Downloadable casinos – while generally dated and rarely used in today’s world – often provide a speedier access to games, due to the fact that the graphics and sounds programs are cached by the software (or in other words, ‘remembered’), this means that each time the game loads, the computer device simply brings up the cached memory, rather than loading it from scratch. While download-based online casinos stem largely from the industry’s early days, they can still be found at certain online casinos – although the preferable method of play is the web-based option, detailed below.
The ‘original’ online casino technology, downloadable casinos allow players to download software to their computer or laptop, which they can then open as they would any other program. The casino software automatically connects to the casino’s service provider, and allows the player to enjoy all the games on offer without the need to open Internet windows or log onto an online website.

Player chooses game(s) he/she wishes to play, and decides how much to wager on each game

If the player loses their funds, the casino retains them – if a player wins, and ends up in profit, they can withdraw their funds back into the back account (or other payment processor)

Head online today, and you’ll find a multitude of different casino sites to play at. But before players can begin gaming, they first must decide how they wish to play – or in other words – what type of online casino to play at. Below are the different types of online casinos:
With thousands of online casinos currently in operation, there’s – naturally – a large number of casino games available to play, and this far-exceeds the classic table games one might expect to find in a land-based casino. For details on specific games offered, see our guide to Casino Games.

More commonly known as ‘Instant Play’ or ‘No Download’ casinos, web-based casinos are generally seen as the industry ‘norm’ nowadays, and they allow players to play casino games from within their Internet browser. This eradicates the need to download any software, although it does hamper the gaming experience somewhat, due to the graphics, audio clips, and animations being loaded through the web, rather than on the player’s computer itself. Web-based casino games are usually delivered using Flash, Java, or HTML (HTML5) technology directly through the web interface, and this is the preferred choice today, due to ease-of-use, and the ability to begin playing without downloading software.
Player creates his/her casino account, and deposits funds (money) into account
Online Casinos – often referred to as ‘Virtual Casinos’ – are a type of website where players from around the world can wager money on casino games, and these websites allow anyone (provided they’re permitted under law) to enjoy gambling without the need to venture to land-based casinos, bookmakers, or other ‘brick and mortar’ gambling establishments.
The late 1990’s saw the popularity of Internet gambling vastly increase, and with the advancements in technology, the online gambling industry (including casino, sports-betting, bingo, and Poker) grew at a rapid rate with the industry worth a reported £200 billion today. While online casinos have often attracted criticism, both from responsible gambling advocates, and tax-authorities around the world, casinos today are generally well-regulated to ensure game-fairness, and implement player-protection measures.

While every casino (and licensing jurisdiction) has their own rules and measures in place, the majority of online casinos use the following principle in delivering their services to players:
Generally, casinos choose not to self-host casino games, but, instead, to ‘rent’ them from software providers (companies who develop the games), and so, when playing at an online casino, most of the time you will actually be connecting to the game’s developer’s server, rather than the casino’s. Not only does this make loading times quicker and cut costs for the casinos, but it acts as a measure of protection for players, as the casinos themselves have no influence on the game or its outcome.
