Is gambling on the Internet legal?

Yes in most countries it is legal to gamble online. However it depends on the specific laws of the country you live in. To be sure that online gambling/betting is legal in your country we advice you to check with your local authorities.

Are online casinos fair and honest?

Generally, yes. Legitimate casinos don't need to have games fixed to the casinos advantage, because just like a land based casino the profit lays in the games house edge and player mistakes.
Also many betting sites advertise that their games are tested for fairness by universities and major accounting firms like PricewaterhouseCoopers.
We recommend that you stick with the big software providers, and avoid the online casinos that use proprietary gaming software. Pipbet.com only advertise and links to casinos that use games form the big software providers.

No, but we advice you to do so but if you are unable to download the software for some reason most online casinos have so called no-download games. But it is recommended that you download the games, because you will get better graphic, sound and speed with the download.

Can I try the games for free before betting real money?

Check out this page to read about banking alteratives other than Credit Cards. Once the chips are in the online casinos they stay there until you lose it or cash them out.

How do I collect my winnings?

To collect the winnings you just make a cash out, often you get the money within a couple of days, cash outs by check take longer. Some online casinos require documents to prove your identity, normally on the first cashout only.
