The hankering for making fast money may be as old as human civilized life. Betting was prevalent in many parts of the world from the dawn of time. The first reference of wagering is located in archaic scriptures where one can see the talk of games of Dice played by Kings and Lords across the world. The betting developed in selection and alternatives over time and the most exciting and popular among them was the betting on Horse racing.

With the penetration and popularity of the web, the online betting established sometime in the year 1996 with a few casino pages making the debut, became one of the most chosen internet activity. Today the estimated annual revenue from these web sites numbering thousands is more than 7000 million dollars. That works out to around $19 million per day and speaks loudly about the popularity and turnover of internet gambling pages.

Betting on the internet comes with benefits and risks. The advantages being bigger, online wagering has surpassed the original wagering around the globe. The initial and chief amongst them is the comfort and the selection the Internet provides for bettors. The sites, which continue to build in numbers every second, offer a wide array of gambling games such as the familiar slots attracting the gamblers for the ever elusive Jackpot, the day-to-day man’s playing card games, craps, and roulette. Each provides different excitements.
