How to Actually Make Money with Online Casino Games
If you’ve ever played casino games online, then you certainly know that they are all about luck.
Except for poker, you won’t be able to use your skills to play any of them with more success.
This effectively means you can’t score consistent wins playing online casino games.
However, that doesn’t imply that the games are rigged in any way — it just means that, when luck is involved, there’s no telling what the outcome will be.
Despite all that, there are still methods you can implement in your casino gambling experience if you want to make more money from these games. So, let’s take a look at what you need to learn if you want to earn more significant profits while having fun.
Always Learn How to Play the Game
Most 1 dollar casino games are easy to play (especially video slots), but that doesn’t mean you should avoid learning the basics before you begin. In other words — you have to study the game carefully if you want to make money from it.
With slots, you can’t just jump headfirst into any new game. You need to read up on the RTP, the volatility, and what the game has to offer first to ensure it’s worth playing. Then, try it for free to see all of that in practice. Only after you’ve played it for a while and read up on the rules and features should you start playing it with real money.
The same goes for table games, even the live dealer ones. You can’t just play a live dealer game without doing some research first, as that’s a sure-fire way to lose your money.
Don’t Get Distracted By the Dealer
Speaking of live dealer games, there’s another piece of advice we can give you here. If you want to play these games, you should never get distracted by how attractive the dealers are or what they are doing. This can easily lead to you not thinking clearly when playing, thus investing more money than you wanted.
Human dealers are trained to exploit your weaknesses, and no matter how innocent they pretend to be, you should not get distracted by them. Play your game, and don’t pay too much attention to them.
Use the Bonus Offers and Other Promotions
As long as you’ve read the terms to see whether they are favourable, you should definitely use bonuses to your advantage.
This is especially true with no deposit offers, match bonuses, and free spins. You rarely have anything to lose here, as you probably would have used the same amount of money on gambling anyway. However, this way, you’ll use it not only to gamble but also to gain additional bonus funds or free spins.
Before you claim any offer, make sure to read what the wagering requirements and limits are, as these are the most important bonus terms you need to know. Don’t claim bonuses that allow you to win only small amounts and never claim offers with massive wagering requirements, i.e. anything above 40 times.
Never Invest More Than You’re Willing to Lose
With all forms of gambling, you must have a specific budget in advance. That way, you’ll always invest only the money you’re willing to lose.
However, you have to learn how to control yourself as well. Don’t rush for the credit card if you’ve lost it all. It’s much better to give up than to go about chasing your losses, as that’s precisely when you start losing more money than you should. Remain calm and allow yourself to think clearly. After all, you can always come back another day.
Don’t Look for Patterns — These are Luck-Based Games
Always remember that casino games are based on luck, which means that they are entirely random. As long as they come from respectable software providers and use Random Number Generators (RNGs), there’s no point in looking for patterns on how they work.
Therefore, even if it might look like the occurrences are orchestrated, you need to remember that they are not. Sometimes it might seem like they are, but this is just your mind playing tricks on you, trying to find some patterns, as it does with anything in life.
The Bottom Line
Making money with online casino games is not easy, but it’s certainly possible. You only need to rely on your brain, not your heart, and use the advice you’ve found in this short guide. If you go down that road, you’re bound to win more than you have in the past.

Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO)
Soft2Bet strengthens integrity monitoring with IBIA membership in Ontario
Soft2Bet, a leading casino and sportsbook platform provider, has joined the International Betting Integrity Association (IBIA) and activated its membership in Ontario, Canada, following its licensing in the Canadian province.
Soft2bet obtained its Certificate of Registration from the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) at the end of March, where the company’s Ontario-focused brand Tooniebet.com will now feed into IBIA’s world-leading sports betting integrity monitoring platform before worldwide implementation in the coming months.
IBIA includes over 50 of the world’s leading sports betting and gaming companies, who operate over 125 sports betting brands. Soft2Bet’s decision to join the association further strengthens its own internal betting integrity protocols and IBIA’s position as the world’s leading sports betting integrity monitoring body.
David Yatom Hay, General Counsel at Soft2Bet, commented: “Soft2Bet is delighted to be joining the IBIA as we strengthen our own betting integrity monitoring processes and play our part in furthering the IBIA’s long-standing work on this key issue. Ontario is a world class iGaming jurisdiction; it will be the first market where we will implement our IBIA membership and we look forward to deploying the monitoring infrastructure worldwide in all the other markets in which we operate.”
Khalid Ali, CEO of IBIA, said: “Soft2Bet is a very welcome addition to IBIA, further strengthening our position in the Ontario market. The operator’s decision to join IBIA demonstrates its desire to utilise the best integrity protection available for its sportsbook product. The association is delighted to be able to integrate Tooniebet within our integrity monitoring system and looks forward to working closely with Soft2Bet to maintain the high integrity of its sportsbook.”
IBIA is a not-for-profit body that has no competing conflicts with the delivery of commercial services to other sectors and is run by operators and for operators to protect regulated sports betting markets from match-fixing. IBIA’s global monitoring network is a highly effective anti-corruption tool, detecting and reporting suspicious activity in regulated betting markets.
Through the IBIA monitoring network it is possible to track transactional activities linked to individual customer accounts. IBIA members generate more than $300bn in annual betting turnover (handle), accounting for approximately 50% of the global commercial regulated land-based and online sports betting sector, and in excess of 50% for online alone.
IBIA recently released a report on the Availability of Sports Betting Products which highlighted Ontario as a leading regulated gambling jurisdiction, with an expected onshore channelisation for sports betting of 92% in 2024 forecast to rise to 97% in2028. IBIA currently represents over 60% of the private sports betting operators licensed in the province. All online sportsbetting operators licensed in Ontario are required to be part of a betting integrity monitoring body.
IBIA’s Q1 2024 report detailed 56 alerts during the quarter. IBIA alerts contributed to the investigations and subsequent successful sanctioning of 21 clubs, players and officials in 2023, an increase on the 15 sanctioned in 2022.

AGCO Requires Ontario Gaming Operators to Stop Offering WBA Bets Due to Integrity Concerns
The Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO) has mandated all Ontario-registered sportsbook operators to halt offering and accepting wagers on World Boxing Association (WBA) events immediately. This measure is being taken to protect the Ontario betting public following concerns that WBA-sanctioned boxing matches are not adequately being safeguarded against match-fixing and insider betting.
Since December 2023, the AGCO has been conducting a comprehensive review of suspicious wagering activity on a WBA-sanctioned title fight between Yoenis Tellez and Livan Navarro that was held in Orlando, Florida. Suspicious betting patterns on the bout lasting over 5.5 rounds were reported to the AGCO by two registered independent integrity monitors and detected in Ontario by a registered igaming operator. Media reports also alleged that Tellez’s Manager placed $110,000 on the match lasting longer than 5.5 rounds at a Florida casino. The bout ended with Tellez knocking out Navarro in the 10th round.
Following an intensive review that included outreach to the WBA, Ontario-registered gaming operators, independent integrity monitors, and regulators in other jurisdictions, the AGCO has concluded that bets related to WBA events do not currently meet the Registrar’s Standards for Internet Gaming.
The AGCO requires all Ontario-registered gaming operators to ensure the sport betting products they offer are on events that are effectively supervised by a sport governing body. At a minimum, the sport governing body must have and enforce codes of conduct that prohibit betting by insiders.
Registered gaming operators were unable to demonstrate to the AGCO that the WBA prohibits betting from insiders, which could include an athlete’s coaches, managers, handlers, athletic trainers, medical professionals, or others with access to non-public information. Further, registered gaming operators were unable to demonstrate that the WBA took any action to investigate or enforce the allegations of potential match-fixing and insider wagering.
The AGCO has indicated to registered operators that in order for WBA betting products to be reinstated in Ontario, operators must demonstrate that the WBA effectively supervises its events, thus bringing them into compliance with the Registrar’s Standards. In December 2022, the AGCO required gaming operators to stop offering bets on UFC events for similar issues related to insider betting safeguards. Within a month, UFC amended its policies and implemented new protocols that allowed the AGCO to reinstate betting on UFC events in the province.
“Ontarians who wish to bet on sporting events need to be confident that those events are fairly run, and that clear integrity safeguards are in place and enforced by an effective sport governing body. Knowing the popularity of boxing in Ontario, we look forward to reinstating betting on WBA events once appropriate safeguards against possible match-fixing and insider betting have been confirmed,” Dr. Karin Schnarr, Registrar and CEO of AGCO, said.
