With the spread and reach of the Internet, it was only natural that over a period of time, online casinos and gambling should blossom. That blossoming has not yet ended. Earlier the casinos and gambling places were restricted to the people who reached there, and closed at a particular time. With the internet, the players are all over the sites, and joining you may be your next neighbor or millions of people residing elsewhere. You may get tired, or lose money, or gain money, and quit.

However the online games continue, because as part of the world goes to sleep, the other is awake. Those to whom gambling and playing in casinos can play on and on literally without regard for day or night, week or month, month or year! They can play while they are taking breakfast, lunch, dinner or a cocktail or a soft drink!

But to do that you have to check that you are going to the right website, and not a clone, or an outright fraud.  Follow a few rules, and go ahead. What will stop you is you don’t have any more money to play, or wiser still, you know when to stop, or your family forces you to stop!

Here are some of the rules that should make you less prone to duplicity. These are only guidelines, and if we have mentioned sometimes, it does not and should not be taken as an endorsement from our part.

1.      If you are a gambler or a casino player, you would obviously know the name of that particular establishment. If you are new, you better check out a few facts.

2.      The site should have encrypted method of receiving and sending out information. VeriSign or some other software vendor, who can guarantee only to an extent, can be checked by clicking on the sign which is shown in the lower right of your PC or laptop. Click on that and find out whether it is the same site or not. Also whether it is still in force, etc.

3.      Peruse the website, check its license, email ids etc., and what their own controller of systems tells about security of the site and follow it meticulously. Also they would normally tell you the various scams that have come to their notice regarding their website.

4.      Their registration number should be checked with the authority that controls these sites and contents, and regulations concerning it.

Try out these sites. Remember, we do not endorse any or offer our comments. We have heard about their veracity, but we do not and cannot guarantee. You use them at your own risk and peril.

One of the best features for gamblers and occasionally who play games or gamble is the Internet now.

And it’s in your home. All you have to do is have a PC or laptop, an internet connection, and that’s it. You don’t need to drive down somewhere. Sit in front of your computer, and while working, also you can play. And best is you are not stuck to one game. Instead of being stuck in own game, you can now play different games at the same time No distractions, except your work, and of course for some, wives and children! TV has become, since the internet casinos and gambling, secondary choice for those who want to play adult games such as gambling and in casinos. Of course money is constraint, but compared to traveling to a gambling place or a casino is now replaced by a switch that boots up your computer and you are online playing. This is the best thing for an insomniac.

You can have your own coffee/drink as you play all at home. You are in your own world that you wanted, for as long as you can, and lose the money you have, or win for yourself. You can breakfast, eat lunch, dinner playing. The only money you have spent is for the internet, the telephone calls, and of course your other cash.

Well, if your family also wants to have fun playing there’s software that can be downloaded on to your computer and these games can be played without money. But parents should not do it, please.

Everything good has also negative features so too in the online casino/gambling. Cons there are. You might in a rush of adrenaline pour more and more without realizing what you are doing. You have to balance your wallet against the PC casino. Second, you must be totally sure of which site you are going into. Is it a good one, or is it a con game (you should know, you are a gambler) what a con game is. More importantly lock your access to the website, in case your children notice the website and try their hand at playing it. Most parents, including this author, did not know that my children my credit card number, the amount that is available, and also the CVV number which authenticates your payment. You MUST verify the site by using every trick you know (after all you play them isn’t it in your game?).

Remember that on online plays, the internet, but inter – net, that is connection from computer to computer to computer till it reaches the website and vice versa. Anything can happen in between. If there is an experienced hacker, drawn by the lure of money changing hands, either through PayPal or credit card, all the odds of losing your credit card, winnings, etc., can be taken away by that hacker. Even the website can be a fraud! No? Believe it. It is there.

That’s very important that you don’t go to a site, which captures all your credit card data and by the time you realize it, someone else has hijacked all your credit and put you in hock, and you have to pay for it. So beware.
