The answer to the original question is: Playing online is safe if you play at a safe and reliable online casino. So how do you identify a secure online casino? It can be tricky for a novice casino player, and the truth is that even some online casinos have crashed and gone bankrupt and players have had to wait their own money for a very long time or run out of winnings altogether. There are sites like GamblerForever.com for this. This site tells you which online casinos are safe, as we have been in the industry for several years, right from the early days of online casinos. All online casinos recommended on our site are 100% safe and reliable.

So what is a reliable online casino like?

The trusted online casino has a Gaming License in Malta, Europe. This means that the online casino is regulated and monitored by a European authority and the winnings have been pre-paid to Europe, so all winnings are guaranteed without any tax consequences. It is not always enough for an online casino to have a Gaming License in Malta, as an online casino may barely meet the licensing requirements or may be close to losing its license. It is also paramount that there is a lot of money behind an online casino. Especially in these times when new online casinos are pushing like mushrooms in the rain.

Our requirement for a good and reliable online casino is that the online casino is managed by an operator who has been in the industry for a long time. The online casino has a Gaming License in Malta and money transfers work quickly in both directions for both deposits and withdrawals. In addition, the online casino bonus terms and conditions must be clear and understandable to the player.
