Put quite simply, a ‘progressive jackpot’ is a jackpot for a gaming machine (such as slots) where the value of the payoff (or,jackpot’) increases by a small amount each time another game is played. Gaming machines are commonly linked to ONE of these of progressive jackpots’. So, several players, playing at different machines, are in reality playing for the same jackpot AND increasing it each time they play.

It seems that everyday a new online casino, with a new theme, new gimmick, new offer, and/or new attraction springs up online and claims to be the best. Sometimes it almost seems that the greater the variety becomes, the more they all just blend together.

So, how does a player decide where to make a deposit? Well, after establishing which games you want to play, the type of atmosphere you’re looking for, the safety/reliability you need, etc., another factor - a very BIG one in fact - is the type of BONUS program on offer at a particular site or group of sites. This can, and often should, trump many other criteria. Think about it this way : Would you prefer pretty graphics or an extra $200 to throw around? When you ponder the situation that way, the decision takes on new significance!

Bonuses and Promotions can take several forms and can often be VERY enticing (especially if you have a large amount of money to deposit). Some sites even offer ‘No Deposit’ bonuses which give players FREE money without requiring a deposit at all. We really can’t stress enough how important it is to check out the promotions at each casino (these change constantly) to see which offer will give you the bestedge’ right from the get-go.

Legislation paving the way for regulating interactive gambling, such as on the internet, has been tabled in the National Assembly in South Africa.

According to a memorandum attached to the draft National Gambling Amendment Bill, the interactive gaming industry in South Africa is unregulated. It is generally plagued by crime, criminal elements, little or no protection for players, uncontrolled exposure of children and others vulnerable people to gambling and a host of other negative factors.

“This situation has resulted in a considerable loss of revenue to the national fiscus and compromises the country’s reputation as a responsible global citizen and the reputation of the gambling industry in general,” the memorandum says.

Interactive gambling is generally accepted to mean all forms of “remote gambling” via the internet or other related forms of telecommunication. However, the bill excludes interactive gambling activities between two or more people facilitated by a third party, as the implications of this form of interactive gambling are still being investigated.

The bill thus seeks to address the socio-economic implications of an unregulated, interactive gambling industry by establishing an effective and efficient regulatory framework, based on sound policy objectives in line with government’s broad policy framework for regulating all gambling, the memorandum says. It provides, among other things, for approval of interactive games, equipment and software, registration of players, dispute resolution and “fair” treatment of players. (more…)

Many people are of the belief that the online gambling world is currently balanced in a delicate state. The recent laws in the United States have clearly had a huge affect on the number of Americans playing online and have generated a wave of concerns for players worldwide. The US legislation was an extreme measure to curb an industry that was exploding out of control. However many other countries aren’t so trigger-happy and are instead embracing the opportunities that the online casino industry offers and are working towards legislation that benefits everyone concerned.

The British government is moving towards regulating the online casino industry with recent surveys conducted to look into the number of players and their activities when gambling online. Statistics from the year ending June 2007 have revealed that 8.6% of adults in Britain placed a bet online, which is an increase on 7.4% from 2006. (more…)

There is no doubt that the high profile ban on online gambling transactions in the United States has brought a significant change to the online casino landscape. It is expected that many online casinos will fall well short of their revenue projections for 2007 as a decrease in player numbers from the US has severely dented their bottom line.

Some industry experts predict this dent to be in the vicinity of billions of dollars industry-wide. This is a huge figure and will dishearten both players and operators involved in the once blossoming online gambling industry.

But…

There is another group of industry experts that have predicted that new breeds of players are emerging in the US that will soon put online casino revenue back on track. This new breed of player appears to be young American gamblers aged 21-25, that are often students based on American college campuses around the country. With a large social network, high intelligence and plenty of free time, these students are coming back to the online gambling world with renewed vigor. (more…)

If you got this page opened that means you might be related somehow to gambling and you got a lot of questions regarding online casino business. I hope I could help you to clarify a lot of things. Well, let us start and check it step by step.

Step 1. The most important issue concerns such a simple statement “Owning your own casino is profitable”. True or False? I’m 100% sure the majority wants me to say “True”. … and I will! Why? - my argument is very
strong: this is you who decide where, when, how and for who! In this situation you do not depend on your business location. You are not a grocery shop owner who is not able to move his shop from china town to the downtown! You are the god of www and you can place your site to the downtown of Google, Yahoo, MSN, etc. But it is not as easy as a pie. Before you start your own casino you need to answer the following questions:


1. How do you believe you will be successful? Here is a piece of advice: be brave, take the bull by the horns and remember: Nothing ventured, nothing gained. If I were you I would answer: I know I will get every success as I REALLY want to try something new especially in such an excited sphere as gambling is! I feel it will be rather a hobby than a job! Love what you do and won’t be disappointed with the results. (more…)
