Apologies for the lack of posts over the last week - but I've been in for a little hospital visit that I've had coming up.An old football injury has finally made me agree that I need to go under the knife, and I've been lucky enough to get a top knee man to sort out my (non-existant) ligaments.Apparantly they use bits of your hamstring to build new ones these days, which I must admit sounds very inventive, but also a little bit painful. I last visited a hospital when I was about 8 so I was NOT looking forward to this.The good news is that he says that I may be able to play football in 6-9 months - assuming that I could actually play football before of course ...I hope to got out just before Easter, and have been hobbling about but not spending much time online - as i couldn't quite get my knee under the desk.

Is Mobile Gambling Safe

Posted by Peter Santino on May 27, 2011 at 6:35pm

There has been concerns recently regarding viruses, trojans, spyware and malware on the mobile internet, raising questions regarding mobile casinos. This has prompted us to clarify any concerns. Mobile users have been asking us how safe is the mobile casino software. If you have already or are thinking about downloading a mobile casino to your mobile device, albeit a standard mobile, iPhone, iPad and Smartphones, there are a few points to give you peace of mind.

These key points we hope will ease your concerns and help you identify safe and reliable mobile casino brands. You should look to see that the brands clearly state they use the latest mobile encryption technology to protect your login, password and private information. The same technology protects your account funding, deposits and withdrawals made from your mobile device.

So how do you know if a mobile casino uses safe and secure encryption technology?. Usually they will clearly state the use of this technology and guarantee your privacy. If they don’t, then walk away. Also all good brands will also state they use the latest antivirus and antispyware software; which runs on their servers. Most mobile casinos do care about their customers and do a lot to ensure that customers information and their mobile devices are protected from nasty viruses, worms, trojans etc.

One more good point worth mentioning is an organisation that keep a very close eye on the internet gaming industry, eCORGA, who regularly check operators for fair play, honesty, customers privacy and more. Any mobile casino brand displaying the eCORGA Seal of Approval are definitely safe.

So we hope the above information helps you decide to give mobile casinos a go and enjoy this new and exciting way to entertain yourselves and win real cash.

Sports Betting News in Maine, Washington & Washington DC

Posted by JTodd on February 18, 2020 at 8:09pm

Sports betting news is making the rounds this week, as Maine is on-again, off-again when it comes to wagering on sporting events. Plus, Washington, D.C.can’t seem to get regulation working… and it’s costing them money. And sports betting news suddenly appears in Washington state!

Hello friends and welcome to This Week in Gambling! I have returned from my conference in the United Kingdom just in time to bring you this week’s big story:

Several months ago we reported the big sports betting news from Maine, where legislation had passed both the State House and Senate and advanced all the way to the governor’s desk needing only a signature to become law… but then…

Several weeks ago we reported that the governor said ‘not so fast, and vetoed the bill instead of signing it… meaning sports betting for all practical purposes was dead in the state… but then…

Several days ago we reported that the state Senate had decided to override the governor’s veto and send the legislation back to the House for approval, meaning sports betting was once again alive in Maine! Alive! BUT THEN…

The House screwed the pooch, so to speak, failing to muster enough votes to set aside the governor’s veto and pass the measure into law. Meaning, once again, sports betting was dead. This is your tax dollars at work!

Meanwhile, sports betting news on the east coast of America in Washington DC, sports wagering legislation has been passed for quite some time. But fighting over the best way to regulate the activity has kept it in limbo… although for players in DC, it feels more like the Hokey Pokey. And because of the dillying and the dallying and the delays Washington DC missed the biggest sports betting day of the year: the Superbowl! And by some estimates that could have cost the District about half a million bucks! So once again, your tax dollars at work!

And on the west coast of the US, in the other Washington, a sports betting bill has just been passed out of committee and sent to the State House for approval… but don’t get excited just yet. You see even if the bill does pass a House vote it would still have to be approved by the Senate and be signed by the governor all before March 13th… and any good sports bettor can tell you, those are some pretty long odds.

America’s Next Online Gambling Threat

Posted by JTodd on March 3, 2020 at 10:26pm

Gambling news this week finds a new online gambling threat to the regulated industry in the United States for the third year in a row. Senator Tom Cotton says he is trying to use the enforcement of the UIGEA to push consumer protections in gambling advertising. However, the darker side to his legislation finds ways to block online gambling payments.

Hello friends, and welcome once again to This Week in Gambling! Seems like we just did this a week ago… and yet here we are again! No matter! Let’s get started with this week’s big story! And hold on to your butts, it’s a little complicated.

Every year it seems someone gets a bug up their rear end and tries to make a name for themselves by picking up the gauntlet against online gambling and pandering to special interests. Why should this year be any different?

There’s a new anti-online gambling bill up on Capitol Hill and this year’s poster boy for decency and morality is Senator Tom Cotton from the state of Arkansas! And before you ask, yes… Yes! Those are his real ears! He’s pushing legislation that’s earmarked with ignorance.Pun intended!

The Prevention of Deception and Child Targeted Advertising in Violation of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act… is the short name for the shit Mr. Cotton is shoveling. And it is fundamentally flawed right from the beginning. Let me explain… and I’ll use small words in case anyone from Congress is watching.

Now Mr. Cotton says he’s pushing this bill forward in order to protect the children and consumers… which sounds great on the surface. But dig a little deeper, and in reality this bill is commissioning a study on how internet gaming sites conduct their financial transaction so that in the future they can block them!

You see, the UIGEA permits states to regulate online gambling if they want to do so! And that’s exactly what Nevada, Delaware, New Jersey, Pennsylvania and others have done! So you see, the UIGEA can only be enforced in states where internet gambling is unlawful. You know, NOT regulated!

This legislation is based wholly on the enforcement aspect of the UIGEA, and in states where online gambling is regulated there is no enforcement of the UIGEA! In states where online gambling is NOT regulated there’s no advertising! There’s no financial transactions! There’s nothing to study! Like many things in politics this bill seems to be more about garnering votes and grabbing special interest cash than it is and actually accomplishing anything.

Look, I’m a father of four beautiful girls. I’m 100% behind child protection when it comes to gambling, but that’s not what this bill is about! In reality this is just a thinly veiled backdoor attempt by the Sheldon Adelson party to perpetuate their anti online gambling agenda. And as for Mr. Cotton? Well don’t worry too much about him. I mean, one good gust of wind and he could be drifting over Canada!

February done and dusted

Posted by The Gooner on March 1, 2008 at 1:08am

Well a reasonable February for the business - with sports turnover continuing on it's merry way helped a great deal by the return of the UEFA Champions League and of course the SuperBowl.Poker and Casino turnover seemed to be down a little bit across the board - perhaps the economic news from the US and across Europe made people think twice about wagering their spare cash?My favourite football side Arsenal are starting to struggle as injuries and a tight schedule start to hit and March is going to be a vital time if the Gunners are going to win a trophy this season ...Bring it on.

The start of my poker career. Boy I had a lot to learn!

Posted by Pokerchix on February 28, 2008 at 9:05pm

Where do I start. I guess I will start at what got me into playing poker other than the fact my Dad had been playing it for years and I was raised with the gambling aspect in the household. By the time I was 12 I was dealing at the local Domino Hall and earning tips! Heck I had nothing else to do, so I just went with my Dad everywhere.After college I got a job at Nestle but was living at home. So I started playing poker online because I was bored at night. It was mostly play money and freerolls because I am pretty tight with my money and didn't really trust the online sites. I won some pretty good money on different sites and felt pretty confident in my game. Boy did I have so much more to learn.I ended up getting fired from Nestle after 6 years of employment because I called one of my bosses a mother f***** Well...HE WAS!! The second day after that I got extremely sick and missed about a week of work. So they didn't fire me right away...but after I got back from being sick, which by the way was stress related. They let me go. But they agreed to pay me unemployment and I had over 10K in my 401plan. So I was set for awhile without a job.Winstar Casino that sits on the border of Oklahoma and Texas, had just opened a poker room. Dad had already been going there and playing. I had won a trip to Curacao (which is island in the southern part of the Caribbean Sea off the west coast of Venezuela) playing on JetSet. So when I got back I was ready to hit Winstar and start playing. I had no job and about 19K coming in, so I thought I was set.I started out driving the hour drive to Winstar everyday to play 1/2NL and was getting my ass handed to me in each session. I was extremely careless with my bankroll because I didn't know better. Hell I could lose 1K a night and it didn't even phase me...if you look at it...you have 19K..that is only 19 sessions! WTF,..I was so ignorant.Well Dad was rooting for me. He had faith in me and I think he was living his dream through me. So he sat me down one night and started telling me that I had to play Limit poker first. Then once I completely understood Limit poker then I would be ready for No Limit. He was right. I can play NL online for some reason. But live? It is a bit different. Now keep in mind, I am not in Vegas, there are no good tournaments at Winstar. So I had not even started my tournament career yet. I was just a cash game player.Once Dad got on my side, the next thing I know we are moving the RV to Thackerville Oklahoma and that is where I will stay for the next year. And I gotta tell ya...there ain't crap in Thackerville Oklahoma. Although...they just arrested a whole bunch of people out there that had an illegal horse track running (bush track). THAT made the evening news. Hell, people were running across I35 trying to get away from the police LOL. It was great.Now back to the story.... I was not taking care of my Bankroll. Your bankroll is your life!!! I could kick myself now for all the fcked up mistakes I have made. I had a check coming in every two weeks and I had my 401K check coming soon. So I would get my check and go to the casino. I did not limit myself to what I would lose and I did not get up from the table when I was up. You know what I mean? Keep in mind. I was playing 4/8 Limit. So it is not like you can make 2K a night on a 4/8 limit table. You might could make that if the table has a KILL button, but you are doing good if you double your buyin. I would buy in for 200 bucks and if I lost it...I would buy in again.It is extremely easy to lose 200 bucks on a 4/8 limit table. Think about it. One hand can cost you 20 bucks. This is not including your blinds. The flop comes...it cost you 4.00 to see a turn. The turn comes...it cost you 8.00 bucks to see the river, the river comes, it cost you another 8 bucks to see who has the best hand. That's 20 bucks. This does not include any raises. So basically, you have 10 hands to play and if you lose all 10 hands, you are out. Some people say this is why it is better to play No Limit. But on the same note, you could get involved in ONE hand playing No Limit and push all in, you lose, you are out. Atleast in Limit, you can get out before it cost you anymore or you can lose and regroup and possibly make your money back.I was not looking at that side of the game yet. I also was not taking into consideration the players I was playing against. I also was not changing tables when I got on a bad table. There was so many elements that I know now that I did not know then. I guess that is what comes with experience. I did not have that experience or knowledge. So I was going in there half cocked and ready to play.You are also playing players that are not doing this for a living. So when they come to play poker, they want to gamble, they want to bet. The minute they get an Ace card, regardless of the kicker, they are going to play and probaly raise! When your sitting over there on Pocket Kings and you raise preflop to 8 bucks...because they have that Ace, they reraise you to 12 bucks...and then you cap it at 16 bucks...and you will have atleast another caller in the mix. So now you have two people you are going against. Your odds have decreased. The flop comes and they hit bottom pair with their A 4os...YOU CAN NOT get them to fold....2 things happen almost all the time. The Ace will come on the river or they hit another 4. So does that give you an idea of the type of player you are going against on a 4/8 Limit table in Oklahoma? You can not get them to fold and you can not bluff them. You can try....but you will go broke. On a 4/8 table...you basically need to flop the nuts to make money on a hand.Now don't get me wrong. I did bet on the come alot...like on a nut flush or an open ended straight. I would catch my card and scoop a nice pot. When I would get on a good table of guys that I had played with before, it was easy to bluff them. But those sessions were few and far between. I think the most I made in one session on a 4/8 table was 800 bucks. But 800 bucks was only 4 days of buy ins. Again...BANKROLL!!!Another advantage I have is that I am a woman. Men tend to play soft against a woman. And once you become their friend, you can bluff them a bit easier. All I had to do was bat my eyes and crack a smile and alot of them would fold. But these are guys I had been playing with for awhile...they knew my style. They knew I did not get involved in a hand unless I had something. I was not known as a bluffer. So it became easy for me to bluff a table.Now remember, at this time of my poker life I had a bankroll and was not worried about money. So it was fun and I was careless. I was not serious. Did not even know the word bankroll let alone how important every penny of your bankroll would end up being. Some days I would win, some days I would lose....who cared!! I had another check coming.......

Casino review

Check out the new review of Rushmore Casino

Hello All !

Posted by Cindy OShea on December 8, 2009 at 8:01pm

Glad to be back as a member - I was a member of APCW years ago when I had my first gaming site. After three years of absence; I'm back. In all the years that I have been a participant in the gaming world, I have found that this group of people are kind and genuinely care about those who are involved in this community as well as their own repective associations.It's great to have a place where players and affiliates can come and talk about the issues surrounding the current legal climate in the online gaming industry as well as other concerns. Getting peer feedback and advice is essential to making the best out of what we do.

Poker, Sports Betting and Online Gambling News

Posted by JTodd on February 11, 2020 at 6:40pm

We have a week full of online gambling news with headlines about online gambling in Michigan, sports betting in Kentucky, poker in California, and tribal gaming in Oklahoma!

Hello friends and welcome to This Week in Gambling! Our last show before I take a week off to attend the International Casino Expo in London, England. So, I’m filming this early on Saturday, so if something happens… some major big gambling story breaks between now and Tuesday… don’t come yelling at me!

This week’s stories begin in the state of Michigan, where online gambling news was good recently. Legislators had passed an internet gambling bill, but the rules to regulate the activity will not be in place for at least another year! But hey, what do you expect from a state whose motto is literally “Land of Disappointment”?

Next up, its sports betting news from the state of Kentucky. Optimism has turned to pessimism in the Bluegrass State as sports betting regulation was expected to pass, but now rumor has it the legislation will never make it out of the Senate.

Also, poker news from the state of California where “alleged” Poker cheat Mike Postle was finally served papers in the $10 million lawsuit against his sorry ass. He had been hiding in his house for the past several months to avoid this, but he emerged and got served! Then, of course, he saw his shadow and went back inside because, you know… six more weeks of winter.

Also this week, land-based gaming news from the state of Oklahoma, where the governor says that Tribal casinos in his state are now operating illegally because their Tribal Gaming Compact expired on January 1st. Not-so say Tribal gaming leaders… they contend that their compact automatically renewed on January 1st and they’re doing nothing wrong.

I have two new game reviews to share with you this week, and if you like gems in your slots pay attention… these are for you! First up its Grand Gems, a 5 reel, 4 row game with 40 paylines from SYNOT. It comes with wilds, scatters, a bonus round, free spins and multiple with re spins which freeze their winning combinations!

Next up it’s simply Gemmed! from our friends at BetSoft! This 9 real, 9 row game also comes with wilds, scatters and an incredible 40,500 Paylines! You can find both of these reviews on our YouTube channel, along with hundreds more! And while you’re there, do us a favor! Show us some love! Take a moment to click that subscribe button! Don’t forget, no online gambling news next week as I travel.

VC Poker Review was added to 777-Online-Gambling.Net

Posted by Aksana on March 17, 2008 at 1:30pm

Ok, today I've finally reviewed and added VC Poker to my site. I have been having this task in my plans for so long that today I've sat down and done it. What I like in VC Poker is that players can receive $35 no deposit bonus or 300% sign up bonus up to $600 free, these bonuses are available only through affiliate links.If a player doesn't want to visit VC poker through an affiliate link he or she can receive 100% welcome bonus up to $200 free or 200% sign up bonus up to $600 free.And it seems that VC Poker has changed its software, I thought it used BossMedia, now VC Poker uses Playtech.Unfortunately VC Poker doesn't accept US players.Read the full review here
