Online Casino

So this guy from Rock Falls, Illinois was playing poker and decided to cheat by palming two chips which he slipped out after betting had finished to increase his payout. Little did he know that his extra $40 payout would land him in real hot water. Get this:

Due to his crime, the guy was charged with a felony for prohibited acts in a gambling game. He was convicted after a short trial by jury and sentenced to 2 years of supervised probation after the judge suspended a $750 dollar fine, as well as a 5 year stint in prison.

Whoa, guys, do not EVER cheat at poker!

Hey everyone, so like Paddy Power is trying to swing a sponsorship deal with Tiger Woods, but word has it that the five year deal on offer with a total potential sponsorship of $75 million has been rejected by IMG.

Its funny, but its no big secret that Tiger is in a little trouble on the financial side of things due to several big sponsors pulling out over his very public, ahem... indiscretions! He probably needs a good cash injection and turning down this kind of money sounds pretty foolhardy to me.

What do you guys think?

Hey guys, here's something that may interest you.

The international trade organization representing operators, manufacturers and suppliers in the gaming industry, the Gaming Standards Association or GSA, has now created an Internet Gaming Study Committee. The idea behind this is to gain an understanding of the new forms of gaming distribution such as the Internet as well as looking at how it affects its members. It should help identify any problem areas and then figure out how to deal with them.

I hope it has some teeth!

Hallo, it is becoming difficult for Estonia government to keep out illegal foreign based online casinos from accepting bets from Estonian citizens. They make a list of 200 sites but how they will deal with them is unclear. Perhaps they use censorship, I don't know.

If they do this, is bad for Estonia as great amount of money come into the country from advertisement and this will stop if government force ISPs to censor foreign sites. Is good for state licensed Olympic Casino which is based in Estonia and can legally allow its citizens to gamble there. Maybe they make incentives to gamble at Olympic Casino to make it better than gambling at foreign casinos.

Hi everyone, I hear there's a big promotion happening at all of the Fortune Lounge group of casinos, with players loyalty points and casino credits up for grabs. Fortune Room, Platinum Play and Royal Vegas are amongst some of the better known casinos in the group.

On 30th march the Ocean's 15 promotion get started with cruise tickets for two up for grabs and a load of nice prizes for those involved. I'll be trying my luck for sure, so if you like a little extra on the side, its worth a look.

So, if you were given a means to restrict aspects of your gambling, would you?

There's a device that can do that which is available right now called Gameplan, manufactured by Nova Scotia-based gaming company, TechLink. You set it up yourself with what limits you want to stick to, and it does it for you. So like if you hit your cash limit for the day, its shuts you down so you don't go over the top. Same with gambling time, so you don't spend more hours gambling than you pre-set it to.

Okay, so like its presently aimed at land casinos, but these guys are thinking it can be adapted for online casinos too. So if that happens, would you want to limit yourself with such a device?
