For me it was Ladbrokes Casino, i used credit cards to deposit, and deposited lots of money via that method, on the occassions i did win i loved it because the withdrawals dissappear from you account INSTANTLY and you never get the option to reverse your winnings. The money processed back to my cards in 2/3 days.

I mainly played slots, although did dabble a little with roulette, in those days my head didn't really want to win, that wasn't why i played, things are somewhat better these days i have to say.

Oh yes i do play there when i can, but don't as much as i want to, although thats not by my choosing

Don't recall the very first expereience.... like a lot of us, I was playing all the no deposits and losing them fairly quickly, but after several tries the $15 Colloseum Casino gave us paid off with a couple big Halloweenies bonus rounds....those bonus bunnies must have retriggered about 10 times. Wasn't smart enough to cash out soon after getting through the playthrough, but had fun playing for a couple days before losing it all. Since then I have gotten better at finding the cashout button!

well my first online casino was ladbrokes...i never used to bother with online casinos much till few years back but i used ladbrokes for sports betting then one day i decided to transfer £100 from sports to casino to get the match bonus...good thing about ladbrokes bonuses is the playthrough is only ever 4x at most and think i cashed out £500 and guess was hooked thereafter lol and i always deposit by debit card or with cash in shops and withdrawals are always in bank within 24-48 hrs or you can cash out immediantely in their shops...service is great and still play nearly every day lol... first game i remember playing regularly was halloweenies and used to do really well on it so dont know why i rarely play it now..guess its those damn dolphins in dolphin tale lol as i keep playing that most now....anyway not got a bad thing to say about ladbrokes and if there are ever any problems they respond to emails quick or even better you can phone them 24/7 and get problems solved right away

LOL mine was also Ladbrokes but only because I was doing alot on Ebay at the time and was depositing using Paypal,
I think my first deposit was for £100 and I won £1,500 but at the time of the withdrawal Paypal decided we had issues over something stupid and blocked it from going back into my account, so I played it away.
I was gutted to say the least but these things happen lol

Deposited loads and loads at Ladbrokes over the 16 months I have been gambling online (yes only 16 months.) not as long as some. heehee

Thats my first Casino Experience anyway

Very Happy

My first casino online that I played at was Prestige Casino . I did not make a deposit because I used a free chip and they sent me the money by us mail got the money in 3 weeks to get the money . Then the next casino was Grand Bay casino . I made a $20. neteller payment then went and played secret admire and hit the bonus round and won . I went and cashed out and received my money I won of $2,550.00 in 5 days I think it was . Yes I played there and deposited many times till they banded the 11 states . I miss playing there so much . As soon as they let my state play there a gain that is where I am going to first . I would never hesitate to make a deposit there again . They use to give me many bonuses . I miss that too . I also won at there Grand Bay multi player poker casino $100.00 and received that money quickly too . They also have the best live help . Always willing to help . Thank you Casino Grand Bay

I think the first casino I made a deposit at was Prism Casino for $10 using NETeller. They had been very generous with lots of no-deposit bonuses and had RTG games which I liked. I probably played Cleopatra's Gold the most. While I didn't win enough to bother cashing out, I did play for a couple of days on that $10. I have played there since and have cashed out to my NETeller account a couple of times with no problems.

I started playing online casinos in 2000, so I don't remember the very first one I played but I do remember my first big win. It was during the first few months I began playing. I was getting every free sign-on bonus I could (money was tight back then). Rio Casino gave me a ND
$ 30. and I ran it up to $ 1500, then back down to $ 1100 before I cashed out and got a check about 2 weeks later.
I remember thinking, "Wow, this is an easy way to make money" ! Little did I know it was Beginners luck.
Alas, even with depositing thru the years, that is still the single largest cash-out I've done....that elusive cash-out button seems to be harder to find as the years go on. Laughing

Thanks for the contest and another trip down memory lane.

My first ever casino experience online, was way back in the Dinasaur days! It must have been late '90's, early 20's It was with Royal Plaza casino. I remember the only way I could deposit was to "snail mail" them a money order! I believe I mailed them something like $50-$100 bucks. Seems like it took several LONG days(maybe a week or so). It finally went into my account, I played and won $450! I cashed out, had to go to Kinko's several times and fax a bunch of stuff to them, but they finally sent a check!(took a couple weeks), but it was great! Now it's all pretty quick. I see people now, complaining about waiting 2 days for a cashout-and LMAO! If they only knew what it was like "back in the day" LOL!!(of course I still go to land based casinos occasionally, and NO online can beat the instant cash in hand gratification from those).

My first depositing casino was bingo Cafe and I ended up withdrawing 125.00 which then made me hooked.I had deposited 25.00 and then I recieved my withdraw thru netteller and put 100.00 in bank 25.00 back in which I hit a 500.00 blackout and taking 48 hrs only to get in netteller.Now I cant play there or the following Jet so thats a bummer.

I think it was Golden Palace back in the day or maybe it was Prestige. Not sure. Don't remember much till the big win. I was taking a flight (thank God or I might never have cashed out) and it was Microgaming and you know how they hit when they hit. I racked it up to $2700 before I was FORCED to cash in and then when I got back from my vacation I carpeted the whole house with that money. That was the good time. Don't get me wrong, there were many bad as I am sure we have all experienced.

My first on line gambling expeirence was at BigTimeBingo a few years ago. Back then I could deposit with Neteller. I used to win alot of progressive jackpots on thier bingo games.. In two months time I had won over $5000. The site pays out within 48 hours and I never had a problem with them. I haven't played there in quite a while because of depositing issues Sad
