This book has basic information of the sort you quickly find on your own. Like other _Idiot_ books, pages get filled with elaboration of the obvious. The book also has a very rah-rah cheerleading tone for the gambling industry -- a highly complimentary reviewer above is in Belize, a major host of gambling servers. There is a short, common sense section on how to avoid problems, but no mention of any of the actual URLs who've been ripping people off. For that, go to the free portals like winneronline, gamemasteronline, gambling.com. However, I think the book still would be quite useful to someone new to both gambling and the web.

After reading this book almost cover to cover, I can easily say this is the most comprehensive book regarding online gambling written to date. From software providers to sites to avoide, Mark Balestra has included it all. I have found it to be an excellent choice for reading as well as a good reference tool. Thank you Mark Balestra.

mark balestra has done a wonderful job in putting together what potential players will need to know before playing offshore. it is simple to write a book that explains how the different games are played online but the big concern here is safety factors when fronting your money offshore. mark makes these things crytal clear and tells you what to avoid and where to go for advice. i highly recommend this fine book for anyone who is considering internet wagering!
