Gambling guide websites also known as casino portal websites are much more important to those who play online casino games for real money than those who play for fun because they usually are the best place to find online casinos with fair-odds games that actually pay their players when they try to cash out. Gambling guide websites are also a good place to visit for those who seek free casino games to download because most of the casinos on line offer a free version of their casino to play but some of them can be quite persistent, some will not allow their casino to be uninstalled from your PC and some of the really bad places can even infect your PC with a virus or some other unpleasant and unwanted script or file though that is the worst case scenario and rarely will a surfer encounter anything so intrusive. Most casinos if they are any trouble at all will be if the free game player tries to uninstall the casino in which case they will find it a much tougher endeavor than they imagined. The number of casinos that will give the player trouble greatly increases however if they play for real money though the problem will not be with uninstalling the casino but rather with trying to get paid if you withdraw anything.

Gambling guide and casino portal websites come in many different varieties and focuses as some will place their entire approach on games such as slot machines as can be seen in the picture of onestopslots.com which as the name suggests is more devoted to slot machine games and the casinos that offer them.

These can even get more detailed and some may only offer information about video slot games or perhaps progressive slot machine games. Some gambling guides may offer tips about how to get special bonus offers, strategies for both the games or for the betting scheme that best fits a certain game or any number of other areas that are a part of online gambling or online casino games.

I have two websites devoted to slot tips but that happened as an effort to protect my brand name as you can perhaps see one is named slottipper.com and the other slotstipper.com. After starting one I realized that it could easily be spelled wrong or understood wrong if someone spoke about it so I bought both domains and tried to give them a different look and a bit of a different means of delivering the tips I have to offer for gambling slot machine games on line. 

Other areas of targeted interest might include the size of a player the surfer would call themselves. Some people seek out free casino promotions and spend their time chasing some really small margins of winnings and some are the high roller crowd who want quality over quantity of promotions or other such gimmicks and we have casino portals who are aimed at those different varieties of surfers. A good example would be my high roller gambling guide website which is called "GamblingWhales.com" (seen at left).

I also have a gambling guide website which is devoted to informing the reader about what to avoid and how to spot a cheating casino as well as what to expect from an unscrupulous gaming site if you do fall victim to playing at their casino and happen to win. This site explains the most common ways that cheating online casinos will avoid paying on legitimate withdrawal requests. Readers might find it surprising as much as enlightening and may recognize a tactic they have already experienced. Teaching about the cheating methods may prevent those who take the time to learn, from falling victim to a cause they were forewarned about because those that learn their history are not doomed to repeat it and that is true of someone else's history as much as your own. Read about what others have endured to protect yourself from the same fate.
