The Anatomy of Casino Scams

One of the biggest misconceptions about casino scams is taken from movies, where you have a huge crew of skilled thieves who outsmart the casino owner and their security and take huge amounts of money. Real scams happen every day, but they are not over the top, and nothing like you saw in the movies. They usually look like routine play, nothing that forces a dealer or a supervisor to stop and ask questions. That is why the most damaging incidents in high-stakes casino history were not spectacula...

Land-based vs Online Casinos VIP Programs Comparison

If you are comparing land-based vs online casinos in any field, you are certainly not a casual player. Especially when it comes to VIP programs comparison, the question is asked only by people who are playing at high-stakes casinos. A decade ago, this comparison barely existed.

High-Stakes Live Casino Etiquette

High-stakes casino VIP table etiquette is different compared to playing at standard tables online, and your home, friendly games.

Complete Guide to Wire Transfers at Online Casinos

Regular casino players, especially high-rollers, are aware of the importance of having multiple payment methods for deposit and withdrawal available.

What to Expect from a Casino VIP Host

A casino VIP host is a person whose goal is to retain high rollers at their casino. Land-based casinos, especially in Las Vegas, were the first to introduce such a role. After it was proven fruitful, high-stakes online casinos followed, and now every bigger casino has a VIP host. Once a player reaches a certain threshold (which can be between $5,000 and $25,000, depending on the casino), they will be introduced to the VIP casino program. They'll get a dedicated VIP host, who will do everythin...
