Poker Rooms: How to Avoided Being Cheated

By: Jimmy Nordon

Here are some tips to help you to determine if an online casino is honest or if there is a good chance they are just going to steal your money.

Online Casino Technology:
Even though there are thousands of online casinos there are only a few companies that write the online casino programs. These are the online casinos you want to risk your money, the other online casinos may be legitimate, but all the most reputable online casinos use these programs. You can find out who wrote the online casino software by checking out the website. If it is not mentioned on the homepage you can find it in the about us or the FAQ sections of the online casino site. If it is not mentioned on the site you can always send the casino an email asking them. If they do not reply you should not gamble your money there.

Site Design:
You can tell a lot about an online casino by the design of their online casino or poker room. The more reputable sites will spend lots of money on professional web designers to make the online casino look as good as the inside of a land based casino. As I have said before mot of the actual online or poker software was bought and not written by the online casino but the home page and everything that is not part of the actual casino is done by sites owners, and if they are not willing to spend the money to make everything look nice then it can be a sign that they do not expect to be around for long and maybe you should avoid this online casino and poker room.

Chat Rooms and Forums:
Before playing in any online casino or poker room I recommend that you go to some chat rooms and forums that talk about online casino gambling; look for posts talking about the online casino you are thinking about opening a player account with and see what other players have to say about that casino. Chances are you will find some good posts about any online casino and poker room no matter how dishonest they are just because the people who work for that casino probably spam the forums with good reviews for their casino, but if most of the comments are bad or if you can not find any posts at all about a particular online casino or poker room then I recommend you pick a different online casino and poker room.

Friends, Neighbors and Co Workers:
Talking to people you know is the best way to get information about anything that you can trust. If you ask around the people you know, someone you know is bound to play in online casinos or at least know someone who has. This information can be more trustworthy then anything and useful then any information you will find on the internet.

Collusion and Hacking:
Security is a major issue for online casinos and poker rooms. An online casino can be legitimate but still have shenanigans taking place. The casino can have their network hacked into and thieves can drain your account and sometimes you run into what is called collusion. This is when several friends will log on to the same online casino or poker room and will use other software to talk to each other to cheat the other players out of their money. Online casinos have special security programs that can locate people doing things like this and stop them before they can ruin your online gaming experience. Make sure you check about the online casinos security policies before you start playing there.

It has always been my experience to go with word of mouth. Ask around you probably know people who enjoy online gambling and they will be glade to tell you where they play.
