I've never been into online gaming. It's always super slow to load and not at all engaging. I like the real deal- going to a casino with some friends, getting a few drinks, and having a great time (even when I lose it's still so fun!).

Having said that, all my buddies have been telling me to check out FanDuel Casino. It's an app with a ton of casino games that you can play right from your phone. I decided to download it one evening when I was bored, then got distracted by something else and honestly, I completely forgot about it.

A couple of weeks later, I stumbled upon the FanDuel Casino app while deleting a ton of apps to clear up more space (who needs 3 food delivery apps? I guess me). I downloaded the app from the app store but never registered for an account. My friends have been saying the tabletop games are unlike anything they've played online before.

I was pretty stoked to try it, so I set up an account, and was pretty surprised by a couple of things.

Registering for an account is actually super easy

FanDuel Casino is available in my home state of Pennsylvania (plus Michigan and New Jersey), and initially, I was kind of put off when they asked me to provide my SSN. But don't worry, that's just so all of your information and winnings are 100% safe. That actually made me feel better about playing games online when there's money on the line. You can play online or download the app, and it takes only a couple of minutes to register for an account. All you have to do is give them some other basic info, like your name and email address, and then you're good to go.

The first time you play is totally risk-free

I didn't know this and it was an awesome surprise! Even when I'm gambling in person, I hate that sinking feeling that comes with arriving at a casino only to lose your very first game.

When you're a new user of FanDuel Casino (even if you used their Sportsbook or DFS app in the past) you can play any of the casino games you want, and FanDuel will refund you up to $1000 in site credit for anything you lose. All you have to do is register for an account and make your first real-money deposit and wager. This was great because it allowed me to get a feel for how all the games work without the pressure of losing any money.

More variety of games than I was expecting, and the quality is top-notch

I don't know why, but I was expecting some old-school solitaire vibes, you know the kinda low-quality interface we associate with early 2000s computer games? But FanDuel Casino is really fun and easy to play. Everything runs smoothly, without any glitches or interruptions. Plus, there are so many casino games to choose from- Blackjack, Roulette, you name it. Their Roulette game is also manned by a real person, which is way more engaging. You can always play against other users of the app, which I much prefer. There's no level of healthy competition with an online bot!

FanDuel Casino is the perfect at-home gaming solution. Plus, making a deposit and cashing out your winnings is easy and can be done at any time. All you have to do is link up your bank account or debit card. I don't know why it took me so long to register for an account!
