Today online poker is
becoming the favorite pastime for many people, especially those from the United
States. It's free to play and fun. However, some online poker sites also use
real money in Indonesia. This may not sound like a big deal but the consequences
of this are serious. I am not talking about the possible losses you could
suffer from withdrawing your winnings because if that were to happen your
online poker game deposit would be gone forever and if you need that money
urgently then it would be next to impossible to retrieve it.
It is illegal for poker
rooms and casinos in many countries to accept any type of payment other than
cash or PayPal. However, not all online poker sites do. There are literally
thousands of online poker rooms on the Internet where you can play poker for
real money. All of these sites make their money by charging fees to anyone who
wants to play and they are also able to derive a profit from using real
currency from their clients.
If an online poker room
allows players to withdraw money from their bank account, they are not taking
the appropriate step to ensure their security. They are not even taking the
step to ensure that their own funds are secure. There have been numerous cases
over the years where online Poker88sites have had their accounts hacked into and
the user's personal information stolen. Not only is the potential cost to the
victim (not to mention the possible cost to the online poker site) great but it
is a crime that could have major consequences if found out to be happening.
Another thing to look
out for online is how a payment is converted into the local currency. Most
online casinos will automatically transfer your winnings to your native
currency, which can be risky if you live in a different country from where the
online casino operates. Not only is this unnecessary, but it could lead to
problems with the law. You need to be careful to ensure that your payment is
going to the country you wish it to go to and that you are not going to some
kind of scam.
Finally, if you choose
to pay through an online casino and they ask you for a wire transfer, be very
careful in deciding which online poker site to use. Scam sites will often ask
you for large sums of money up front and then demand payment back down the line
when you cannot or do not receive your payments in a timely manner. Never send
money through an online poker site, if the site requires that you have a
verified credit card or account. Also avoid sites that may ask for a large
upfront payment with a set amount due after your win.
If you are using an
online casino and you feel that you have been scammed, do not give up. There
are several things you can do to prove that you have not been scammed. Review
the transaction receipt, which is a document that shows the date and details of
the transaction. There should also be a copy of this receipt available with the
online casino. Also do not pay any deposits or cash to an online poker game
until you are provided with a downloadable proof of insurance from your online
casino. If you feel you were not paid what you thought you were, contact the
online casino and file a dispute.
