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 have been 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 appears to be online.

Most proponents of online gambling claim that online gambling is simply as safe, 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 credit card companies, in order that the customers are now being protected from unauthorized utilization of cards or from cases of identity theft, which is the main concern of the public.

Many individuals 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 are often in the array of $100 to $300 for a $50 deposit. I have never seen a live casino offer that to a customer and I do not think I ever will.

I think an issue around is the convenience of online gambling and how easy it really is to sit at your computer and gamble for hours. 10 years ago folks 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 in the event you do win the payouts takes a number of days. I believe this takes the thrill away of seeing you winnings paid out straight into your hand.
Another downside must be the prospect of fraud. Most payments are made by credit card and regardless of how secure the server is fraud still happens around.

These two concerns obviously have not scared people away. You will find record numbers every year spent on gambling online and Iteandes said it has increased almost every year since 1995. In a thriving business, such as online casinos, if there are actually concerns out there they're going to be dealt with quickly just to make sure the people and their credit cards keep coming back
