Online casinos, also called virtual casinos or Internet casinos, are emulated versions of actual online casinos. Online casinos allow gamblers to play casino games via the Internet. It is now a popular form of internet gambling. Casino games like poker, craps and blackjack can be played at any time from anywhere in the world. Internet-only casinos are also referred to as internet casinos.

Many people do not realize that gambling is legal in Las Vegas, Nevada, as long as you are playing in a public venue and you follow all local gambling laws. Many of the same state laws that apply to casinos also apply to internet casinos. All gamblers must be age 21 or older and be a citizen of the United States. It is illegal for a non-resident to gamble in Las Vegas.

Some internet casinos offer special promotions and incentives to big bettors. Some have progressive jackpots that increase every minute, daily, or even weekly. Others feature free slots or the option to wager money on scratch off tickets. Caution should be used when putting personal information on casino websites, especially those that claim to be casino websites, as many have been known to be scams.
