我必须承认，当我第一次开始网上赌博时，我最担心的是，我的私人和财务信息会在互联网上公开。然而，我更关心的是我的赌博彩乐在线支付。但几年下来，我对网上支付的安全性建立了信心。这份信心主要来源于良好的网上赌场。一些良好的网上赌场采取非常实际的步骤，以确保他们的玩家的财务细节，始并终保持安全性和可靠性。此外，我已经学会了识别一些优良的在线赌场网站，以确保我在一个安全的赌博环境中玩游戏。

　　网上赌场使用的确保玩家信息安全的最重要的工具是安全套接字层（SSL）数据加密协议。通俗地说，这意味着所有发送到网上赌场的数据，有关财务数据或私人资料是乱码，网上赌场需要通过阅读代码破译才能进行阅读。 SSL加密是一个十分安全的方式来阻止海湾的黑客对在线赌场的攻击，即使黑客设法拦截那些发送给网上赌场的信息，他们也将无法理解信息的内容！目前，大多数网上赌场使用256位SSL加密技术，这已经被证明是非常有效的方法。

　　网上赌场使用另外一个保护玩家的系统是防火墙。简言之，防火墙是保护在线赌场网站，这意味着只有网站的高层管理人员被允许访问某些领域，而未经授权的用户是无法访问那些财务数据库的。通常安装这种技术是由保安公司的总理负责的，如VeriSign或Thawte。选择一个安全可靠的网上赌场，需要先查看该网上赌场网站是否有这些保安公司的标志，以确保额外的保护层。

　　当然，也有一些普遍的不太重要的措施来确保玩家的个人信息和财务安全。不是任何人都可以访问该网站的网上赌场的。当您注册时，您还可以选择一个用户名和密码来保护您的帐户和信息。

　　根据所有这些保护系统，我可以诚实地说，网上赌博是互联网娱乐中最安全的娱乐形式之一。

　　How Secure are Online Casinos?

　　I must admit that when I first started gambling online, my biggest fear was the fact that I was exposing my private and financial details over the internet.  A few years down the line I am much more confident about paying for my gambling entertainment online. A lot of that confidence comes from the fact that good online casinos take very real steps to ensure that their players’ financial details are kept safe and secure at all times. In addition, I’ve learned to identify those sites who go the extra mile to make sure that I’m playing in a safe gambling environment.

　　The most important tool used by online casinos to keep your information safe is the use of Secure Socket Layer （SSL） data encryption protocols.  In layman’s terms, this means that all data sent to the online casino regarding financial data or private details is garbled up and can only be read by the online casino when the code is cracked.  SSL encryption is a great way to keep hackers at bay  as even those who manage to intercept messages sent to or from the online casino won’t be able to understand it anyway!   Most online casinos today use 256 bit SSL encryption, which has proven to be very effective against fraudsters.

　　Another system used by online casinos to protect their members is the use of firewalls. In a nutshell, firewalls keep unauthorized users out of the site, which means that only top management of the site is allowed to access certain areas, ie. those where the financial data is stored.  This kind of technology is usually installed by premier security companies such as VeriSign or Thawte, and I usually look out for online casinos that carry these companies’ logos on their sites to ensure that extra layer of protection.

　　Of course, there are also the usual, but by no means less important, measures taken by online casinos to ensure that not just anybody can access the site.  When you sign up, you choose a user name and password, which protects your account and info.  With all these protective systems, I can honestly say that online gambling is one of the safest forms of internet entertainment available out there.
