Etiquette
        In the etiquette section of our site you will find a short description of behavior expected from every user of virtual casino. This is valuable information not only for new players entering online gambling world, but also a very good form of refreshment for experienced veteran players, who sometimes forget about some important issues. This section has been created because a number of online casinos users, mostly because by mistake and not intentionally, don’t behave according with widely accepted code of conduct when gambling online.
If you follow exactly our recommendations and tips in this section, you will ensure both fun gambling for you and other players and also be secured against committing some stupid mistakes that can sometimes really frustrate. We hope you will make use of this etiquette section.

Online Casino Etiquette: Expectations and Code of Conduct
        Firstly, and it’s of the highest importance, so always remember about this, keep in mind that other players are around you and be kind to them. If everyone follows this rule, you should expect being nicely treated by other players. Such a system makes gambling really good form of entertainment for everyone.
So, one more time, always be kind and polite to other players. All ideas of this etiquette are based on this first and the most important rule.

        Play only the games that you are fully familiarized with and its rules: In case of online gambling this shouldn’t be any problem, since it’s possible at almost every virtual casino to play all the games also in free mode to get familiarized with the game without losing any money.

        Do not slow down the games: Generally virtual gambling is much faster than gambling in land based casinos, and this is one of its biggest advantage. So try to maintain the speed of the game. When required take some breaks for analysis, but you shouldn’t deliberately slow down the game as a politeness to other gamblers.
Follow the chat rules: In chat feature there is no place for vulgarity, criticizing other gamblers, or stupid comments. Many players like virtual gambling since it offers complete anonymousness and when somebody wants only to gamble and not talk, accept this. It’s also not allowed in the chat to place any forms of advertisements, criticize the site, and talking about the present situation of the game. And also never use ALL CAPS, since it means you're shouting so other users can misunderstand you (unless you have serious reason to shout).

        In case you and other person use the same computer for gambling but on different accounts, inform the casino about this. Do this also, when after gambling from usual place, you move to other location. In case you and other person use various computers for gambling, but at the same place, do not play simultaneously.
If you find a user of the online casino who does not behave according to this etiquette, it is in your and other players’ interest to provide casino operator with the information about such a user without delay.
English language is generally used for communication so use only it. The only exemption are specially defined other-language tables. Communication in the same language enables everyone to avoid misunderstandings and everyone is sure about the situation during the game.

        There is a huge difference between the virtual casinos and the land based casinos in the area of behavior rules and etiquette (probably this is one of the causes of popularity of the virtual casinos), however, it doesn’t mean everything is allowed in online gambling. A few above mentioned rules ought to be followed be everyone in order to ensure courtesy to other players, avoid slowing down game speed and communicate unequivocally.
