B. Security Related Answers.

1. How do I know my personal information is secure?

All the casino sites establish a secure SSL connection between your machine and their server before you provide confidential information. On the other hand, if you still feel uncomfortable with the idea of providing credit card information over the Internet then you can contact the Casino Support staff through one of their contact channels to assist you with any problems or find out what alternatives they can suggest.

2. Is it safe to give my credit card details over the Internet?

In general, the answer is Yes. There are some safeguards you can check on to feel more secure. Ensure you are dealing with a reputable website before giving credit card information. Always ensure the site makes use of SSL (secure socket layering) digital certificates. There are 2 ways to check this. Firstly, the protocol in the address line of your browser will be shown as https and not just http. For example https://sitename.com
SSL means that all the network traffic between your browser and the server you are connected to, are encrypted. By encrypting the data, it is virtually impossible for anybody to intercept your credit card or personal information.
Secondly, a padlock will be shown somewhere in the browser, indicating you are using SSL. By double clicking on the padlock you will be shown the digital certificate information. From this you will be able to see who the certificate belongs to, when it expires, and which Certificate Authority (CA) has signed the certificate.

3. I can not remember my Account Name and Password. What should I do?

Contact the Casino Support staff immediately through one of the available support channels such as toll free number, email support etc. They will gladly assist you.

4. What if I have a problem logging in?

This can occur for two reasons: You have typed your Account number incorrectly or you have typed your Password incorrectly. Please make sure you enter them correctly and try again. Incase you are still unable to login, contact the Casino Support staff immediately.

5. When I install the software will it work though my personal firewall?

We have personally tested every casino listed on our site with Windows XP with SP2 and the personal firewall enabled. Secondly it was tested through an ADSL wireless gateway with it's default firewall configuration and no connectivity problems were encountered. There should be no need to enable any special firewall configuration for the downloaded Online Gambling Casino client software.

6. Can I play the casino games from my company's network?

Yeah, well, now this is a tricky one. Technically, the answer is yes, you should be able to. However, most probably your company will seriously frown upon this and most companies have policies describing acceptable Internet usage for company purposes. Most certainly accessing online gambling casinos will not be seen as legitimate business use, unless casino gambling is part of your companies legitimate line of business.

C. Download and Installation related Answers.

1. Do I have to deposit money to download and play the casino games?

No, almost all the casinos listed here that offer South African Rand Gambling Casinos give the option to either play for free or for real cash. You will still however be required to register irrespective of your choice of gameplay.

2. Why do I need to download and install the casino software?

Having the software running directly on your own machine speeds up the casino gambling gameplay and minimizes delays due to slower Internet connection methods such as dial-up modem connections. The software is non-intrusive and only becomes active when you choose to run it. So in general there is no issue with downloading and installing it.

3. How do I Download the Free Software?

Most casinos will provide a pop-up message on their main casino website page that prompts you to download the software. Simply click on the "Yes" option to download and install the software. If you choose not to accept this option, most casinos have a clearly marked "Download" option in the website where you can download the software.

4. What if I don't want to install any software on my machine?

If you wish not to install any software on your machine you will be limited in your casino options. This means that you need to register at a casino that offers a "No Download Flash Version" of their software on their website. In this case you only need the "Flash" plugin installed in your browser, and then you will be able to play directly through your browser without the need to install any other software.

5. Do I have to download every time I want to play?

No. You only need to download and install the software once on your machine.

6. How do I know when the casino has new games?

You can either check out the casino site for new games, or simply start your casino gambling client software. When it connects to the casino it will automatically download any new games that have become available since the last time you played. When you registered at the casino you provided an email address. The casino may wish to send you an email informing you of promotions or new games that have been launched by them. So there is no need to worry about it, you will be notified automatically.

7. How do I update my casino software?

The casinos were very clever with their software. When you start the casino client software it will automatically check for a newer version or updates. If an update is required, it will prompt you to download the updates and the software update process is an automated process from there. It will do everything for you that is required to update your client software.
