How to Stay Away From Risks in a New Online Casino
Online gambling is exciting and fun, but it can be a risky activity if you’re not careful. Here are ways to stay safe and avoid risks while playing at a new online casino.
Read Terms and Conditions
No one likes to wade through pages of legal jargon, but we always recommend that players read terms and conditions at a new online casino. This is especially important for bonuses and promotions, wagering requirements, and withdrawal limits.
* Bonuses and promotions come with strings attached. For example, you may have a limited amount of time to claim your bonus, or may only be able to use free spins on a specific game.
* Wagering requirements are the amount of real money you will have to wager to claim winnings generated from bonus funds. Often, these are 30-50x your original stake and in many cases, only certain games count toward wagering requirements.
* Withdrawal limits restrict the amount of money you can withdraw at a given time. Many new casinos have both minimum and maximum withdrawal limit and may have fees attached.
Reading the terms and conditions will help you understand these and other restrictions that a casino may impose.
Fair Play Policies
An online casino must adhere to fair play policies dictated by licensing bodies, and also use Random Number Generators (RNGs) to ensure that games are fair. This information can typically be found in the website’s footer.
Test Customer Support
Before you make a real money deposit, we suggest that you test the availability and responsiveness of the casino’s customer support. The casino should provide several ways to connect like live chat, email, or phone. If you’re unsatisfied with the responsiveness or helpfulness of the customer support team, then move on. There are lots of new Australian casinos vying for your business.
Data Security
In addition to SSL encryption, safe online casinos implement robust security measures, including firewalls, anti-fraud systems, and regular security audits, to safeguard player data and maintain a secure gaming environment. New casinos will be proud of their security measures so you should be able to find all this information in the footer of the website.
