The Pit Falls and Wind Falls of webcam casino bonuses
Written by WagerX.com Staff Date: July 18th, 2007 Everyone knows that web based online casino bonus is offered to get you to try their casino. These are fine if you know what your doing, and how you are going to us your bonus. Unfortunetely, due to no fault of the casinos, players get frustrated when they don’t have reasonable expectations on what their bonuses are. In a word, bonuses are not free. Bonuses aren’t free money. Bonuses are more like contracts between the player and the casino. The “contract” has terms and conditions that both parties have to adhere to in order for the bonus to fully be realized and both parties happy. On the one side you have the player, who in exchange for playing a certain way, for a certain amount of time, he will get his bonus amount. Quite often a high roller who knows what he is doing will be able to play through the bonus requierements and still be ahead. On the other end of the deal is the casino, who’s goal is to reward first time players or reward loyal customers who play with them frequently. Now, you can’t just claim a casino bonus and then expect to walk away. To prevent this, the casino established play through criteria to make sure that there is a fair amount of casino action before the bonus is released. The requirements are called play through requierements. Play through Requierment: The average is 15-35X of your deposit, and sometimes it can be as much as 50-60X depending on what games played and where you are from. Here’s a typical bonus scenario. Let’s say a real webcam casino is giving you a sign up bonus of 100% up to $600. Sounds great doesn’t it? Well most people don’t know that if you accept the bonus you have to play through either the bonus amount or the combination of the bonus amount and the deposit a factor of thirty times or more depending on the casino you are at. You deposit $600 you get $600. So now you are playing with a total of $1200. If the play through is a factor of 30 then you make bets totaling more than 30X$1200 which in this case is $36,000. It may not sound like much, but when you are playing a game that has a payout of 95% then you’ll statistically consume through the bonus and the deposit before the play through criteria is met. Let’s say you’ve played and have the amount up to $54,000 and only played through $7000 of the original balance plus deposit. If this were the case then you wouldn’t be able to withdraw the money from the webcam casino until you’ve met the play through requirements. This is why I recommend that you may want to start your gaming experience by not taking the bonus. This will give you the freedom to leave the table with your money whenever you want. This is specially so for players who like to play casino slots. Opting out of the bonuses by not accepting it could be the best way of preserving your balance and increasing your chances of hitting it big (ie. Progressive slots etc. ). There are exceptions with certain casinos that offer a low play through criteria and allow you to play high payout games like baccarat and blackjack. If in the case above you are given a play through requirement of 20 times the deposit and bonus and were required to play a total of $1200 before withdrawing you have a statistically better chance of making money with baccarat which has an extremely high payout of more than 99% if played currently. This would mean that you could play through the $12000 requirement way before you statically ran out of money. That’s why it’s important to pick your bonuses carefully before you claim the bonus. Take into consideration the play through requirements and the game you like to play in order to make sure that when it comes time for you to withdraw you will be the winner. If you have any more questions regarding certain games or details of a certain casino programs play through requirements please feel free to email us.
California Tribe Prepares For Online Poker With bwin.party Merger
The United Autumn Indian Community is not waiting for legislation in California before they make a move towards the online gambling industry. With legislation expected this year that would regulate intrastate Internet wagering, the California tribe has become proactive by partnering with bwin.party.Bwin is known as one of the largest Internet gambling providers in the world. The company has dozens of online gambling sites operating in Europe, and they have been seeking a way to enter the US market once the laws are adjusted. The partnership with an Indian tribe will give Bwin the inside track on entering the US market.The California Senate has already started moving on a bill that would allow licensed casinos to start operating online poker rooms. UAIC owns and operates Thunder Valley Casino Resort near Sacramento, and that would give them the right to offer online gambling if the bill in the Senate passes.Bwin is a necessary compliment to the tribal casino, as European-based companies have been operating online casinos for years. One of the biggest fears of companies in the US is that they do not have the platform ready to go when the laws changed. Several US gaming companies have started the trend of partnering with foreign companies last year, and the UAIC is just continuing that trend. Bwin is also excited about the possibility of coming into the US in a place like California.”California is the largest state in the US in terms of population and is known to have a significant number of poker players who like to play poker online,” said Jim Ryan and Norbert Teufelberger, in a statement released after the announcement of the partnership with UAIC. “Combining our own significant assets and resources with those of UAIC will create a strong partnership that is well-placed to seize the opportunities that will arise if appropriate online poker legislation is enacted in the Golden State.”Bwin also has their eyes on the national stage in the US. Federal lawmakers are considering several bills that would change the landscape of Internet gambling in the country. The Department of Justice opened the door for online gambling regulation late last year when they offered an opinion that only sports gambling is illegal under the Wire Act.That opinion has been interpreted by many legal experts as the DoJ reversing their long-standing opinion that all forms of gambling were illegal under the Wire Act.California is not the only state that has started moving towards regulated online poker. Iowa, Hawaii, Florida, and New Jersey also are moving in that direction. Nevada legislators passed an online gambling bill last year. Nevada regulators have started the process of collecting applications for online gambling licenses, and some analysts believe Nevada will have online casinos operational by the end of 2012.

Kentucky Derby Betting Odds: Bodemeister The Favorite
It is for this day, in particular, that Kentucky Governor Steve Beshear has been lobbying to get slot machines at state race tracks. The Kentucky Derby is the most celebrated horse race of the year, and thousands of fans fill the stands hoping to see a glimpse of greatness.Beshear believes that slots would be beneficial to helping the struggling racing industry, and with gamblers packing the grandstand today, Beshear will be reminded of how much revenue could be generated if Churchill Downs offered slot machines like other pari-mutuel facilities are allowed to do around the US.That debate will have to wait for another day. As the horses and their trainers prepare to take center stage for a couple of minutes in American sports later this evening, gamblers are flocking to the ticket window to place their bets on the race. It is Bodemeister that is the betting favorite at 4/1.Bodemeister easily won the Arkansas Derby, giving racing fans a glimpse of what he is capable of. Bodemeister’s stiffest challenge is expected to come from the second choice of odds makers, Union Rags. Bodemeister will break from the sixth post, while Union Rags will run from post four. The middle post does not intimate Union Rags’ trainer Michael Matz.”The horses around him maybe don’t have that much speed, so that pushes us closer to where Bodemeister will be,” said Matz. “It looks like it came up OK. We’ll have to be running from the start.”Other horses expected to make an impact in the derby include Gemotologist at 6/1, Dullahan at 8/1, and Hansen at 10/1. The long shots in the field are Liason, Rousing Sermon, and Optimizer, all at 50/1. There will be twenty horses going to the gate in the Derby, allowing for a first place prize of $1,459,600. The runner-up will win $400,000, and third place will gain a $200,000 prize.The Kentucky Derby starts a seven week stretch where horse racing has the opportunity to make their mark on American sports. After the Derby, the Preakness will be run two weeks from today, and then three weeks after that, the top horses will gather ion New York for the Belmont Stakes. No horse has won the Triple Crown in over 35 years. May 5, 2012Posted By Vincent Tapoglia IIIStaff Editor, CasinoGamblingWeb.comSubmit News!

Free Play Bonuses
Free Play Bonuses
Free Play Bonuses Online casinos have many different types of the no deposit bonuses, but the free play bonuses seem to be one of the most popular choices. I believe it is due to having more money to play with to try and win on the casino games in which could be cashed out. The casinos have been swaying away from the free play bonuses and moving towards free casino spins. There are still quite a few casinos where players can still claim a free play promotion in quite large amounts. Don’t over look the any deposit casino bonuses of other types including free spins and free credits which some of the online casino allow play on the progressive jackpot games where you could become a millionaire. You also may not want to ignore the excellent deposit bonuses with your first purchase where extra cash is added to your initial deposit. All casino bonuses give players more chances to win.
