As a regular casino player and an affiliate, Casinovas exists to provide commentary
(mainly from me!) on online casinos and the casino industry. It is a non-commercial
blog with my own independent reviews and views on anything and everything casino related. Among
the information, there are casino guides, law and regulatory articles, general comments on
service levels within the industry, casino affiliate information...well, pretty much anything
to do with the world of online casinos that I can come up with quite honestly.
The Friday before Christmas was an historic day for internet gambling - hot on the heels of Nevada regulators approving internet poker regulations (see previous reports), the US Department of Justice radically changed its long-held and damaging opinion that online gambling in general falls under the provisions of the dated Wire Act 1961.
That stubbornly held opinion formed the basis for a number of dubious but effective DoJ intimidatory threats and actions over the past decade.
Thursday's meeting in Las Vegas of the Nevada Gaming Control Board (see previous report) produced a positive outcome for intrastate online poker in the gambling state when Board members voted unanimously to adopt the regulations drawn up by the Nevada Gaming Commission.
The new regulations, drawn up on the orders of the Nevada Legislature earlier this year, are the first comprehensive regulatory standards for online poker in the U.S and could form the basis for legal test cases as …
The Cereus Poker network and its parent group Blanca Gaming have been severely impacted by the Black Friday enforcement actions of federal authorities in the United States (see previous reports) but may be about to pay owed players….the snag is, it may only be a small proportion of what is actually owed.
Insider revelations were carried on the respected PocktFives online poker information site as the week closed, claiming that Cereus mainstays UBPoker and Absolute Poker could be about to pay …
Switch Poker.com announced the launch of its real money poker app for Android mobile devices this week, an offering that includes a capability to view multiple tables on-screen, making multi-tabling easier and faster.
The app allows users to 'swipe' between tables in order to easily and quickly move from table to table when multi-tabling on small devices.
The Spanish online gambling information site Opergame.com reports that the Icelandic sports betting software developer Parspro has signed an agreement to provide its ppTOTO fully automated sportsbook solution to Spanish gaming operator CIRSA. The platform includes a live betting client and a mobile offering for both pre-match and in-running events.
Parspro joins quality software companies like Microgaming and Betware as CIRSA gambling software suppliers.
One of the pioneer online poker brands, Poker Room, could be about to stage a comeback after an absence of three years, if a tweet from a Bwin search engine optimisation specialist this week is to be believed.
Bwin’s SEO manager Josef RantamÀki, tweeted, presumably in a tease marketing move: “Wow! www.pokerroom.com will be relaunched and once again offer real money poker games."
More detail has emerged on the burglary at World Series of Poker champion Jonathan Duhamel's Montreal home earlier this week (see previous report) in which the Quebec poker ace was tied up, threatened with death and beaten by the robbers.
Duhamel has revealed that among the burglars' spoils was his 2010 WSOP main event winner's bracelet, several Euro 500 bank notes and a black Rolex Submariner watch.
The director of the Washington DC Lottery, Buddy Roogow, says that most of the city residents who spoke at the lottery's nine consultative briefings around the city recently voiced support for the introduction of carefully regulated online gambling.
Roogow makes the claim in his report on the information initiative, designed to sample the reactions of residents following the passage earlier this year of a city law empowering the lottery to operate limited online gambling activity …
The acquisition by US land gambling giant Caesars Entertainment of 51 percent of Israeli internet social games developer Playtika in May this year (see previous reports) has been followed by the news that the American corporate has snapped up the remaining 49 percent of the company, lifting its internet gaming technical capability.
The Israeli business press reported on the move to secure the rest of the remarkable eighteen-month-old company this week, commenting that it is valued at around …
