Choose an online casino in which to play

Take Online security seriously

As the use of the Internet  grows so does the interest from the criminal element which means that would be gamblers are rightly full of suspicion and concern. Online gambling has become a huge business which means that criminal minds are continually thinking up new ways  of defrauding you of sometimes only small amounts but if repeated over several million users adds up to a tidy sum. We focus on gambling but of course the same is true of any online financial activity. A recent YouGov survey in the UK suggested that online fraud was up to £2.65 billion within a 12 month period; reason enough for you to be wary. The Internet provides access to anywhere in the world which means unless you know who is behind the site that you are using you might be dealing with somebody who is outside the reach of the law as we know it; recent estimations are that 5000 of the 7000 online gambling sites could be unauthorised or unlicensed. We all know about e-mails from foreign countries promising great riches but maybe less well known is that reputable online bookmakers such as we recommend will never ask for information or ask you by mail to confirm information that they already have and for that matter this site will never ask you for any confidential information at all. If you use WiFi in public places you should be extra vigilant and never use a site that you do not recognise. There are “evil twin” networks that can have a name very similar to one that you use so be careful. Rest assured however that our recommended casino sites are always improving their security systems with you in mind.
