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…

Harry Reid Holds Online Casino Bill’s Future Hostage

Harry Reid Holds Online Casino Bill’s Future Hostage
Harry Reid is as mysterious as the Sphinx when it comes to predicting his ultimate stance on online casino regulation. Now that Barney Frank’s measure proposing regulation of online casinos has gathered some momentum in the House, observers are wondering how the bill may fare in the Senate. The uncertainty of which way that chamber will turn on Internet gambling lies directly at the feet of Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid.”He’s the linchpin,” Representative Shelley Berkley, from Reid’s home state of Nevada, told the Reno Gazette-Journal. “He will be the decider when it comes to Internet gaming.”On the surface, it might seem obvious that Reid would be on the side of opening the online gambling market and allowing the licensing of Internet poker sites and online gambling operators. Like Reid, Frank is a powerful member of the Democratic Party, and Reid certainly has no desire to aid Spencer Bachus and the ultra-conservative right in defeating H.R. 2267.But Reid has long relied heavily on the support of the giant casino companies in Las Vegas, a group divided on the subject of online casinos. Until recently, the land casinos were united behind Steve Wynn and his insistence on continuing the ill-designed UIGEA ban.Lately, some operators, led by Harrah’s, have altered their position, preparing themselves to adapt to regulated online gambling. The shift has left the American Gaming Association adopting an officially neutral stance.While Berkley told the paper she sees Reid softening on the issue of Internet casinos, the hardened politician finds himself in a fight for his political life. Without a decisive order from the casino companies, Reid may take whichever side is most politically expedient with his constituents to ensure his re-election.This could mean the entire US online casino policy for years to come may be decided by Nevada voters’ feelings on whether Internet gambling will increase or decrease their unemployment rate.

Massachusetts Compromise Casino Bill Blocked by Governor

Massachusetts Compromise Casino Bill Blocked by Governor
Massachusetts lawmakers succeeded in crafting a compromise casino gambling bill, but Governor Deval Patrick says he won After a divisive argument between the legislative houses in Massachusetts almost derailed this year’s chances for expanded gambling in the state, it now appears the governor may prevent the bill from becoming law. Deval Patrick told reporters he won’t sign the casino bill as currently structured.Patrick says he needs lawmakers to amend the bill, which permits the creation of three resort casinos and two racinos at existing race tracks. Patrick wants an amendment added eliminating the racino provision and allowing only the stand-alone casinos.While the casino operators would be subject to a competitive bidding process, the racino locations would be assigned to existing tracks, one of which is Suffolk Downs. The House version of the bill, guided by Speaker Robert DeLeo, whose district contains the track, specified the need for racinos.”I’m not going to be a part of no bid contracts, that’s precisely the kind of thing that folks voted to change,” said Patrick. “That kind of inside deal that the fix would be in for some powerful interest.”The Senate version had licensed only the casinos, but DeLeo forced the racinos into the compromise version, playing chicken with a deadline of last week until the Senate side blinked. Now, it is highly doubtful the Speaker will allow any casino bill to go forward unless a Suffolk Downs racino is included. Published on August 9, 2010 by K.C.Carmichael

Live Roulette Tips

Live Roulette Tips
October 7th, 2009 / Posted by Suicidalsam in General, Roulette Roulette is a casino game with limitable odds and is mostly based on chance. Because of this there is not that much you can do to increase your odds of winning, however there are some sure fire ways to help you come out better financially overall. Some of these ways you can do this are listed below. The first tip is based upon the systems people sell online, having used a large percentage of the always win systems I can confidently say nearly all are practically useless. It doesnt take a genius to work out that if the live roulette system was that amazing then the people who created it would be living in the Caribbean playing online roulette for a living. Roulette players should also be aware that they have better odds when playing European roulette (rather than Russian roulette). The European wheel has only one zero, and a rule which means that bets are not lost when zero comes into play. A general live roulette tip which is fairly unknown is to avoid the number 5! The number the worse odds statistically by a long way you would probably be more lucky by throwing your money into a wishing well. The last tip is possibly the hardest to achieve, however it has been done with many being banned from casinos for this very reason. Croupiers who have been dealing in roulette for years usually become prone to spin the wheel in a certain way and throw the ball at a consistent velocity. Although it is rare players have been known to read the dealer so well they have a outstanding win rate. Try and notice if a number comes up more often than once and see if you can relate this to a certain movement. Extremely hard, but by no means impossible. To end we want to remind you that roulette is a game and you should enjoy the thrills of playing.

Online Gambling on Personal Academic Achievement Now Available

Online Gambling on Personal Academic Achievement Now Available
A new website permits US college students online gambling based on future grade performance. US residents tired of being denied access to conventional casino gambling on the Internet now have a fresh alternative while awaiting the advancement of H.R. 2267. A new service is allowing college students to use their academic records for online gambling.Ultrinsic is a website which uses an algorithm to calculate betting odds based on course difficulty, personal history and current workload. Site operators say taking bets and placing lines on a student’s future success acts as a motivating tool.Further, the site hopes to escape the nefarious clutches of the UIGEA ban while it still exists, as site designers say the system tests skill, not luck, and is therefore not gambling.”Other people’s stuff you bet on; your own stuff you invest in,” CEO Steven Wolf told the Boston Globe.Participants set their goals, and the Internet gaming site determines odds of the achievement coming to pass. Over 30 universities are already accepted by the database, including Stanford, New York University, and five Ivy League institutions, and more are being added each term.Online gambling foes might object to the targeting of young people, but site operators claim most participants are expected to use the wagers as motivation to study and excel. Internet and technology website Switched.com pointed out the company should expect to lose money, unless “the goal is to prey upon the under-performing students of America. In which case, Facebook’s beat you to it.” Published on August 10, 2010 by JoshuaMcCarthy

Did Christie Make Online Gambling Call With Eye On Election?

Did Christie Make Online Gambling Call With Eye On Election?
New Jersey Governor Chris Christie vetoed online gambling legislation earlier this year, and at the time, it was suggested by CGW analysts that Christie’s decision to veto the legislation may have been fueled by his desire to gain the Republican presidential nomination in 2012.Over the past week, Christie has been mum on whether or not he will run for the nation’s top office, but more and more evidence is pointing towards the New Jersey governor doing so. If that occurs, it is likely that Democrats would pin him to his decision against online gambling at a time when the nation is moving towards regulation.Top strategists for Governor Christie have started to assess the pros and cons of jumping in a Republican primary race that appears to have no real front runner. Christie is well-liked within the Republican base, and his decision to veto the online gambling bill that lawmakers passed in new jersey is viewed as a sign that Christie had national political aspirations.”When a Governor vetoes any legislation, it usually is because they are under significant pressure from their own party,” said Gaming Analyst Steve Schwartz. “Governor Christie understood the stance his party has taken on Internet gambling over the years, and becoming the first state to regulate online gambling may have turned off many Conservatives.”Although Christie has vetoed the bill earlier this year, it appears as though the legislation will be coming back to his desk for a signature, possibly as soon as later this year. Senator Raymond Lesniak has adjusted the original bill, addressing some of the issues that kept Christie from signing the original.Lesniak again has strong support from New Jersey lawmakers, yet Christie has not said whether he would sign the new bill. The governor, instead, has focused on creating jobs and is known for his straight talking ways. An additional veto to a bill that would bring thousands of jobs to New Jersey could potentially be dangerous to a campaign run by Christie.While Democrats would surely use the gaming bill to try and undermine Christie’s decision-making process, Conservatives would be focusing on the positives that have come out of Christie’s stay as governor of New Jersey. Christie has been described as a straight-shooter, and someone who leads from the front, with cutting edge ideas.Republicans could counter the liberals’ gambling talking point about the veto by bringing up the fact that the governor, last year, orchestrated a series of summit meetings with the goal of stabilizing the existing gaming industry in New Jersey. Christie was responsible for bringing North Jersey, where race tracks are the primary gaming option, with South Jersey, where Atlantic City casinos rule.Out of those summits can a series of law changes that have helped both the tracks and AC casinos in the sort run. With Christie not strongly opposed to gaming, its is still possible that Lesniak’s bill could gain the governor’s seal of approval later this year.

Don’t Gamble at Night

Don’t Gamble at Night
Ever notice a pattern of big loss during playing poker or blackjack at night? Scientists have noticed this and are probing why gamblers lose big time during the night. Their first culprit was lack of sleep. Now gamblers have become favorable subjects for sleep research to prove if really it is sleep. Some players may have noticed making unsound decisions during a night of gaming. They never realized it until the game is far over. They could perceive a bad hand as worthy of a raise only to lose the bet later on. Such phenomenon might also be perceptive by those gambling online. Exhaustion will upset one’s thinking. Experts say that not having enough sleep makes one prone to accidents. History is witness of such statements with the accident at Chernobyl for example which happened, you guessed it, at night. For gamblers that means accidentally raising the bet without thorough thinking. For those online, it could be as simple as clicking for the wrong virtual poker room. In an experiment to test the result of sleep deprivation on decision-making two types of gambler were pitted against each other. One group was comprised of gamblers who barely had rest and the other who rested well enough and refreshed. The result of the study revealed that when sleep is cut short, gamblers go into jeopardous, high-paying options. By studying further the brains of these gamblers with scanners (MRI), a certain part of the brain becomes more active compared to those seen in well-rested subjects. The scientists added that one’s adeptness to learn from past mistakes is arrested. Losing does not take its toll until later when one’s mind clears. The gambler is not deeply involved with the bad consequences in holding risky cards. That makes matters worse. When such learning is arrested, the brain is only pushing for high stakes and is gambling and not folding even in cases of a bad hand. One’s brain becomes only focused on the gains and not the reality of one’s hand. This muddled thinking is similar to those experiencing insomnia that wake up in the middle of the night confused. The good thing is that these gamblers are choosing decks that are of great advantage to them. And so the scientists are now advising gamblers to carry watches or be conscious of the time so as to rest after hours and hours of play. Most importantly just don’t neglect how important sleep is to a gambler. This sleep study on gamblers has shed a new light on the perils of playing when tired.
