Ever since the first online gambling transaction took place in the early 90's, online poker rooms have greatly changed the face of the industry, with more and more people playing online poker, enjoying quality games from the privacy of their own homes.

As a result of the online poker boom, traditional pokers have experienced a drop in the number of visitors. What's more, online poker players came face to face with something that has been plagueing real brick and mortar casinos too long - issues of online security.

In the years the online poker industry was starting out, lot of players were complainig about disappearing funds, hacked accounts and other dubious activities from dodgy players and scamsters. Players were worried about the safety and the security of their money.

Come 2009 and it's all different now, as online poker sites feature advanced security measures in order to protect all of the sensitive user data. These highly efficient security measures are in fact more often stronger than the ones that can be found in real brick and mortar poker places.

Online gambling security team members cansimply recall the history of any game that's been played on the website, as the software tracks every move made by every player. This helps to ease concerns about what has been played in a poker game.
