A source in Australia reported that a man by the name of “Daniel” was reportedly offering the personal information of 10,000 ladbrokes.com members for the sale and review to the highest bidder. The classified information included some very personal details that are very private and most do not want disclosed about them. The information included the details of their gambling patterns and history, the home addresses , account details and information, birth dates, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses.
 
This information that “Daniel” had for sale was apparently leaked to the Media. At first the person claiming to have this information said that he considered contacting Ladbrokes directly to tell them that they had a security leak in their company but then he thought that going to the media was a better idea.
 
He said that he had the information of the 10,000 members to start and could also provide the information of an additional 4.5 million members as well. Ladbrokes immediately began contacting the members of their online casino to apologize for the breach in their privacy and to explain that everything was being done to keep the matter under control.
 
The matter is currently being investigated by the police as well as the commission bureau. This is a serious breach of privacy and this matter is being treated as a major case. In the meantime Ladbrokes customers and members are urged not to worry but will be kept informed on the outcome and the results of this case and are assured that they will do everything they can to protect the privacy of the information.

Moon Bingo has been a leading online bingo website in the UK for a long time. In November 2009 operators re-launched the site and added new games, increased the amount of jackpots and introduced bigger and better promotions. The casino is making its changes known via television ads that will run in the UK starting on Jan 25, 2010.
 
Operators have developed the slogan “one small step for man, one giant leap for bingo”. This slogan is a play on words in that it is almost exactly the same as the one for man’s first walk on the moon; they simply changed the last word to bingo.
 
In the short time since the re-launch, visits to Moon Bingo have increased by 900 percent. In an effort to keep up with high traffic, more bingo rooms have been added, the site’s budget and therefore promotional system has been improved and operators have added more instant win options. Online casino players who choose to play bingo games instead of slot or card games are very interested in the changes being made at Moon Bingo. The site is adjusting to their clientele and attempting to meet all of their needs.
 
Bingo is a very popular pastime in the UK and operators have picked up on the online gambling phenomenon and transformed the game into one that can be played online. This is a very convenient option for those who enjoy the game but can’t find enough time to go to a bingo hall.

The fairly new online casino known as Slot Club has recently announced that it will be closing its doors for good as of the end of this month. The exact date of closing will be January 31st, 2010. This news came in just recently and the online casino did not have too much of a run since it only opened its doors in February of last year.

Its a dog eat dog world out there in the industry of online casinos and online gambling altogether. Sure many believe its a lucrative industry to be in, and for some it really is. There are companies out there that are making millions on a daily basis. But those companies (at least for the most part) are considered pioneers in the industry and they have been around for an average time of ten years – which is when online gambling just began.

New players that enter the industry sometimes have a tough time, its hard to say what exactly goes wrong. Perhaps their promotions aren’t good enough, perhaps bonuses aren’t well received. Maybe they just don’t offer the games that players want to see. But either way there were simply not enough players to keep the doors of the online casinos open.

Either way if you are currently a member of that particular online casino now is a good time to get your money out. Any funds that are still in the casino after the last day in January may be lost and not returned to the customer.

There’s is an online gambling company that owns several online casinos that is happy to announce a special promotion that will be happening every month for the rest of the year. This promotion will see players awarded ten thousand dollars in cash for each month that this year holds. The company did a similar promotion on the same scale last year and gave away at total of one hundred and twenty thousand dollars and plans the same for the upcoming year of 2010!

Being entered in the draw for the cash is easy. All players have to do is make a deposit of a minimum of $100 at any, all or some of the Vegas Partner Lounge participating online casinos and then continue to make at least 1000 wagers on any of the games offered at these online casinos. Making a deposit of $100 and wagering 1000 wagers will give the players one entry into the 10,000 dollar monthly draw and the more times you make the $100 deposit the more chances you have in the draw as tickets to the draw are awarded for every deposit of that amount that are made.

There are quite a few great online casinos to choose from for this great promotion. All of the casinos are actually powered by the microgaming network which includes a great selection of wonderful games for players to choose from. The online casinos that are participating in the draw promo are as follows: SunVegas.co.uk , 777DragonCasino.eu , CasinoUS.co.uk, CrazyVegasCasino.co.uk, CrazyPoker.co.uk, CinemaCasino.co.uk, RiverNileCasino.net , Aspinalls.com,GoldenRivieraCasino.com, CasinoFranceNet.com, and AspinallsPoker.com. There are a plenty of chances to win so keep trying and you may just be the next lucky winner!

A gambling fair is scheduled from May 28th-30th, 2010 in Paris, France. The event will consist of conferences, merchandise sales and, of course, casino games. The current working title is “Winner 2010” and will be organized by the Winner Exhibition Company.

The purpose of the fair is to inform people on such casino and other betting games as sports betting, horse racing, poker and others. The online gambling market is expecting to be given a boost in 2010 and operators want to ensure that people understand the games, as well as instil excitement for the industry. Currently, there is no market for sports betting or horse racing in France and the idea is to garner player interest before these gambling events are introduced.
 
The event will also offer instructive poker sessions to anyone wanting to learn the game or improve their skill. Focus will be trained on all aspects of the gambling industry as operators will also be promoting roulette, blackjack and all other casino games. Those attending the gambling fair will be given special tokens to use at the gaming stations.
 
In addition to being important for online casino operators, the gambling fair will give them a chance to measure the level of public interest from French citizens and present an opportunity for valuable marketing.

Its a sad beginning to the New Year for Online Casino company 888 as the co—founder and co-owner Aharon Shaked has past away from a serious illness in his home in Isreal. Shaked who was a Dentist by trade was one of two founders of the online gambling giant 888. He and his brother (the second co-owner) came up with the idea to start the online casino company after meeting for a Dental conference in the city of Monte Carlo.

After attending the convention in Monte Carlo and observing the action surrounding all the gambling the brothers returned to Israel and did serious research into starting their own online gambling company. Neither brother had any experience with online casinos or any form of gambling or online gambling whatsoever. They did their research in the casinos in Israel and in 1997 the company 888 online casino was formed.

The company which has many sub companies is one of the biggest names in online gambling altogether throughout the world. When asked Aharon said that even though the online casinos have brought wealth like he would never imagine he would not spend his time indulging in the money but rather help many charities that are established to help the children of Israel and he came true to his promises.

The co-owner of 888 passed at the young age of 58 and will be survived and remembered by his family, brother, company and many fans across the world.
