New here, what do you play and where are you playing from

[brad_runs_the_board]

Figured I'd kick off an intro thread since we've had a bunch of new folks lurking lately.

So, who are you, what do you actually play, and what state are you posting from? That last part matters more than people think. If you're in Jersey, PA, Michigan, places like that, you've got the regulated apps and that's the safe money. If you're somewhere with no legal online casino, the legal route is sweeps coins (gold coins plus sweeps coins, no purchase necessary), but check it's actually available in your state because a couple states pulled the plug on those recently.

Me, I'm mostly a blackjack and low stakes slots guy, regulated app. I run the place so I try to keep it honest, not sell you anything.

Go ahead, introduce yourself. Where you playing from?

Hi! NJ here, weekends mostly once the kids crash. I stick to the regulated apps, deposit with my bank or PayPal and it just works, no drama.

Slots for me, the chill ones, nothing crazy. I'll do live dealer if I'm feeling fancy lol. Honestly the regulated stuff being legal here is the only reason I touch any of it, I don't have the patience for sketchy sites.

Tampa, so no legal online casino at home, womp womp.

I do sweeps coins to scratch the itch. It is NOT the same as real money betting, want to be clear, but it's the legal lane down here and you can redeem for prizes. Just gotta check yours is offered in your state, mine still is for now.

Whatup. I'm the guy who cashes out in crypto and won't shut up about transaction times. Slots and a little video poker.

fwiw the crypto withdrawals are stupid fast when the site actually pays, like under an hour for me usually. The when it actually pays part is the whole ballgame though. Welcome aboard new people.

Older guy, live tables. If it doesn't have a real dealer I lose interest fast.

Been at this longer than some of you have been alive probably. My advice for the newbies, read the footer, see who licenses the place. State regulator good, the offshore stuff you're on your own if it goes sideways, nobody to call. Welcome.
