It was only a matter of time before online casinos started giving live casinos a run for their cash. We are not there yet but I would bet we are getting very close. Online casinos have increased the kinds of games they provide to match what live casinos can offer. From poker to sports betting, every gambling activity seems to be online.

Most proponents of online gambling claim that online gambling is simply as safe, lottery if not safer, as gambling in known casinos in Las Vegas and Atlantic City. Just like the live casinos, online casinos have to have their licenses and permits before engaging into online gambling.

Online casinos are regulated and audited by professional firms. All online casinos use the secure e-cash facilities, in cooperation with the bank card companies, to ensure that the customers will be protected from unauthorized usage of credit cards or from cases of identity theft, which is the main concern of the public.

A lot of men and women believe that online gambling offers more entertainment for their dollar. Most online casinos offer huge cash bonuses to entice people to sign up and play. These bonuses tend to be within the range of $100 to $300 for a $50 deposit. I have never seen a live casino offer that to a customer and I don’t think I ever will.

I think a concern around is the convenience of online gambling and the way easy it is to sit at your computer and gamble for hours. ten years ago those that wanted to gamble had to hop a flight to either Vegas or Atlantic City, now they do not even have to leave their homes.

One downside with gambling online is if you do win the payouts may take a couple of days. I believe this takes the thrill away of seeing you winnings paid out straight into your hand.

Another downside has to be the prospect of fraud. Most payments are made by credit card and irrespective of how secure the server is fraud still happens out there.

Both of these concerns obviously have not scared the people away. There are record numbers every year spent on gambling online and it has grown every single year since 1995. In a thriving business, such as online casinos, if you’ll find concerns available they will be dealt with quickly only to ensure the people and their credit cards keep coming back
