Mobile casino security

December 19, 2011 By

 

 

 

There are a number of things that have made Platinum Play such a successful online casino, and the great selection of games is really only scratching the surface. For me, one of the best aspects of the casino is the security that they provide to all their players every time we play there.

You hear so many horror stories about people having their information stolen whilst being online; it’s easy to be a little nervous any time you have to go on the net. The problem isn’t always with the person being careless, but instead it’s often down to the company that they are dealing with.

That’s not something that you will ever have to worry about when you log in at Platinum Play with their online security, because they make sure that your information is always safe, and part of that is choosing partners and deposit options match that level of security.

I am now officially over my “fear” of performing transactions online, and now know what to look for, and what sites to avoid when it comes to security levels. That faith doesn’t extend to my cell phone, so when I saw that Platinum Play was releasing a version of their casino software for mobile devices; I was a little concerned about depositing and safety issues.

I really shouldn’t have been worried at all, and the security encryption technology that is used in the mobile software is the same that is used at banks and major financial institutions all over the world. You really can’t get much safer than that, but PP go a step further by adding banking methods that are designed to protect all your private information no matter how many times you use them.

Playing casino games requires a high level of confidence in your skills, and if you are spending time worrying about your security, it’s going to affect your game. My advice is to get your game on at Platinum Play, where you can always place your bets with confidence.

Casino withdrawal options

December 6, 2011 By

 

 

 

 

 

Much is made about the number of options available ay Platinum Play when it comes to depositing money, but there isn’t a lot of chatter about withdrawals. That may very well be because most players always like to have money in their account so that they can play whenever they feel like it. It’s not like at a land based casino where you have to take your chips to the cashier window when you are done for the night; when you are done playing for the evening at Platinum Play, all you have to do is log out, secure in the knowledge that your finishing balance will be exactly as you left it after your last visit.

It save a lot of depositing and withdrawing time, but what if you hit a really nice jackpot and all you want to do is get your hands on all that lovely moolah. Well, that’s easy too, and there are tons of ways in which you can get your funds delivered to you.

Probably the most common way to withdraw money is to simply use the same method that you do to deposit. For me that means having the money transferred to my web wallet account, as it’s fast, secure and easy. I do a lot of shopping online, so having money in both my Platinum Play and web wallet account is the best way for me to do what I need to do with a minimum of fuss.

You could also choose to have the money wired to your bank, or request a check, and that process usually takes a couple of days, but with the Christmas holidays just around the corner, there is one other really cool option that you could look at.

You could request that your withdrawal amount be put on a debit or credit card, but be sure to check first as this option is not available in every country.

I play at the casino on a regular basis, so that means that my withdrawals are kept to a minimum, just so that I always have money in my account, but if you do need to withdraw, you can be sure that the folks here at PP will get your money to you as quickly and efficiently as possible.

Ukash

November 29, 2011 By

 

 

 

 

 

 

We are somewhat spoiled here at Platinum Play, because our casino is one of the few that has met all the safety and fairness requirements that earn the eCogra seal of approval. That in itself should be enough to alert players to the fact that this is the place to play if you don’t want to stress about your personal info being compromised, but there are still those who are a little nervous about sharing their information online.

If you are one of those who are still a little wary, then let me share something with you that will help allay the last of any fears you may have about online financial transactions. I’m talking about using web wallets, which require nothing more than your email to complete a payment, and one of the best out there at the moment is UKash.

Imagine a way of transferring money that requires zero of your personal information to do so, and you get an idea of how UKash works. All you have to do is look for a store that displays the epay symbol, go inside and pay for an Ukash voucher with cash, and then you can use the unique 19 digit number on the voucher to make your payment, or to deposit funds into your favourite online casino.

If you live in an area that doesn’t have epay friendly stores, then you can simply head on over to the UKash website where you can get a prepaid Mastercard to use in anywhere that MC is accepted. Besides the privacy, UKash is a great way to help keep yourself on a strict budget at the casino. Once the amount of your voucher or card is used up, you need to refill it in order to use it again. Of course Platinum Play is one of those places where UKash is accepted, and it’s just another example of how PP goes out of their way to make their casino the safest place to play.

Transaction history

November 27, 2011 By

 

 

 

 

 

All of us rely on our monthly bank statements to keep our check book balanced, and also to see if we are sticking to our monthly budget. It’s also a great way to check and see if there are any transactions on there that are questionable, or that we don’t really remember making for one reason or another.

This sort of cash statement is something that should be readily available at any facility where we make regular deposits and withdrawals, and that even extends to our time, and money, spent at our favourite online casino.

Well wouldn’t you know that Platinum Play has you covered once again by providing a detailed transaction history, breaking down all your dealings with them to the penny. The transactions are broken down into two separate, but equally important, sections that not only show you how much you deposited, but also exactly where that money was spent when you played at PP.

The CashCheck feature allows you to go back and examine every deposit and withdrawal made by you in the casino in stunning detail. This feature can be accessed by clicking on the My Account tab in the software. It’s one thing to know how much you have deposited and withdrawn, but much like the bank statement, it’s also great to know exactly how that money was spent. The PlayCheck feature does exactly that, showing you a detailed view of where and how much was wagered on any given day. This can be found by looking under the My Account Details, and then clicking on “View my game history.”

We all like to know where our money is going, and how much we have spent, especially if we have a greedy spouse that likes to log in and play on our accounts, although that’s fine as long as they are allowed to do so and are winning. This is just one more feature that puts Platinum Play head and shoulders above all the other online casinos out there.

How to choose the best casino

November 6, 2011 By

 

 

 

 

 

 

The online casino world differs from the land-based version in many ways, but perhaps the biggest difference comes in the choice that we have with the online variety. Even if you live in a large metropolitan city, chances are there will only be a couple of different live casinos to choose from, whereas online, the possibilities are endless.

I could ramble on about one place versus another, but perhaps the easiest way to break down what to look for in a good online casino, is to tell you the things that made me choose Platinum Play over all the others.
The first thing I did was to search a whole bunch of independent “Top 10” lists online, to see which casinos showed up regularly. What I found was that there lists were seldom the same in the top 3, which most likely meant that those first choices were either sponsored, or were affiliate programs that the list writer was a member of. That meant checking on down the lists and by doing that, I found that Platinum Play showed up on the majority of them.

I knew that I wanted a casino that ran the Microgaming software, which is arguably the best in the world, as well as one that bore the eCogra seal of approval. Any site that had both of those would virtually assure that my online experience would be both secure and fun, and again, Platinum Play had both.

The final thing that I wanted was a casino that had a number of banking options, specifically of the web wallet variety, so that I wouldn’t have to continually give out all my personal info; check again. Most people will have different reasons for opting for one casino over another, but I believe it’s essential that you find a site that is verified to be safe and secure and has a great selection of games and runs the best casino software in the world, and for me that equals Platinum Play.

Methods Of Payment

August 1, 2011 By

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Transactions at a land based casino are extremely straightforward; you hand over your money to the cashier and get that value of chips and, if you are lucky enough to win, hand over your chip bounty and receive the cash equivalent, simple.

It gets a little more complicated when playing online, but the good news is that there are many more options available to the online player than there are at their local casino. Before you make any transaction online, be sure that you are sending your money to a trusted casino that has a good reputation and long history of paying out to its customers. Platinum Play Online casino is one of those trusted sites, and here are the deposit and withdrawal options available to its players.

EcoCard – an online payment system that is the equivalent of a virtual debit/credit card.

Click2Pay – another online payment system with numerous ways to fund your account.

EntroPay – a virtual Visa and Mastercard, pre-paid debit card.

EZIPay – a pre-paid card used for mobile phone top-ups; fast becoming an online casino deposit option.
Check – a good, old-fashioned check is a great option, but if mailed in will take time to post to your account.

Bank Wire/Swift -another old-school payment method.

Solo & Maestro – both fully electronic debit cards, perfect for online transactions.

Visa debit/credit cards – these are subject to the country you are playing in as many banks, particularly in the US, are trying to stop their cards being used for gambling purposes.

Neteller & Moneybookers – online payment options similar to Paypal.

InstaDebit – usually attached to your checking account, but another service that is unavailable to US players.

UseMyWallet – another online payment option that seems to have been set up for the sole use of online casino players.

There are many options available at Platinum Play online casino, and I am sure that there is more than one that will be suitable for your needs, but all come with the same warning of never gambling more than you can afford to lose.
