| Before
opening any sportsbook, spread betting or betting exchange
account, you would do well to check their credentials carefully.
Whilst internet fraud is generally a lot less prevalent
than many scaremonger newspaper reports would have you believe,
some people have discovered that it's a very real possibility.
It therefore makes sense to follow a few simple rules to
protect yourself:
- Only
bet with an organisation you know and trust. Opt for big
names to begin with, and then look at others based on
word of mouth recommendation rather than advertising hype.
-
Only bet with an organisation that uses secure internet
technology. This will ensure that your personal and financial
details are encrypted before transmission, rather than
floating around cyberspace unclothed.
- Only
use a credit card which automatically protects you from
internet fraud. An increasing number of credit card companies
offer this feature, and since it generally costs no extra
than any other card, it's worth having on your side.
