Regulations Making Online Casinos ‘Safer,’ Say ExpertsOnline casinos have encountered some roadblocks recently, as consumers have become reluctant to use them in response to concerns that these platforms are not safe to use, especially because they lack regulations.

After the PokerStars scam came crashing down, it has been difficult to build up the reputation of online casinos, including those who have no affiliation with the company that openly stole from its customers.

However, increased regulations have made it safer for customers to use these online casinos today. In addition, because many people have started using online banking and other online monetary services, it has become more and more acceptable to gamble online (where legally permissible to do so, of course).

Europe is currently leading the pack when it comes to regulations in online casinos, and there are still more regulations to come. Because many online casinos operate out of tax havens, levying the appropriate taxes has been especially difficult.

Online casinos are also being encouraged to implement self-regulatory measures and to act as watchdogs for each other, so that the entire industry becomes more legitimate and so that consumers will have fewer qualms about signing up for these websites.
