Jackpot Capital is a well-known online casino with a huge gamer base because we do everything we can to enhance gamers’ pleasure and fun at the casino. Here we will talk about how to avoid scams at both an online jackpot casino and also at many land-based casinos.
The biggest scams apply to both online and land-based casinos and most of the others apply only to land-based casinos.
Take Bonuses Wisely
A bonus can come in the form of a deposit bonus, a no deposit bonus, and free spins. With cash bonuses, there is a wagering requirement that applies. This is a factor of the bonus that you have to bet before you can withdraw winnings.
Now, land-based casinos cannot offer big deposit bonuses because very few players can complete the wagering requirement in the short time they will be at the casino. So, deposit bonuses are offered exclusively by online casinos.
Now, as a gamer at an online casino, you should be aware of two possible scams involving bonuses. One is a withdrawal limit on winnings achieved when betting with the bonus money. Jackpot Capital has no withdrawal limits on regular bets on any game in the casino, but many other online casinos do have withdrawal limits.
The second area where some online casinos scam players is the size of the wagering requirement. It is generally accepted that a wagering requirement of 30x the bonus is fair. Some online casinos have much higher wagering requirements.
The best way to avoid making a mistake in taking a deposit bonus at an online casino is to read the small print that applies to that bonus. The small print is called the terms and conditions. Every casino has terms and conditions, and online casinos have general T and Cs and T and Cs that apply to specific promotions, such as bonuses.
Taking a bonus wisely means reading the terms and conditions carefully. Now, a good number of online casinos make their terms and conditions very hard to read. Here at Jackpot Capital, we have made every possible effort to make our terms and conditions readable to the average gamer. We try to avoid gobbledygook and legalese as much as we can.
Free Food and Alcohol are Land-based Casino Scams
When you take a voucher for a free meal at the buffet, you should know that the free meal costs the casino next to zero dollars and returns to the casino far more than the cost. This is because most people tend to eat too much at a buffet and they get tired as they try to digest that weird combination of food. Tired players make a lot of mistakes in betting and in game play.
Free alcohol actually does cost the casino a bit but that cost is returned to the casino many times over. Alcohol reduces inhibitions and one inhibition that many players at land-based casinos cultivate is to keep their bets moderate. This tends to fly out the window (metaphorically, of course, since land-based casinos don’t have windows, the better to confuse players as to the time). The scam is to offer free alcohol. If you are ever at a land-based casino and you are offered free alcohol, we urge you to say “no, thank you”.
Since this is so hard to do, we recommend that you never go to a land-based casino!

Please Pay Attention to Pay Tables
At Jackpot Capital online casino, we are determined to hold the line on payouts in blackjack and video poker. We pay 3-2 for a blackjack while so many land-based casinos now pay only 6-5. We pay 9-6 for a full house and a flush in video poker while so many land-based casinos now pay only 8-5 or 7-5 for these excellent hands.
These scams are simply two more reasons to avoid many land-based casinos.
Please be Aware of the Return to Player Rates in Slots
Our slots here at Jackpot Capital generally have a return-to-player rate of 97%. The return to player rate for slots at most land-based casinos is closer to 90% or less. This is because the random number generator in slots can be calibrated to a specific return-to-player rate.
Avoid All Forms of Betting Systems
There is a huge difference between game strategy and betting systems. A betting system tells players to adjust their bets after a win or a loss. Correct game strategy is vital to achieving the 99.5% return to player rate in blackjack and video poker.
The most famous betting system is the Martingale. It is sold to players for bets in even money bets. First of all, there are no even money bets in casino games. In roulette, the 0 is a loser unless you bet on it and therefore the so-called even money bets are not exactly so.
Still, the Martingale system applies to these supposedly even-money bets. Now, there are two big flaws in this system. First, when you follow the system successfully, you win back your original bet and no more. Secondly, the system does not take even short losing streaks into account.
Any casino game with so-called even money bets has many short winning streaks and short losing streaks. Let’s take a look at the Martingale System with a four-spin losing streak.
Bet #1: $5 The bet loses
Bet #2: $10 The bet loses
Bet #3: $20 The bet loses
Bet #4: $40 The bet loses
Now the Martingale System asks you to bet $80 to win back your original bet of $5! Even when Secretariat was the massive favorite in the Belmont Stakes many years ago, bettors got a better deal than they would get here in the Martingale System!
Responsible Gaming is Much Easier at an Online Casino
A big scam of sorts that is probably secretly funded by land-based casino operators is that it is much harder to play responsibly at an online casino. This is a scam because when a player is at a land-based casino, there is really very little to do aside from gambling. The shows are relatively short and very expensive. There are day trips outside land-based casino hubs, but who travels to a casino at great expense and expenditure of time to take a day trip?
Actually, we talk about playing online in short sessions since you can play whenever you want to. This makes online casino gaming fun and entertaining and turns gambling into gaming.
Jackpot Capital Casino is Up Front in All Matters
