LONDON, ENGLAND, September 20, 2011 /24-7PressRelease/ -- With players creating around 5 million new casino and online gambling accounts each year, the public remain unaware of risks associated with insufficient licensing and regulation.
 
 The UK Gambling Commission maintains a 'whitelist' of countries which provide satisfactory regulation for online gaming licenses. If a casino does not have a license from one of these whitelisted jurisdictions then it is not allowed to advertise within the UK - but that does not prevent UK citizens from finding and joining these potentially risky sites.
 
 Over 1,100 online gaming sites operate with licenses issued by whitelisted jurisdictions. This includes licenses from locations such as Gibraltar, Malta and Alderney, all of which the UK Gambling Commission considers to have sufficient regulation for player protection.
 

Online casinos have continued to develop in sophistication, with new games being introduced every other month.

However, when it comes to actually playing the game and placing a bet, things can start to seem a little more complicated. Here is a beginner’s guide to the different bets it is possible to place on roulette so that you can play with confidence, whether at online casinos or at your local bricks and mortar.
