There are some.security tips someone should follow. The most basic one is having the real URL bookmarked and making sure you are on an HTTPS url. Other than that, if you are connecting through a connection you don't really trust it might also be a good idea to use a VPN. This is why I like casinos that are friendly to VPNs, because it's also a security measure.

And in terms of passwords and usernames, always use different ones. Especially if you keep decent amountsin your casino account even for just a few minutes, you don't want to have people guessing your password based on what might have been leaked from other sites.
My measure setbacks with VPN usage os in the area of network sluggishness while on VPN because I have not enjoyed gambling using a VPN as bypass access,  it makes the site load extremely slow and sometimes most features won't even load at all.

But if I off the VPN and try to access it with my free networks,  it works fast and smoothly compared to what I always experienced with VPNs in the past.
Talking to those free VPN then it isnt shocking which this is what i do really experience on making use of them specially on Opera browser VPN access which loading times are really that slow
and this is why there's no point on making use of this if you arent something needing to hide.There are really just those people who doesnt really want for their IP address to be known but in todays
ISP on which it is really that always dynamic so its not really that much of an issue in speaking about IP location or whatsoever.

Going back into the issue about having those always logging in scenario then it would really be that kind of a hassle thing on which you do always do make out some log in details
or inputting those information but we do know that as long you do have trust into your connection and with your pc or mobile then it wont really be that
much of an issue honestly.

It would have been better if OP shared the name of the casino he is talking about, when you log into a website, the time session doesn't always depend on the platform either gambling or not, sometimes it's the browser you are using, and I haven't seen such problems before when using a gambling platform that's why I said it's should have been better if OP shared the name of the casino he is referring to.

The casino needs to make a check box available and it's not hard to do, maybe they will listen if you drop them the complain directly, but honestly I don't even use to notice that such problem exists with casinos, the few casinos that I use for gambling don't give me such problems.

My advice is make sure the casino is a popular one, if its new be careful with them, their security might even be worse, due to avoiding spending more money on better website security, I even recommend creating a separate strong password for such online casinos.

If you have been visiting that casino frequently, it will be saved to your browser unless you use another browser for it.

I agree to the measures that you've mentioned to make yourself protected by any other intruders and attacks. These habits are important to recover for someone who does care for his funds stored on your casino accounts.

As long as you know the official website, you can have it bookmarked and it's just all about that to save time from logging in and as well as small potential attacks.
Yes, it is true that you should avoid accessing casino sites outside the home, let alone using a browser on another computer, for example, if you are used to playing using a cellphone and a computer with WiFi at home, you should only access them both inside the house, not outside the house, it might be very vulnerable to intrusion and That's important, until now I still consistently only access it using my cellphone and computer at home apart from that I don't gamble outside the house let alone access the casino.
While it is important to note that when you go outside and you try to gamble in the casino where you used to gamble, make sure your connection is safe and you don't connect to public wifi because it is unsafe.

If we are careful and consistent with security, of course everything will be fine and the account will be safe with phishing links or something else and bookmarking is also one of the most effective ways to save site links and also save passwords for casino account login details without having to type them again so they are filled in. It will automatically be easier to access it quickly, as long as you're still using the same browser, there's no problem
Bookmarking is just one of the safety measures that one can do. Whether the casino keeps you asking about your login details upon visiting them, it's normal.

It's much better to login every time you visit but if you don't like that, just adjust and think of it that you have to do it all of this time for your safety usually if you have a lot of funds on your casino account.

When a platform asks for login details too often it is annoying for users, because users need to retype their login details which is more risky (does not apply to those who have auto-fill passwords enabled). I don't know the reason why casino platforms make their sessions so short, because for security and other issues they can use third party services such as Cloudflare or others. The platform should set their sessions long enough and have a robot verification system to prevent bots.
I can relate to this. It may be understandable if they don't have that " remember me " thingy, along with a small white box that we need to check, so that we don't need to login anymore the next time we visit them. But the problem is they do have that and it doesn't work as it was intended.

The issue is already present for a long time but up until now they haven't given any action to fix it. Other than that, I also experience the same thing in the pop-up advertisements and in-game banners. They also have that option for them to not show up next time but it doesn't work as well. It's so annoying man, however I wouldn't say it's risky because I already downloaded their app and bookmarked their site. You guys should too.

That's why features like "keep me log in" is saving time and less annoying. I guess on this one, it's to each their own.

Some may agree, and there are the others that will disagree. Honestly, it's not that much to think of when the casino asks you frequently about your log in details because there's a security measures through that.

If you find it that it is costing you a lot of time then all you need to do is to find another one or request that to the casino where you're gambling.
There are just time saved log ins are undergoing reset. You may save the address of that gambling site or to manually check each letter and punctuation ‘coz it is where phising sites are taking advantage.Another option is to not store huge amount of money or tomake it a habit withdrawing the fundswhenever you’re done playing to lessen your worries of losing all of it if ever you would mistakenly log in to fake gambling sites. Never be too lazy if you’re afraid of the consequences of such action.

Usually gambling sites does have that session timer on which it would really be having that automatic logged out on the time that there's no activity but just like on what you said that there are ones who would really be just still that get logged in despite on being inactive or simply doesnt have that kind of log in limit. We arent that dumb on not to see on which one is better when it comes to security but its not always a concern considering that majority of gamblers do really end up on zero balance on which security isnt really that your outmost priority but rather you would really be choosing or sticking into those sites which you do see that you could really be having that a good user experience or simply does have that less hassle for you to be able encounter on a certain platform.

You would really be that staying up on a place on which you do seem that it would really be that comfortable for you to play on. There are ones who do really find it quite hassle for them to
always making those kind of log ins and there are ones who do really just simply that doing fine or just okay with it and accepts that this for safety feature which it is
but there are ones who dont really like for them to get hassled from time to time on their gambling sessions.

I think its normal to put your login credentials frequently in the website, if you dot want that then save password so that you will never put your passwrodd in it so many times, but that is more risky you know, if you dont trust the website then stop using it, I get it you are just concern on your security but I know before you registered in the website casino there is an agreement section that you need to check, if you a responsible gambler who concerns your security then you should read that before signing in, because the moment you check it and created an account then you agree to input your personal details, if you really want to stay away unnecessary website then use a VPN it will protect your browsing in internet, but of course see first if the website casino will allow the use of VPN.
Most persons have refused to open an account with Casino bets online because they are scared that they can just wake up one morning and see all their money vanish,I don't blame them because things like that are happening,and we can't just trust them completely.Just like the other day,I told my friend to open an account with sportybet,so that he can be playing games online,but he refused and told me about  a boy that opened an account with them,and before he knew it,everything in his account was wiped out.I tried convincing him and he told me No.
As for me,I don't trust them totally,but I just need to have an account with them to be able to play online games.

Most platforms would allow you to save your login details and also have a "Remember me" checkbox that you should mark so that you stay logged in until the session times out. And even if a platform doesn't have these features, if someone has bookmarked the website, they shouldn't really have any issues because that bookmark should take them to the official website unless their device has some sort of keylogger or malware that messes things up in the process.

Apart from the security concern, it also gets a bit annoying to keep logging in every time you close and reopen the tab or the browser and features such as Remember Me or Session or cookie remembrance should be available on all websites that require users to log in to use the services they are providing.
I tried using a bookmark for this particular casino and even at that,  on the first page you are still asking for your login details at each point in time and this is none of the reasons my suspicion was first raised toward them.

Most of the casinos that I used in the past and even at present doesn't demand for such sensitive information to be input and regular interval like this one.

With the recent happening as related to phishing, and hacks of accounts a lot of awareness has to be created around the gambling community most especially,  in the area of security and safety of accounts.

This has led me to desire to know the community,  reaction on this subject matter of user login details being frequently asked by a casino,  do you feel safe to see a casino asking you for user name,  or phone number and password each time you open the site in your browser.

To me, a session n n should last until the gamblers close the browser instead of being online and when you want to backspace or check out some feature outside your current mode the prompt for a new login comes up.

I feel unsafe with this and I have avoided the casino,  but that is just my thought but it be nice if I had your views on this.

Are you positive or negative on casinos asking for log-in frequently or do you feel unsafe in putting your login details every time?

My casino does not ask to log in frequently,I keep myself logged in and the casino fully accept such thing,I use Chromium browser in Linux which is the equivalent of the Chrome in Windows and I also have 2 factor authentication enabled in whatever case.When you have such security hardened account the only reason you fall for phishing is when you click some phishing link.Even if you get phished when you have 2 factor authentication enabled the hacker maximum can do is to use your balance inside the casino and not be able to withdraw it,if this happens,you just need to log out and log in back again with 2 fa credentials after clearing history and cache first and hacker has no more access to the account.

I never feel worried to get phished,my only worry is if the casino gets hacked but since they have million of dollars in profit I think it would be a shame for them to not have the best cyber security team safeguarding their realm.
Same here, once you do logged in then they wont really be asking out as long you dont logged or close your browser but if its really just that open then i dont see such logging out scenario.
It is really that indeed hassle if these things do really always require for you to log in just doing some short inactivity on your account or simply making out some alt+tab. It might
really be not a serious issue but you would really be finding it to be hassle on the time that you are on such scenario. If ever there are platforms like this then it would really be that wise
that they should really be changing up that kind of behavior. Yes, for security reasons but we know that when it comes on exchanging that user experience then
it would really be something that too pesky on logging in every now and then.

Actually, I do not feel unsafe whenever I provide my logging credentials in any casino, since I take the time to go through some security measures before logging onto the casino.
First, I have got Double factor authentication enabled, so even if anyone managed to steal my username and password, there would be nothing they could do in order to mess with my balance and the satoshis I kept in there.
Also, there is another thing I try to do before even typing down my credentials: Most of the web browser nowadays allow you to check on the casino web certificate and also allows us to check whether we have accessed to such web before and also how many thing we did it, so in the case somehow I entered in a fake casino webpage posing as the actual casino I like, then the browser would show me that I had never entered on it before that same day.

No gambler should live in fear of getting hacked and robbed, by the way. The idea is not to be paranoid and over react to recent hacks and other crimes, the point is to develop some healthy security habits.
Good luck, everyone.  Smiley

Exactly which casino site are you referring to? Personally, I haven't faced this kind of security feature. But don't you think it's a good thing? If you were the original owner, you should be able to answer all security questions. The casinos already have all your information in their hands. Your number, your email, your first name, your last name, your date of birth, etc., with the help of KYC. So there isn't anything to hide. If you have faced these features too frequently, then it can be considered a bad feature. As you said, OP, a session should last until the user closes the browser. That, I agree with you totally. Nobody wants to play a random quiz every 10 minutes.

There is nothing that appears as annoying as that. First, the constant logout when you just navigate through tabs is disgusting, and another thing is that it will kill one's gambling spirits because logging in almost every five minutes is time-consuming, and one might even lose interest in the game. If it happens that I need to pick a code all the time before I can authorise my login, then it will be much more annoying than I am even imagining right now.
 
Such experience alone can make me drop a negative rating for a casino, and it also appears that they might be having some security challenges, which could really be a thing of concern for others if the issue escalates more than that. If I report such an issue to the casino and nothing is to be done about it and they just treat it as some normal thing for them, then I will have to let go of the casino, as such behaviour is really what I can't endure, especially when there are other casinos out there with many gaming options.

Isn't it the other way around? It's safer that way. I mean, you are not logged on some different browsers which means they are not saving anything just anywhere. I think as long as you are not mistaking their site for another site, (phishing) then it's all safe. I don't really mind logging in every time I use a different browser or using my phone.
If you are really worried about this kind of problem then using 2FA might be a good idea, if it is a phone then use Biometrics so you can keep your account as safe as possible.
It's not just gambling sites that do this, even this forum will ask for login details every time we use another equipment or browser. I think what we should worry about is where they will keep all our details.

Remember, a legit casino will never ask your password, they're either ask your username or email address. They might ask you some personal information (if you verified your account) to make sure it was you, usually this happen when you're have no access to your account due to forgot password, email etc.

If the casino is really ask your password, you need to create a thread or complaint to their ANN.
