Underage gambling is becoming an increasingly prevalent problem in the UK. Over the past decade is has become easier for underage gamblers to assume fake identities in order to wager on sporting events. Up until recently, the problem has been ignored, but now William Hill online casino is looking for a way to combat the issue.

In 2009, a study conducted by the UK Gambling Commission indicated that 98% of bookmakers across the UK allow underage individuals to place bets on various sporting events. The Association of British Bookmakers called the statistics embarrassing and are looking for ways to ensure that the percentage decreases significantly over the course of the next year.

William Hill ensures that 8100 of its employees have undergone extensive training, including workshops that inform them how to deal with a situation when they encounter an underage gambler. By October, William Hill will train an additional 2000, ensuring that its entire staffed has obtained sufficient training on how to deal with the issue.

InterCasino launched off the month of March with the super cool Space Race, which many of you have heard about. The contest spans 13 weeks, and will be finishing the end of May. The biggest and best prize would be the trip to outer space, which will be awarded to a randomly drawn star entry. The winner will be announced by June 1st, and will be trained and prepared for this unforgettable experience.

The great thing about the Space Race is there won’t just be one winner, as there are many prizes to be won. Every star entry is essentially a raffle ticket, so the more you have, the greater your odds of winning. That being said, in order to enter more entries, you have to accumulate more Stars by playing at InterCasino, and every wager will bring you one step closer to zero gravity. At the end of the Space Race, the top 10 Star Collectors will win a share of a £100,000 pot, with first place receiving £50,000, second place receiving £15,000, and third receiving £10,000.

So a grand prize trip to space, and a £100,000 pot to be divvied up amongst the top 10 Star Collectors. Sounds good, right? Well, that is not all that’s up for grabs! Every week, the top ten Star Collectors share over £10,000 in cash prizes, with the top prize being £5,000!

Did I mention the fantastic holiday prizes that are awarded every week? This week’s prize is an all inclusive 3 day VIP trip for 2 to watch the 2010 Ryder Cup in Cardiff. Next week’s prize is a trip to Sin City, and tickets to see U2 live.

Perhaps Europeans are more free spirited and liberal in general but either way – a study has shown that those in Europe and the UK are much more open and accepting of the idea of online gambling. The nation as a whole is appreciative of all things new and different and when online casinos came up people were more open to embrace them and accept them as a new activity and income for the economy rather than look at it as a negative influence on the internet.
 
It is no secret that people in North America consider online gambling a guilty pleasure. Many think online gambling is a weakness. In North America people regard gambling in general as something that could be very negative and because of the laws surrounding gambling and the strict measures that govern the industry as a whole it something that some people hide and some just don’t admit to.
 
Online gambling is very popular throughout Europe and many online casinos are owned and operated from these countries. These companies are adding a lot to the economy of the world and many are benefitting from jobs and other great things from the existence of the industry.
 
The people that play at online casinos are always looking to have a good time and there are many people that go to the online casinos to spend some free time and some extra cash and use this as a good time and also a way to win some cash to have some extra spending money as well as have the opportunity to win a giant jackpot!

The UK has rounded out the top five countries whose online casinos have paid out the most in jackpots.  The US, Canada, France and Italy were the other four in the group and, in total, paid out approximately 9000 people in 2009.

This collection of data was meant to show that the online gambling industry is doing well.  So well, in fact, that players have won in the ballpark of $100 million this year.  Predictions for next year obviously exceed that amount and casino operators are more than hopeful that they will be able to surpass 2009’s grand total.

Online casinos and online gambling have taken off in the past couple of years and some even think that the recession has helped the industry.  People don’t feel so bad about going to casinos when they can just switch on their home computers.  Also, the convenience of playing from home makes gambling seem that much more intriguing.  Most modern services can be done from home including just about every type of shopping there is; now online gambling has been added to that list.

Both players and online casino operators hope that 2010 proves to be just as successful, if not more, as 2009 and that players will continue to beat the odds and become big winners.

Making all other ladies proud, a new player that goes by the screen name “Elena M” was the winner at the Sunday Guaranteed 100K tournament at the online casino or poker room Bodgo.com. Her total winnings from the tournament were a not so shabby 25000 dollars that she will receive very shortly.
 
The tournament had a total of 441 players that Sunday evening and the buy-in was $109 dollars which seems like nothing if you look at the possibility of taking home the grand prize that Elena M took home.
 
This competition wasn’t easy either because Elena was a newer player or was playing against several bodog.com pros that ended up finishing in 5th and 7th places which isn’t so bad either. This was the only time ever that the lady had been able to make the final table at this tournament which is run on a weekly basis. The player says that she will be playing in these tournaments moving forward and hopes that she can be a winner yet again.

This online site is among the top online poker websites on the web today and there are a ton of tournaments that are played on a regular basis with tournaments like the one that Elena M has won happening on a regular basis.
 
So if you are looking for a new online poker room that has great promotions and great tournaments for their players to play in and compete for great cash prizes than this are the place for you.
