Find a gaming site that is reputable and trustworthy? 
 

Online gaming is a multimillion dollar industry and there are thousands of casinos across the web all vying for your attention. Due to the immense popularity of these games there are also sites that are less than savoury and that you need to avoid.

The big question is; how do you determine whether a site is reputable and trustworthy?

How do you know your data and transaction information will be kept private and how can you ensure that your payouts are received promptly after you have concluded you game?

This guide has been written to help you choose a site that offers the best games in a safe and secure environment.

Online security
If you are serious about gaming for real money then its best to invest some time in checking to see if the site you are visiting is secure. The best way to do this is to check whether the URL is http:// or https://, as an https:// site is a site that is encrypted by an SSL certificate. Another indication of whether a site is secure is an unbroken padlock that is displayed in the corner of the browser window. If that's not enough for you don't worry, there is professional-quality protective software available for free what ever your combination of device and operating system is.

Reputable payment methods
Essentially, when gaming online you always need to ensure that you are conducting transactions through a trusted and reliable payment service provider. The best online gambling site will only direct you to use services such as MasterCard, Visa, Neteller, Bank Transfer or PayNearMe facilities that are internationally recognised.

Licensed and regulated
A lot of online casinos are licensed and registered entities and have received a seal of approval from a governing or regulatory board. Do some homework as to the different bodies that govern these sites and enjoy stress free gaming at a site that guarantees fair play and fast payouts. If in doubt look for sites that are regulated by a US state like the New Jersey Casino Control Commission or the UK's Gambling Commission.

Selection of games
Most online casinos offer a choice between browser based and downloadable gaming. Both options allow players to access hundreds of games at any time and reputable gaming software is always a good thing to look for. Names like Gamesys and offer world class gaming and top quality software. Avoid downloading games from suspect sites as you may pick up a virus accidentally. Games will also offer you a free play version so you can try them out before parting with your hard earned cash. Also it suits many people to pick and mix just for a bit of fun and then others are going to want to get a good handle on the gaming odds and strategies needed to tighten that casino advantage. That would be our choice but fun should be your main aim.

Use these tips to find the best possible online casino and enjoy great winning opportunities and top quality gaming 24/7.

Of course here at The Good Gambling Guide we promote sensible, safe and secure gambling at all times. Knowing your limits and sticking to them is important and every site we mention will have details on their pages of help in your location should you need guidance or help. Should you be playing across borders, which is perfectly okay, a little search on the internet will give local contacts if you feel you need them.
