Online Gambling 101: Create a Casino Folder

When you sign up for and play at any virtual casino, your financial and personal data is required for signup. As a result it’s exceedingly important that you take the appropriate precautions in order to ensure that your information remains safe at all times.Not only is this important for your own personal protection, but when you sign up and accept the Terms & Conditions of playing at the virtual casino, they require you to acknowledge that you will ensure that at no time, will another individual gamble or play at their casino using your personal, individual account. To ensure that your account information remains yours and yours alone, create a special folder on your computer that only you have access to and keep all of your casino related information, including software downloads there.

While it may seem a bit paranoid or untrusting to keep your casino information hidden, especially if the only place you hit the online gambling websites is from home; taking the added precaution ensures that you are always better safe than sorry. While a family member or friend may not access your personal and casino based information to be malicious, you never know where their intentions lie, and you have to remember the commitment you made to the casino when you signed up. By acknowledging on the Terms & Conditions that you would not allow any other user to access your virtual casino account, there are legal implications should they discover that someone else was gambling using your login. It’s also illegal for anyone to use your account and put your money on the line; and by ensuring your information is protected with roadblocks that stop anyone else from accessing your information and account, you ensure that can of worms is never opened.

What can you do to ensure that no one else has access to the personal and financial information that you have provided to the casino, and make sure that no one else gains access to your account? Create a special folder on a safe place on your computer, not on your computer’s Desktop, where you will store all of your online casino downloads and related information. In order to ensure that no one has access to it at anytime, follow the instructions to password protect a Microsoft Window’s folder, or Macintosh folder in order to ensure that only you have access. Anytime you go to download virtual casino software, use the Browse option to ensure that the casino software is downloaded to your casino folder instead of the default download location.

If you sign up to play at multiple virtual casinos, you may also need to maintain a list of login information, password and other relevant details; particularly since it’s not recommended that you use the same password for all of the casino accounts you sign up for. While keeping a list will help you remember, it’s important that the document is stored in your password protected casino folder where no one else can be granted access to the information that would allow them to use your casino accounts. As an added precaution, you can also password protect the document itself.

Keeping all of your casino related information and casino software downloads in one location will help ensure that your online casino gaming experiences will remain a positive experience through safety and security. While going to such lengths to keep your casino information safe, may seem extreme, it’s better than dealing with any legal or financial implications should someone else gain access to your account and gamble using your casino login information. Protect yourself, and enjoy your time at your favorite Slots or Card Tables without worry!
