La Isla Online Casino Restructures Its Bonus System

Thursday, October 30th, 2008

La Isla Online Casino is trying a new way of offering a deposit bonus to its customers as more and more online casinos are seeing less deposits being made to their accounts mostly due to the latest downturn in the economy and possible fear of what the financial markets will bring next. Doing something different seems like the only thing that online casinos can do to stay on top of their game.

When asked about the situation the casino manager explained that while the amount of people signing up and depositing money to their accounts is basically the same as in previous time it is the amount that they players are depositing that is actually less by more than 25 percent. Therefore they have to figure something that is geared towards those making smaller deposits and so have decided to offer their members a deposit bonus on every single deposit that they make for amounts as low as £21.

Their bonus for new players that are just opening a new account will continue to be a 100% of what the player deposits the first time and a whopping 150% of whatever their second deposit may be. They go on to say that they would like to focus on every kind of player with every kind of budget rather than putting all their efforts towards members that are considered high rollers only.

This online casino is based and licensed out of Antigua and is part of the Playtech Casino group which has been around in the gambling community from 1989.

The online casino will continue to offer online gamblers a safe and fun environment and assure that they will only work harder and harder to ensure that the players that join find their site an enjoyable experience at every visit and look forward to coming back time after time.

Most online casinos currently allow players one way of depositing money into their account. The Company Cantor Gaming Group, which is comprised of CantorCasino.com, CantorPoker.com and CantorFinancialOdds.com, has revealed today that they are planning to allow their players the option to deposit in their accounts what they wish either Pounds or Euros. The members can then continue to view and use their respective accounts in the currency that they have selected.

This will allow players to know what they are spending at any given moment as all bets that are made will now be displayed in the currency that they pick. If a player selects to play in Euros than they game will show that they are betting one Euro instead of one credit or one chip. This will also eliminate the need of making a conversion and losing money way before making the deposit, allowing players to add a little extra into their accounts or keep that extra money for something else of their choosing.

This new idea was a hit among many including several affiliate companies that were happy to advertise this information since they were turning their efforts to the European markets and the currency mainly used there is the Euro.

Kentucky Judge Gives Online Gambling Sites 30 Days To Block US Users

Tuesday, October 21st, 2008

In recent negative news to the online casinos that currently allow US players access to their sites, A judge in Kentucky had decided that online gambling websites must take away any privileges that residents currently have within the next 30 days or the domain will be transferred. This comes from the theory that the current rate of online gambling in Kentucky is taking away from the economy and the physical land based gambling facilities that are available to the public.

The Judge said that his ruling will not be dismissed but should be feared as he will have the support of other government officials behind him as well.

The judge said, “The Internet, with all its benefits and advantages to modern day commerce and life, is still not above the law.”
The judges theory is that if there is absolute no option for the residents to play online in any manor what so ever after the period of the 30 days they will begin to venture out and start betting and playing in the physical land based casinos and thus adding money into the Kentucky economy allowing for business to prosper.

American governments are overall opposed to internet gambling as there is no regulation and legislation currently in place to govern those that own or play in online casinos. However, governments have not made an effort to create proper rules for online gambling but rather took the steps to ban it all together rather than understanding the profitable industry.

The winner commented, “I saw an ad for $1,000 free for playing at the casino. So I decided to start playing as I had a good month at work. I was doing OK financially and had a bit of spare cash and figured it couldn’t hurt having a go – nothing ventured, nothing gained as they say.” he added, “I downloaded the Pokies available to play online and started with just dollar bets, but soon the Pokie I was playing started giving feature after feature – it seems like it just wanted to pay out. I eventually got my money up to about $400 and decided to risk the lot on five dollar hits – similar to what I do playing pokies down the pub. It’s risky but sometimes it works.”

The winners balance by then had touched over $70,000, and he walked away with nearly $76,000 finally. This was followed by a call from the casinos customer service congratulating him on this achievement.
