As thousands of Australian players are gambling online every day, casinos are finding it difficult to manage issues such as security, privacy, and catching cheaters. To cope up with the problems arising due to such issues, some live online casinos have imposed restrictions on their online players. While most casinos let players see and talk to other players, there are some casinos that do not let their players get in touch with other players playing at their table – in other words, the feed is only visual with no audio.

In reality, the dealers are able to see every player they are playing with. On the other hand, players may see the dealer and also hear them in most cases. However, due to the added restrictions, players can now feel safer while playing live online casino.

For one, there is no way a player can identify who is playing with them on any online table. This also curbs online cheating issues to some extent. Unlike heavy security and monitoring systems available at real life casinos, these methods cannot be practically implemented in case of live online casinos, and therefore, these restrictions coupled with alternate methods such as manual monitoring are used to spot cheaters in case of live online casinos.

This issue is critical in some games such as blackjack where chances of cheating are highest. Therefore in order to provide a fair platform for all online players, many live online casinos have taken added measures. In case of casinos where there is absence of audio during dealer-player interaction, all the orders and bets passed between dealer and player are text-based.

Of course, not every casino has taken this approach; such live online casinos continue to provide full-scale interaction between players and the dealers. Whether or not these casinos are able to keep a check on cheating and other privacy issues will determine whether restrictions imposed by other casinos are helpful or just redundant.
