Social Games That Earn You Money

Love playing slots, but you can't just head to a casino whenever you want? The good news is you don't even have to leave your couch to enjoy an entertaining — and hopefully rewarding — experience playing slots in an online casino. However, the bad news is if you're looking to get rewarded with real money, your options are somewhat limited online.

To ensure you have the most fun and get paid some real cash doing it, you need to figure out your best options — and make sure those options are legal in your area. To get you started, we've put together a quick guide with basic details on some of the best online slots you can play to make some real money.

The legality of online gambling is murky at best, thanks in large part to the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (UIGEA). This federal law makes it illegal for a person or business that is engaged in the business of wagering or betting to accept payments associated with unlawful Internet gambling. Several provisions and rules factor into the law.

Based on that, most legal experts agree that online gambling on websites that are set up outside the country is legal, but gambling on a U.S.-based website is not. Additionally, each state has its own laws that may restrict what you can and can't do — even from home on your computer — in your state. For that reason, it's important to do your research to make sure non-U.S. online slots with real cash won and lost are legal for you to play before checking them out.

El Royale Online Casino

The El Royale Casino accepts U.S. players and allows them to play for real money after they complete the registration process. Players have to be age 21 or older, just as they would have to be in the U.S. In addition to featuring a variety of creative slot games, such as themes with ancient gods and popular characters, the site also offers poker and table games.

To receive your winnings, you choose from four payout options: Visa, Mastercard, bank wire or Bitcoin. Visa and Mastercard payments typically take three to four days, while a bank wire takes five business days. Bitcoin usually only takes one to three business days. All payouts are limited to a minimum of $150 and a maximum of $2,500.

BetOnline Casino

This online casino is headquartered in Panama, where online wagering is allowed, but the site still cautions everyone to abide by their local governments' rules and regulations. You must be at least 18 years old to register and take advantage of the online slots, poker, sports betting and live betting.

This online casino offers multiple banking options for deposits and payouts, noting that Bitcoin is the fastest method with Bitcoin payouts typically credited within minutes. The casino requires a minimum Bitcoin payout of $20 and a maximum of $3,000. Other payout options include wire transfer, cryptocurrency, person-to-person transfers and a few other methods.

Wild Casino

Wild Casino has been dedicated to providing dynamic gaming experiences since 1991. To join and gamble on the site, you have to be at least 18 years old. Once you sign up, you can use one of the multiple deposit options to start playing with real cash. In addition to a live virtual casino, which has all the card and table games you would expect, it offers more than 50 creative slot games with payout options that put real money into your hands.

Choose from the different payout options to find the one that works best for you. Bitcoin and Bitcoin Cash are popular options that generally process quickly. Other possibilities include Ethereum, Ripple, person-to-person transactions and even checks sent to you by courier. If none of those fit your situation, additional options are also available.
