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!

“Black Friday” Anniversary

Black Friday Anniversary
One year ago, the DoJ seized the domains of several well-known online poker sites and handed down several indictments. Later it was dubbed Black Friday by the online poker industry. The Poker Players Alliance (PPA) reminded U.S. online poker players of this anniversary by putting out this video titled the Players Will Never Fold. John Pappas, PPAs executive director said, Its been a full year since the rights of millions of American poker players were trampled and we are calling on congress to reverse this wrong and reinstate our basic freedoms. Since that day, the PPA and the American Gaming Association (AGA) has lobbied hard against state by state online poker in favor of a federal law regulating all online poker in the United States. Frank Fahrenkopf Jr., AGA president and CEO reiterated last week why the AGA is in favor of regulation, As long as these sites are operating outside the reach of U.S. law enforcement and with little to no regulation, Americans who continue to patronize them will be at risk of being defrauded.

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.

U.S. Department of Justice Reverses Stance on Online Gambling

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.
