Securing Your Information and Money While Gambling Online

Online gambling is a buzzing option that keeps growing in popularity and value yearly. However, while it has made gambling easy, it also put you at risk of cybercriminals. The internet is not the safest of places and you need to take precautions to avoid criminals from stealing valuable information and money from you.

Online casinos that accept PayPal in Canada are generally secure as PayPal has a tough security system that keeps hackers out and prevents the stealing of your information. It is one of the most secure deposit methods in Canada for processing online gambling payments.

Is My Money and Information Safe on Online Gambling Sites?

Many people fear that their money is not safe with online gambling sites. Their fears are tangible but not reality. Top online gambling sites realize that they have their reputation at stake and invest lots of money to ensure their site is protected and safe for users.

With how competitive and large the market is, these sites know that they have a lot at stake not to take their site security seriously. A single mistake leading to cybercriminals stealing information and money from players on the site is a disaster so powerful no amount of PR can repair.

Tips for Securing Your Information and Money on Online Gambling Sites

It is not just enough for you to let the gambling sites do all the security work, there are aspects they cannot help you address such as negligence by forgetting to log out on your account on a public computer or allowing others to view your login details.

1. Find Out Who Regulates the Site.

The first place to look for possible security flaws when choosing an online casino is to find out if it is licensed or not. If it is not licensed, there is a high chance that the site may be built to steal your details and money. However, if it is licensed, find out which body regulates its activities.

Ideally, online gambling sites get regulated in places where their activities are legal such as Malta, the Isle of Man, and the Mohawk Territory in Kahnawake, Canada.

Normally, the name of the regulatory body is displayed on their About Page or at the bottom of the site. Any site that fails to spell this out is either operating illegally or a security threat. Either way, you want to avoid unlicensed sites with no regulatory body.

2. Use Only Sites That Have Secure Socket Layer Encryption

Top online gambling sites use a security system called Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption to protect your information and money from online criminals. The SSL certificate is commonly deployed not only by online gambling sites but other websites and platforms to secure users’ information.

The role of the SSL is to create an encrypted link that connects a website and browser. Bans and other financial institutions make use of this same security technology to keep your information protected and money safe. If you can trust your bank with your money, you can also trust online gambling sites that use SSL encryption with your information and money.

How do you know if an online gambling website uses SSL encryption? This is simple. Go to the address bar where you type in the URL once you open the sire, If the address bar shows https://, it has SSL encryption but if it says http://, there is no SSL encryption.

It is advisable not to use sites that do not have SSL encryption as they are more vulnerable to hackers.

3. Check for Seals of Approval

Seals of Approvals are symbols that show that the site has gone through and passed different standard tests and inspections. You can find these seals at the bottom of the site homepage. Some examples of the seals you may see include Verisign and eCOGRA. Also, the regulatory body supervising the online gambling site logo will be on display there.

If these seals of approval are missing, it is a strong warning sign to avoid it.

4. Google The Online Gambling Site

This is probably the quickest way to ascertain if an online gambling site is safe or not. What you want to look out for is news about the site (whether it has been in the news for good or bad). Also, you can look up reviews from authoritative sites like CasinoBernie to find out how others perceive it.

It is a bad idea to just use any review you find on Google to make your judgments. These online gambling sites pay writers to write favorable reviews.

Conclusion

If the online gambling site can tick all four of the above checklists, you have a safe site. Security is one off-gaming aspect that all players should take seriously.

CasinoHawks spreads its wings with bold rebrand for UK market

Affiliate marketing powerhouse unveils new identity and content strategy to strengthen player trust in competitive online casino market

CasinoHawks, the UK-facing affiliate brand of Game Lounge, has unveiled a bold new look and content strategy designed to strengthen its position in one of the world’s most competitive online gambling markets.

Launched in 2012, CasinoHawks has built its reputation as a trusted source of casino knowledge for British gamblers, providing detailed reviews, expert-led insights, and industry news for more than a decade. Its latest refresh represents a significant step forward in creating a more modern, engaging, and unmistakably British identity for the brand.

The new strategy places a sharper focus on delivering value to UK players through locally relevant, expert-driven content. Reviews are now written exclusively by UK-based specialists, ensuring recommendations reflect the needs of domestic audiences.

Alongside this, the site’s visual identity has been refreshed with a new colour palette, updated branding, and a reimagined logo – with the hawk symbolising sharp insight and the checkmark representing trustworthiness and compliance.

Keith Geary, Director of Casino at CasinoHawks, said: “We wanted to distinguish ourselves from international sites by feeling more familiar to UK players. At the same time, this was the perfect opportunity to modernise the brand and create a more engaging and user-friendly experience.”

The rebrand builds on a strong track record of product innovation and marketing milestones. CasinoHawks launched its popular Bonus Wagering Calculator in 2022, debuted a dedicated YouTube channel in 2023, and earned the QMRA Quality and Compliance stamp of approval in 2024.

The new branding is supported by a content strategy designed to elevate CasinoHawks beyond a standard affiliate model. By investing in deeper insights, greater transparency, and a more relatable tone of voice, the brand aims to set a new standard for player-first content in the UK casino affiliate space.

Geary added: “Our goal is simple – to empower UK players with the tools and insights they need to make safe, informed decisions. This rebrand is just the beginning of a wider strategy to build stronger connections with our audience and reinforce CasinoHawks as the go-to destination for casino knowledge.”
