You know what it's like – a few bucks in the casino account to claim that tasty bonus and, what's this? A code? I don't have a code!
Well, this won't happen any longer because Real Time Gaming online casinos have done away with the idea of a bonus code entirely. Las Vegas USA Casino, Sun Palace Casino, Vegas Online Casino, and Slots Plus Casino all used to require a code when claiming their 125% match bonus but now you can almost literally plug in and play.
These casinos offer a great 125% bonus but with an extra 25% match on each dollar above $100. This means that a $200 deposit nets you almost $300 in free money.
This removal of bonus codes is all for you, the customer – allowing you to get online and play quickly. Their new flash, no-download casino will also help at RTG. ...Read More

William Hill and Betfair are among the UK-based online gambling companies looking to possibly sink their teeth into a huge new gaming market, reports the British newspaper the Independent. Currently, India is accepting bids for new online gambling licenses.
Both of these companies have made bids for the subcontinent’s first-ever online gambling license, hoping to get in on India’s £37 billion gambling market. A decision is expected within weeks, the Independent reports.
Local Indian operators are also in the bidding — there will be at least three awarded. Some sources have reported that the licenses are to be granted by, and betting to opened by, April 2010, in time for the next World Cup in South Africa. Ladbrokes and 888 are also considering bidding.
Very few people want to see regulations imposed on Internet traffic. After all, if it isn't broke, why fix it? But, as most observers know, there might be some big changes coming in the way people are allowed to access the Internet, and needless to say, that could have some pretty big effects on online marketers used to a completely even playing field.
The Internet is perhaps the most democratic of all media ever, because everything’s basically on equal ground. Yet, because some Internet service providers (ISPs) have publicized plans (or wishes) to give preferential treatments to certain sites they partner with, say, having Yahoo load faster than Goby because of a special partnership, the government has felt it necessary to step in and figure out if this should be allowed, or if law...Read More
$42 Billion from Regulated Online Gambling
October 29, 2009
Coming at a time when the debate over whether or not the legalize (and regulate, and tax) online gambling in the United States has reached a critical point, a non-for-profit, independent group has released a statement announcing that the government stands to make tens of billions of dollars in tax revenue from the enterprise.
The United States’ most influential financial publication, the Wall Street Journal, quoting from the Dow Jones newswire, has published a report stating that the measures in the U.S. Congress “decriminalizing many forms of Internet gambling would raise nearly $42 billion for the U.S. Treasury over the next decade”.
The analysis comes from the Joint Committee on Taxation, a group that stands independently from any online casino advocacy group. The report st...Read More
States Regulating Online Gambling and Shutting Out
October 28, 2009
Since it seems that the UIGEA is here to stay, at least for the short term, some states have begun plans for legalizing and regulating online gaming within their own borders, ignoring the larger national market.
One of the more confusing (and poorly understood) aspects of the UIGEA is that it doesn’t necessarily outlaw online gambling; it prevents inter-state online gambling. States are still theoretically free to set up their own online gaming networks within their own borders (with a certain amount of restrictions). California gave it a halting start last year and plans to try again in 2010. Florida is also considering doing so. And Illinois has just legalized online horse race betting. (Although some feel that UIGEA regulators may come down on that in the near future.)
Although it’s the time of year when Internet stocks usually perform well, some big names in online business are doing much better than anticipated — especially given the so-called recession in which the U.S. and much of the rest of the world finds itself it.
(Or is it because of the recession?)
Amazon, Netflix, and Priceline are among the online retailers who have just reported enormous financial gains. (And are all powerful affiliate marketing brands, coincidentally.) In particular, Amazon’s shares have hit an all-time record, up 24.3 percent for the week even as Wall Street stumbled. Similarly, Priceline’s stocks have surged a whopping 140 percent this year.
"The Internet sector in general has had a bounce back this year in both stock performance and their financials. Th...Read More
