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.
The 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.
