There are some legitimate online casinos in the Internet world, but most of them are scams. The scams occur every payout time. Reports say that players who want to cash in their winnings are often:

1. Locked out of the system, while their accounts are frozen;

2. Ridiculously over-charged for the withdrawal – sometimes with a fee as high as 25%;

3. Deprived of the payout funds, which they never receive.

Before you enroll in a casino’s list of players, research the credibility of it.

How to avoid: act as if you are a customer already – ask a question that’s not in the FAQ and see how fast they reply to your e-mail or to your call. If their customer service is not acceptable, look for a different casino. In addition, research all their online reviews.
