The first independent gambling guide to the best online
casinos!
Underage Gambling Under Attack
Online gaming
companies are always having an issue making sure to keep underage
players out of the online gaming companies. A lot of online gaming
companies software companies have started putting in a birthdates
question to try to prevent underage users but as an underage person can
memorize an adult’s birthday there need to be a better technique to keep
the underage players away from the online casinos. Because it is all
internet connected, many youths are notorious for going on x rated sites
and other inappropriate sites for underage people. Online casinos are
just such an example of a place like anywhere else on the internet that
needs to be monitored for underage use. As visas are no longer the most
fashionable way to deposit money online, third party payment companies
seem to be the ones that need to implement some security technique.
A UK payment company named Data Cash has already taken this into
consideration and has delved into an agreement with BT. BT is a company
that provides communication solutions and provided Data Cash with a
service called URU Identification System. This system will make sure
that the people depositing money into online casinos via Data Cash are
really whom they say they are ant not underage people or other people
trying to do fraudulent things to the online casinos. Identification
questions will be asked and the online casinos player will have to know
answers to question far beyond those of birth date and age. The
questions will ask things related to personal records that can only be
accessed via a national reference database that is part of BT’s
systematic techniques in ensuring safe player gambling.
Since online casinos use other payment methods like NETeller, FirePay
and PayPal it is expected that in the near future they will pickup such
a system. That is not to say that these online casinos payment methods
lack in the security department; simply they just have not become as
sophisticated as DataCash is in its screening of online casinos.
Online casinos everywhere realize the importance of identification in
depositing money. People as young as sixteen can have visa cards and
that is not acceptable on behalf of online casinos payment methods.
Online casinos everywhere are aware of this but are especially adamant
about it in the UK. Money Laundering Regulations need to make themselves
applicable to online casinos as well so that fraudulent behavior can be
met with appropriate consequences and thus, set precedence for other
minors and frauds not to enter into the online casinos. Both the
citizens and the actual online casinos will benefit from it as accepting
deposited money from a minor can serve as a big process for online
casinos.
Many gaming commissions have also stated that they plan to check log
books and data records of online gaming sites internationally in order
to ensure that online gaming companies are taking all the measures they
can to prevent underage gambling. Underage users will have to stop
gaming.
