Are online casinos reliable?

The first online casino was introduced in the middle of the 90s, well before that Internet wins its popularity. Already in that time, players asked question about the reliability of online casinos as far as some of them are implanted outside the United States. Laws of this country pronounced operation of casino as illegal. Then, how to know to whom to rely and which is not reliable? This question always arises every time player connects onto on-line game. For some times, online casinos are subjected to regulations and strict controls to verify the respect of announcement and advertisements made by casinos. The Certificate ECOGRA thus exists for some time. It means that an online casino was inspected by an investigator to make sure that they pay customers, they protect the information in a security way and they do not cheat. It is thus a first indicator to estimate that an online casino is serious.

Today, independent websites give evaluations of various online casinos. It is the phenomenon which increased since some years and which is going to develop more and more. These sites establish their evaluation by participating directly in online games and by basing itself on several criteria as the speed of payment of the gains. This point allows having a rather precise opinion on the reliability of a casino. That's why many online sites put among their selling point the sentence "guaranteed payments". But a casino will never be reliable at 100 %. At first, it is because many are implanted neither in Europe nor in United States. The reliability of the controls is not thus guaranteed or it is simply complicated for legal reasons. The caution thus stays of stake. Generally, a serious online casino is affiliated directly or indirectly to another casino which operates in a "reliable" country.
