Q: Is it safer to use a wire transfers instead of credit cards when buying online casinocurrency? - WL

Credit cards are in fact safer.

Facts: When purchasing online most reputable online casino operations will have you fill out account registration forms before you begin. This registration process acts twofold. One is to identify you as a user and the information contained within is used for mailing checks and the like. The other reason is to act as a verifier between the credit card and the person using it. Credit card users are also protected by the Fair Billing Act, which limits the amount a user is responsible for in the unlikely event of fraud. That means that the user is only responsible for $50 should this happen.

Q: Why have I seen so many casinos that all have the same games but different home pages? - CS

They are all the same casino

Facts: Online casino proprietors--including Starnet, Boss Media, Cryptologic, Gambling Software and Microgaming--provide generic online software to entrepreneurs. They account for the majority of the casinos currently online and the chances of running into them is high. Casinos like GalaxiWorld.com are the sole proprietor of their unique java/flash software giving their users an original online casino gaming experience.

Q: Why do I have to fill out authorization forms to receive my winnings? They seemed to take my money without any problems. - AS

These forms prevent any fraudulent activity, protecting the user and the casino.

Facts: The only time companies like G.Cash request an authorization form is when a one-time account limit has been surpassed by the user. These forms help to prevent any fraudulent activity and ensure that the user is the actual owner of the credit card. It is often seen as a hassle by first time online gamblers but it is in their best interests.

Q: What's the big difference between downloading casinos and no-downloading casinos? - HP

Convenience and accessibility

Facts: The only time you can play a bulky downloading casino is on the machine you have the software stored. A no-downloading or Java casino can be accessed anytime from anywhere with an Internet connection. GalaxiWorld.com for example has some of the best java games available and they didn't have to sacrifice the quality of their graphics and sounds to do so.

Q: How do I know my information is safe when I'm gambling online? - GC

Make sure the site is secured.

Facts: I read somewhere recently that a site encrypted with SSL technology has never experienced any fraud or tampering with private information. This is a very bold and powerful statement. So how do you know if the site is SSL secured? Look at the URL, if it begins with the letters HTTPS rather than the conventional HTTP you know the site is secured. Also your browser will often indicate if a site is secure by showing a small closed lock in the bottom right hand corner. Another good indicator is if the website is the owner of any online security certifications such as WebTRUST. Certifications such as this ensure that all e-commerce practices are legitimate and that information exchange is honorable.
