How to Determine the Legitimacy of Online Casinos

By Harry Whitmore


Not all online casinos are legitimate. There are those that only scam the gamers. There are various ways which can aid you in determining whether an online casino is legitimate or will only steal money from you.

First, you have to notice the casino technology that the site makes use of. A particular online casino uses a writing program. The name of the program developer can be found on the homepage, about us page or FAQ page. If you cannot find the information in any of these pages, you may always use the chat support in asking about the software they are using as well as the developer of such. If you do not receive a reply in less than 48 hours, the chances are this website is a scam. Remember that a reputable online casino is backed by an equally reputable software developer.

Be observant as well while you are on the page. You will immediately notice the overall design of the website. There are amateurish and professionally designed online casinos and you may immediately determine the difference between the two. You have to be skeptical of the intentions of the online casino operator. Such intentions may reflect on the professionalism of the site. The rule is simple: do not spend money on an online casino that cannot even invest on making its own site a professionally looking one.

Consider the benefits of various social networks. You will find many discussions on forums and message boards about which among the current online casinos are indeed legitimate. Put the name of the online casino at the search box to know if there is already a discussion or two about a particular site. As a member, you may also post question asking if other members have an experience in playing in a specific online casino site that interests you especially if there are no discussions about it yet.

You may always Google it. This can be carried out by typing a particular online casino name in the search box. Add the word 'review' for a more definite search. There are websites that focus on reviewing online casinos. You will surely find a review about the online casino especially if it is already an established one. On the contrary, it would be very difficult to find a review online if the online casino is new.

Fifth, you have to consider the principle of averages. If you are playing in an online casino and notice that you are losing more than winning, more likely, the online casino may be rigged. While winning big sums of money is not likely all the time, you should be winning a small amount of dollars back at the very least. Do not jump into any conclusions though. What you should do is to list all the bets that you are making in a day and do this for at least a week if you play online casino every day. If you lose more often than win, consider registering to other online casinos.

You must not abruptly register in an online casino especially if you are not sure if the online casino is legitimate. Exhaust all possible way to determine if the online casino is legal otherwise you will end up losing a lot of money.
