You can easily get scammed while gaming online with tech advancements having their security loopholes. Hackers explore them and succeed when users aren’t careful. On the flip side, you can utilize several security features and techniques when playing online. We shall review these tips to help you be secure the next time you play online.

Use Certified Providers

Access to your information or gaming devices is easy when downloading or signing up to respective sites or downloads. Your financial information is highly at risk when registering for game’s paid subscriptions, which is also a major issue with most online casinos.

Relevant authorities regulate online gaming activities, where quality platforms and downloads are usually certified, ensuring the safety of users. For instance, EA Sports is one of the most trusted gaming developers and suppliers that protects players’ confidential information.

Wagering platforms face such regulatory measures, where players can easily reach safe providers. Similarly, online casino Australia for real money include licensed platforms offering numerous secure gambling options. The sites cater for financial security, allowing players to deposit and withdraw their cash without malicious interference. If you’re feeling insecure about these casinos, check out their licensing system and safety guidelines, to guarantee the safety of your money.

Avoid Unnecessary Clicks

Gaming providers usually partner with other entities who can access your layout while playing or interacting with different game settings. However, they are mostly avoidable if uninterested in the products or services.

With this knowledge, hackers can create phishing accounts and portray them for clicks on gaming platforms. Take extra caution when accessing gaming services on websites where issues of unwanted pop-up sites are common. Clicking on a malicious site can expose your entire browsing history and data, thus a potential threat to identity theft.

Using Stronger Passwords

Password protection is more imminent in gaming when they are strong. You should avoid using the following for better password protectivity:

Pet names
Birthdays
Common phrases that are easily traceable.
Names of loved ones

A strong password is strictly personal, and no one can easily guess it. You can write it down if you have a short memory. A common tip is using the ‘remember password’ feature on your own devices. Here’s how to create a good password:

Utilizing unique but memorable phrases
Make the passcode at least 12 characters with characters like numbers, symbols, and punctuation.
Use two-step authentication, where the second protection option should include fingerprints or facial recognition.

Consistent System Updates

Gaming platforms always release updates at least annually, including new safety features. Keeping up-to-date with the features will include a fresh sign-up process, where you can also revise your passwords.

It is important to note that hackers prey on old operating systems, where passcodes and other firewalls are highly vulnerable. Additionally, these updates contribute positively to how you interact with the games.

Conclusion

The mentioned tips are the primary ways to fully secure your gaming activities online. Taking extra measures like system updates and the use of strong passwords for an online gamer is key, especially when showcasing your gameplay through social platforms.

LeoVegas Group granted three licenses to offer gaming software in Sweden

LeoVegas Group has been granted three five-year licenses by the Swedish Gambling Authority—known as “B2B licenses”— to develop and offer gaming software in Sweden. These licenses, effective from 1 July 2023, have been granted to the Group’s game studio Blue Guru Games and two platforms. Licenses are a prerequisite for providing software to licensed operators and an important step to prevent unlicensed gaming companies, consequently strengthening channelisation in the Swedish gaming market.

Since its inception, LeoVegas Group has experienced rapid growth, evolving from an operator into an integral player within the igaming industry’s value chain via game and platform development. Effective from July 1, 2023, under the Swedish Gambling Act, companies involved in the manufacture, provision, installation, or modification of game software utilised in online gaming are required to possess a license.

LeoVegas Group has now been granted three five-year licenses—referred to as “B2B licenses”—by the Swedish Gambling Authority. These licenses have been conferred upon the Group’s game studio Blue Guru Games, as well as the Group’s two platforms (PAM).

Gustaf Hagman, CEO of LeoVegas Group, said “We welcome the introduction of B2B licenses, a decisive step towards mitigating the impact of key gaming software being simultaneously provided to licensed operators and unlicensed operators targeting Swedish players. With the new regulations in force, it is now critical that authorities focus on those suppliers deliberately undermining the Swedish licensing system by facilitating unlicensed gaming“.

The 2019 initiation of Swedish gaming licenses marked a significant reform to regulate and supervise gaming companies operating in Sweden. This reform fortified regulations pertaining to marketing and consumer protection, while also ensuring substantial gambling tax revenues. The success of the B2B licensing system heavily depends on the Swedish Gambling Authority’s capacity to restrict key gaming software intended for licensed Swedish companies from simultaneously being used by unlicensed operators seeking to attract Swedish players.

On 1 May, LeoVegas Group announced its intentions to acquire game developer Push Gaming, which is also licensed by the Swedish Gambling Authority and holds two B2B licenses. The acquisition is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2023.
