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.

The brand also offers extensive live and in-play betting options, keeping users engaged in real time.

New players are welcomed with a 100% deposit bonus, and frequent bettors can look forward to being handpicked for the Let’sBet VIP Club – a tiered programme offering access to personal account managers, dedicated promotions, express payouts, and exclusive VIP events such as race days and hospitality experiences.

These tools are supported by a customer service team trained to guide users toward healthy betting behaviours.

Marcin Doszczeczko, Director of Sports Betting Operations at Let’sBet, commented: “Choosing NetRefer as our affiliate platform provider was a natural step in building Let’sBet into a standout name in the US sports betting market. Their technology gives us the clarity and scalability we need to launch a high-impact programme from day one. It brings together everything we need to grow a successful affiliate operation – clear reporting through ASR 1.0 API and smart, actionable insights from NetRefer CoPilot AI. Just as we’ve built Let’sBet around trust, service, and user experience, we see those same values reflected in NetRefer’s platform and team. We’re excited to grow this partnership together.”

They’re an operator that blends innovation with a strong sense of player responsibility, they’re exactly the kind of forward-thinking company we’re proud to support. With a growing footprint in the US market, Let’sBet will benefit from our platform’s ability to deliver real-time insights, data clarity, and the flexibility needed to scale sustainably – while also strengthening NetRefer’s presence in this key region.”

Casino Guru is proud to announce that it has won the Safer Gambling Initiative of the Year at the iGB Affiliate Awards 2025, for a third consecutive year.

The distinction further highlights the company’s commitment to building a sustainable future for the gambling industry, not only through its dedication to providing players with the most complete, real-time-updated database of online casinos curated by trained experts, but also through its efforts to influence business standards and responsible practices across the sector.

As a leader in informed play, Casino Guru has dedicated a significant portion of its time and efforts to building a casino database that uses safer gambling as one of its core metrics for assessing a brand’s reliability, sustainability, and treatment of customers.

Casino Guru’s Head of Sustainable and Safer Gambling, Šimon Vincze, was excited to share his appreciation for the award: “As someone closely involved in responsible gambling and safer play at Casino Guru, I can say this award is a true testament to our work. We’ve worked tirelessly to leverage our market position to produce tangible outcomes in terms of awareness and impact of safer gambling practices, player complaints, and the availability of blocking software. We are a trailblazer in safer gambling among affiliates, but collaboration with other like-minded companies has enabled us to stay at the forefront.”

Casino Guru could not be prouder of this moment, which once again reinforces the company’s leadership in helping to set safer gambling standards industry-wide.

Daniela Sliva, Public Relations and Creative Projects Director, commented on the distinction: “Winning the Safer Gambling Initiative of the Year for a third consecutive time was an emotional moment and a well-deserved one. Casino Guru has worked tirelessly to establish itself as a leader in promoting sustainable and responsible play. We truly believe we are setting new standards for responsible gambling, not just within the affiliate space, but across the wider industry. Our company ethos places safer gambling at the heart of everything we do, from our Complaint Resolution Center to the Safety Index, and especially through initiatives like the Casino Guru Awards, which further reinforce this commitment.”

Among the achievements that Casino Guru has to be proud of are the Casino Guru Awards, which have established clear competitive guidelines for safer and responsible gambling and distinguish companies that adhere to the Casino Guru’s ethical guidelines and best practices.
