Online Casino Myths
If
you are familiar with online casinos then you may have some
preconceived notions about online gambling. Some of those ideas
may just be myths. Let’s look at the most popular online
casino myths.
Online Gambling is Addictive
Many people who oppose online gambling say that online gambling
is addictive. The facts don’t back up this statement though
as many studies have shown that online gambling is not that
addictive. In fact, a recent study by Harvard showed that only
about 1% of the people in the United States are considered addictive
gamblers.
Online Gambling has No Interaction
Another myth about online casino gambling is that there is no
human interaction. With today’s technology there is a
lot of interaction with live dealers, chat boxes, etc.
Online Casinos are Rigged
It seems everyone thinks online casinos are rigged. The reality
is that online casinos are licensed and regulated. They are
usually fairer than a land-based casino because the house edge
is lower at online casinos.
Online Gambling is Illegal
This is another misconception that the media continues to print.
Online gambling in most countries is legal including in the
United States. The U.S. government made it difficult for people
to send money with the UIGEA but online gambling is still legal.
And now the individual states are getting into the game with
states like New Jersey, Nevada and Delaware offering online
gambling to their residents.
