It’s natural to be paranoid about putting your financial details online, but according to the RGA people should be confident about the security measures undertaken by online casinos. In a statement recently issued, the RGA said that the online casino industry has “no security problems that people choosing to gamble online need to be concerned about.”
Brian Wright, the RGA’s business director, said that with the expansion of the online gaming industry significant resources have been used to ensure safety to the highest degree.
He added that the popularity of online casinos is primarily due to their “usability” and “comfort.”
He said: “''While it was all being built up and becoming established there was a perception that people weren't familiar with it and didn't really have the confidence to bet online, but I think customers now realise that it is such a safe form of gambling.'

I too find it hard to believe. Even my bank warns of some risk and talks instead of what we as users of online banking should be doing to reduce the risks. If the banks, that are guarding all of our finances cannot be sure then how can casinos?

Frankly, I find this hard to believe. Usually it's not computer error, it's human error. I was affected two years ago when Bank of American "lost" a computer containing customer data. So while I am sure they have taken lots of security measures, I don't know how far I can feel completely unconcerned.

Of course there's some risk, but it's usually not going to be at the fault of legit casino places -- it's going to be because of scam sites, people having viruses and keyloggers on their own computers, etc. Security is usually pretty great if you pay attention and are careful.

I think with anything online there is some degree of risk, whether at the site you are visiting or in the transfer of data to or from that site is pretty irrelevant. I do think there are some pretty decent security measures in place to make online gambling sites more safe than your average website though.
