Making Sure New Online Casinos Follow Security and Licensing Rules

Today, people who look to enjoy slots, poker, and blackjack online are bombarded with so many options that it can be an intimidating task to know where to start. Unfortunately, not all online casinos are safe and with a constant increase in cyber threats, it’s vital to pick a site that will protect your personal and financial data.

So, in finding a secure online casino to play in India, how do you know what to look for?

Encryption

When you are looking for something new in the world of online casinos, you want to pick one that suits you. So, it makes sense to check out the offers and bonuses that firms have and find something you like. When doing this, it’s important to use a site that you have heard of and that has good reviews. This site also discusses safe payment options for those wanting to consider the most secure way to deposit funds.

However, even if it is the most popular clubhouse in India, it still doesn’t mean it’s necessarily safe for you to use. Therefore, you need to ensure that the website is using encryption technology to protect any data that is being transferred between servers. Encryption is basically when data is coded so that cyber thieves can’t steal it. As online casinos deal with money through deposits and withdrawals, encryption of the information is vital to protect players.

After researching and discovering new policies, you will find the majority of casino sites have the same encryption laws in place as banks and government official sites. But to check if a new-found online game house is encrypted, you should be able to find a ‘security’ link somewhere on the website. This can either be retrieved in the ‘about us’ or FAQ section. Alternatively, you can always look for the image of a padlock on the internet site which will indicate the page is secure and that all data used on the site is encrypted.

Finally, you can also look at the site’s search bar. We are all used to seeing the ‘HTTP’ sign. However, any site that uses financial information of any kind should have an extra ‘S’ on it. Making the letters read ‘HTTPS’ instead. The ‘S’ stands for ‘safe’ and so is a great indicator that the new online casino is secure.

Regulation and licence

Just like when using any reputable company, to stay safe, it’s important to find a casino that uses the right licensing and regulation. Different countries have different jurisdictions that regulate online casinos and so it’s important to find one that is regulated by either one of the following countries: Alderney, Antigua, and Barbuda, Curacao/Netherlands Antilles, Gibraltar, Isle of Man, Kahnawake, Malta, or the United Kingdom.

Again, this information can be found on the webpage of the new casino you are interested in. On the bottom of the main page, it should say where the jurisdiction is coming from that regulates that specific casino.

However, once more, this doesn’t always it is legitimate as a firm can illegally mimic a regulation logo. So, if you search the authoritative country it says is regulating the casino (for example, UK Licensing Authority), you should be able to find your gaming club through the regulation site.

Keeping your money safe when using online casinos in India is vitally important. By checking to see if the new website you like is both encrypted and holds a regulated license, you will know your money is protected from cyberthieves.
