Online Casino Sites History

Posted by Trix @ 12:00 AM, Thursday Jul 16th, 2009

The legal situation for online casinos has become increasingly complex over the last few years. The UIGEA in America made it illegal for online gambling sites to operate in the country, although states such as Washington had already outlawed it. A number of countries around the world have their own specific laws about what forms of gambling they deem appropriate for their citizens.

What makes things more complicated is that many online casino businesses are located in small countries with no such bans. Arguably they are outside the jurisdiction of these laws. It is also notoriously difficult to police the internet.

Differing rules about online casino companies across the world, coupled with the global nature of the internet, has led to worldwide controversy. Both Antigua and the EU have complained the World Trade Organization over the US ban.

In recognition of this problem an number of online casino firms are beginning to tailor there products to specific markets. Casino and sports-book giants Betfair have developed what they call “jurisdictional architecture.” They want to make sure that they are only offering online casino services that are legal, meaning that some places will have access to some features while others will not.

As well as ensuring that they are not contravening laws, this also means that they can provide an online casino service to territories that might otherwise have missed out. Betfair are looking to set up a number of online casino teams around the world to tailor the core product towards the specific audiences.

It was recently announced that popular online casino Red32 are to become the official sponsors of Swansea City. The squad currently play in The Championship and are considered as one of the up and coming teams in the division. This is just one of a number of new online casino sponsors striking deals with clubs up and down the country.

Over the last few years online casino operators have begun to expand more and more into conventional advertising, and see football fans as a great market to engage with. Football clubs, on the other hand, see the bonus revenue from online casino sponsors as a great way to increase their profits.

Along with Red32, companies such as Mansion continue to set the trend. Since 2006 they have emblazoned the shirts of top-flight club Tottenham Hotspurs. The growth of online casino sponsorship isn’t confined to the UK; 888 are the proud sponsors of Seville in Spain’s La Liga. Another Premier League club, West Ham, also agreed a sponsorship deal with SBOBET in December 2008.

It was recently revealed that 188Bet have taken the unprecedented step of sponsoring two Premiership clubs at the same time. Both Bolton Wanders F.C. and Wigan have agreed deals with the online casino to provide them with bonus payments. 188Bet are an online casino specialising in in-play football betting jackpots and have previously done much of their business in Asia. 188Bet’s dual sponsorship is not just first for online casinos, but for any company.

How to Win at Online Casino Games

Posted by Trix @ 12:00 AM, Wednesday Jul 8th, 2009

I have a lot of friends who love visiting the local casino, just like I do, but when it comes to online Casino’s they sometimes seem a bit sceptical about what to do, how to do it, where you go, what you do, is it genuine and all the rest of it, but I can categorically tell you know that playing at an online casino is just the same as playing in a real casino, except you don’t need to get dressed up, spend money in a taxi to get there and pay a fortune for ridiculously overpriced drinks, you don’t have to queue for a table either.

Also a lot of people are well aware of how to go about joining an online casino and of course that you need to at first pick the right one, then you need to sign up and create an account and pick a username etc, then you will deposit some funds into the account to get you started (at this point you normally get some sort of bonus into your account aswell) and then you click on the casino itself.

If it is your first visit you might need to download the software to be able to play at the casino. What a lot of people are unsure of is how to win at the online casino, well it is simple, as long as you’re playing for real money they you are winning real money, so once you are happy with your winnings, walk away and put the money back into your bank account and the money is yours.

How to Play Online Casino Games

Online Casino games are such a phenomenon now that you will never have a problem finding a site to play your favourite casino games on, that’s for sure. There are of course millions of members on all the different sites available, whether they are UK sites, US sites, European sites and sites from everywhere else in the world too.

Don’t get me wrong, there are countless amounts of members on all these sites but I personally think there would be many more members if people knew exactly what the procedure was to play the vast majority of online games…….that’s where I come in.

Playing the online casino games is not difficult, it really isn’t. Most of the sites in fairness you do need to download some software but it is very easy to do, a lot of the time it is just literally the click of a button. After you have downloaded the relevant software to launch the casino you then need to deposit money into your account, if you don’t have an account it doesn’t take too long to do, just give a few details and away you go.

Once you’re signed in and have made your deposit you the decide what game you would like to play, then you just play it like you do at a real casino, you select your stake, you select what moved you want to make and when you want to make them, and then when you win, the money is yours, it’s that simple.

Online Casino Biggest Winners

Posted by Trix @ 12:00 AM, Wednesday Jul 8th, 2009

I love the casino honestly I do. I genuinely don’t think there is a better way to end a good night out with your friends than visiting the local casino, having a couple more drink and sitting at the Blackjack table and playing for a few hours at the minimum bet of £1 or £2, then I think walking away with £30 is a success….well try telling that to some of the following.

I was astounded when I realised that you could even play casino games online, I was even more astounded when I realised what sort of jackpots could be won, we’re not talking hundreds, in fact we’re not even talking thousands, in some scenarios we’re talking over one million pounds, unbelievable! I have decided to look at one of the biggest sites in 32red.com and had a look at the big winners that they have had, one word, wow.

Lets have a look at the big winners that they had in May of this year, ok so first up a member called Steve T won an impressive £8,769 on European Blackjack, the same game that member Jason M won £9,900 on. The biggest win in May came from T.D playing All Aces and they walked away with an incredible £25,368. These amounts of money are just a drop in the ocean compared to the progressive big leader board, on that board there are two members on there who are sitting on life changing amounts which have both broken the 1 million pound barrier, I’ll tell you one thing, it makes me want to play more on casino sites.

Online Casino Jackpots

Posted by Trix @ 12:00 AM, Wednesday Jul 8th, 2009

Recently I have become fascinated with the online casino and for many different reasons. I love the fact that I can log on to a website and play my favourite games.

I am a big fan of Roulette and Sic Bo but my absolute passion is a good game of Blackjack. Despite having my favourite games, there are still some other things that attract me to certain sites, for starters with me being from the UK i like to visit UK sites, of course the layout is a good factor and obviously the realism of the games themselves because on some sites they just look terrible. Then of course there are the very VERY generous offers, promotions and bonuses that a lot of these sites offer but I’ll tell you what, the one thing that has amazed me more than anything lately are the size of some of the jackpots that are available….some of them are absolutely unreal.

I wanted to see what different jackpots were available and I wondered if there were any sites specific to jackpots….and there is, the site I decided to look at was awesome jackpots.com. Ok so it is an American casino site but it’s still interesting to see what is available. For example there is a game called Mega Ball and the jackpot currently stands at $369,903. There is a game called Jackpot Pinanas with a whopping jackpot of $638.483. Of course there are many more but this is just to give you an idea of the sort of money you can be playing for if you look hard enough.
