How To Become an Online Casino Dealer

When you play a table game, the dealer takes care of so many things that you may not realize how hard their job is or how they got it.

They must know the rules of several table games and how to carry them out, so training is involved. They also have to learn the basics of the production aspect of live-dealer games.

Then there are basic requirements such as people skills, hand-eye coordination, a little math knowledge, and a willingness to work odd hours. You must be at least 18 years old (usually 21), have at least a high school diploma, pass a drug test, and often obtain certification or licensing.

Being a dealer in a gambling site is a specialized craft that requires a commitment of both time and money. And you may not be located near a casino studio. So location is part of considering this line of work. You have the training to go through, even if you know the games from a player’s perspective.

And, like other service jobs, you interact with customers. You can approach it as a temporary job or a first step to a career in the casino business. But know why you are getting into it.

Learning the craft is the first step to becoming an online casino dealer. Ace Academy is a good start, but there are other training centers such as Vegas Aces and The Casino College. And some recruiters will incorporate training into their programs.

Any of these trainers will take you through learning the rules of games, how it works, and practice.

Practicing is a big part of preparation because you want to know what to do in any situation. Since specific equipment is involved (chutes, roulette wheels, table layouts), practicing on your own is complicated beyond the shuffling and handling cards that a casino card dealer does.

Online casinos are not everywhere, particularly in the US. However, the market is growing. Fewer than 10 states host online casinos, and other states have proposed legislation or are considering having internet casinos. The industry is more accepted in Europe, but if you reside in or near a major city, live casino jobs are more accessible.

A good place to look for this job is Playtech or Evolution, a leading B2B destination for online casinos. But you can also find jobs using more common search sites such as Indeed or ZipRecruiter. Keep in mind the training sites above as job source outlets.
