As a result of the failure to repay four $100,000 casino loans received on October 18 and 19, 2007, Barkley has faced criminal charges. He admitted his fault saying that he had let the time lapse.

In case Barkley agrees to the standard district attorney’s office restitution program, he could be granted up to six months to pay the $400,000 plus a 10 percent program fee totaling $40,000. If the case remains unresolved, “as many as four felony theft or four felony bad check charges could be filed. The possible penalty for each theft conviction is 1 to 10 years in state prison. A conviction on a felony bad check charge could carry a one- to four-year term”.

Barkley has been gambling for 20 years, and he makes no secret of it. He is known to have gambled about $10 million over the years. Barkley admits that gambling is a bad habit, but he is not going to give up.

What Online Casinos are to Expect if the U.S. Economy Continues to Go Down the Hill

Leave a reply

With the standard life declining, Americans are cutting on their expenses. Gambling for Americans doesn’t seem to be incentive at this hard time. The online casinos have already felt it. What has been noticed is the decline in new players. Some promoters report decline in new sign-up as high as 5-6 times the normal rate.

To increase the player base and allow U.S. customers to stay profitable, online casinos are recommended to increase bonus offers, add new games, decrease cash-out requirements and find new depositing methods. Now, you can find sign-up bonuses as high as $500 or even $555 on player’s first deposit. In case the number of American players is going down, bonus offers are expected to grow as high as $1,000.

To avoid “online casinos gone bad” (small and less know in the online gaming industry making money by not paying out winnings, etc), players are advised to make sure they don’t jump on the first big bonus offer they see or click on the flashing banner. An online casino should be recommended to you by a reputable website.
