The Los Angeles Times has recently reported that the Morongo Band of Mission Indians is making an attempt to consolidate it’s efforts to get the state of California, to give them exclusivity on intrastate legalised online poker.

Earlier this year the Morongo Band representatives were at the first hearings in the Senate opposing any attempt by Barney Frank to regulate online gambling in the USA. Mr. Frank challenged their position as being one which in had selfish gain in mind. The band were opposed to regulation because they felt it would be unfair to existing gambling operations in California that provide profit to the Mission Indians.

The newspaper reported that, with the state of California in serious budget deficit a consortium that includes the Morongo Band of Mission Indians and a group of casinos is offering Californian leaders a portion of the money to be made if they allow Web based poker sites to operate legally. The newspaper reveals the importance of the online gambling market and it’s money earning possibilities. Morongo spokesperson, Patrick Dorinson said the consortium proposes that the state regulate such games in California to “ensure their legitimacy and protect players privacy,” and that a measure of the revenue be shared with the state.

Online gambling expert Professor I. N. Rose has advised the Commerce Casino, a card club involved with the Morongo, that California would be exempt from federal restrictions if the businesses were operated entirely within state lines and made it’s product available only to citizens of California. State law in California gives Indian tribes the exclusive right to operate electronic games of chance. Attorneys for the Federal government feel different about the proposal and advise that the state lawmakers should be careful not to violate the current laws.

It is estimated that as many as four hundred different groups may apply for licences to operate internet based card games which may or may not become legal and regulated in the state of California USA.

 According to the Business Mirror which comes to the world via Philippine Business Daily Mirror Publishing, Inc., in Makati City, Philippines, the Cagayan unique zone defies the global downturn in the economy. The district of Cesa, because it is a free port, operates similar to Hong Kong, Singapore, Labuan in Malaysia or Hamburg in Germany. 

It is the only economic zone in the Philippines with the legal capacity to host and issue licenses to offshore companies for the purpose of web gambling. The zone has been declared Asia’s first and only interactive gaming jurisdiction by the International Association of Gaming Resources. Online-gambling licenses are given only to offshore-based corporations so as not to overlap the operations of Pagcor, the only national agency allowed to operate gambling in the country. The idea of proxy players who represent foreign clients or players are the only ones allowed to place bets in the facility. Only foreign clients or players who are brought in or introduced by agents of a licensed operator are allowed to play.

The development of the IT facilities and telecommunications has been a priority for the regional government. Infrastructure costs have run into the millions proving that this area is committed to creating a vital long term economy based on online gambling. According to the in depth article from the Business Mirror over 47 Online Gambling Lottery Licenses have been issued by First Cagayan, a Filipino corporation with more applicants waiting. The fee is $40,000, with $25,000 refundable should the applicant not be successful. The application fee includes the first year’s annual fee. In the second and subsequent years, annual fees are set at $40,000 per annum, and includes up to $15,000 as an advance against future taxes. Ceza tax per operation is set at 2 percent of the gross win. Gaming licenses are granted only after the operator’s gaming software has been tested and certified. Operators are also required to maintain a buffer of funds to meet pay outs to players.

Multiple Best Online Casino award winner 32Red.com announced today that they will celebrate Ryan Moore’s 32nd win in the 32Red.com Flat Jockey Championships with a £1,000 donation to the Injured Jockeys Fund.

32Red Chief Executive Officer, Ed Ware commented, “32Red Online Casino is delighted to be the first sponsors of this prestigious racing accolade and it’s with pleasure that today we announce a £1,000 donation to the Injured Jockeys Foundation on behalf of Ryan Moore to mark his 32nd win in the 32Red.com Flat Jockeys Championships. We look forward to the remainder of the flat season and wish the best of luck to all jockeys.”

Championship leader, Ryan Moore said, “I’m delighted to reach 32 winners so quickly in the season. Its fantastic news that 32Red are donating to the IJF, which is obviously a cause close to my heart. I’ll be trying my utmost to be Champion again this season and I’m currently on course to achieve it.”

The Flat Jockey Championship 2009 is a competition won by the flat jockey who achieves the most winning rides on flat and all-weather race courses from 22 March to 08 November, 2009. Last year’s champion was Ryan Moore, who managed to ride 186 winners in the 2008 flat season.

Professional Jockeys Association, CEO, Josh Apiafi, stated, “The 32Red.com Flat Championship promises to be very exciting this year with the title being very open and within the reach of several of our leading Flat Jockeys.”

Ryan was the favourite as the stalls opened in March and with his win rate he will be hard to beat. The feature meetings at Epsom, Ascot and Goodwood could change things. With many races still to be run it would only take a winning streak from one of the other worthy contenders to make the finishing results look different.

Mark Quayle, Head of Marketing for 32Red Online Casino said, “The development of 32Red’s association with British horseracing has been cemented over the years by a number of race sponsorships, including the Group One 32Red.com Cheveley Park Stakes last season at Newmarket. The 32Red.com Flat Jockey Championships reaffirms this and we are proud that we can associate the best in racing with the best in gaming following our successful retention of the Best Casino award this year.”

Bwin Interactive Entertainment is an Austrian company that operates under international and regional licences in countries like Gibraltar, the Amerindian reserve of Kahnawake in Canada, Belize, Germany, Italy, Mexico, Croatia, and the UK. The Group which has been listed on the Vienna stock exchange since March 2000 offers sports betting, poker, and casino gaming with most of it’s revenue coming from poker.

PokerRoom was one of the first online poker sites to provide multi-language support, today it caters to Danish, German, Spanish, French, Italian, Russian and Swedish speakers, these languages are accessed via ‘regional sites’ many of them showing local sponsoring for the selected region. PokerRoom has won industry awards such as Poker Site of the Year from the UK Gambling Awards in 2006 and Top Poker Software from the Online Gambling Magazine Awards in 2005.

Recently, PokerRoom.com players have been offered incentives by the poker room to transfer their accounts to bwin or simply cash out.

PokerRoom was one of the first online wagering sites to offer a total internet play format. With no download, it allowed customers to play anywhere on any computer. It was also one of the innovators of realistic avatars, something that is common place now but wasn’t there before.

Bwin’s take over of PokerRoom is a good move that will assure participants the same excellent play that PokerRoom provided. Being absorbed by bwin, the largest live and online gambling service provider in the world and the largest operator in Europe can’t hurt the PokerRoom reputation. When it comes to recognizable brands bwin takes the lead in sports sponsorship in Europe, also making great strides in keeping sports safe from the influence of gambling.

CryptoLogic’s former CEO, Javaid Aziz, demanded the firing of one board member. CryptoLogic then sent a letter to Mr. Aziz on February 22 and gave him until 5:00 pm Eastern Time on February 23 to advise the company of how he intended to address “deficiencies in his requisitions”. This has not  played out well on the online gambling global scene where competitor, Playtech, has taken full advantage of Cryptologic’s current vulnerabilities.

CryptoLogic Limited has with Marvel Entertainment created popular casino games and slots involving Marvel’s superheroes. A new deal between Marvel and Playtech allows the rival gambling software company to use the same characters that CryptoLogic once had exclusive access to.

Now the software and game developer has signed a new deal with DC Comics, bringing the superheroes known on an iconic basis not controlled by Marvel to the company’s games. DC’s Batman and Superman characters gives CryptoLogic the ability to transform all of our favourite superhero comic characters into casino games. 

Playtech’s new arrangement with Marvel will upset CryptoLogic plans to corner the superhero cache.  Now Playtech can use such characters as the Incredible Hulk and the X-Men.

CryptoLogic’s deal with Marvel expires in 2010 and unless an extension can be agreed on, CryptoLogic now faces the possibility of aligning with DC against Marvel and Playtech. Alleged mismanagement has resulted in the software firm losing some of its key clients including William Hill.

Recently the company has release another round of new games continuing a period of aggressive activity for CryptoLogic, which has both released games and signed new licensing agreements at a rapid pace.

Brian Hadfield, CEO of CryptoLogic said, “”CryptoLogic’s branded casino games remain the bread and butter of our business and the keys to our profitability and growth in 2009 and beyond.”

The liberating move last year by Google UK (see previous Online-Casinos.com/InfoPowa reports) which saw the opening of Adwords bidding to online gambling companies, has been extended to allow UK affiliate marketers, enabling them to bid on gambling terms,” eGaming Review reports this week.

Google originally lifted its long-standing global ban on pay-per-click (PPC) advertising by UK gambling companies in November 2008, but affiliates were unable to enter the bidding for the top spots.

EGR reports that companies are currently making adjustments to relevant affiliate policies, including Google’s review of positive and negative keyword lists which show what and what not to bid on.
