Ladbrokes Announces new Chief Executive

Monday, March 29th, 2010

One of the largest betting companies in the UK has made a decision and named their next Chief Executive.  The new addition to Ladbrokes is currently finalizing the details of his contract but an announcement is expected to be made early this week.

The employee change up comes as Chris Bell steps down from his position at Ladbrokes, one that he worked hard for during the 20 years he spent working for the company.  Several high-profile gambling industry leaders were being considered for the job but Richard Glynn, formerly of Sporting Index, won the race and is expected to be claiming the position shortly.

Glynn’s experience and industry success was clearly taken into account before this decision was made as Ladbrokes has recently reported to be suffering from poor betting results.  The industry continues to grow, closing the gap between Ladbrokes and their competitors.  Ladbrokes is hoping that the addition of Glynn will help them reclaim their status as the UK’s top betting company.

The new partnership is not completely one-sided, however.  Glynn is expecting to learn a lot from Ladbrokes and the way it works as an operator because he has never worked for a company as large as them.  He plans to use his skills, polished from the experience of running a smaller betting company, to help Ladbrokes extend their client base.  As the online gambling market opens up in the US, Ladbrokes plans to get in on the industry outside of the UK with the next stop being Italy.

Online Bingo Advertisement Banned in the UK

Monday, March 22nd, 2010

An online bingo advertisement has been banned for using negative racial stereotypes and seemed to make fun of black people.

The advertisement consisted of two men; one white wearing a white suit while the other was black and wearing a tacky floral shirt.  Both men were sitting around a fire while the black man played a ukulele and repeated everything the white man said in a singsong voice.  The advertisement was criticized for making it seem as though the white man had power over the black man.

The Advertising Standards Association (ASA) of the UK is responsible for reviewing any complaints related to advertising.  They found that this particular one was indeed offensive and demanded that it be removed from television.  Specifically, the ASA claimed that the advertisement could be construed as humiliating, stigmatising and undermining the character portrayed by the black man.

The ASA has been forced to make several decisions lately regarding gambling advertisements.  They recently removed one where a single mother insisted that gambling significantly improved her financial standing.  Some thought that it was irresponsibly promoting gambling and implied to those with financial difficulties should see gambling as a solution to their problem.

While online gambling is legal in the UK, operators have to be careful that their advertisements don’t make any promises to people who would be easily influenced.  Operators are expected to maintain a level of responsibility when creating advertisements.

Tiger Woods Still Has a Following at Online Casinos

Thursday, March 18th, 2010

Well not quite what the golfer may aspire for but there are still players at online casinos that believe in the golf skills of Tiger Woods. It was just announced that Tiger Woods will be participating in the next big Golf tournaments and Tiger Woods is considered as the top runner by those that are playing and enjoying betting on sports at online casinos.
 
There has been much in the media about Tiger Woods these days! For the last few months Tigers life has been exposed. But we haven’t actually seen much of him! And while he hasn’t been in the public eye there are many stories about his affairs and the insider details on what has been going on in his life for the last little while.
 
But rumour has it the Golfer actually hasn’t been spending that much time on the golf course so he may be a little out of practice and with many situations on his mind it will be interesting to see how this affects his golf game.
 
Those that are taking bets at online casino are still pointing to Tiger as the favourite to take home another green jacket and players are hopping on the Tiger wagon as many are putting their bets on him. He is largely the best player to ever golf but it will be interesting to see if the last months events have had any effect on his game. Both ways, once the wagers are formed there isn’t much anyone can do and bets are made such that players know the odds before they place their wagers!

Wednesday, March 17th, 2010

So you may think that this is completely silly but the best place for you to find the best offering for a current online casino bonus is actually the inbox of your email! If you are a brand new player that is looking for the best sign up bonus you should check the websites of various online casinos but once you are an established member remember to provide the online casino with your email address because the best promotions will come directly into your inbox.
 
The online casinos monitor the play of all their plays. They know what games you like to play, they know how much you spend when you are playing these games and they know the duration of time you spend playing each of those games as well! So they are the best at creating promotions catered to what you are looking for. You will see emails that are general promotions that the entire online casino will be having but then there are also additional promotions that are geared just for you!
 
Players are encouraged to enrol their email into all the online casinos that they wish to hear from. Just when you are looking to get into that free roll or looking to play in a great slot tournament you will be able to check your email and find a promotion at an online casino that you already belong to. One player has suggested to create a folder in your email that is especially for online casino email – if you keep the emails in here and keep the folder current you are able to find just what you are looking for when you are looking for a great game to play!

Jackpot Deuces is on a Winning Streak

Monday, March 15th, 2010

Players who prefer Microgaming-powered online casinos proved that they know what they’re doing.  Several jackpots were hit over the weekend including one on the progressive game, Jackpot Deuces. 

This is one of Microgaming’s most unique games in that it is not a slot machine game; it follows the rules of poker.  Jackpot Deuces is one of the few poker games with a progressive jackpot.  While there are multiple ways of winning, to win the jackpot a player must have a Royal Flush in the diamond suit.  A player over the weekend managed to get that hand and won almost $30,000.  Jackpot Deuces had been having a dry spell; the last time the jackpot was hit was more than two weeks prior to the most recent win.  This may not seem like a lot but the game is known to pay out often.  In fact, in the past month Jackpot Deuces has paid out the top jackpot four times!

Players looking to try their hand at this unique poker game can check for it at any of Microgaming’s casinos.  Since it has made industry news in the past several weeks, operators can expect to see an increase in the number of Jackpot Deuces players.  Whenever a game is advertised as paying out often, it draws a lot more attention from players looking to cash in while a game is hot. 

Cryptologic Makes a Controversial Decision

Monday, March 8th, 2010

Cryptologic has decided to license several of its best online casino games to Betsson, a Malta-based online casino.  The games are considered to be some of Cryptologic’s best and some are confused as to why they would make this move.

The slot games will be available on Betsson’s various casinos by the end of the year.  One of the casinos is already offering one of Cryptologic’s games so players can begin playing at any time.  If you’re wondering what’s in it for Cryptologic, you aren’t alone.  The software provider will gain a percentage of the revenue earned by Betsson from its games.

Cryptologic executives are thrilled about the partnership and believe that Betsson’s casinos have a high volume of players coming through daily.  They also feel as though Betsson is a great platform on which to portray their top games because the operator has been in the industry for some time.  Therefore, it will be a great outlet for generating a significant amount of revenue over a long period of time.

Betsson representatives are speaking equally highly of Cryptologic, insisting that Cryptologic’s games are of the highest quality and they look forward to offering them to their players.  Betsson is looking to expand their player base and correctly recognized Cryptologic as the easiest way to do just that.
