Security Issues When Playing Bingo Online

Because of the legality issues regarding playing poker online, many players are looking to find a game that they can play online that would not put them in any legal hot water. One choice available for these people is playing bingo online. While bingo is more luck than skill, it is still considered as a safer bet with regards to its legality. Many states for example allow bingo halls to operate while poker games are strictly regulated.

If you are one of those people willing to try online bingo games, one of your major concerns should be security. Like with other online casino games, you have to be sure that the information you send to the site’s server is in no way compromised during the transfer. Hackers or people making a living out of stealing other people’s financial details usually do it by eavesdropping on the connection between the victim’s computer and the server.

If the connection used between the two points is not secure enough, hackers can easily decrypt the data transferred thus giving them the power to use your financial details in whatever way they choose to. If you are therefore choosing an online casino to play online bingo in, make sure that they use the most powerful security system for their connection. Encryption software used by online casinos uses a unique key so that the information sent to the server is jumbled and cannot be decrypted unless the hackers have access to the key.

Even if the site uses great encryption software, there’s still a chance that hackers could get to your financial information. For example, they can lead you to believe that the site you are in is the real site but in reality, it is just a dummy site made to look like the real one. These are called phishing sites because they are designed to fish for information. If you enter your login info for example on these sites, then your username and password could end up on the hands of these shady individuals.

It is therefore important to note that even if the site you are going to play in has done everything they can to protect players the players also have their part to play. Be wary of emails claiming to be from the online casino asking for your login credentials and the like. The same thing applies with people calling you and claiming that they work for the site.

No Limit Holdem Cash Games or Tournaments

Well both forms poker prove to be profitable in their own ways. Firstly, All tournament participants put up a certain amount of money to buy in.

This creates a prize pool.

Now depending on how many players there are determines how many people will cash. Big number of entrants with a big buy in means more people will get to profit.

The goal is to survive till the end!

Every pot won is essentially paying for the future costs of the ever increasing blinds.

Now can you simply be a winning poker player just playing no limit hold em tournaments?

Yes and no!

What I mean is that in the beginning you will not have the bankroll to play tournaments consistently. Unless you have already 15k saved up. And chances are you don’t. Even with 15k that amount will be eating up rather quickly believe it or not. You only have a 20% win rate meaning 80% of the time you lose no matter how good you are.

So your bankroll will be leached if your playing strictly tournaments or I should too many of them.

But they are very, very lucrative if you have the bankroll & can last the bad beats, suck outs, the runner runners.

So how do you build a bigger bankroll?

Cash games!

This form of poker will be the lifeblood of your career. I see no limit holdem tournaments as luxury poker. It’s not a grind and you get rewarded handsomely for outlasting all other competitors. Cash games on the flip side is a patient slow grind. You’re going into a cash game with results based on a hourly rate.

You have a totally different plan for cash games! Your money at a cash game is yours to keep, you win a big hand you can leave.

So what you do is to grind your money up.

Grind your money up to the point where you have enough bankroll where if you get knocked out a tournament it doesn’t hurt.

Look at it this way if you only had $400 to your name it would be silly to jump into a $400 tournament. But it would be plenty wise to sit down at a $1-2 cash game with a game plan/hourly rate. Your return on investment or roi is greater for the amount of money you possess when it comes to cash games.

So it comes down to this, tournament poker can be greatly profitable if you have the bankroll for it. But if you don’t have it then simply grind it out till you do.

Of course your skills & abilities will determine how much you win at either. So constantly improving your game builds your poker equity which equates to a winning player.

How to online casino fraud mahat

The thing about good things is that there will always be someone that will ruin the fun for the rest of us. For instance, because of the popularity of online casinos, shady individuals are coming out of the woodwork to work their black magic. The magic of course is hoodwinking people and tricking them to give up financial details.

If you are therefore looking to play in an online casino, you have to be on guard against these scammers. Below are some of the things you can do to protect yourself. Keep these tips in mind and share them to help the fight against frauds and scammers that give online casinos a bad name.

First of all, you have to make sure that when you are dealing with a site where you would have to provide personal information, a secure connection should be used. This should be a feature of all online casinos as a secure connection between your computer and the server would make it impossible for people to eavesdrop. With an unsecured connection, it would be possible for certain people with skills to gather the data being transmitted which could include banking and other financial details.

Another tool being exploited by scammers is electronic mail. Through emails, they can reach out to people that could end up being victimized. If you receive an email from someone claiming to be a representative of an online casino you are a member of, be wary especially if the email address used is a free one or is not associated with the domain of the casino.

There are times when an email from a scammer is made to look like the real thing. You should think twice though about replying to it especially if the email sender is asking for critical information. A reputable online casino would not ask for information you have already provided during the registration process.

Scammers can also use the phone to get to you. They can call you and read a script that sounds like they are indeed working with a legal online casino. The same thing with emails, if they ask for information that the online casino would already have, do not entertain them.

Since you will be playing with real money, you have to be cautions with every deal. You even have to make sure that you are at the correct site before logging in with your credentials. Always check if the domain name is correctly spelled to avoid phishing sites.
