When choosing an online sports betting portal there are some essential parameters to consider to make your entertainment safe. Among all the certifications that should be present when you surf a gambling website, pay attention to the AAMS logo, the acronym that certifies and ensures the legality for safe play, both for players who have registered on the website and for betting operators.

It is necessary for users to pay attention to this significant detail, usually placed on the lower part of online legal portals: all the Italian websites with no AAMS license are promptly shut down by the authorities.  All users who set up an account with the website and have put money into their player accounts, will lose their money and no longer be able to get them back.  Also, all the winnings here, are not legit.

Moreover, you need to consider that when a player enters his credential and personal data to play on these websites, he is giving access to his sensitive information to a non-guaranteed system. So it could be very dangerous for you and your savings not to make sure of the loyalty of the operator.
