Is it safe to play online?
Even though online gaming has been around for over a decade, there
are still many players new to idea of giving out their personal
information online to an offshore company, let alone their money.
Rest assured, even though online gaming isn’t yet regulated
in the USA, most would say they feel very comfortable giving a sports
book, casino, or poker room their sensitive information.
Most establishments use encrypted software and guard their player’s
personal information like Fort Knox. When depositing into an online
casino, there are 3rd party companies that you will actually go
to when you’re ready to deposit and they will handle the processing
of your deposit and help you transfer it into the gaming site so
you’ll feel better knowing the site doesn’t have your
banking information.
To ensure you are who you say you are, you may be required to verify
your personal information, possibly taken from your credit report
or another source and to release your account number to you and/or
reset your password within the software and they’re very serious
about verifying this information.
Back in the day, many worried that precautions weren’t being
taken with this information but as the message boards grew and players
started talking, they slowly weeded out the bad eggs and the non-trusted
sites. The players that had problems would post about it and players
would know not to play there. Most reliable casinos will carry the
eCogra seal ensuring you safe and fair play, or even backed by the
Kahnawake gaming commission which is empowered to regulate and control
gaming and gaming related activities conducted within and from the
Mohawk Territory of Kahnawake in accordance with the highest principles
of honesty and integrity. For the most part, at the turn of the
Century, the good casinos are standing, and by reading articles
and message boards, you’ll know which ones to trust.
