Zynga Gives Strongest Endorsement Yet For Online Gambling

Zynga Gives Strongest Endorsement Yet For Online Gambling
Zynga has produced some of the most popular games for Facebook users, and the company now has an eye on an even larger market. With the laws clarified in the US to allow online gambling, Zynga announced today that they are seeking partners to enter the Internet gambling world.The game developer became popular with its FarmVille and Zynga Poker games. The games are played by millions of players, and the company has developed a plan to make money by offering additional game aides to help players get farther in the games. In FarmVille, players can purchase credits that can be used to buy certain equipment or land within the game. Although the game is free, Zynga has found a way to corner the market while still creating revenue streams.In recent years, however, Zynga has seen their revenue drop from these games, causing the company to search for different ways to bring in new revenue. The timing could not have been better for Zynga to be expanding into online gambling, with the Department of Justice issuing an opinion late last year declaring online casinos to be legal.”We build games and experiences that our players want and love,” said Zynga, in a statement. “Zynga Poker is the world’s largest online poker game with more than seven million people playing every day and over 30 million each month. We know from listening to our players that there’s an interest in the real money gambling market. We’re in active conversations with potential partners to better understand and explore this new opportunity.”Which company takes the chance on partnering with Zynga is unknown, but the group likely will come from outside the US. Current laws in the US do not have regulations in place for online gambling outside of a few states. Many European countries regulate Internet gambling, and companies based in European countries would have the advantage of already holding online gaming licenses.Other popular games made famous by Zynga are Cafe World, Mafia Wars, and the ever-growing Words With Friends. The additional customers, however, have not translated into increased profits for Zynga, leading to the companies desire to expand into a billion dollar online gambling industry.

Problem Gambling Grouped by Experts with Substance Abuse

Problem Gambling Grouped by Experts with Substance Abuse
Studies have led experts to realize problem gambling is not caused by gaming proliferation, but by a brain imbalance also found in substance abusers. As a result of numerous studies over the last decade, problem gambling is being linked more and more under the larger umbrella of substance abuse. This week, experts on the recognition and treatment of compulsive gambling will meet along with drug and alcohol abuse counselors to discuss solutions at the Midwest Conference on Problem Gambling and Substance Abuse.Theories that problem gambling is caused by exposure to a gaming market that is constantly expanding have largely been debunked by scientific studies. Instead, evidence has consistently arisen that indicates gambling compulsions derive from a similar brain chemistry as substance addiction.Persons suffering from problem gambling were found to have significant differences in dopamine production from the average person. The dopamine receptors are also found to be central in alcoholics and drug addicts.Dopamine levels are believed to help control and modify risk/reward impulses.The studies are revelatory to professionals trying to combat compulsive gambling. Rather than campaigning for gambling bans and fighting casino proliferation, treatment is shifting to addressing a broader issue of addictive behavior.As more information becomes available on what causes such self-destructive behavior, counselors and other experts continue to move toward treating specific symptoms such as problem gambling with a broader program designed to control addictive impulses in general.This week’s problem gambling and substance abuse conference is being held in Knsas City and will open on Wednesday morning. It is free and open to the public. Published on July 26, 2010 by A.J.Maldonado

Connecticut May Turn To Internet Casinos To Stay Ahead In Northeast

Connecticut May Turn To Internet Casinos To Stay Ahead In Northeast
Connecticut Governor Dannel Malloy has sat back and watched in recent years as other Northeastern states have lined up to take business from his state. New gaming laws all across the Northeast have taken gamblers out of Connecticut casinos and moved them to places like Maine, Maryland, New York, and Pennsylvania.Last week, the Department of Justice threw every state in the nation a bone when they issued a legal opinion that excludes casino games from the Wire Act. That declaration allows states to now regulate online gambling within their borders, and Connecticut plans to be one of the first to do so.”Obviously, gaming is an important part of our economy,” said Malloy. “It appears that the only thing the Justice Department has ruled is off the table is sports betting, with the exception of horse betting. So with that one exclusion, everything is up for consideration by the states.”Most states understand that a key to becoming relevant in the online gaming industry will be to become one of the first states to regulate the activity. Malloy claims that Connecticut legislators will take up the issue, possibly as soon as the upcoming session to start the new year. Analysts believe that online gambling could bring tens of millions of dollars in tax revenue to the state.Connecticut’s existing casinos, Mohegan Sun and Foxwoods, seem likely to receive online gaming licenses should the laws change. The two tribal casinos have struggled to keep their customers in recent years, with competition in the Northeast becoming as fierce as anywhere in the country. Tribal executives are now anticipating a change in the current laws.”This is something we’ve been watching,” said Chuck Bunnell, a spokesman for Mohegan Sun. “We’ve been anticipating that the United States would move into this arena.” December 30, 2011Posted By Tom JonesStaff Editor, CasinoGamblingWeb.comSubmit News!

Shocking Admission By Sheldon Adelson Regarding Online Gambling

Shocking Admission By Sheldon Adelson Regarding Online Gambling
It was thought over the past year that the largest gaming companies in Las Vegas had shifted their stance on Internet gambling. Wynn Resorts, MGM Resorts, and Caesars Entertainment have all formally entered into agreements with foreign online gaming companies in anticipation of the US laws changing.On Wednesday, Las Vegas Sands CEO Sheldon Adelson, who has been a pioneer in innovative thinking within the gaming industry, decided to speak out in opposition to online gambling regulations. Adelson’s motives were unclear, but his thought on the issue were not.Adelson claimed, through a spokesman, that he opposed online gambling regulations because he feels there are not enough technological safeguards available to protect against underage gambling. While that is Adelson’s point of view, it has been proven overseas that technology companies do, indeed, have adequate safeguards to prevent underage betting online.In the UK, online gambling is heavily regulated, ensuring that gaming companies cannot target children in their advertisements. The technology calls for several passwords and verifications before a gambler can log into their account and begin betting. The issue is one, however, that is keeping lawmakers from embracing the idea of Internet casinos.On a federal level, a push is being made in Congress to regulate online gambling. The push comes after millions of Americans were locked out of their favorite online poker sites, PokerStars, and Full Tilt Poker, earlier this year. The disgruntled gamblers took to the phones and e-mail accounts to voice their displeasure with the current laws, and legislators have responded by loosening their hard-lined stance against the activity.Several key lawmakers who opposed online gambling in the past have changed their stance. Most notably, Representative Spencer Bachus, who is now open to regulating online poker.US gaming companies have gotten on board with the regulation idea after their land-based casinos saw a sharp decrease in revenue during and continuing after, the recession. Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, representing Nevada, has followed the lead of the gaming companies and is now on board with regulations for online poker. Reid pushed for legislation towards the end of 2010, but it did not gain the traction needed to push a bill through in the lame-duck session.

The Pit Falls and Wind Falls of webcam casino bonuses

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 dont have reasonable expectations on what their bonuses are. In a word, bonuses are not free. Bonuses arent 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, whos goal is to reward first time players or reward loyal customers who play with them frequently. Now, you cant 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. Heres a typical bonus scenario. Lets say a real webcam casino is giving you a sign up bonus of 100% up to $600. Sounds great doesnt it? Well most people dont 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 youll statistically consume through the bonus and the deposit before the play through criteria is met. Lets say youve 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 wouldnt be able to withdraw the money from the webcam casino until youve 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. Thats why its 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.
