Gambling School Introduction

Welcome to GamblingPlanet.org's 'online gambling school'. In the pages that follow, you'll find a step-by-step introduction to the world of online gambling organized by key topics. Newcomers or beginner players will probably want to start out with our intro lessons (more or less numbers 1-10) while others of you with some experience can probably bypass our early sections and move onto later lessons which deal more directly with specific subjects.

The school has been set up with the goal of providing a thorough, yet quick, introduction to online gambling that will ultimately lead to a more enjoyable and informed gambling experience once inside the casinos. We suggest that you check out all of the lessons, but for those of you already familiar with many of the subjects and instructions, feel free to move ahead to later training sessions (although, a 'refresher' never hurt anyone!) and/or to topics specific to your interest(s). Within each lesson, you'll also find links to other sections of our site which go even further in depth on a particular topic. Check back often to see what new lessons and topics we're covering in the weeks and months to come.

Lessons 1-5 offer advice and information that everyone should know BEFORE downloading any software, depositing any money, and/or making any bets! In other words, if you're really just starting out and curious about gambling, the information which follows in these lessons is a broad introduction to gambling in general. It is here that you'll hopefully find answers to some of your most basic questions and be made aware of all the things to consider before participating in any gambling activity.

Lessons 6-10 continue a bit along this path in that they remain 'introductory' in nature and focus on things to also consider before playing with real money. However, unlike Lessons 1-5, numbers 6-10 become more specific and relate specifically to topics regarding online casinos and your first encounters with them.

In lessons 11-15, we've outlined a handful of the most popular and well-known casino games in order to give you a brief introduction as to what each activity entails. Once you've practiced more and become more familiar with each game, you'll probably want to visit our strategy section for more specific advice. After having gone through those lessons and having practiced online, we think you're probably ready and eager for more complex information that may be of increased interest to you as your gambling skills and experience develop.

Accordingly, the topics in lessons 16-20 address issues and subjects that are pertinent to 'developed' players or players looking ahead to where they might like to be in a few years and after some more experience.
