Encryption (SSL)

The standard security technology for establishing an encrypted link between a web server (the casino's website) and a browser (the player's device). SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer.

SSL Encryption is a fundamental security requirement for any website that handles personal and financial data. For a UK-licensed online casino, it is a non-negotiable component of its operational security.

The technology works by scrambling all data transmitted between your device and the casino’s servers, making it unreadable to any third party who might try to intercept it. You can verify that a site is using SSL by looking for the padlock icon in your browser’s address bar and ensuring the URL begins with “https://”. All reputable casinos use at least 128-bit SSL encryption.

Formulas and examples

How to check:<br>1. Look for a padlock icon   in your browser's address bar.<br>2. The URL should start with https:// not http://.
