There are a number of individuals who do not believe online casinos are safe. 

Part of the reason for the unlicensed online casinos has to do with the gambling laws.  Some countries just do not want to have online casinos available to their residents.

A number of UK online casinos are working to improve their security.  They work with a British online security firm which helps to verify identifications and all safety protocols.  This new online security company will restrict underage gambling by not allowing anyone through without a valid verification.
