Nowadays, there are thousands of casino sites online that provide an immersive gambling experience to their members. But, there are also fraudulent sites or sites that don’t invest a lot of time and effort to take care of their members—this is why it’s very important to play on reliable online casinos like www.novicasino.com, for example. Here we provide an overview of five important factors you need to take into consideration before you register on a new online casino.

Legitime Casino Sites

Reputable online casinos hold a license or multiple licenses issued by licensing authority like the Government of Gibraltar, Malta Gaming Authority, the UK Gambling Commission, among others. You should look for the license of the casino in the ‘About’ section of the website, or in the footer on the site. When you play on a site that has a valid license, you’ll be glad to know that it is a reliable casino that works according to the latest regulations and laws.

Safe Casino Site

When you play on casino sites, you make deposits and withdraw your funds, which requires sensitive information, like your bank account number and personal data. Also, many casino sites require verification documents to verify your account, upon your first withdrawal request or deposit. This is another reason why you should play on sites that have an SSL certificate, which means that they use 128-bit SSL encryption technology. Hence, you can rest assured that your data is safe.

Customer Support

Good casino sites have a reliable customer support team that you can contact by multiple methods. Preferably, they are available 24/7 but also see if you can reach them via phone, email, or a live chat option.

This is a very important factor, as you can encounter different issues like forgetting your password or problem with your withdrawal request, either way, you might have questions and problems that require immediate attention, and then you need direct communication and prompt response by a customer support representative.

Exclusive Benefits and Promotions

If you already have more experience, then it’s good to evaluate the loyalty program of the casino. There are casino sites that offer special VIP treatment for their loyal members, such as special bonuses, same-day withdrawals, exclusive gifts, and other advantages. You can compare multiple sites and see what offers are appealing to you.

Otherwise, a lot of casino sites have ongoing promotions and offers available for regular guests. They can have seasonal offers, free spins, among other promotions. But, make sure you also take the time to read the terms and conditions before you make your decision.

Payment Options

Before you register on a casino site, check their payment options for deposits and withdrawals. You might be more comfortable to play on a site that has payment methods you use on a daily basis like PayPal, for instance. Furthermore, you need to check the casino’s deposit and withdrawal terms. For example, make sure you know how much is the withdrawal limit and the minimum amount you need to deposit before you start playing.

The world of casinos is one unmatched by any other out there. The magic that typically flows through the air brings a sense of wonder and excitement that keeps players constantly coming back for more. It’s not surprising that many can’t resist the glitz and glamour of a luxurious casino, they were created to entice people as much as they can after all, yet in the digital age, it seems that online casinos are quite the contender. These websites have been only growing since their humble beginnings, and here’s why that is and why you should consider playing in one.

With everything going on in the world right now, and casinos such as the one in Gananoque closed down, more and more people are looking into playing at online casinos.

As someone who has played at online casinos for years, I thought it would benefit people to give a quick write-up on the benefits of online casinos over a traditional casino.

A Variety of Options

Sure traditional casinos have a certain charm to them, but when it comes to online casinos, it’s the options that people love. While we can be limited by the choices of parlors in our near vicinity, with online casinos we have the whole internet in our grasp. Finding a casino you fancy and playing from the comfort of your own home is as easy as pie. All you need is the web address for some of the best like www.casimba.com and you’re on your way.

When it comes to the magic of online casinos, not only can you pick and choose the website you’d like to visit, but you have a larger pool of games to enjoy. Traditional casinos are often limited by physical space and can only host so many games, but with online casinos, this isn’t a problem. You can find thousands of games on a single website and play to your heart’s contempt.

Frequent Promotions

One of the things players love most about online casinos is the fact that they frequently run different types of promotions that are sure to enhance your experience. Thanks to these hefty bonuses, players can enjoy a lot more time playing their favorite games, and often have an increased chance of winning big thanks to the extra credits they’re provided.

Bonuses aren’t the only thing that players can typically find in online casinos though. It’s not unusual to see online casinos hosting tournaments or holiday-themed events that commonly garner a large jackpot. The good thing about these tournaments is that anyone can participate for a chance at the gold as long as they meet the minimum requirements, which aren’t hard to achieve.

A Different Kind of Luxury

As mentioned previously, one of the biggest reasons people visit casinos is because they easily make you feel like a million bucks. Online casinos aren’t a physical place so they might be lacking a bit in this department, but they do offer a different type of luxury that you can surely enjoy. Online casino websites are in most cases designed to be eye-catching and beautiful.

Through their graceful design and seamless functioning across different platforms, they simulate to the best of their power a feeling of elegance that gets people comfortable when enjoying their games. For those that truly can’t do without the casino atmosphere, Live Casinos are a great option that might be comforting.

March in Kingston in 2020 is just a great month with so many excellent events taking place.

Plus we DO have our own “March Madness” in the form of the Harlem Globetrotters at the end of the month! Always a fun show.

We of course have the Brier. The Kingston Canadian Film Festival. Kevin McDonald! Queen: It’s A Kinda Magic. Miz Cracker. And oh so much more.

A great time to live in Kingston with such an awesome variety of events. Let’s hope the weather is nice so we can go out without our big coat and boots to some of these events.

Feb Fest 2020 is underway in Kingston and I just wanted to take the time to say what a great job the City of Kingston has been doing in regard to Feb Fest.

Up until 2017, Feb Fest was only a weekend event. It would take place over the course of 3 days. It was fairly basic with hockey, skating, snow forts, a slide and a maze.

Heck does anyone remember the 2016 Feb Fest disaster? The weather was brutal that weekend but not in the way we are used to. There was no snow! So all the plans for Feb Fest 2016 that involved snow, such as the snow sculpture competition and the ice slide? All had to be canceled!

2018 was the first year that the city realized “Hey – February lasts a whole month so why can’t we?”

So instead of just a weekend long event, we have a month long event. And as the years have passed, we have seen more and more additions to it.

The evolution of Feb Fest in 2020 however is fantastic and I hope the city keeps this up going forward.

Theme skate nights every Tuesday is a great idea. Disney Theme Skate on February 11th for example. This is the type of thing that will bring out different audiences and that’s smart.

Then the Toast to Tapas where every week it’s a different event. Week 3 is Beer Theme Week for example. Week 4 is Bacon Theme Week. Something that brings people out of their element.

It’s been fun walking downtown and seeing people enjoying the Wagon Rides on Saturdays. Then we’ve had events such as the Maple Leafs Fan Zone and the entire Hockey weekend and Hockey Day in Kingston. Or events to get people into new things such as learning to skate, come play shinny etc.

I really like that they incorporated Family Day into this on the 17th. It’s good to have more Family Day events around the city. As a father myself with two kids I’ve found it tough at times over the years with only a few family day events, they are always busy. Now with more events such as Family Day activities in Feb Fest, I have the option of going to that or knowing that more people will be attending that, leaving there to be more events at other events around the city.

Family Day for Feb Fest 2020 is an excellent event for those who aren’t aware of it – it’s all focused on 10am-2pm. There are numerous activities and games, roasting marshmallows, a family skate of course, wagon rides and my personal favourite – Improbable Escapes games.

I do think they can do more for Feb Fest however it is always evolving and I hope that continues to evolve. I know it’s difficult to do outdoor events with the weather but it’s also good to encourage people to get out. The weather has been hit or miss in February but there have been some warm days as well where there has been no problem getting out.

It’d be nice if there was some sort of warm tent set up where people could take a break from the cold weather for a bit. Maybe just full of art for the kids to do, some online slots UK for the adults or some books to read. I know the library is close by so it’d be cool if they could get involved in it in some manner.

Either way, Feb Fest 2020 has been a heck of a success and I am looking forward to seeing what the city brings us next year.

I feel like February is always a sleeper month in YGK.

The weather is not good and people aren’t motivated to go out. However we end up with a lot of great events that some may not be aware of.

This month for example we’ve got Feb Fest which is all month long, and the Reelout Queer Film Festival. We’ve also got individual events such as the great magician David Johnson, Gerry Dee and the Not So Newlywed Game.

We’ve got some great events for kids such as Mini Pop Kids and the Frozen Valentines Craft.
