Canadian Pediatric Society Warns Against Teen Gambling

Canadian Pediatric Society Warns Against Teen Gambling
With online gambling becoming much more prevalent around the world over the past decade, children have been more susceptible to gambling problems than ever before. Lawmakers in dozens of jurisdictions have been balancing the line between gambling expansion and problem gambling.Now, the Canadian Pediatric Society has released an opinion that is warning parents and legislators about the dangers of allowing children to gamble, even in a friendly atmosphere with no money at stake. The dangers, according to the group, run deeper than just addiction.”If children are playing cards or dice games for money, even if it’s with their family members, then they are gambling,” said Dr. Jorge Pinzon, in a press release. “It seems harmless, but as kids get older, these behaviors can develop into more serious gambling activities. And far too many youth develop problems with gambling.”That opinion is not knew among doctors, as psychiatrists have been warning about the dangers of adolescent gambling for years. The difference, however, is now the children have gambling much more readily available with the Internet gambling boom hitting a fever pitch in recent years.”When I was young, you couldn’t go on the Internet and create accounts to gamble,” said Warren Combs, an Ontario resident. “These days, the kids can get their hands on a parents credit card, and off to the computer they go. Sometimes the parents don’t find out until after their next credit card bill. In some cases, I bet they don’t find out at all.”There are safeguards in place at most online casinos that will keep children from gaining access to the cash sites. Online poker has become one of the hottest ways to gamble online, with many countries regulating the industry over the past five years. Even with regulation, the Canadian Pediatric Society believes more needs to be done.”In this increasingly web-based and networked era, a new frontier has evolved and to date, the impact of new technology on this significantly ‘risky business’ has not been elucidated. Research into online gambling is needed to better support our youth, particularly males, who engage in this type of practice.” May 8, 2012Posted By April GardnerStaff Editor, CasinoGamblingWeb.comSubmit News!

Online Progressive Slots for Microgaming Platform

Online Progressive Slots for Microgaming Platform
Online Progressive Slots (Microgaming Platform) (Part 2) Written by: BondedCasinos.com StaffDate: 23 June, 2008 Both land-based and online casinos have progressive versions of many of their games. Especially slots and video poker. But slots lovers will quickly learn the jackpots are much bigger at online progressive slots due to the simple volume of people playing the games. Software providers incorporate the play from all the casinos to which they provide the games into the progressive jackpots so they get much bigger and payout more often. Huge money jackpots are hit regularly and paid out providing you’re playing at a reputable casino. Progressives are also offered in other game types that won’t be found at most land-based casinos. Not too mention even if you did find them they won’t have near the size jackpots that online progressives accumulate. Online slots games both progressive and not .. offer automatic play meaning you can set it to spin with settings that allow for the game to be stopped after a big win, a set amount of money is won … or lost. Progressive slot games found online offer a variety of credit values … so there are games to fit anybody’s budget though those games that cost less to play seldom boast the sizeable jackpots that the higher stakes progressives will payout. Keep an eye on the progressive games and over a short period of time you’ll get an idea at what amount they tend to payout thus giving you the advantage of knowing when to play that respective game. On an ironic note … there have even been players that have hit progressive jackpots twice in the same day or within a short period of time between the two wins. ……. Just when you thought it couldn’t get any better!

Online Gambling and Women in the UK

Online Gambling and Women in the UK
There has recently been a survey undertaken by an online consumer search and behavior organization, Hitwise. The findings of the research were publicized by the Belle Rock online casino group. The research showed the updated statistics regarding women and online gambling in the United Kingdom. Interestingly, the survey found that the number of female online gamblers in the UK has risen to nearly 50 percent. The Hitwise survey took into account all UK- based online casinos, not only those that form part of the Bell Rock group of online casinos. There was a similar survey done in 2007. Between 2007 and 2010, the number of women participating in online gambling in the UK has increased fourfold, bringing the actual numbers to nearly as much as the men who are gambling online. As of 2011, women now constitute 48.38% of the UK players, with 51.62% being male. The survey notes that this increase in numbers is likely because women feel safer being able to gamble online from the comfort of their own homes, rather than at land based casinos. Many online casino sites and online bingo sites have noticed the trend that more women are taking part in online gambling, and have made sure to offer games and chat rooms that are specially designed with women in mind. There are also whole online gaming sites that have been designed with women in mind. The survey shows that men seem to vary the kind of online gambling that they take part in , and that women tend to stick more to one choice. Men are likely to play online poker, sports betting, online roulette, and other games, while women are more drawn towards games such as online casino slots and also online bingo games. Female bingo players already outnumber the male bingo players by a huge margin.

How profitable is online poker?

How profitable is online poker?
WagerX Online Poker Reviews How profitable is online poker? Written for WagerX.com July 2008 With so many new online gamblers drifting over to the poker rooms to try and win some money, several players are asking the question; how profitable can online poker be?Poker is far different to the majority of casino games because instead of playing against the house, you are playing against the other players at the table. The house or poker rooms are obviously profiting from your play through the rake they take from each pot, but the odds of each situation will not be in favour of the house, because any money that you win or lose will not directly come from them but from your opponents. This means that poker can actually be a profitable game in the long run, whereas in other games like craps and roulette, there is no possibility that you could be a long-term winner.As with most casino games, there is an element of luck incorporated into the game of poker. However, there is also a vital element of skill that you can manipulate by the way you bet your hands. Therefore some players can make better decisions than others, and so they will be able to win more money from the game. The more you improve your skill in the game of poker, the greater opportunity you will have to win money and make profitable decisions at the table. So with the correct knowledge and ability, there is no reason why any gambler cant win money from poker on a regular basis.Now this is where the interesting question arises how much money can potentially be won from poker? The amount you can win from the game is almost limitless, as there are numerous poker pros making hundreds of thousands of dollars everyday from simply playing cards. If you dont believe me, head over to a top online poker room and check out the high stakes tables. It is not uncommon to see pots in excess of $100,000 exchanging hands at peak times.Obviously this is not ideally going to be attainable for the new players to the game, but there is no reason why this level cannot be reached over time. However, to become a successful winning poker player it takes time and effort. You will need to practice regularly and read up on good strategy. Texas Holdem is currently the most popular game as it is easy to pick up, and you should have no trouble finding good Texas Holdem strategy on the Internet and from books. By reading and learning such strategy you can improve your game and learn how make each individual decision at the table profitable.If you are new to the game and you are in full time employment making an average wage, it is perfectly feasible that after a few months of learning, you could be pulling in a couple of hundred every month to supplement your income. The only restraints from making money are the amount you have to gamble with and your ability to play well. As your ability improves, your winnings will increase. Then as your winnings increase, the amount you can play for will increase and so on. With the right amount of dedication and effort, poker could potentially be an upward spiral of success and winnings over time.

Microgaming Wins Casino Software Award
Microgaming has released a Press Release announcing a recent exciting win that the company has achieved in the online gaming world. The company is known to be the largest provider of online gaming software worldwide, and is also known to be trustworthy. It seems that not only do the online gaming operators like and appreciate Microgaming, but those who play in Microgaming powered online gambling sites do too. The award that Microgaming won is the award for best casino software from the Gambling Online Magazines Readers Choice Awards. This means that it is the readers and players who have voted Microgaming to the top spot for the best casino software award. This is the eighth time that the Readers Choice Awards has taken place, and Microgaming has now won the same award both last year and this year. Because the people, rather than the gaming industry itself, is voting for a winner, it is often felt that this collective voice should be listened to, because when it comes down to it, these are the end users who have chosen the Microgaming online gaming software provider above the other software providers. There are of course other excellent online casino software providers in the industry, however, according to popular opinion, Microgaming has come out on top again this year. The Microgaming Chief Executive Officer, Roger Raatgever, had the following to say: Microgaming prides itself on being an industry leader, and always striving to stay one step ahead in developing casino software, so we are extremely pleased to have won this award. Mr. Raatgever further noted: We work hard to not only maintain but build on our strengths in the e-gaming sector and the fact that we have won this award again is a testament to our commitment to providing unsurpassable software. The fact that we were chosen by readers makes this achievement even more satisfying as our end goal is always to create the best possible gaming experience for the players.
