The fact is there are good points to online and land based casinos, as well as the bad for both. However I cannot think of a bad experience I have had at our local land based, but then I don't go overboard there either.
The draw back for me regarding online casinos is;
Like I stated before, it's always here, open and ready to take my money.
If I win and withdraw, my money sits there in pending staring at me for 48 plus hours, tempting me to re-deposit and play some more.
There are so many strings and drawbacks to bonuses such as wagering requirements. I rarely take a bonus when I deposit and still have to wait for an approval on a withdrawal, which I think this is ridiculous if there is no bonus involved.
The constant and consistant fact that they may have good days for some as far as payouts go, but for most of us, NOT! Just look at what people are saying about how things have tightened up, some at 75 deposits with zero return. Where seriously is the fun in that?
Not to mention having to give your personal financial information to these places just to get your money. Faxing and emailing this info to people we don't know and can only hope and trust our private information doesn't get in the wrong hands. Some of my personal financial info is also at casinos that are Rogue/Blacklisted as well, so I will always be worried about that fact.
At least with our land based casino, if I get bonuses from my players club card, there are no strings attached, no wagering requirements, just go and have fun with it. When I cashout, the money goes straight into my purse, no waiting for approvals or anything, just take it and go.
Yes I agree, the ambience is so much better than the same ol, same ol I have at home. I like the noise for a change and the people milling around and I have not seen depressed people at the land based, but then I don't go often either. We get a lot of seniors bused in from Pheonix and they are friendly and it's enjoyable talking to new people while playing. When I feel I have exhausted my time there I just get back in my car and 12 minutes later I'm back home and feel I have had a good day away from the computer, tv, mother in law, the daily routine that never changes.
