Fun Money vs. Real Money

When you have registered your casino account, you can choose to play with Fun money (sometimes called Play money) or real money. To play with Fun money you only have to register and you’re ready to jump straight into the action. You start with a pre determined amount of Fun money, but if you were to lose it, you can always ask for more.

To be able to play for real money you have to make a deposit. A deposit is usually very easy to do and generally very fast. The only alternative that can take a bit of time is a bank transfer, which can take between two days and up to a week, depending on what bank you have and what online casino you are dealing with.

The difference between real and Fun money is the fact that Fun money is only for Fun and it usually has an effect on the game, especially if you play poker against other players with Fun money. At these tables players don’t really care and play most of their hands. This can cause a lot of irritation, when some players tend to go all-in all the time. If you, however, want to play serious poker, you will have to make a deposit and play for real money.
