Tips for Staying Safe When Playing Mobile Casino Games

Mobile phone and tablets are more popular than ever before, and the online casino industry has been adjusting accordingly. They’ve been putting out more mobile games with more of an emphasis on their mobile software, and 2014 is looking like it could be the year that mobile casino play really takes off and starts competing with downloadable casinos for the top spot. While you’ll probably want to get in on the action with a mobile casino at some point, you’ll need to use some special consideration to keep your accounts safe. Here we show you exactly how to go about that.

The first thing to realize is that it’s a lot easier to steal your phone than it is to steal your computer, so while you might have your computer set to automatically log into your casino accounts, it’s normally a bad idea to do that on your phone or tablet. When you’re logging in, you should make sure that you are very careful about other people seeing you type in your password because that would make it even easier for them to just swipe your phone and clear out your accounts.

If you’re going to play on your phone in public, which is a lot of the point for most mobile casino players, then you should try to avoid bringing attention to how much money you’re wagering. If at all possible, tell anyone who asks that you’re just playing for play money if you need to. This will help to avoid setting yourself up for being some kind of target for people who might want to steal your phone. It also helps to avoid setting yourself up for other types of theft is you’re playing for any serious stakes since people might think you’re a juicy target.

Finally, remember that the more layers of security you have for your phone, the better off you’re going to be if it does end up stolen. Having a password for your phone combined with a password for your account will buy you time to get into your accounts from a computer and secure them if your phone does end up being stolen at some point. If you avoid having icons for your casino accounts on your home screen, that can also help to keep people from noticing them, and that can buy you extra time as well.
