The festive season has set in and it is the time to rejoice and be merry. If you are a regular at casinos, you have all the more reason to celebrate. If you are not, you might get attracted toward this exciting world of gambling.

Being a first-timer, you need to get acquainted with the gambling industry. Before registering, make yourself secure.

Dos And Don’ts Of Online Gambling

  • Check for eCOGRA: Look out for the eCOGRA seal that every authentic online casino will carry. It stands for “eCommerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance.” It is an organization that is similar to an accreditation body that gives approval to casinos that issue prompt customer payouts. It also keeps an eye on the customer privacy policies maintained by casinos.
  • Check for Licensure: The Kahnawake Gaming Commission was set up around 11 years ago. Since then it has been regulating and licensing a host of interactive online games. An online casino site that has acquired a license from the Commission is assured of being a legal and trustworthy gaming portal.
  • Check the Payout Percentage: When considering an online casino for gaming, checkout the payout percentage of the site. The payout percent refers to the percent of wagered money won by players. For example, if a particular site mentioned its payout percent as 95, it means that 95 percent of the total wagered money at the casino was paid back to players as the winning amount.
  • Check Audit Reports: A reliable and authentic gaming site would make sure to update and submit its audit reports on a regular basis. They do not have any issues in laying open their payout reports to players as well. Transparency is respected in such sites and in turn helps them gain respect.
  • Check for the Requested Personal Details: When registering on an online casino site, keep your eyes open for the kind of details being sought. On an average, online gambling portals do not ask you for your credit card details. If you suspect even one percent of insecurity, do not register. After all it is your money that will be at stake. Besides there are a whole range of other sites operating that are safe to register with.
  • Check for Player Feedback: Most sites display a customer feedback section. Make sure to go through it to get an idea of what other visitors and players have experienced on that particular portal. Maybe not to a great extent but you will get an insight into it.
  • Check out the Customer Care: Genuine gambling portals offer a 24×7 customer care support. To be extra sure about a particular portal, write an email or give a call on the mentioned number. If the site is authentic, you will be sure to get a response to your message. Fake sites normally do not respond to mails or phone calls.

Gambling is fun and involves a high percentage of excitement and adventure. Enjoy a safe festive season.
