How Relevant Is Your Ecommerce Web Site Design
Abstract: learn how to gain visitors’ trust by studying how online casino
websites have overcome enormous obstacles to building trust among site
.visitors
The trust issue is only compounded for the online gambling industry when it
comes to serving US customers. Would you trust a website with your money
if it were located overseas, and you had little legal recourse whatsoever to
get your money back if you were dissatisfiedand if the “product” itself were
essentially intangible, anyway? To top it off, what if the purchase itself was
?illegal
This is precisely the challenge that online casinos meet every day, with the
estimated 60 percent of their industry’s customers who come from the USA.
Casino websites owned and operated entirely outside the borders of the US
are free to accept US customers. But gambling online with real money is
illegal in the US under federal law, specifically the Federal Wire Wager Act,
not to mention a host of state laws
Low barrier to entry: gambling websites generally either have a free option *
.or require only a small upfront payment
Highly optimized designs. It’s usually only a single click, if even that, from *
the homepage to the virtual betting tables. When you can get straight to
.doing what you want to do, there is not a lot of time to start nursing doubts
In short, if you take your online business’s trustworthiness for granted, you
may be missing out on potential customers who need additional assurances.
Take a lesson from websites that can’t trust their trustworthiness to be
taken for granted: make sure visitors to your site feel comfortable opening
.up their wallets
