Playing live casino games is super exciting and has been my preferred way of gambling for the last few years. It’s the closest you can get to a land-based casino feel without having to give up the comfort of your own home. I know from my own experience that it can also be super intimidating especially for first-time players or for someone who is used to RNG- based games. So, to the rescue, here I am! These will be my simple tips on playing with a live dealer and I hope to prove that it’s nothing to be afraid of!

The first and most important step is finding a reliable casino! My advice is to do your own research and look for a safe and fair live platform. Don’t be fooled by generous promo offers, always read the fine print! It’s better to have a smaller game variety or not so tempting bonus offers than to lay your trust on a shady operator.

Next, make sure that technology won’t fail you! For live gambling, you will need a really high-speed internet connection and a reliable computer. Don’t get me wrong, you are not required to have NASA-worthy internet indicators, just make sure that your connection is at least average or above. This way you will avoid losing the live stream at the most critical moment which can be frustrating.

Before joining any live dealer table, I would suggest loading your cash balance as much as you can afford. Live games have typically higher bet limits as they are very popular among high rollers. Be prepared by researching the different table limits before entering the live stream, so that you don’t land on a table which you can’t afford. If you have already done that, my next tip would also come in handy. Never chase losses. If today isn’t your lucky day, just leave the casino! And this applies to all casino game, not just to the live ones.

My final tip is to always practice your best manners while playing. It’s super important to know the live casino etiquette simply because you are not alone. There are other people on the table as well as a dealer. Whatever you do treat them with respect, don’t share any personal information and don’t promote any other live dealer platforms. It’s considered rude and unacceptable. What also annoys me as a regular gambler is when someone is taking the free seat on any table without actually playing. That is also not very polite and unnecessary. If you just want to observe a live game, that is not the place to do it! This way you could deprive other people of the chance to play for real.

Last but not least, don’t forget to have fun! This is my go-to philosophy when playing any odds games! When you take it too seriously, it starts to feel like too much stress and that is not the main idea, at least not for me!
