How Safe Are Live Online Casinos?
Live casinos online keep popping up like mushrooms from the ground. Live online is the new live live. People just seem to love sitting at home, where they can come and go with no notice at all. The internet has changed the way we live, and online casinos pose no exception to that rule.
But as there is a gradual increase in live casino games online, how can you know for sure it is all fair play?
At a real live location casino – at which you are physically present – you stand the chance of spotting any dodgy activity or card mechanics. Although such occurrences are very rare, being there in person, live in front of the dealer, at least renders you some level of control. Playing at a live casino online is a whole different story.
So how do you know that the cards at your favorite live casino online are not being unfairly shuffled (or even replaced for a loaded deck from an angle that the camera cannot pick up on), or that that live roulette wheel is not connected to magnets to control the outcome?
Well, to be fair, even at a real live physical casino game, you’d likely be left clueless to such antics. Again, such things are almost unheard of in 2023 – and especially so in sophisticated countries like Canada – unless you play at some mobster run basement joint.
To answer this question in full there are two responses that should put you at ease.
1) Live online casinos are immensely popular. They rely on their inbuilt casino edges (different of course depending on the casino game in question). By applying the law of large numbers – and which truly applies to successful and well-established live casinos online – they don’t need to fiddle about to gain another minimal edge.
Given the severe laws and punishments for such attempts, few people would ever consider doing so, even on their own behalf. And as casinos, including live casinos online, are severely scrutinized even by their own people, it’s just not worth the risk. Prison time just isn’t worth the hassle and limited upside for any one individual. Better then to live freely.
2) Just like any live land-based casino, live casinos online are under constant scrutiny by gaming control commissions. Those institutions are no joke. They show up unannounced to ensure the decks are complete, untampered with and that no external devices or material are added onto any of the live casino gear. Any questionable actions, and that gambling certificate (worth its weight in a roulette table of gold) just isn’t worth it.
Frankly speaking, I have not to date heard of any live casino online (at least not a serious live casino online!) that has lost its license.
Just like no coffee shop spits in their customers’ coffees to save money on water, live casinos online stand little to nothing to gain from tampering with an already well-oiled money printer.
