Players need to have 10 raked hands from the previous 40 hours in order to gain entry into one of the Goal Fest Freeroll Satellites.

The biggest goal fest is also the Goal Fest Final, and will take place on July 14th. The prize pool will start at $10,000! This final is definitely worth fighting to get in on as every goal really counts!

All seats in the final are non transferable. Players are limited to one seat in the Final, and any additional seats will be forfeited to the next ranked player. Any players discovered to be “soft playing” or “team playing” in order to help another player to further their position will be disqualified and have their account suspended.

As stated before, each satellite will require 10 raked hands over the previous 40 hours, but they must be played on real money cash tables, and not practice tables. The players who finish in the top 50 of any of the satellite qualifiers will automatically be entered into the Goal Fest Final, taking place on July 14th at 17:30GMT.

Online Casinos Using Holidays and Weather to their Advantage

Monday, December 28th, 2009

Online gambling sites in the UK are prepared for a surge in players this holiday season.  With poor driving and flying conditions, it is expected that more people will be forced to stay home than previously thought. 

They prepared for more players by adding new games that were popular in forms other than online casinos.  In fact, many online casinos are running Christmas-themed casino games limited to the holidays.  Simply stating that the games are only available over the holidays and that the bonuses or jackpots were competitive made players want to try the games so they wouldn’t miss out.  Online gamers know that the odds of winning the jackpot are unpredictable; you just have to be in the right place at the right time.  Therefore, many are unwilling to miss out on the potential opportunity to win. 

Online casinos, particularly those in the UK, are making the prospect of opening an account and depositing money so tantalizing that they are seeing record numbers of people signing up.  These welcome bonuses, deposit matches and top jackpots are not simply a gimmick, they are actually being offered and players interested in online gambling are taking the offers.

Casino games are not the only gambling options, either.  Some operators are taking bets on weather predictions such as snowfall accumulation and record highs and lows.  The holiday season is the perfect time to take advantage of what is currently being offered, because 2010 will bring some form of change and players may have to wait a whole year before being able to gamble on the weather again.

2009 Was a Big Year for Online Casinos and Players

Monday, December 21st, 2009

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 20009.

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.
