Am I at risk of fraud or identity theft when playing online?
Overall, the answer is certainly yes. The risk is probably lower than in most bricks and mortar casinos. Online casinos utilise elaborate and powerful anti-hacking technologies that include 128-bit encryption such as that employed by the military and multiple high-end firewalls. Nevertheless, online punters should check each online venue for confirmation of their security precautions and confirmatory independent audits. In addition, it must be remembered that passwords are more frequently stolen offline than online and punters should protect them from prying eyes at all times as well as ensuring to log off completely when finished playing.
