Before you start clicking to make ‘em dough, lets take a look at somethings that you need to consider before registering for membership on a particular site. Don’t only look at their bonouses or payout methods and schedules or if they have progressive jackpots but also pay attention to registering on secure websites while playing blackjack, slots or betting. Read reviews and by that I mean many not just a couple. Check to see if the website is linked to softwares that are third-party or are established software providers like Playtech, Microgaming or Cryptologic who update their systems regularly so that you get newer games, better visuals, latest bonuses and higher security.

The next most important thing is to see if the site has the eCOGRA (e-Commerce Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance) logo on it. A non-profit organization which takes care of security and fair practices as far as gaming is concerned. Having said that, the point to be noted is that it is not compulsory for all sites to have eCOGRA logo’s. It is preferred if they do because it means that these sites were scrutinized under a different set of rules for security in terms of finances, how information was going to be restored, how is the business going to function daily, checking to see if promises made including promotions or advertisements are met and checking on issues that have to be resolved so that the resolution proves to be fair.

While on a particular website be sure to track the URL’s instead of crazily clicking away on pop-up icons and getting lost on other pages you have no clue about. This is dangerous as you might be allowing other sites to get hold of your information. The intention here is not to scare but creating awareness. If you exercises caution and enter secure sites, gambling is a great way to have some fun, win money, network and belong to a community. The trick is to set goals for winning and loosing and not over do it so that you do not leave with a heavy sense of loss but a feeling of emerging as a winner. You know how where you stand financially. It is a good idea to set aside half of what ever you win as your savings and use the remaining half to continue playing when ever you win cash. Be firm in your resolution that when you reach your goals of winning or loosing that you will give up and be satisfied with what you got for the day.
