Why Fortune Palace?
Your guide to playing and winning at online casinos
Learn, Practice, Play

Learn the rules, betting options and the odds against winning. Every game has its own subtleties and it's important that you understand the specifics of each game (and game variant) before you think about playing with real money. Recognising the good and bad bets is the quickest way to devise (or understand) a winning strategy that suits your risk profile.

We encourage players to try out games and strategies on our instant, no download, no deposit games. You'll get enough free credits to play for hours, until you're 100% confident.
play for real. Signing up at an online casino should be an exciting time. Online gambling is all about taking risks, but you don't want to take uneccessary chances by playing at a casino that will cheat you out of your winnings, or not allow you to win at all! We reduce the risks by ensuring that all of our recommended casinos are secure, licensed and verified.
