Web gambling gets boost from Obama administration

admin — Mon, 26 Dec 2011 20:55:51 +0000

WASHINGTON (Reuters) – The Obama administration cleared the way for U.S. states to legalize Internet poker and certain other online betting in a switch that may help them reap billions in tax revenue and spur web-based gambling.

A Justice Department opinion dated September and made public on Friday reversed decades of previous policy that included civil and criminal charges against operators of some of the most popular online poker sites.

Until now, the department held that online gambling in all forms was illegal under the Wire Act of 1961, which bars wagers via telecommunications that cross state lines or international borders.

The new interpretation, by the department’s Office of Legal Counsel, said the Wire Act applies only to bets on a “sporting event or contest,” not to a state’s use of the Internet to sell lottery tickets to adults within its borders or abroad.

“The United States Department of Justice has given the online gaming community a big, big present,” said I. Nelson Rose, a gaming law expert at Whittier Law School who consults for governments and the industry.

The question at issue was whether proposals by Illinois and New York to use the Internet and out-of-state transaction processors to sell lottery tickets to in-state adults violated the Wire Act.

But the department’s conclusion would eliminate “almost every federal anti-gambling law that could apply to gaming that is legal under state laws,” Rose wrote on his blog at Gambling and the law.

If a state legalized intra-state games such as poker, as Nevada and the District of Columbia have done, “there is simply no federal law that could apply” against their operators, he said.

The department’s opinion, written by Assistant Attorney General Virginia Seitz, said the law’s legislative history showed that Congress’s overriding goal had been to halt wire communications for sports gambling, notably off-track betting on horse races.

Congress also had been concerned about rapid transmission of betting information on baseball, basketball, football and boxing among other sports-related events or contests, she summarized the legislative history as showing.

“The ordinary meaning of the phrase ‘sporting event or contest’ does not encompass lotteries,” Seitz wrote. “Accordingly, we conclude that the proposed lotteries are not within the prohibitions of the Wire Act.”

The department expressed no opinion about a provision in the law that lets prosecutors shut down phone lines where interstate or foreign gambling is taking place.

Many of the 50 U.S. states may be interested in creating online lotteries to boost tax revenues and help offset the ripple effect of a federal deficit-reduction push.

The global online gambling industry grew 12 percent last year to as much as $30 billion, according to a survey in March by Global Betting and Gaming Consultancy, based on the Isle of Man, where online gambling is legal.

Federal prosecutors in April charged three of the biggest Internet poker companies with fraud and money-laundering along with violations of another federal law, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Act of 2006.

The government outlined an alleged scheme by owners of the three largest online poker companies – Full Tilt Poker, Absolute Poker and PokerStars – to funnel gambling profits to online shell companies that would appear legitimate to banks processing payments.

High Roller Online Casinos

Any high roller that plays at online casinos are no different than high rollers that play at brick and mortar casinos. The most important part I believe for a high roller to play online is VIP support is #1 – they want to be treated and taken care of in the same manner they would be if they were in Las Vegas or any other gambling destination around the world.

As a VIP or high roller, you will enjoy enhanced benefits (including exclusive tournaments, stronger incentives and match offers). A key part of the offering is having access to a dedicated Casino Host the support you expect. It’s not unheard of for online casinos to offer private jet charters, celebrity meet ups, invitations to dinners and events around the world, exclusive gifts and holidays and tailored offers and incentives to ensure your gaming experience is the best it possibly can be for big online players.

Any online casino can offer high stake games with high limits, but the personalized VIP service and environment is what really counts. The online casino selects players as VIPs at their sole discretion, based on the significance and ongoing activity of play in the casino. A key element of being selected and maintaining VIP status at a online casino is consistency of play.

Casino.com’s collection of online live casino games will offer you the variety you crave and an online gambling experience that is as close to playing in a brick and mortar casino without having to travel anywhere. You’ll get to play live roulette, live blackjack, live baccarat, and live Casino Hold’em from the comfort of your own home, in real time, with real people, and with real money.

How Live Dealer Casino Games Work

Visit the Casino.com casino lobby and choose a game that’s listed as a “live online casino game.” These game tables are equipped with real cameras that link up to one of our live partner casinos. The video is live and streaming. You’ll play online in the exact same way that you would play if you were physically present at the live casino table.

Imagine what this means for your online experience: You’ll see a real, live dealer deal your cards and the cards of the other people at the table. You’ll actually see your dealer play his or her hand. If you’re playing online roulette live, you’ll get to see the croupier physically drop the ball in the wheel and see the ball go round and round until it comes to its natural stop.

The thrill you’ll get from playing with a live dealer at a real table will be so real that you’ll almost forget that you’re not actually there!

Russian player wins over 62K at Windows Casino

admin — Mon, 13 Jun 2011 17:11:41 +0000

Windows Casino once again brings to you a fantastic win story. The lucky winner is Vyacheslav V. from Moscow, Russia who has been a loyal player of Windows Casino since October 2007.

During the four years that he has been playing at Windows Casino, Vyacheslav V. has won a great many times and has risen to Ruby VIP level which is only one step away from the ultimate VIP level. We have no doubt that some time in the near future Vyacheslav V. will be granted entry to the exclusive Diamond Club where player benefits are endless.

This time, Vyacheslav V. won a fantastic $62,741 while playing at Bonus Bears Slots and Gladiator Slots. None of the wins came from jackpots but rather skill on his part and luck smiling down on him. Throughout the course of his gameplay, our Russian friend alternated between Bonus Bears Slots and Gladiator Slots; an uncommon strategy perhaps but which helped him to steadily build up his bankroll.

He was rewarded with good paying bonus rounds and during a unique session managed to accumulate $20,896.50 in winnings. During further gaming rounds he won again and again with his total winnings varying between $2,500 and $6,000 per session till they reached an incredible $62,741.

Vyacheslav V. is but one example of the many players who have found their fortune at Windows Casino and it’s a sure bet that he will continue playing at the online casino who has offered him so much for many more years to come.
