What is the first thing that comes to mind when you think of gambling? Most probably these are associations based on stereotypes rooted in society. That is why a large number of gamblers, fearing a negative public opinion, avoid talking about their passion with others – family members, friends, coworkers, etc. However, this does not protect them from others finding out that they are gambling online.

Who can find out about it?

If you use the Internet without any privacy tools, then your activity can be seen by:

  • Internet service provider;
  • WiFi network’s administrator;
  • Operating systems;
  • Hackers and
  • Government.

Internet service provider (ISP), WiFi network’s administrator, operating systems can see exactly what you do online. For example, who are you writing letters to, what are you posting on your social media or which websites you visit and where exactly do you click on there. What is more, your ISP can save this data for years or even longer depending on various factors. The information collected can be passed on for the government when it demands for that information. Also, the government has a right to track one’s online behavior and limit their privacy in some cases.

Finally, hackers, depending on their goals, can reach almost all information you could think of, including your login information, browsing history, your activity online, financial data and many more. If you understood how easily and quickly the information stored on your computer can be stolen, you would be absolutely overwhelmed and looking for ways to protect your data as soon as possible.

Is there a way to gamble online privately?

Yes, there is such a possibility. You can protect your data with a Virtual Private Network (VPN). It hides your IP address and provides you with a new one. Connecting to it creates an encrypted tunnel which disables the privilege of your ISP, WiFi network’s administrator, hackers and government to see your activity online. In other words, using a VPN ensures that you cannot be traced back. Therefore, all your sensitive personal information will remain protected.

Using VPNs on Roobet or other gambling platforms will allow you not only to stop being afraid that someone will find out about it, but also to access geo-blocked content. Online gamblers say that this is one of the major problems they face – not all gambling platforms are accessible for them because of the location they reside. So, in order to try one or another new gambling platform, you will no longer have to consider the possibility of moving to another country. Starting to use VPN services will be more than enough.

Finally, make sure that you use strong passwords and do not enclose your personal information for the third parties yourself: do not fill the pop-up windows with your personal details, do not use them in your login. While this may seem like a small detail, you’d be surprised to learn how much it can help hackers track down more information about you.
