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.

Deal expands bet365 casino rollout in Spain and Ontario, with 50+ Gaming Corps titles certified for Alberta from 13 July 2026.

Gaming Corps has launched with bet365 in Alberta on the first day of the province’s regulated iGaming market opening (13 July 2026), while also expanding its content footprint with the operator in Spain and Ontario.

The Sweden-based, publicly listed game developer said it is among the first wave of studios certified for Alberta, supporting bet365’s entry with more than 50 games available at launch. The day-one portfolio spans Slots, Table, Plinko, Mine Games and Instant Blitz.

Gaming Corps said the expanded partnership includes its football-themed titles, including Penalty Champion: Goals to Glory, plus the 3 Pigs series (3 Pigs of Olympus, 3 Pigs of Olympus 2: Rise of the DemiHog and 3 Pigs of the Caribbean).

The rollout also brings Gaming Corps’ new Low RTP Blackjack titles to bet365, which the supplier said are designed around 93.57% RTP and approximately 6% operator hold, with side-bet mechanics and flexible branding options.

Graham Greensmith, Chief Commercial Officer at Gaming Corps, said: “Extending our partnership with bet365 across Spain, Ontario and Alberta is a major moment for Gaming Corps, but Alberta is the real statement here. Going live with bet365 from day one reflects the work our teams have put into certification, onboarding and ensuring we can move quickly and confidently with major operator partners.

“As one of the earliest studios ready for Alberta, we’ll be bringing more than 50 titles to the province. That breadth matters, because it gives operators like bet365 a single partner across multiple verticals, with content designed to support acquisition, engagement and retention across different player segments. Spain and Ontario are also important regulated markets for us and expanding with a global operator of this scale highlights how far Gaming Corps has come in a short period of time.”

Richard Graham, Associate VP of Gaming at bet365 at said: “Gaming Corps has become a valuable content partner, combining recognisable game identities with formats that add variety across our casino offering. We are pleased to extend the partnership into Spain, Ontario and Alberta, with the Alberta launch particularly important as part of our day-one commitment to the market.

“Expanding the relationship across multiple territories in a relatively short period reflects the strength of the collaboration, as well as the Gaming Corps team’s clear product direction, commitment and continued development as a game vendor. We look forward to giving players access to a wide-ranging portfolio from the moment the market opens.”

ThrillTech has been awarded a Gaming-Related Supplier licence by the Alcohol and Gaming Commission of Ontario (AGCO), clearing the company to launch in Ontario’s regulated market.

The licence allows ThrillTech to deploy its opt-in side bet jackpots technology with regulated online casino, sports betting and lottery operators across the province.

Benjamin Bradtke, Co-Founder of ThrillTech, said: “Securing our AGCO licence is a major step in our mission to transform how jackpots are delivered at scale across regulated markets. This latest certification is testament to our robust technology and trusted compliance frameworks, allowing us to continue our global growth trajectory. We are thrilled to bring our proven, compliant jackpot technology to Ontario, empowering locally licensed operators to uplift revenue without cannibalising existing spend.”

The company said its “ThrillPots” mechanics sit as an independent, player-funded side bet and do not alter the underlying game’s return-to-player mathematics.

ThrillTech said the Ontario approval enables its existing multinational partners that also operate in the province to launch its side bet jackpots locally, while it also holds talks with potential new operator partners. The company lists its regulated footprint as including the United Kingdom, Sweden, the Netherlands, Romania, Malta, Gibraltar, Brazil and Peru.
