3 Things New Players Always Get Wrong

Get Your Facts Right

Players who are new to the world of slots will find an exciting journey awaits, but it can be a bit overwhelming.

With an untold number of online slots to choose from, endless promotions found at each site, and new payment methods turning up all the time, it's no wonder that new players can feel confused.

This isn't a unique experience – in fact, there are a number of mistakes that most new players make, or think.

Let's take a look at the most common examples, and clear up any misunderstandings once and for all.

1. Slots Don't Run Hot or Cold

This has been one of the biggest myths surrounding slots for years, with players across the world wondering if their favourite slot is running hot or cold.

The idea is simple – if a slot pays out big, it won't pay out for a while afterwards, but if it hasn't triggered a feature in a while, it will be ‘due' to payout.

This isn't true, which is actually good news for players.

All slots come with an RNG (Random Number Generator), which ensures every spin remains independent from the previous and remains random.

Each outcome thrown up by any slot after a player presses the spin button has zero influence placed upon it.

2. Bonuses Aren’t Too Good to Be True

Many new players are suspicious of casino bonuses, especially if they aren't aware of the intricacies of these offers.

It's understandable really – if you're new to this world and you see an offer promising to double your deposit or give you spins on popular games completely for free, it seems too good to be true.

However, players need to understand that these bonuses are planned meticulously, giving players an extra boost to try out the site without the casino coming out behind.

The house always has the edge, and that doesn't stop being true just because there's a bonus on offer.

3. Payment Methods Aren't All The Same

It's often assumed that the process of depositing or withdrawing from an online casino is the same no matter the method.

In reality, the payment method chosen can have a number of impacts – from the bonuses you can claim to how long you'll have to wait on your funds if you're lucky enough to make a withdrawal.

When making a deposit at a new casino, always check if there are any limitations on certain methods, like e-wallets not being eligible for bonuses, which is a fairly common term we see.

Additionally, be sure to analyse the expected payment processing times before making your choice, and weigh this against the pros and cons of each banking method.
