U.S. Department of Justice Reverses Stance on Online Gambling
Merry Christmas U.S. online gambling!! Last week, right before the Christmas holiday was to begin, U.S. online gamblers got the best present of all. The Department of Justice had changed its stance and is now stating the Wire Act of 1961 only applies to sports betting. Back in July, Senators Harry Reid and Jon Kyl as well as Illinois and New York ask the DoJ to clarify its position regarding online gambling and poker in regards to the Wire Act. With this new official stance, states will now rush to take advantage with new lottery games as well as the possibility of using the same cross state tactics used for the major lottery games to allow online poker back into the United States. According to the office of legal counsel for the Justice Department; We conclude that the Criminal Divisions premise is incorrect and that the Wire Act prohibits only the transmission of communications related to bets or wagers on sporting events or contests. Attorney General Ronald Weich said in a letter to Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid that; in states that ban various forms of gamblingincluding Internet pokerthe Department will be able to investigate and prosecute those gambling businesses under the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act and other sections of the criminal code. With this new stance, even more pressure is on Congress to have legislation in place to regulate online gambling. This change in stance by the DoJ has cleared a path by which individual states can move forward on setting up their own offerings for online gambling. The Poker Players Alliance released a press release where its executive director, John Pappas applauding the clarification and called for Congress to act now, This is a much needed clarification of an antiquated and often confusing law. For years, legal scholars and even the courts have debated whether the Wire Act applies to non-sporting activity. Todays announcement validates the fact that Internet poker does not violate this law. The PPA commends Assistant Attorney General Seitz for recognizing this. However, this ruling makes it even more important that Congress act now to clarify federal law, and to create a licensing and regulation regime for Internet poker, coupled with clear laws and strong enforcement against other forms of gambling deemed to be illegal.

Major League Baseball Redefines Policy On Player Gambling

Major League Baseball Redefines Policy On Player Gambling
Major League Baseball has always been strict when it comes to their stance on gambling within their sport. Players and coaches have always been banned from betting on baseball, even if their own teams are not involved. They are serious enough about the issue that they have given a lifetime ban to Pete Rose.The former Phillies and Reds player is, by many accounts, the best hitter to ever play the game. Rose still holds the record for most career hits, but he put himself in danger when he bet on baseball games. When baseball found out about the gambling, they handed down a lifetime ban for Rose. While many have lobbied to have Rose reinstated, Commissioner Bud Selig has stood by the letter of the law on the issue.One area that was undefined is players gambling with illegal bookies. While it is illegal in the US to gamble with an illegal bookie, baseball had no specific rules on the books regarding the practice. The new labor agreement defines the rules, and bans players from gambling on any sport with illegal bookies.The subject has become a sore spot for all sports leagues in the US with the rise in popularity of gambling. Overseas, sports gambling is generally accepted, with some leagues even allowing teams to be sponsored by gambling companies. The US sports leagues, however, remain much more stringent in their desire to keep gambling illegal.Las Vegas is currently the only place in the US where sports gambling is regulated. Sports books in Las Vegas bring in billions of dollars each year, with the biggest event of the year always being the Super Bowl. Last year, nearly $100 million was wagered on the Super Bowl.New Jersey is making a strong push to become the second state to offer their residents places to gamble legally. Senator Raymond Lesniak has led the charge to legalize not only sports betting, but online gambling as well in Atlantic City. The casinos in AC have endorsed both additional forms of gambling at a time when the economy has stripped the city of thousands of gamblers.The new baseball ban on gambling falls under the category of player conduct. In addition to the gambling ban, players can now be disciplined for throwing equipment and for violating federal, state, and local laws. That means that Commissioner Selig will now have a similar authority to suspend and fine players that NBA Commissioner David Stern and NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell enjoy.

Rhode Island Governor’s Veto Stands Against Casino Gambling

Rhode Island Governor’s Veto Stands Against Casino Gambling
A bill which would allow table games to be operated at Rhode Island racinos failed to advance beyond the governor’s veto, leaving voters unable to decide for themselves. A bill passed by both houses of the Rhode Island legislature which would allow full casino gambling at the state’s two slot parlors won’t make it to the voters, as a deadline to override the Governor’s veto passed today. Governor Donald Carcieri had refused to cooperate with a bill expanding gambling, and the lawmakers had to bypass the veto by today to have the measure placed on the ballot this year.The new law would allow the operation of table games, including blackjack and roulette, to the selection of gambling provided at the racinos.The Twin River slot parlor is already in bankruptcy, and the Newport Grand facility is struggling financially, as the state places an onerous tax burden on the gaming houses. Carcieri helped change rules which forced the two erstwhile dog tracks to meet minimum hours of live racing, as the racing was losing money, but the chunk given to the state is substantially greater than greyhound losses.Carcieri also denies his own constituents the right to decide the issue for themselves. Because the expansion of gambling requires a constitutional amendment, the ultimate fate of the bill would have been decided in the general election.With table gaming denied for more than a year at best, the future of the Rhode Island gambling houses is in question. OCA gambling analyst Sherman Bradley says the state’s greed, combined with its intransigence over admitting new casino games, may cost it the multi-million-dollar golden goose.

Donald Trump Looking for Legal Online Gambling in U.S.

Donald Trump Looking for Legal Online Gambling in U.S.
What is the worst thing that anyone could do to Donald Trumptake money out his pockets and according to him that is exactly what is happening. It seems Mr. Trump, founder of a casino company in Atlantic City, says its time for the United Stated to take steps to approve online gambling. His company, Trump Entertainment Resorts, is making plans to be ready as soon as it happens by establishing its own online betting venue. His company is close to selecting a joint venture partner to help them run an online gambling operation and hopes it will be sitting on the ground floor ready to launch as soon as online gambling is legalized in the United States. Trump said that having the best brand is the key to a successful online gambling site and that We think we have the hottest brand there is, the Trump brand, my personal brand, we think its going to do phenomenally well. The companys CEO Robert Griffin had this to say not only about online gambling but also about the resent set back in New Jersey concerning regulating online gambling; Currently, millions of Americans engage in online gaming with illegal offshore operators, and do so with no oversight, no regulation or no consumer protections. It makes sense for the state of New Jersey to regulate this activity, enforce strict standards to ensure games are fair and safe, and in turn be able to collect tax revenue instead of having those dollars and the jobs they support leaving New Jersey and going illegally overseas.

Review of Online Slots Microgaming Platform

Review of Online Slots Microgaming Platform
Review of Online Slots (Microgaming Platform) (Part 1) Written by: BondedCasinos.com StaffDate: 23 June, 2008 Online slots games offer fair-odds payout percentages if you play at publicly traded software powered casinos. The leader in the industry is called Microgaming casino software and it is leased to many, many online casinos. The games are tamper-proof meaning no casino owner can change the payout ratio and Microgaming makes its money on leasing the games and not on the income derived from the game play so it has no reason to not provide a fair-odds payout ratio and in order to have kept its reputation as the cutting-edge software for online casino games it has every reason to assure the games are creating winners in a manner to parallel the payout rates found at land-based casinos. They provide a wide variety of slots games … many of the casinos powered by Microgaming software boast as many as 300 games … many of which are slots. Reel and video slots are available and both have an array of payline situations ranging from one payline to well over 50 … and they are continually coming out with new versions which means of course that the player never gets bored having to play the same games. The slots games all are themed and have something for almost any taste. You’ll get all the bells, whistles and excitement that one would encounter at a land-based casino. Most advantageous to the player is that if you get a hot streak .. you can change the credit values of your bets to higher numbers and never have to leave the hot machine where as at land-based casinos most of their games have a set credit value and therefore if you want to get brave and bet more … you have to switch machines. *Note that there are few land-based casino slot games which allow you to up credit values slightly but nothing like online games which can jump from $.25 cent credit values to $5 or more. Check out some of the quality casinos listed on this site and look near the bottom of the casino website and if it is powered by Microgaming there will be a logo somewhere on the page.
