How to Protect Yourself While Gambling
There are many people who enjoy heading on to online gambling platforms to play different games or place bets. You might enjoy it but then, in the back of your mind, have lingering concerns about how safe it is to be playing such online games. It is normal to feel like this as the more we begin to rely on technology, and it seems, the more threats we face on a daily basis. If you want to know how you can effectively protect yourself and all of your information while playing online gambling games, you are in the right place, as this will be discussed in more detail below.
Use a Reputable Online Gambling Website
If you want to stay safe when you are online gambling, then all of this begins with the website that you are using. There is a massive array of choices out there when it comes to picking an online casino, and as such, you’re going to want to make sure that you are heading over to a secure online casino where all of your data and money will be safe when playing. This is going to make it so that you are a lot safer when you are gaming, meaning you can rest easy when playing on the different games available.
Consider Secure Login Methods
You should make sure that the website you are going to use comes with secure methods of being able to log in to your account. A lot of sites now allow you to even use two-factor authentication, which makes things even more secure. They are able to stop people from getting access to your account through brute force attacks because, in order to log in, you will need to enter some kind of code that will be emailed or texted to you.
You should also make sure that the only gambling websites you use are ones that come with a valid SSL certificate. This will make it so that you easily differentiate from phishing websites that are simply trying to steal all of your information and legitimate online gaming or gambling platforms. This is because you can very easily tell whether or not a site has a valid SSL by having a look for the green “https” strip that you usually find in the address bar.
Avoid Unsolicited Emails
One of the more popular forms of online attack comes in the form of phishing emails. These are often used to target unsuspecting gamers and gamblers, and they have an alarming success rate as well. If you receive a random email that you are not expecting, which is asking you to click on a link and saying that you only have a limited amount of time to do so, then chances are you are about to click on a phishing link that will try and take all of your personal information. If you receive one of these emails, then don’t give it a second thought. Simply send it straight to your spam folder.

EveryMatrix has expanded its partnership with tier-1 operator Pinnacle powering its new casino in Ontario, Canada, using CasinoEngine platform technology – the first time its platform solution has gone live in North America.
The latest agreement builds on the two companies’ previous collaboration that saw EveryMatrix’s CasinoEngine productivity platform power the well-known brand’s global casino offering.
The new launch takes the relationship to North America, marking EveryMatrix’s debut CasinoEngine platform integration in that market.
BonusEngine, EveryMatrix’s cross-vertical bonusing tool will be integrated in the second phase of launch. This will equip Pinnacle Ontario with a host of bonus types as well as AI-powered bonus abuse solution Bonus Guardian.
BonusEngine is the first of multiple engagement tools from EveryMatrix’s EngageSuite that Pinnacle plans to integrate.
With this comprehensive toolkit at its disposal, and the opportunity to add even more casino products in the future, Pinnacle Ontario can tailor campaigns, segment audiences, and reward players more effectively, creating a world-class digital entertainment experience for its customers.
EveryMatrix has more than 300 global customers and holds North American licences in Ontario, New Jersey, Michigan, West Virginia, Connecticut and Pennsylvania.

As CEO of Prime Skill Games Inc., I feel compelled to address recent comments made by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario regarding so-called unapproved gambling machines in convenience stores across the province.
Let me be perfectly clear
Our machines are not gambling devices. They are entirely skill-based, fully compliant with the law, and built on the fundamental idea that players are in control. The outcome of every session is determined solely by the player’s ability, not by random chance.
Prime Skill Games is proud to be the only true skill game operating in Ontario today.
We categorically reject any suggestion that our products fall under the definition of unregulated gambling. Such statements are inaccurate, misleading, and fail to recognize the critical distinction between games of skill and games of chance.
We stand firmly behind the legality of our machines and the integrity of our operations. We will demonstrate this through every available means, whether through legal documentation, expert analysis, or, if necessary, before the courts. We are prepared and unafraid to defend the truth.
To our players, partners, and business community, we want to reassure you that our mission has not changed. We are committed to offering a responsible, transparent, and innovative entertainment experience. We will not be intimidated by broad and baseless accusations, and we will continue to move forward with strength and clarity.
Sincerely
Matt Zamroźniak
Chief Executive Officer
Prime Skill Games Inc.
