Personal Security_v2

By Carl Mazzanti, president of eMazzanti Technologies in Hoboken

There is a continuing increase in data breaches for small businesses, and owners need to secure their business and personal accounts from hackers. This threat is aggravated by how cybercriminals often use LinkedIn and other social media profiles as a gateway into a company, where they can gain illicit access to megabytes of sensitive data.

A few years back, Mark Zuckerberg learned this lesson the hard way. A reported LinkedIn hack led to the exposure of additional accounts belonging to the Facebook (Meta) CEO. Despite his presumed savvy — he is the world’s #1 social media magnate — Zuckerberg reportedly committed multiple fatal errors, including using an easy-to-crack password (dadada) on multiple accounts.

Dangerous Shortcuts

Elementary no-nos include using common words and the same password for more than one account. But other common mistakes are often made by otherwise knowledgeable users who do not want to memorize lengthy sign-in codes. For example, NSA, the FBI, and other security agencies have noted that the Russian General Staff Main Intelligence Directorate’s Russian (GRU’s) Main Center for Special Technologies has released malware targeting Americans and other users. So repeating passwords is even more dangerous now that hackers are more sophisticated.

The good news is that securing accounts is not difficult. One simple measure is multi-factor authentication (MFA), which requires at least two independent factors to log into an account. One factor may be a password, and the second could be a one-time passcode sent to the user’s phone. This way, the account will still be safe even if one factor is stolen.

Another solution is to increase the length of the initial password or PIN (Personal Identification Number). 7777 is one of the most common — and therefore easily guessed PINs. However, many devices now support PINs that are longer than four digits, and just by adding a few more numbers, there is a big difference because of the math involved. For example, a four-digit PIN has only 10,000 unique combinations, but a six-digit PIN has 1,000,000.

Some devices support alphanumeric PINs or passwords that make it even harder for hackers. Users can make the process simpler by utilizing words or phrases that are meaningful to them but not generally known to others; therefore, easily cracked combinations like birthdays, anniversaries, personal phone numbers, and street addresses should be avoided.

Like numeric PINs, longer passwords are better. Consider an eight-character password like betashow — an attacker with access to sophisticated software tools could crack this password instantly. But if four characters are added, perhaps making it betashowbest, it would take a hacker about two weeks (maybe less) to guess this 12-character password. However, when adding eight more characters like betashowbestshipping, it will take about 21 centuries for an attacker to crack this 20-letter password. That is a big return for a small effort.

Creative passphrases — longer passwords composed of multiple random words — can also slow down hackers. There are simple ways of making passwords longer, like “swiftest tropical downhill ski,” “walking on oranges,” or “BrieflyMoreDiamond.” Of course, these specific phrases should not be used since they have now appeared in a widely distributed publication. Although passphrases are harder to crack, they do not have to be hard to remember since a user may create pictures in their mind as a reminder, like “blue nose on a purple brick wall.”

Combinations can be created from diverse situations. Like when you have a noisy coworker, that situation could give rise to a passphrase like, “I can hear Bill from across the office!” It is fine to use words or phrases that jog a personal memory, but words that are related to each other, like the passphrase “gentle ocean breeze,” should be avoided because they are guessed easily. Instead, a stronger yet memorable phrase might be “laptop blueberry car.”

Set Down Some Rules

Creating passwords and passphrases is only part of a solution since it is also important to know and follow an organization’s policy when creating them. A company, for example, may require a minimum character account, a mix of alpha and numeric characters, or special characters. These security requirements may make it a bit more difficult for a user, but they will also make it tougher on hackers.

With all these requirements, some people may fear that they will be unable to remember a unique password for every device: a laptop, desktop, iPad, mobile device, business laptop, and more. But there is a solution: utilizing a password manager — a software application that securely stores and manages online credentials. It sits behind a master password — so there is only one password to remember — and the manager automatically generates new passwords every time the user logs into a device.

A password manager is like a secured vault: once all of the account usernames and passwords are in the vault, the master password is the only one that needs to be committed to memory. Entering this master password unlocks the password vault and from there, the user can retrieve whatever password they need.

The security of developing a password or passphrase will be defeated, however, if a user writes them down. A hiding place may appear to be good, but experience has shown that there is a good chance someone will find the password, master password, or PIN. Similarly, passwords, PINs, and other login information should not be stored on the device itself, even if it is encrypted. And a user who sends their PIN or passwords to themselves through email or text is inviting trouble.

Another best practice is to never share a password or PIN because one can never be certain that someone else will keep their credentials secure. If a user has previously shared their password or PIN, they should change it as soon as possible.

Finally, “shoulder surfing” — when a cyber-thief watches someone enter a password or PIN so they can lift it — is also a big concern. Users should be vigilant and aware of their surroundings before entering passwords, master passwords, passphrases, or PINs.

These and other security measures take time and effort to develop and deploy, but digital data can be worth its weight in gold. With more threats developing every day, it is only reasonable to take more precautions to safeguard this treasure.

 

 

Summertime, the season for heightened cybersecurity

Summertime, the season for heightened cybersecurity

by Carl Mazzanti, president of eMazzanti Technologies in Hoboken

The official start of summer is kicking off, along with the usual seasonal rites like baseball, barbecues, and vacations. Summer is traditionally a time for kicking back and relaxing, which is good for the soul — but unfortunately, it is also a time when people tend to relax their security awareness.

 

Bad actors use bots and other automated software to scour social media, emails, and other “leakage points,” letting them know when business owners and others are going on vacation; hence when they are likely to let their guard down. They also know that many people neglect to check their bank accounts and other sensitive files because they are trying to get away from the daily grind. Or, even if someone becomes aware of a successful hack, they may delay addressing it because they a) do not want to deal with an unpleasant issue while on vacation, or b) may believe that they do not have the resources to deal with it while they are away.

 

Whatever the excuse, ignoring a security issue is the wrong approach. Delaying a response can lead to a variety of challenges, including ransomware attempts (threats to expose important or embarrassing information unless funds – typically cryptocurrency – are paid to the cybercriminal), identity theft, or theft of funds (draining or otherwise diverting bank accounts). While an initial security intrusion may be brief, the aftereffects may haunt the victim for a long time.

 

Fortunately, beefing up your personal and business defenses does not mean giving up that trip to the Shore, to Europe, or any other destination. Instead, the process of securing your data may be as simple as taking some commonsense steps. 

 

The first is simply checking for any software updates before you leave. This is important because Windows and other updates often include critical security patches or upgrades. Updates may also include new or enhanced features and enhanced compatibility with different devices or applications, and they may also improve the stability of your software while removing outdated features.

 

Another action — remember, Cyber Security is a layered approach — is to review and refresh your email and other passwords. Are you using the same password for multiple accounts? That is an open invitation for cyber-safecrackers. If they figure out one password (say for your email), they’ve now got the digital keys to your bank and other accounts. So take a few minutes to exercise your brain and develop unique passwords for each account. If it is too much trouble to remember them all, consider using a reputable “password manager,” or a software application that is designed to store and manage online credentials and generate passwords that are typically stored in an encrypted database, which is locked behind a master password.

 

There are a few more relatively painless steps to consider. One is to subscribe to an identity monitoring service while you’re on vacation. This way, even if you let your guard down, the service will automatically scan for unusual activity that involves your credentials — and good service will take steps to nullify the bad activity in addition to alerting you. Also, you may wish to temporarily “freeze” your bank account, so funds cannot be withdrawn. But be aware that this may also put a hold on any checks or auto-pays to legitimate vendors, utilities, or other parties.

 

If you don’t already run a security scan regularly, consider doing so (or having your professional provider do so) before you leave on vacation. Just as you would see a doctor before traveling to another country — for a health checkup and to ensure you’re up to date on immunizations — you want to be sure your cyber-defenses are up to date before you leave as well.

 

Finally, think about that lightweight communications tool — an iPhone, Android, or other mobile devices — that you carry wherever you go. It may not be as convenient or as powerful as a laptop for surfing the Web and checking your accounts, but it can still do a pretty good job while you’re traveling or relaxing. Bad actors never give up, so you should never let your guard down. If you do, you may be receiving an unpleasant “gift” that keeps on giving.

 

 

Some Want To “Save” Social Security By Abolishing It

Some Want To “Save” Social Security By Abolishing It

Dear Editor:

Perhaps my personal favorite of today’s growing number of radical-right-wing conservative-Republican “Greatest Hits” of operating out of what Paul Krugman calls “Bad Faith” and what Jane Mayer calls using “Stealth Tactics” is how they try to deceive, mislead, and fool the public into believing that they want to “Save” and “Reform” Social Security.

In reality, many of them want to cut/reduce the benefits and eventually to abolish it entirely even though 63% of Republican voters do not want the benefits to be reduced.

Just one example of this is a former Speaker of the House who often said that he wanted to “save” and “reform” Social Security, yet right at his own website you would discover that he tried on several occasions to have the benefits cut/reduced. So, their way of “saving” Social Security is to totally abolish it.

That is slick and sneaky.

You really have to be a step ahead of these stealthy people.

North Bergen PD partners with ‘Ring’ home security cameras

North Bergen PD partners with ‘Ring’ home security cameras

The North Bergen Police Department has officially announced its partnership with Ring, an Amazon subsidiary that manufactures home security cameras, and connects them through its neighborhood watch smartphone app.

The partnership between the department and the company entails a promotion, in which discounted Ring products are available to residents. The company will provide North Bergen residents with $100 discount codes on more than a dozen Ring products until Sept. 19.

Ring Video Doorbells and security devices connect to a user’s smartphone or tablet via the Ring app. The users are notified if a motion sensor is activated or if someone rings the doorbell. Users can also view the camera’s live video feed at any time.

Users can post video footage on the Neighbors App, which acts as a private, digital neighborhood watch. Videos posted there can be publicly viewed by those who live nearby on Neighbors. The customer-funded network of cameras can also be used by police to detect and apprehend criminals.

“North Bergen has been ranked as the safest city in Hudson County and one of the safest in the country by independent studies, but that doesn’t mean we are going to stop working to make sure every single resident can feel safe in our community,” Mayor Nicholas Sacco said. “This exciting partnership with Ring is one of the many ways NBPD is using new technology to make North Bergen safer, and I’m glad that the Nicholas J. Sacco Foundation [a nonprofit run by Sacco] can assist in funding the program. I would like to thank Public Safety Commissioner Allen Pascual, Chief Robert Dowd, and his team for always keeping our police department on the cutting edge of public safety.”

NBPD Chief Robert Dowd is on board with the Ring partnership, and said that other chiefs he’s spoken to will likely pursue Ring partnerships for their own departments.

“We’re the first department in Hudson County to have that partnership,” Dowd said. “I spoke with some of my fellow colleagues and chiefs, and they’re pursuing Ring doorbells, also. Ring is a fantastic partner. So far, we’ve given 60 Ring Doorbells away at a discount. The discount is funded by Ring, the North Bergen PBA, and the Nicholas J. Sacco Foundation.”

Ring security cameras allow users personal surveillance of their properties at any time from a smartphone.

Potential break-ins, thefts, or other crimes that occur on the property can be recorded and used in police investigations. The company reports that two neighborhoods in Newark saw a more than 50 percent decrease in home break-ins over a two-month period after Ring devices were installed in 11 percent of homes.

Police can issue alerts to Neighbors users and request information directly through the app. Ring also uses computer-assisted dispatch services to provide crime alerts to Neighbors users.

Residents can apply with their shipping addresses on applications that can be found on the township’s website. Ring will provide discount codes to eligible residents via email once daily, Monday-Friday, at 3 p.m. Those promotional codes can be redeemed via checkout at Ring.com.

But … 

Questions about privacy and information security swirl around the use of Ring devices.

Any device that records or monitors people in their homes and transmits that data to cloud storage has been under heavy scrutiny by those concerned about privacy.

It’s become commonplace for scores of internet-connected devices, including Smart TVs, Apple’s Siri, and FitBit, which monitor sound and video, to transmit user data to manufacturers.

Reports confirm that all the footage captured on every device is being stored in an Amazon-run data cloud.

There’s no law barring the company from allowing employees to access live video feeds, but the company states that security measures are in place to prevent it from happening. Some reports beg to differ.

According to a 2016 report from The Intercept, sources claim Ring provided a Ukraine-based research and development team and a number of executives with “unfettered access” to the entire video stock, in order to improve Amazon’s artificial intelligence.

Ring objected to The Intercept’s characterization, stating that they view and annotate certain Ring recordings that are publicly shared or given through written consent.

“Ring employees do not have access to livestreams from Ring products,” the company said. “We hold our team members to a high ethical standard, and anyone in violation of our policies faces discipline, including potential legal and criminal penalties.”

What kind of access does law enforcement have?

Chief Dowd said that the department has been active on social media, and that broadening communication between police and residents via Ring and Neighbors is worth pursuing.

“We’re always trying to magnify our community policing, and that’s all about getting our message out to people,” he said.

Law enforcement will not be able to stream footage of people’s front porches with their Ring devices the same way that they would be able to view a CCTV camera in a public place.

In most instances, officers can request Ring footage from residents for an investigation. Without a warrant, residents could provide footage to police departments at their own discretion.

If law enforcement personnel deliver a subpoena or search warrant to the company, Ring would have to provide a user’s footage. It’s unclear if Ring notifies users that their information has been give to police in response to a court order.

The law enforcement guidelines say that “generally, Ring will not release user information to law enforcement except in response to valid legal process directed and addressed to Ring. Ring will object to legal process it determines is overbroad, inappropriate, and/or that does not provide Ring with sufficient information to locate responsive records.”

The guidelines further state, “Ring distinguishes between content and non-content information. We may produce non-content information in response to a valid subpoena, court order, or search warrant. We do not produce content information in response to subpoenas or court orders. Content information will only be disclosed in response to a valid search warrant or with the verified consent of the account owner.”

Non-content information includes information that can identify a user, such as name, address, email, billing information, date of account creation, and other types of account information.

Content information is the actual camera footage.

Ring reserves the right to allow law enforcement personnel immediate access to footage in the rare instance that police could prevent imminent harm.

If law enforcement officers request information with “EMERGENCY” in the subject line of an email, Ring reserves the right to hand over that information. Law enforcement personnel would have to explain “the nature of the emergency, the information sought, and how the disclosure of information” will prevent imminent harm.

Best Ethereum Casinos in 2023: Top 10 ETH Gambling Sites with Quick Payouts & Big Bonuses

Most crypto casinos right now will accept your ETH deposit, but which are the truly best Ethereum casino sites among them?

That’s what we’ve been trying to figure out the last couple of weeks that we spent testing the top Ethereum gambling sites that players seem to love – and the results are finally in.

BitStarz turned out to be the best Ethereum casino for our money, but we listed as many as 10 options for you to explore.

Let’s dive in and review them together, shall we?

Best Ethereum Casinos

1. BitStarz — Best Ethereum Casino Overall

bitstarz casino

Pros:

  • Over 4,600 games
  • 125% match bonus up to 5 ETH and 180 free spins
  • Fast payouts within 10 minutes
  • Award-winning customer support
  • Exclusive games
  • Over 100 jackpot slots

Cons:

  • Live casino games are not available in every country

BitStarz is our top pick for the best Ethereum casino because it has a superior offering of fantastic casino games, fast payouts, superb mobile capabilities, and outstanding bonuses and rewards.

Game Selection: 5/5

With just over 4600 casino games on offer, the BitStarz game selection is hard to beat. They have thousands of high-quality games that feature some of the biggest name titles the internet has to offer.

They offer excellent online slots with a few big progressive jackpot slots. Some of the most popular titles to explore in this category are Master of Starz and Dragon Kings.

There are also amazing table games with many different variations of popular games, such as blackjack, baccarat, and roulette.

Bitstarz’s live dealer casino is also amazing, with excellent casino hosts that are the epitome of professionalism – though keep in mind that these games are not available in every country.

Bonuses & Rewards: 4.9/5 

BitStarz offers a generous welcome bonus worth 125% up to 5 ETH plus an additional 180 free spins. This bonus extends to your following three deposits, allowing you to claim up to 25 ETH in total. If you’re okay with depositing Bitcoin, you can claim up to 5 BTC instead.

They also have excellent ongoing promotions for their existing players to enjoy, including Slot Wars and Table Wars tournaments with cash prizes and free spins, as well as a giveaway where players stand a chance to win a Tesla.

Mobile Compatibility: 4.9/5

The BitStarz mobile casino app is exceptionally well designed with a slick look and feel and superb navigation. The built-in browser app has excellent responsiveness, and the intuitive display adapts to all screen sizes, so you are good to go on both phones and tablets.

We especially love that nearly all of the games from desktops are available on mobile, which is impressive when you consider how many games the platform hosts.

Banking: 5/5

BitStarz has an excellent suite of crypto banking options. Obviously, it accepts Ethereum, but that’s not all. You can also manage your bankroll via Bitcoin, Cardano, Bitcoin Cash, Tether, Ripple, and a few more cryptocurrencies.

The maximum per-transaction withdrawal is the equivalent of 10 BTC, and payout times range from 6 to 12 minutes on average. Notably, all payouts are fee-free.

Misc: 4.9/5

BitStarz remains one of the most popular online casinos and our top pick for the best Ethereum online casino because it really pays attention when it comes to the needs and wants of its players.

They also have the best customer support department of all the Ethereum online casinos. Their support staff is exceptionally well-trained, very professional, and extremely knowledgeable. In fact, they’ve won an industry award for being the “Best Customer Support” – and over 2,000 reviews are in place to prove that true.

You can get in touch via email, live chat, and social media.

2. Ignition Casino — Best Ethereum Casino for Jackpot Slots

ignition casino

Pros:

  • Over 250 high-quality games
  • 30+ progressive jackpot slots
  • Poker room with tournaments and cash games
  • Over 35 live games
  • 300% up to $3,000 crypto casino bonus

Cons:

  • Smaller selection of classic slots

Ignition Casino packs an incredible punch with its jackpots and poker room. It has a sensational lineup of Hot Drop jackpot slots and a renowned poker section that is suitable for both seasoned and new players alike.

Game Selection: 4.7/5

With just over 250 games, Ignition Casino is considerably smaller than some of the other Ethereum casinos on this list, but the quality of their games is fantastic. They offer a decent selection of online slots that feature a few impressive Hot Drop jackpots.

What’s a Hot-Drop jackpot, you may wonder? That’s an additional jackpot attached to regular slot games, which can trigger randomly on any spin, regardless of your stake size. In the case of Ignition, there are 10 slots with a hot drop attached to them.

Therefore, by playing American Jet Set, 777 Deluxe, A Night With Cleo, or any of the other eligible games, you will stand a chance of winning an hourly (average $1,000), daily (average $25,000), or a super-jackpot that must drop before reaching $300,000.

On top of that, there are over 35 live table games with stakes starting at $1 and peaking at $10,000, as well as an entire poker room with daily tournaments and high-traffic cash games.

Bonuses & Rewards: 4.9/5

Ignition Casino has always been generous with its bonuses. They offer an excellent 300% crypto welcome bonus of up to $3000 split between their online casino and poker section.

The wagering requirement for the casino part of the bonus is 25x, which is way below the industry average.

They also offer a few ongoing promotions for existing players, including a refer-a-friend promotion, Weekly Boost, and their infamous Ignition VIP Rewards program.

Mobile Compatibility: 4.7/5

Ignition Casino has a decent poker app, which you can download and get straight to the tables. To play casino games, you can open Ignition via your browser and enjoy some instant-play action – Ignition’s website is fully compatible with all smartphones and tablets.

Banking: 4.5/5

Some of the cryptocurrencies you can use at Ignition are Ethereum, Bitcoin, Litecoin, and Tether. While the minimum deposit is $20 across most methods, Ethereum deposits are a bit higher at $50.

Most crypto payouts are processed within 1 to 24 hours, and you can also use credit cards or MatchPay to deposit and play here.

Misc: 5/5

Ignition Casino may be a smaller ETH online casino, but it offers the best poker experience of all the Ethereum casinos on this list. The overall impression of Ignition Casino is one of easy online gambling peppered with superior features that makes it a superb platform to play on.

They also have a decent customer support department, and their agents are on hand 24 hours a day to answer any questions you may have. You can contact their support team via live chat and email – or make use of the public forum on-site.

3. Super Slots — Best Ethereum Casino Bonuses

superslots casino

Pros:

  • 400% crypto bonus up to $4,000
  • Amazing selection of over 400 games
  • Great variety of jackpot slot games
  • Accepts 18 different cryptocurrencies
  • Over 10 bonuses for regular players

Cons:

  • Fewer games on mobile
  • Not enough game-filtering options

Super Slots is an exciting online Ethereum casino that offers a kick-ass crypto welcome offer. They also have a fantastic selection of progressive jackpot slots that feature some of the most generous jackpots the internet has to offer.

Game Selection: 4.6/5 

Super Slots has an impressive lineup of over 470 games, including some of the most generous progressive jackpot slots. Some of the names to look out for include Charms & Clovers ($70,000 jackpot), Pompeii ($60,000 jackpot), and Dragon Kings ($100,000).

To find these games, however, you will need to either search them by name or scroll through the entire slots selection – there’s no dedicated “Jackpot” tab available.

Super Slots’ table game selection is also very impressive, and we love the different variations of blackjack and roulette games.

They also have a stupendous live dealer casino with hosts that are a little more informal than usual, which we enjoy. You can explore over 30 live games here, evenly split between Casino Red and Casino Black, and high-rollers will love the high betting limits of up to $20,000.

Bonuses & Rewards: 4.9/5 

Super Slots offers a fantastic crypto welcome bonus worth 400% up to $4,000 if you use the code CRYPTO400. The wagering requirements are a bit higher, but that’s only to be expected for a bonus of this magnitude.

They also offer some fantastic ongoing promotions to keep things exciting, including a 10% Weekly Rebate, $35,000 in Daily Prizes, weekly free spins, special day-of-the-week promotions, and more. Check out their website for the full list of their amazing ongoing promotions.

Mobile Compatibility: 4.5/5

We absolutely love the Super Slots instant-play app. It is exceptionally well designed with a clean, uncluttered look and feel. The browser works perfectly on Android and iOS devices, and most of the games from the desktop version are available.

Banking: 4.7/5 

Bitcoin and Ethereum are the most popular banking methods at Super Slots Casino, but they do offer a whole host of other options. You can also use Apecoin, Binance, Avalanche, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV, Cardano, Chainlink, Dogecoin, Litecoin, Polygon, Ripple, and more.

There are no fees attached to any of the transactions, and they have reasonable minimum and maximum deposits. You can also expect your payout to arrive within 2 days, and the maximum you can withdraw in one go is $100,000 in crypto equivalent.

Misc: 4.8/5 

Super Slots remains one of our all-time favorite Ethereum and Bitcoin gambling sites because of its superior selection of games, banking options, and mobile functionality. But we are mainly all about the bonuses and rewards at Super Slots.

They have a decent customer support department that is efficient as well as knowledgeable and professional. You do have to be signed into your account to use the live chat feature, which is a little annoying. You can contact their support team via email as well.

4. Flush Casino — Top ETH Online Casino for Live Dealer Games

flush casino

Pros:

  • Massive selection of live dealer games
  • Over 4,000 slot games
  • Excellent mobile functionality
  • Great software providers
  • Up to 150% match bonus

Cons:

  • Weaker welcome bonus
  • Relatively new online casino

Flush Casino is a brand-new online casino that burst onto the scene in 2022. Since its inception, it has been winning over fans for its simplistic video game-like online casino that offers some of the best live dealer casino action among all Ethereum casinos.

Game Selection: 5/5 

The game selection at Flush Casino is deeply impressive. It isn’t only that they have over 4000 games on offer, it is also the quality of the gameplay on offer that is astounding.

They offer excellent traditional online slots along with a few progressive jackpot slots that touch well beyond the $100,000 mark. Flush Casino also has excellent table games, and you will find every variation of poker, blackjack, and roulette available on the platform.

But where Flush Casino gets super interesting is with their live dealer casino, offering incredible live dealer games. You can explore everything from live blackjack and roulette to rare game shows and even some dice games.

Bonuses & Rewards: 4.3/5 

Flush Casino does have a welcome bonus, but it’s only when you log in and try to make a deposit when they ask whether you want a bonus or not – it’s not visible on the promotions page.

If you deposit between $10 and $200 in ETH equivalent, you will get a 100% match bonus tacked onto your deposit. If you deposit between $200 and $1,000, you will get a stronger 150% match bonus.

It’s a decent incentive to get you started, but it can’t compete with our better-ranked online Ethereum casinos.

That being said, there are plenty of seasonal promotions to explore at Flush Casino, all of which have great cash prize pools. However, these tend to change throughout the week.

Mobile Compatibility: 4.7/5 

Flush Casino has a mobile-adapted browser app that features superb responsiveness and navigation. It’s compatible with both iOS and Android devices, and all you need is a mobile device and a stable internet connection to start playing games.

Banking: 4.7/5

Flush Casino is a crypto-exclusive online casino, and besides Ethereum, you can also use Bitcoin, Dogecoin, and Litecoin to make a deposit here. There are no banking fees across any of the transactions, and you can expect your funds within the hour.

Flush Casino also has a very high banking safety and security rating, so you know your money is in safe hands. The cashier is also very easy to use, with step-by-step prompts directing you along every step of the way.

Misc: 4.8/5

Flush Casino may be a brand-new online casino, but its offering is super sharp. They have an amazing selection of fantastic games as well as a superior live dealer casino that is impressive.

When you need help with anything, there’s a decent customer support department too. It is always helpful when the agents are quick to respond and understand what is being asked of them.

You can contact the Flush Casino customer support department via live chat and email in one of six languages.

5. Bovada — Best Ethereum Casino for Betting

bovada casino

Pros:

  • Over 300 popular casino games
  • Offers a sportsbook with over 30 sports
  • Excellent mobile casino
  • Crypto withdrawals are processed fast
  • Great variety of live dealer games and jackpots

Cons:

  • Some crypto rewards are exclusively Bitcoin

Bovada is one of the best Ethereum casinos and is consistently rated as the world’s #1 sportsbook. They offer a slick overall online gambling experience and some fantastic Ethereum casino bonuses.

Game Selection: 4.5/5 

Bovada has been delighting fans with its exceptional online casino games since 2011. They have a small but decent selection of fantastic online slots that includes a few generous progressive jackpot slots.

Their table games selection is a little too small, in our opinion, but there is a decent variety of high-quality games.

There are over 30 live games to explore, but Bovada is mainly known for its sportsbook and horse racing. If you like to place some sports bets occasionally, you will find over 30 betting categories at Bovada that generate over 30,000 daily betting markets.

The betting odds are pretty great, there’s a helpful bet-builder, as well as an early cash-out feature. Everything a sports bettor needs.

Bonuses & Rewards: 4.4/5

Bovada likes to welcome its new players with enticing bonuses and rewards. Currently, they offer a crypto welcome package of up to $3,750. This is a three-tiered package, with a 125% bonus up to $1,250 across three deposits.

The first deposit bonus comes with 25x wagering requirements, but keep in mind that the WR gets higher after that.

They also offer a few ongoing promotions, including a $750 sports welcome bonus and a great $275 refer-a-friend bonus, as well as their amazing Bovada Rewards program.

Mobile Compatibility: 4.7/5

Bovada has a sports betting app and a poker app, but if you are looking to play online casino games, then you will have to make do with the mobile-adapted browser.

The apps are easy to navigate with excellent responsiveness and user-friendliness.

The browser is uncluttered and offers a slick mobile gambling experience. In fact, the browser may be the best mobile-adapted browser we have come across in any of the Ethereum casino reviews we have done.

Banking: 4.5/5

Of all the Ethereum casino sites, Bovada has the easiest banking options in terms of site usability.

They also have a decent selection of banking options, including credit and debit cards, as well as Bitcoin, Bitcoin Cash, Bitcoin SV, Litecin, Ethereum, Player Transfer, Direct Bank Transfer, and MatchPay.

Like other Ethereum casino sites, Bovada’s crypto transactions are completely free of all fees, and you can expect your cash within 1 to 24 hours. Bovada is also an incredibly secure online casino with military-grade encryption and an excellent banking safety and security rating.

Misc: 4.6/5

Of all the Ethereum gambling sites, Bovada has the best sportsbook and horse racing odds. They also have a decent selection of fantastic games as well as superior mobile functionality and great banking options.

How Do We Rank the Best Online Ethereum Casinos?

Game Selection:

Finding an online casino with enough games to ensure players do not become bored is essential. It is also important to pay attention to the quality of the games on offer, as some ETH online casinos tend to stuff low-quality games onto their platforms.

Bonuses and Rewards:

Bonuses and rewards are an online casino’s way of welcoming new players and building customer loyalty. There is a lot of competition among online casinos, so offering excellent bonuses and rewards is one way to outride the competition.

Mobile Compatibility:

We are an ever-on-the-go society that is relying more and more on our mobile phones for our online gambling pleasure. Having an Ethereum gambling app is ideal, but in the absence of an app, a decent mobile-adapted browser is an absolute must.

Banking:

Having a decent selection of banking options for your player’s convenience is essential. It is also a good idea to find an online casino that offers fair fees and excellent payout times. There is nothing worse than having to wait extended periods of time for your winnings.

Why is BitStarz the Best Ethereum Online Casino?

We’ve covered the top 5 Ethereum gambling sites in this article, and they are all amazing options – but what exactly makes Bitstarz the #1 choice overall? Let’s see.

  • Game Selection: Bitstarz has over 4,600 games under its name, ranging from classic and progressive jackpot slots to table games, live dealers, and provably fair titles like Plinko and Space XY. There’s virtually nothing you can’t bet on at Bitstarz.
  • Welcome Package: You stand to claim up to 25 ETH in bonus funds with your first four deposits at Bitstarz, with 180 free spins on top. Your first deposit will be matched by 125% up to 5 ETH – and this is the biggest bonus on our list.
  • Fast Payouts: Bitstarz is as close as it gets to instant payouts, with most crypto withdrawals processed within 8 minutes on average. No Ethereum online casino can compete with this.

Why Should I Play ETH Casino Games?

Ethereum gambling is just like traditional online gambling with a few added perks – namely in the banking department. Ethereum transactions are usually free of all fees, and they have much faster payout times of between 15 minutes and 24 hours (8 minutes in the case of Bitstarz).

Very rarely will you find an online casino offering Ethereum payout times that exceed 24 hours. As a plus, you will always remain anonymous when gambling with Ethereum, and you will get to explore exclusive crypto casino games that are otherwise impossible to play with cash.

1. Caesars – Best PA Sports Betting Site Overall

caesars CASINO

Pros:

  • $1,000 welcome bonus
  • Exclusive Caesars Rewards program
  • $100 referral bonus
  • Daily odds boosters
  • Same game parlays
  • Wide range of props bets
  • Phone support is available

Cons:

  • Low daily deposit limits

The slick and sophisticated Caesars is available in Pennsylvania.

There’s a $1,000 welcome bonus available for new players, competitive odds, and all the top sports are covered superbly.

Thanks to daily odds boosts and an exclusive rewards program, Caesars comfortably ranks as our number one pick.

Betting odds: 5/5

Caesars’ odds are already competitive, but there are regular odds boosters available in the top sports like the MLB and the NBA.

Sometimes these odds boosters are available on the spread or the moneyline, but sometimes they’re available on pre-selected parlays, too.

Using an MLB game as an example, Caesars might offer enhanced odds on the Cubs to win and Cody Bellinger HR on 5/10.

Other than that, you’ll always be able to pick up stellar odds on the spread, the moneyline, and game totals, with Caesars offering value-driven betting lines all year long.

Betting Markets: 5/5

Caesars leaves no stone unturned when it comes to what you can bet on.

Using an average NBA game as an example, you can bet on the spread, the moneyline, and the over/under total points, as well as a vast range of props bets.

These include player points, player rebounds, winning margin, and more.

Same game parlays are available on all the major sports and there’s also a huge selection of futures bets for you to choose from.

Overall, there are 18+ sports to choose from, including college sports and worldwide sports like soccer and tennis.

Bonuses and Promotions: 4.8/5

As a new player at Caesars, you can opt-in to a $1,000 welcome bonus, which is a 100% matched deposit offer.

You can then link your sportsbook account to Caesars Rewards for the chance to rack up loyalty points that can be used at 40+ Caesars Rewards across the states.

Regular offers, meanwhile, include a 25% profit boost that can be used on any sports betting market, as well as a $100 referral bonus whenever you refer a buddy to the site.

Payment Methods: 4.9/5

Caesars supports multiple banking options, including PayNearMe, Discover, VISA, MasterCard, PayPal, and eCheck.

The minimum deposit is set at a reasonable $20 (but it could be lower), and you’re limited to $500 worth of deposits over 24 hours, which we feel is a bit low.

Daily withdrawals are capped at $5,000.

2. BetMGM – Best Pennsylvania Sports Betting Site for Mobile Bettors

betmgm casino pennsylvania

Pros:

  • $1,000 first bet offer
  • Top-tier iOS and Android app
  • $50 referral bonus
  • Live streaming is available
  • One game parlays
  • Edit your bet feature

Cons:

  • No reload bonus

BetMGM opened its doors to Pennsylvania bettors in December 2020 through the launch of its online casino.

Since then, this site has built up its reputation to PA bettors. It’s an official partner of the Pittsburgh Steelers, works superbly on mobile devices and PCs, and offers a streamlined online sports betting experience that comes with early betting lines and great odds.

Sports Betting Odds: 4.8/5

BetMGM releases their exciting odds early, giving you a chance to assess your options well in advance of a sporting event starting.

What’s more, you can take advantage of early market prices or bide your time and wait for the line to shift as the event draws nearer.

Odds are available for a wide range of sports, including all the major ones like the NBA, the NFL, the MLB, college sports betting, soccer, and tennis, and you can bet live and in play.

Betting Markets: 4.6/5

BetMGM covers all the bases when it comes to the betting markets that are available on all the top sports.

As well as betting on the spread, the totals, and the moneyline, you can also bet on alternative lines and a range of props.

So-called signature bets are available at BetMGM, too.

Using an NBA game as an example, these include which player you think will have the first shot attempt and the time of the first point.

Essentially, BetMGM is ideal for those who prefer to get more creative with their bets.

Bonuses and Promotions: 4/5

BetMGM’s current welcome offer is a $1,000 first bet offer. With this promo, you can get up to $1,000 back in bonus bets if your first wager here isn’t a winner.

You can then bag yourself another $50 each time you successfully refer a friend to the site.

Other offers include a “cashback grind.” Essentially, this is BetMGM’s rewards system. Each time you bet, you’ll rack up points, which will all land in your account by the end of the week.

Related Post: Best NY Sports Betting Sites

Deposit Options: 4/5

Payment methods at BetMGM include bank transfer, VISA and MasterCard, prepaid cards, Skrill, and PayPal.

If you’re near a land-based casino, you can also make a deposit at the casino cage.

The minimum deposit is $10, and BetMGM is pretty flexible with the maximum deposit. However, you can set your own daily, weekly, and monthly deposit limits if you wish.

3. PointsBet – Best PA Sports Betting Site for Points Betting

pointsbet casino

Pros:

  • 5 $50 bonus bets welcome offer
  • Unique take on points betting
  • Pick your own spread
  • Live streaming feature
  • No maximum withdrawal limit
  • Teaser bets allowed

Cons:

  • Limited payment methods

PointsBet lets you bet on fixed odds, but it also offers a unique take on betting on the spread that allows you to either turbocharge your profits or lose more than you would have done had you stuck to fixed odds.

It’s risky, it’s exciting, and it slots into third place on our list.

Sports Betting Odds: 4.5/5

The real value of signing up at PointsBet lies in its unique betting system that enables you to increase your profits if your points bet wins by a large number of points.

If, on the other hand, your points bet loses by a significant number of points, your losses will rack up.

With all that in mind, you can still bet on fixed odds markets at PointsBet, and we found that they set their spread ultra competitively.

Their moneyline markets sometimes come with reduced juice, too, but there are no alternative lines available. To make up for this, you have the option of turning your bet into a teaser.

Betting Markets: 4.5/5

As mentioned, you can either place a fixed odds bet or a points bet at PointsBet.

Switching between the two is super simple, although it will take a bit of time for beginners to get used to the idea of betting on points.

Same game parlays are available for American sports like the NHL, as are a wide variety of prop betting options.

You also have the freedom to pick your own spread and your own total here, which makes PointsBet an incredibly flexible sports betting site.

Bonuses and Promotions: 4.5/5

As a new customer in Pennsylvania, you can get 5 bonus bets each worth $50, up to $250 total, if your first fixed odds cash bet of the day loses.

Then, you can rack up rewards points anytime you place a wager here. The amount of points you earn depends on your stake, as well as the type of bet (such as a single bet or a teaser).

Partial cash out is a new feature that’s available on specific markets, and it gives you a chance to either mitigate your losses or lock in a guaranteed profit before the outcome of your bet is decided.

Deposit Options: 4.4/5

PointsBet accepts debit and credit cards, Trustly, e-Check, and PayNearMe as deposit methods.

Deposit limits vary according to the payment method, but PayNearMe has a tight $500 daily limit.

On the plus side, there is no maximum withdrawal here, which means you’re essentially free to withdraw as little or as much as you want each day.

Betting Odds: 4.3/5

From NBA odds to NFL odds to soccer odds, tennis odds, and more, FanDuel offers value across the board to sports bettors of all kinds.

You can take the spread, the moneyline, and the totals at great prices, with FanDuel setting their own betting lines.

Odds boosts are available on the daily for even greater payouts, too.

Betting Markets: 4.5/5

At FanDuel, you can bet on the spread, the moneyline, and the totals (over/under). Alternative handicaps aren’t always available, but there are exclusive “Only on Duel” markets up for grabs.

Using the NBA as an example, you can bet on both teams to score in the first minute, as well as which team you think will record the largest comeback over the course of a game.

A useful Parlay Builder tool, meanwhile, makes it easy to build a series of props bets from scratch.

Bonuses and Promotions: 4.3/5

As a new player, you can opt-in to the FanDuel welcome bonus, which is a $2,000 “Play it Again” offer. This is the biggest offer around at the moment for Pennsylvania bettors, and it doesn’t require a promo code.

However, keep in mind that this is for the site’s casino section. For sports bettors, you can get $150 in bonus bets by depositing at least $10 and placing a $5 bet.

Regular promos at FanDuel tend to be seasonal and center around key sporting events, such as the NBA playoffs and the Super Bowl.

For example, during the NBA Playoffs, you’ll be offered a refund on any parlay you place where just one leg lets you down.

The referral bonus, however, is available all year long.

Deposit Options: 4.4/5

As well as accepting credit and debit cards, FanDuel also accepts PayNearMe, PayPal, online banking, check, and wire transfer as payment methods.

Deposit limits are tight; as a new player, you can’t deposit more than $1,000 during your first month. Over time, you can ask for your limits to be raised.

The maximum withdrawal per transaction is $10,000, and payouts are generally fast and reliable.
