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 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.

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.

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.

888 Holdings And Caesars May Partner For Online Poker License

888 Holdings And Caesars May Partner For Online Poker License
Foreign online gambling companies have been positioning themselves over the past couple of years for a move into the US market. After Black Friday several months ago, many companies backed off their aggression in the US, but not 888 Holdings.Reports surfaced last week of how 888 was in advanced stages of negotiations with Caesars Entertainment to form a partnership. The two gaming giants would be positioned perfectly if and when online gambling became regulated in the US.The Gibraltar-based gaming company has been receiving good news from many different areas in recent months. The second quarter revenue figures were released and they were up nearly thirty percent. The company also acknowledged that they were considering applying for an online poker license in Nevada.The company may need to have secured funds in the future for expansion into major markets such as Spain and the US, although for the time being they are financially sound. The company understands that certain expansion efforts may be necessary to compete on a worldwide level.”It’s just we don’t want to miss no-brainer opportunities as they arise,” said Deputy Chairman of 888, Brian Mattingley.The US move would certainly be classified by many analysts as a “no-brainer.” With the countries online gambling laws in flux, the first companies to gain licenses in a newly regulated market could be in for a big payday. Several US-based companies have started to partner with foreign companies that have the platforms to immediately open up shop in the US should the laws change.Nevada legislators have already authorized online gambling, with the stipulation that no sites would be opened until the federal laws are changed. Currently there are three bills that have been proposed federally that would regulate online poker if passed.William Hill is perhaps the most successful of the foreign gaming companies, and they already have agreed to buy three sports books in Las Vegas. The company could then use the sports books and their good standing to gain an Internet gambling license when they are offered by Nevada regulators.

How heroic Victoria Coren It’s quite fun, this Guardian experiment. They’re having a games slot every day – bridge, chess, that sort of thing – and I’m doing the poker one. It’s aimed at the fairly new player, who might have watched a bit of poker on TV and just started playing with their friends and wants a few tips. So for the moment in the column I’m generally advocating caution and covering basics – it’s a way of trying to help people avoid losing all their money in their first few weeks or months playing the game! If the links are going up on the Hendon Mob page, I hope I don’t get a flood of people shouting at me on the forum – ‘What do you MEAN, pass A9 before the flop?’ and that kind of thing. This isn’t complex stuff to be debated by people who have already been playing for years – it’s just start-up tips and ways not to go broke.
