US Online Gambling Update

US Online Gambling Update
There has recently been a change of opinion from the United States Department of Justice. The issue in question is how the Wire Act of 1961 affects various forms of online gambling. The Department of Justice has explained that its legal counsel has looked more carefully at the Wire Act, and is of the opinion that the act is not about all forms of online gambling, and only about sports gambling. Up until now, the federal authorities in the United States used the Wire Act to prohibit all forms of online gambling. The Wire Act was not used in isolation since the UIGEA (Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act) has effectively rendered online gambling illegal in the United States since it bans all online gambling transactions. However, many of the prohibitions to do with online gambling in the US have recently been connected to the Wire Act. The statement from the United States Department of Justice included the following: The Department of Justices view is and has been for some time that all forms of Internet gambling, including sports wagering, casino games and card games, are illegal under federal law. While many of the federal statutes do not use the term Internet gambling, we believe that the statutory language is sufficient to cover it. The statement further noted: The Criminal Divisions premise is incorrect and that the Wire Act prohibits only the transmission of communications related to bets or wagers on sporting events or contests.” While this will affect how online gambling is looked at in a legal sense, there are other issues that need to be addressed. For example, the American Gaming Association is still of the opinion that online gambling needs to be regulated and legalized on a federal level. This would be important because of the safety for consumers and it would prevent fraud and money laundering, address problem gambling and ensure players arent being cheated.” Related Posts Two of Top Five Games of 2011 from Microgaming Playtech Releases Eight Online Casino Games A 3D Scratch Slot Launched by NeoGames Mega Moolah Hit Before New Years New Slot from Rival Gaming Share on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace…

Pappas Debates Frank Online Poker Bill on MSNBC

Pappas Debates Frank Online Poker Bill on MSNBC
John Pappas spoke in favor of H.R. 2267, Barney Frank’s bill regulating online poker, in a debate on MSNBC. John Pappas, executive director of the Poker Players Alliance, appeared last week on MSNBC for a brief discussion of the bill authored by Barney Frank seeking to regulate online poker. Tim Kelly, a professor of psychology who served as executive director of the National Gambling Impact Study Commission, was on hand to speak against the bill.Pappas told the network poker players from bipartisan backgrounds have united behind Frank, as the essential issue involved in the Internet gambling debate is about freedom. He said that while Frank may not carry the support of all the PPA members in other areas, he has come to be a symbol of liberty due to this bill.Kelly wisecracked that the Internet poker bill is being brought by “the same people who brought us sub-prime mortgages,” referring to the moves by the House Financial Services Committee contributing to the mortgage meltdown. He also advanced the constant misrepresentation by gaming foes that passing 5the bill means opening a casino in every household.Pappas responded that the ban favored by Kelly and his allies has failed to meet their own criteria for rejecting online gambling. Pappas offered that “the current law protects not a single child nor a single problem gambler.”When Kelly said revenue claims from licensing online poker sites are effectively taxing the poor, Pappas corrected him, pointing out that gambling winnings are already officialy taxed, and that any new revenue would come at the excpense of overseas operators who ciurrently pay no US tax.Kelly also said the US should not be condoning gambling behavior, while Pappas returned to a Frank tenet, that there is a wide difference between government allowing its citizens freedom to choose and sanctioning the activity, the area in which personal liberty falls.

Ontario Inching Closer to Online Gambling

Ontario Inching Closer to Online Gambling
The Ontario Lottery and Gaming Corp. have sent out a request for proposals from online gaming companies to seek help in running an online gambling operation in Ontario. The move could bring in an estimated $100 million over five years and says that $450 million is annually wagered over the web by Ontarians. There are several provinces already in the online gambling market and according to lottery spokesman Tony Bitonti we want to . . . get this right the first time. It is the plan of the OLG to phase in online gambling within the providence starting as early as next year. OLG promises responsible gambling with features such as self-control options that will pop up asking if they may be playing too much and maybe, according to Bitonti, online chats with counselors. There will also be an age verification system to help control minors coming onto the site. Not everyone is in agreement however as Progressive Conservative Leader Tim Hudak has said; The bottom line for me is (that) trusting Dalton McGuinty with a new revenue source is like giving the keys to the liquor cabinet to teenagers and going away for the weekend. The motivation is going to be to try to find another tool to take money out of our pockets. Theres a product out there thats successful. How is the OLG going to trump that?

MGM Resorts Announces Alliance with Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment
With billions on the line, people like Donald Trump and the major casino companies are rushing to get into the right position to take advantage of if and when the United States regulates online gambling. The MGM Resorts announced this week their poker alliance with Bwin.Party Digital Entertainment, the company that owns Party Poker, the second largest online poker service worldwide and the World Poker Tour. Jim Murren, chief of MGM Resorts said in a statement; MGM is proud to have bwin.party as our partner as they have the assets and experience that, combined with our brands, can ensure a secure, fair and entertaining online poker experience. Of course this is all contingent on an online gambling regulatory regime being started on either a local or state level. This bet on an online regulation seems to be where all the big money is heading. Boyd Gaming also announced it is entered into an online poker alliance with Bwin.Party as well. According to Jim Ryan, co-chief executive of Bwin.party they have been working on both these alliances for the past 18 months. Bwin.party is slated to own 65% of the proposed joint venture, while MGM will own 25% and Boyd will own 10%. Bwin.Party will also license its technology to both MGM and Boyd so they can offer online poker under their own brands as well. According to Ryan, The intention of the joint venture is to take the PartyPoker brand and the World Poker Tour brand and our operating expertise and combine that with the regulatory expertise of MGM and Boyd. Effectively you will have four brands in the U.S. and all four brands will be acquiring players and putting them in one hub, one poker network. The U.S. poker market has been the worlds largest even as the U.S. trys to curtail as much as it can. Now, the U.S. casino industry has made an about face and is pushing for regulation to regulate online gambling market either on the state or federal level.

EGR Nominations Favor William Hill
The eGaming Review Operator Awards are set to take place at the end of November this year. The nominations are all in and eGaming Review has announced the top nominations that were received. Online gambling sites waited to hear if they had been nominated for any of the categories, especially the most coveted of the categories available. There were of course many online casino operators and other online gaming operators that were simply disappointed because their brands did not feature in the top nominations. One well known brand, William Hill, was certainly not one of those operators that suffered disappointment at hearing which operators received the top nominations, since the online gambling operator received EGR Operator Awards nominations in a number of the top categories. In fact, William Hill received more nominations than any other single casino brand that was nominated. Those who are watching the progress of the awards know that even though the nominations have taken place, the final decision has not yet been made, and William Hill and all the other gaming sites that have received nominations will have to wait until the 2011 EGR Operator Awards take place on 30th November. William Hill has been nominated for the much coveted Operator of the Year award, as well as many other awards. These include Casino Operator, Italian Operator, Mobile Operator, Affiliate Program, Innovation in Gaming, Marketing Campaign, In-Play Sports Betting, Socially Responsible Operator, Slots Operator, Skill Gaming Operator, and Sports Betting Operator. The awards ceremony is scheduled to take place at the Artillery Garden at the HAC in London. This is the seventh annual EGR Operator Awards ceremony.

CashSplash Hit at Ninety Thousand

CashSplash Hit at Ninety Thousand
The online casino progressive slot game, CashSplash, has been hit at 90,090. This online casino progressive pays out fairly often, but usually at much lower amounts. This exciting hit took place on 2nd October 2011. The previous CashSplash hit was on 27th September, when it was hit for 60,473, which was also a good payout for this online casino progressive slot jackpot. On 22nd September, the CashSplash slot paid out 42,125, and on 12th September, it paid out 20,901. On 6th September, CashSplash paid out 20,738, and the final hit in August 2011 was for 16,527. Online casino players expect the smaller payouts from CashSplash, and these larger payouts are very exciting, not only for those who have won the bigger amounts, but also for those who are hoping to win on this progressive slot. Somehow, since the end of August, each new win has been higher in value than the previous win that has taken place on CashSplash. Although the odds are that this trend will continue, it has certainly encouraged players to play this slot more than usual, and that is what helps the CashSplash progressive jackpot to grow more quickly than it usually does. CashSplash can be found at Microgaming online casinos, and is one of the popular Microgaming online casino progressive slot jackpots. Other popular Microgaming progressives, such as Mega Moolah, and Major Millions are going strong and increasing in size every day. Currently, Mega Moolah stands at more than 3.8 million, with many online casino players wondering if it will make it to over 4 million, or if it will be hit before then. Major Millions is now worth more than 1.3 million. King Cashalot is now worth over 200,000, and Treasure Nile is worth more than 100,000. Tunzamunni is still growing and is currently at just over 60,000.

Detroit Tigers Give Gamblers A Reason To Take A Deep Breath

Detroit Tigers Give Gamblers A Reason To Take A Deep Breath
Coming into the season, the Detroit Tigers were a team that odds makers made one of the betting favorites to win the American League Central. Early on, Detroit struggled, much to the chagrin of gamblers who had placed bets before the year at Las Vegas sports books.Tuesday, those gamblers took a big deep breath after the Tigers reclaimed the top spot in the division from the Cleveland Indians. The Indians had been the feel good story in the seasons first two months, but have struggled mightily in June. Justin Verlander became the latest pitcher to carve up the Indians lineup on Tuesday night.Verlander has been one of the best pitchers in baseball for several years now, and he was one of the reasons that odds makers were high on the Tigers this season. Verlander has already thrown two no-hitters in his career, and on Tuesday he flirted with history once again.Eventually, Cleveland broke through and got a hit off Verlander, but the Tigers ace was able to complete the job and move Detroit back into first place. The Tigers, White Sox, and Twins have all been hot in recent weeks, but Detroit did not have as big of a hole to dig out of as the other two teams.Cleveland, meanwhile, has had underdog gamblers giddy with their play in 2011. Their young talent was melding well with the veterans, and analysts believed the Indians could have been for real. The pitching has remained strong through their recent slump, while the offense has been nearly non-existent.Shin-Soo Choo and Carlos Santana were being counted on to do much of the heavy lifting for Cleveland, and neither has performed up to the expected level. Choo has struggled after receiving a DUI, and Santana has yet to find a groove at the plate. Despite the rough stretch, the Indians had held on to first place until Tuesday.Minnesota received good and bad news on Tuesday. Joe Mauer is close to returning from the disabled list. The move will amount to nothing more than a switch of great players, with Justin Morneau heading to the DL with a wrist injury.
