Leave a reply

The recently formed at the Cambridge University Engineering Department company called Featurespace is developing a software program to help protect online casino players from fraud.

Having partnered with King.com specializing in skill games, Featurespace started working at software that has to protect players using King.com from computer bots that might try to compete with human players for cash prizes. At the moment lots of casinos are concerned about this issue.

Featurespace is a small company with 15 employees. The company is currently looking for more software engineers to work further in software development for online casinos and other industries.

The software is supposed to work based on behavior patterns that it will look for. Analyzing statistics the program determines if behavior is normal or not and then shows if fraud is occurring.

Featurespace was slow at the beginning, but now it is booming, and it is likely that very soon e will hear more news about them.

Illegal Gambling Thrives in Russia

Leave a reply

The decision to move land gambling venues from major cities to remote regions of Russia resulted in a hole in the Russian gambling industry that is rapidly filled with illegal online casino gambling operations.

Making this decision, the Russian government hoped that it would help solve the problem of gambling addiction, but it did not, as lots of small gambling parlors have turned into “internet cafes” offering access to the online casinos, lottery and instant betting games. But because Russia does not allow legalized and licensed internet gambling, all of the sites offering gambling services to Russians are offshore gaming sites that are harder to catch and stop.

Major concerns for the online gambling industry are coming. A few months ago Russia announced their decision to stop online gambling their country. Poland is following Russia in their decision to stop online gambling. So are Israel and India.

Online Vegas Casino began a holiday weekend tournament called “See You in December Weekend Madness Tournament” in which all players including those from the UK will be able to take part.

To enter the competition, players have to deposit $13.99. Then players are given $325 as a starting balance. To qualify for any winnings, players should wager at least 20 times. If $325 are not enough to wager, players can buy back in for $13.99. As a result they get another $325 but will have to wager 20 times more.

Players who want to win a pot must play The Reel Deal – one of the best slot machines for bonus features offered online. 300 top players will get a payout. The first place winner will earn $21K, while those in the 300th place will get $20.

If you think that the $13.99 fee is a little high for you, you can surf the online casino lobby for other tournaments.

Revenues Drop

Leave a reply

It is not a secret that CryptoLogic, online casino software development company, has had a couple of rough years because of regulatory changes within several global markets and problems within the upper level of management. Global economic recession has also played a huge role in the current position of the company in the online gambling market. Thus, this quarter’s revenues for Cryptologic are much lower even in comparison with the last year (32% down from the previous 2008 quarter that reported more than $14 million in revenues).

However, Cryptologic is not the only company experiencing hard times. Online casinos within global markets have been constantly reporting drops in growth figures.

Rugby Team Partners with Sportingbet

Leave a reply

The UK rugby team, Hull Kingston Rovers, is accepting sponsorship with online casino operator Sportingbet. The operator’s logo will appear on Hull’s jerseys, throughout the home stadium and on the Hull website. The online casino, in its turn, will carry Hull news and promotions on its own sites and feature betting services for Hull fans.

Hull Kingston Rovers is not the only European sports team that has entered into a sponsorship arrangement with an online casino operator. And that shows a totally different attitude from the US sport approach denying fan betting and legalization of gambling.

There is an assumption that this new policy will affect only new internet gamblers from the USA, but the existing Golden Casino account holders will be able to gamble on the site.
