It was only a matter of time before online casinos started giving live casinos a run for their cash. We have been not there yet but I would bet we have been getting very close. Online casinos have increased the types 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 will be 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, to ensure that the customers are now being protected against unauthorized use of cards or from cases of identity theft, which is the main concern of the general public.

Many people 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 within the selection 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 an issue out there will be the convenience of online gambling and how easy it's to sit at your computer and gamble for hours. a decade ago individuals who 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 potential for fraud. Most payments are made by card and irrespective of how secure the server is fraud still happens out there.

These two concerns obviously have not scared the individuals away. You will find record numbers each 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 out there they are going to be dealt with quickly only to make sure people and their cards keep coming back
