Furthermore, there are various measures and precautions we can take to help ourselves stay protected and safe when using online casinos.

Ensure the site is regulated

On way to avoid being involved in a casino scam is to ensure you are playing on a safe and secure casino site. You can do this by reading the ‘small print’ of a site to ensure that it informs players of where and who it is regulated by and what measures it takes to protect players’ details and identification.

Some of the most reputable online casino regulators include eCOGRA, Technical Systems Testing (TSTP and PWS.

A trusted, reputable and secure site will go out of its way to ensure visitors to its site can easily read that it is safe and reputable by providing information related to licensing and regulation.

A secure site will also provide information about how you can get in touch with them if a problem does arise. Look for sites that offer telephone numbers, live chat and email customer service communication.

There are also approved lists that are readily available to view online as well as blacklists that list any sites that are known for malpractice. Such lists are typically available on casino forums.

You could even look at Players Reports, designed to assist players in retrieving winnings they were entitled to but presumed were lost. Such reports show how such issues have been resolved and complaints related on online casinos have been dealt with.
