A lot of gambling related themes, e.g. NHL Gambling Probe and the introduction of legislation banning Internet Gambling, have been much debated for the last few months. The article “Should Online Gambling Be Banned?” in the Wall Street Journal issued on the 4th of April, 2006 cites Rep. James A. Leach, a Republican from Iowa, who says that it is not accidentally that the supporters of the legislation he has introduced are the representatives of every major sport organization: NFL, MLB, NHL, NBA, NCAA. Thus it means that they do not support Internet Gambling. At the same time they do not mind the British Columbia Lottery Corporation allowing residents to wager on a number of sports. E.g. they ran a promotion for “March Madness” until the 3rd of April where the following text could be seen: “It’s all about hoops: 64 teams, 61 games, March 16 – April 3. Bet on all the big games with Sports Action Oddset and Point Spread below”. If you wish you can check it out for yourself at https://playnow.bclc.com/BCCF/forwardIndexSportsAction.do

So, it is natural that people start doubting whether the pro sports organizations support Internet gambling or not.

Rep. Leach also says that real brick-and-mortar casinos can keep children and unreliable gamblers away, while Internet casinos cannot.

At the same time as they say, British Columbia seems to be able to monitor the web; states like New York and Illinois are seriously regarding the opportunity of offering their lotteries online to the state residents.

Representatives of the major sports leagues seem to be displeased and in their letter dated February 1, 2006 to Congress stated the following: “Sports gambling threatens the character of team sports. Our games stand for the values of clean and healthy competition, and rewarding teamwork, preparation and honest effort. When sports gambling is prevalent, the games begin to represent a “quick fix”, the desire to get something for nothing, and even corruption. Allowing rampant sports gambling can cause a cynical and suspicious perception of athletic events, in place of the traditional American values they should represent”.

But on the other hand the Major League Baseball league has recently introduced the Red Sox Instant Ticket. It appeared on sale on the 11th of April as a result of an agreement between the Lottery and Scientific Games which is the world’s largest instant ticket producer. Being Scientific Games’ licensing subsidiary, MDI Entertainment not so much time ago entered into a relationship with MLB to offer league and team logos to lotteries for use on instant tickets. Thus, the Massachusetts Lottery is the first in the country to produce an instant ticket in accordance with this new agreement. As a result it seems that MLB supports US gambling.

It is believed that the Los Angeles Clippers of the NBA are being sponsored by ActionPoker.com, and even the writer himself witnessed the game in which the announcer promoted the online poker site scrolling banners that featured the URL. To make sure that it’s really so you can visit an official NBA site (http://www.nba.com/clippers/news/actionpoker_offer_060130.html) where you can observe ActionPoker.com giving competitors the chance either to win Clippers courtside seats or the trip to Las Vegas by having logged onto ActionPoker.com, entered in the code 1ACTION and started playing. For more details go to http://www.actionpoker.com/form/clippers.html.

“This encourages widespread gambling by minors and young adults…” – these are the words from the February 1st Pro Sports letter that were also addressed to Congress.  This seems to prove that pro sports organizations are against children playing, but once during a hockey game a boy in his early tens was a given a chance to take part in the game where he had to decide whether the next drawn card was going to be of a higher or lower value, and his face was shown live on a big screen, and it could be observed by thousands of other children. That game is called Hi-Lo, and who will deny the fact that it is gambling. So, what we observe now is that even NHL teaches children how to gamble.

To get comments the organizations like BCLC, MLB, NHL, NCAA, NFL and NBA have been contacted, but none replied!

Bingo.com, Ltd. being the operator of the World’s largest Bingo Hall has announced its final results for the fourth quarter and year end December 31, 2005. All amounts are given in US dollars and are based on the US generally accepted accounting principles. The 2005 fiscal year facts are:

Revenue increased up to $ 1,981,061 (to compare, in 2004 it made up $ 1,158,620)
Revenue in the fourth quarter amounted to $ 654,438 while in the third quarter in 2005 it amounted to $ 465,733, which is a 41% increase.
Fourth quarter gaming revenue went up to $ 353,348 thus it is 79% more than in the third quarter gaming revenue when it was $ 197,873 (this increase is due to an increase in the number of cash bingo players).
Net profit in 2005 made up $ 120,790.

During the year ended December 31, 2005, the company introduced traditional bingo for cash to the players. Their revenue from the cash bingo gaming operations ran as high as $594,582 for the year ended December 31, 2005.  Simultaneously advertising revenue increased to $1,386,479 for the year ended December 31, 2005, that is a 20% increase over revenue of $1,158,620 for the same period in 2004. The Company made advertising revenue equal to $301,090 in the fourth quarter of 2005, an increase of 12% from advertising revenue of $267,860 in the third quarter of 2005. The Company’s advertising revenue was earned from the sale of advertising on its Web portal, www.bingo.com, which experienced strong traffic throughout the year.

The 2005 operating costs before interest, depreciation and amortization expenses went up to $1,409,739, from $692,952 for the previous year, an increase of 103%. Operating costs before interest, depreciation and amortization expenses were $479,781 for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, an increase of 96% compared to expenses of $244,628 for the same period in the previous year and an increase of 45% compared to expenses of $329,936 in the third quarter of 2005. The increase in operating costs compared to the previous year has been achieved mainly due to the commencement of the cash bingo operations during the 2005 fiscal year, especially incentive bonuses used in player acquisition and customer relations staff. Interest, depreciation and amortization totaled $48,160 and $8,066 for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2005, respectively, compared to $341,576 and $7,615 for the year and quarter ended December 31, 2004, respectively. The 85% decrease in inter
est, depreciation and amortization for the 2005 fiscal year is explained by the conversion of both Debenture A and Debenture B into the Company’s shares during the year ended December 31, 2005.

As it has already been mentioned, the Company ended the 2005 fiscal year with a net income of $120,790, or $0.00 per share. That is considered to be an improvement compared to a net loss of $71,640, or $0.00 per share for the prior fiscal year. The net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 ran as high as $40,095 – that is a 37% decrease over the net income of $63,591 for the same period in the previous year. This decrease in net income is explained by the increased costs incurred in the commencement of gaming operations in 2005.

The Company’s CEO, Tarrnie Williams stated that 2005 was a very special year, as their online gaming strategy proved to be a success and has evidently grown since its launch. He added that with their reduced reliance on advertising revenues, they are about “to increase their marketing efforts and drive significant traffic into the cash games”. Obviously, 2006 is expected to be a record year for online bingo and Bingo.com.
