Secure Online Gambling

In the beginning there was just gambling,
in the casinos I mean, as if that was not bad enough,
speaking from the point of view of a conservative
gambler and of course the point of view of the kin of
the compulsive gambler, to make bad matters worse the
age of the Internet dawned bringing with it millions of
gambling sites offering a whole myriad of games for one
to gamble away their hard earned cash. Some made great
profits too, I agree, but in the long run the Internet
with its gambling sites brought with it a host of new
ways to cheat and get cheated and also more worries for
the well-known ‘gamblers anonymous’.
Things to know:
As I mentioned, there are many ways a casino can fix the
games. Now, I’m not saying that all the casino managers
sit up nights fooling around with the computer programs
just to rip you off, no sir I’m not, just some of them
do. So you should look for, among other things, the
licensing and security certification of the casino site
you are willing to wager your hard earned cash on.
Remember you never can tell if you are playing with a
real person or with a robot. If the casino is not clear
on this point, clear off. Your research should be
through. Check out the various message boards to check
if the casino has been withholding their player’s
bonuses and payments. Check to see if the casino is
licensed by a government agency and how long have they
been on the net. Avoid big bets with the newbies. And
most of all, be careful with your credit card. Most
sites will display a seal of approval or a gold star
status. Don’t fall for it. Go to the message boards and
trust only the sites that have an active online forum
where you can chat with other players and share their
experiences.
Free games, certifications and payments:
Always check out the free games. You will discover a few
glitches and how to deal with them. The best casinos are
serious about their business and offer 24 hour online
customer support, try them out, the support I mean. If
you do have a problem online you’re sure as hell going
to want them online. Be careful of ‘form’ email replies,
don’t trust such sites. If they don’t have the time to
reply to your mail, they are not worth your time. Always
be aware of the payout options. A good casino always
respects its customers and will never place a charge on
any withdrawal. Basically they are asking you to pay
them to give you your money, isn’t the IRS enough? Bleep
over such a site. The best payment options are Neteller
and UPS Express.
In conclusion, remember whatever you do, enjoy your
self. When you gamble over the net you’re the boss. Play
some good music, pour yourself a drink and light up a
good cigar. You’re the floor manager in your house so
pamper your self and have a good time rest assured you
are on a secure
site.
