SSL encryption is an internet protocol that encrypts the connection between your web browser and the website you are connecting to. SSL stands for Secure Sockets Layer, and it is typically used in conjunction with another protocol called TLS, which stands for Transport Layer Security.
The SSL protocol first came out in the 1990s, but due to security flaws in version 2 and version 3, TLS was released in 1999. However, today we still see websites, especially online casinos, mentioning that they use SSL encryption. What this really means is that they are using TLS certificates, which encrypt connections and fix the weaknesses that the original SSL protocol had.
You can confirm a site is using SSL/TLS by checking for:
- The padlock icon in the browser bar
- The https:// prefix in the URL
It is essential that any website where you enter crypto payment details, other payment details, or personal information uses SSL/TLS encryption. This encryption prevents data theft from hackers and cybercriminals, who often target basic http:// non-SSL websites.
All reputable online casinos use SSL/TLS certificates as a standard measure to keep players safe. For more information, please refer to our site security policy. Always look for the padlock before you play.
