possible to manipulate the game in your favour. While it’s technically not possible to card count in online blackjack, by applying basic strategy players can still reduce the house edge.

Which is why it’s surprising that Intercasino have opted to feature blackjack as their eligible game in this week’s tournament. With an entry fee of just £10 and a total prize pool of £500, players can take part in a low cost tournament which they could end up winning. There’s a range of prizes on offer, including £100 for the player who wins the tournament, as well as £50 for the first runner up. With 30 minutes of play time and the chance to take part at any point this week (up until the 7th of February), there’s never been a better time to find out if you have what it takes to beat the casino at blackjack.

For more details on how to play this popular card game, make sure to read our online blackjack guide, where you’ll find a general overview of the game as well as a blackjack glossary. Alternatively, visit Intercasino now to take part in this week’s tournament – It’s really not to be missed.
