In an increasingly expanding market, we provide useful tips on how to play in Italian online casinos in maximum safety
The gambling industry in Italy has literally exploded, thanks to the rise of online casinos. As a result, fans can now play from the comfort of their sofa at home or while on the go. Online casinos have in fact been optimized to be viewed on the latest generation of mobile devices, i.e. smartphones and tablets. Despite this, however, it is important to start playing safely, as there is always the risk of being scammed by self-styled sites that offer attractive offers. For this reason, below we provide useful tips on how to play in Italian online casinos in maximum safety.
Do some thorough research on online casinos
With the expansion of online gambling in Italy, many enthusiasts are attracted by the possibility of cashing in money from this activity and perhaps hitting the best jackpots and in particular the progressive ones, as well as choosing the many titles available. In fact, the latter are offered with different themes (classic with fruit, horror, adventure and historical) and in most cases accompanied by adrenaline-pumping soundtracks and HD graphics both capable of making the user experience even more exciting. However, online casinos do not always carry out their business with the best interests of their customers at heart. In fact, some are led by greedy managers or even engaged in illegal activities such as money laundering. Fortunately, for users, it is possible to avoid them by doing research before registering as a customer. First, they need to check if an online casino is a member of the Italian regulatory body which is identified by the acronym of ADM (formerly AAMS). Specifically, it requires its affiliated casinos to operate only according to industry best practices. Licenses and certificates from the MGA and the UK Gambling Association also provide a good sign of a casino’s credibility and therefore can be described as serious and safe. Having said that, it should be added that as an additional safety net for their customers, reputable online casinos use the latest encryption software called SSL and that serves to protect their personal and transactional data. Reading reliable reviews on an online casino written by other users or by specialized sites is another great way to play in maximum safety and ban fraudulent portals upstream.
Consider the various payment systems
Most of the online casinos operating in Italy offer a series of methods through which it is possible to fund the gaming account and make withdrawals deriving from winnings. However, some of these financial platforms may not have sufficient security to prevent the loss of money, so regardless of whether you use an electronic wallet or the classic credit card, it is always advisable to perform a check to confirm that the money, as well as personal data, are safe and therefore proof against all types of online scammers. Again with reference to the analysis of the payment systems offered by online casinos, it should also be added that in the case of the aforementioned electronic wallets, for greater security it is advisable to separate them from the main bank account, in order to avoid the intrusion of hackers. Still with regard to the security factor, it should also be emphasized that the password of an online casino account should also be kept secret, perhaps creating it complex and including letters of the alphabet, numbers and symbols. Finally, there are some deposit methods that many online casinos operating in Italy allow you to use even if some do not allow you to use them for withdrawals. For this reason, it is advisable to move towards a secure and more flexible platform in this respect.
Set your own gambling limits
While gambling as a pastime can be enjoyable, it can also create financial distress in the event of large losses and even addiction. Indeed, when a player is on a winning streak, the adrenaline rush can be overwhelming. The release of dopamine and other feel-good hormones every time he gets a win, can therefore lead to the aforementioned addiction. In this regard, to take advantage of playing in online casinos, a player should always set limits on their gambling and avoid the above upfront. Specifically, if he has a sum of money to deposit in the casino gaming account, he shouldn’t top it up once he has reached the limit he has set for himself. Experts and in particular those in the gambling addiction sector advise all online casino game enthusiasts to only bet money that they are ready to lose to avoid addiction. Conversely, if they find themselves staking something else that they didn’t expect, then it’s the right time to stop. Some online casinos allow you to set limits on how much money you spend on their site in a day. Others, however, have programs to seek out gambling addicts and help them break out of the vicious circle they have fallen into.
