Since the 2006 enactment of UIGEA, we have seen several high profile collapses in addition to these voluntary exits. Sites like PokerStars were forced from providing gaming to their large base of US players and other companies like Full Tilt, Ultimate Bet, and Absolute Poker were forced into virtual ghost towns due to seizure of funding targeting payment processors and seemingly illegal transactions between online poker rooms and US players. One could easily say that the once paved road running between legalized online gambling and an in-demand US market full of players was left in rubble.

Whilst this sounds like a lot of doom and gloom, it appears as if the sun has begun to shine or at least is peaking through the clouds as the Department of Justice recently uttered their first musically sounding words since UIGEA went into effect. The DOJ went on the record to lay claims that the Federal Wire Act applied only to sports betting and did not apply to online games unrelated to betting on sports across state borders. This came as great news to online gambling companies as this clearly suggested that those companies not engaging in sports betting were not accountable for crimes under the wire act.

Such an announcement could well have inspired lawmakers in Nevada to begin laying the foundation for legalized online gambling licenced by their state. The Nevada Gambling Commission has begun the process of accepting applications for licencing the rights to offer online poker games. Such movement on these laws deems it only a matter of time before similar laws will be enacted to allow online casino games and online poker games to be offered legally in Nevada and the rest of the USA.

Buying lotto tickets online is one of the safest and easiest ways to give yourself a chance to be a millionaire. Lots of things happen in our lives with places to go and people to see making your life a hectic place to be. And, what that means is it’s easy to forget to buy a lottery ticket one week. If you use the same numbers, what would you feel like if those numbers came up and you hadn’t put a ticket on? It would be sickening, and there’s no doubt about it.

Also, many people have won the jackpot or smaller amounts and not even realized, thrown their ticket away or simply just not claimed it. If you buy online lotto tickets, you’re sent an email with a winner’s confirmation message. You can either claim it online or print off an e-ticket and go to the head office to claim large sums of money. If you’ve won millions, you won’t mind taking the time to head to the claims office and collect your large check, I’m sure.

XBingo was recogized in three different categories, which included “Best Side Games offered by a bingo site” – specifically for their unique selection of slots games. The online slots games they offer at XBingo differs greatly from the other Mandalay owned Bingo sites, which includes metropolitan themed City Bingo, Fancy Bingo, music oriented Sing Bingo, and the 2011 Established Bingo Site of the Year award winner Costa Bingo. These bingo rooms find themselves using bingo games software belonging to Brigend Limited, whilst XBingo was launched using its own unique software that was created in-house and features pieces of some of the best gaming software around.

In addition to the best sidegames award, XBingo was also unanimously named the Best New Bingo Site of 2011 by the Internet Bingo awards site. They were the odds on favourite to win this award, as XBingo proved to be the biggest and most successful debut in the history of online bingo.

XBingo’s third award was won in the Best Bingo Software category. This award came as somewhat of a surprise, as Dragonfish and Brigend Limited – both owned by online gaming specialists 888 – had been regarded as the best and most innovative software providers.

Also picking up awards were PayPal (best payment processor), 888Ladies (best assortment of casino games), and iBingo was recognized as the best in mobile gaming. Playtech sites Ruby Bingo and Bet365 Bingo each picked up awards for best free bingo site and best bingo bonus respectively.

We offer congratulations to XBingo and all the other bingo rooms, operators, processors, and networks who were picked up awards in 2011 and look forward to seeing what 2012 will bring.

If you have not yet signed up to play at the new XBingo room, you can get £5 free for signing up as a new player. When making your first deposit, you will earn 300% in bonus money that gives you up to £100 extra to get started (CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP AT XBINGO NOW).

Each bingo site will have its own criteria of what is required before they consider you to be a VIP, so whatever site you play at you need to check their terms and conditions or Frequently Asked Questions, as what qualifies you as a VIP at one site may not make you a VIP at another one.

The main things that sites take into consideration when deciding if a player is a VIP is their deposit level, the amounts they wager and the length of time they have been playing. They may also look at their participation in the forums and their contribution to chat. Someone who has been playing on a site for a long time, regularly makes deposits, wagers a lot, posts on the forums and is a regular participant on chat has a far greater chance of being granted VIP status than someone who visits the site once a month, deposits £10 just once in a while, and never posts or chats. Of course if you register at a site and regularly deposit £500 every 2 weeks this will probably help your qualification efforts!

When going after the VIP bingo bonuses, you also want to ensure that the site accepts a means of deposit you can live with. For example, if you plan to deposit with PayPal, then it is important that the room you choose is amongst the paypal bingo sites… or sites that take paypal.

Once you have been granted VIP status you will see that there are certain perks that come with this. Again these will vary from site to site but may include enhanced bonuses, exclusive games, advance notice of any promotions, gifts, a designated customer service representative and a different speech colour than non-VIP players. VIP players will often receive special emails and newsletters advising them of any forthcoming promotions and games, and some companies will have a dedicated VIP support team to ensure that their customer service is first class.

A VIP bingo bonus may be a bonus that is only offered to VIP players, either on each deposit they make or on certain days. It could however also be an enhanced bonus, for example non-VIP players get a 10% bonus but VIP players get a 30% bonus. This makes the VIP players more inclined to make deposits on that particular site, but also makes them a more loyal player. Every one likes to feel important, and bingo sites will devote a good amount of their resources looking after their VIP players, who are also sometimes referred to as high-rollers. As well as playing more there they will hopefully tell other people about their experience, and so help in the constant quest of acquiring more players.

While in London for today’s NFL match up between the Chicago Bears and the Glazier owned Tampa Bay Buccaneers at Wembley Stadium, NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell handed a player a stern $10,000 for calling his wife while his game was still in progress. Pittsburgh Steelers Safety Troy Polamalu had recently been involved in a play that brought him and the opposing team’s Running Back (Maurice Jones-Drew) together. The result of the play saw Polamalu demonstrate symptoms consistent with having a concussion.

After being treated by team doctors, Polamalu borrowed a mobile phone from a staff physician to dial his wife to assure her that he was alright.

Whilst the rules of the NFL are clear involving use of telephones on the sidelines, the player in question was not spouting off on twitter, nor was the injured player calling into a local talk show from the sidelines as other players have done in the past. The player had been injured and was attempting to set the mind of his family at ease – thus being a family man. The spirit of the law is to reduce and prevent sideline antics involving a phone. The Steelers safety does not plan to appeal his fine. You can bet, however, that there will be discussion behind the scenes regarding the spirit of the law and the letter of the law within the National Football League in the upcoming days and weeks.

Troy Polamalu is active for today’s game against the Arizona Cardinals, which is a rematch of Super Bowl XLIII in which the Steelers were victorious by a 27-23 margin. This was amongst one of the most exciting Super Bowls ever.

Camelot is licensed to operate the National Lottery in the UK and they want to ensure that The Health Lottery isn’t breaching any of the strict regulations set in place by the UK Lotteries Commission. The Health Lottery has already fallen into a bit of hot water this month due to their terminals being tampered with. The retail terminals have been tampered with and it has caused many potential clients to shy away from participating in the new lottery geared towards health charities.

Some people have also been questioning how much money has actually been getting donated to the health charities that the new The Health Lottery supports. Some critics have stated that the lottery donates less money than the National Lottery and they feel that they should be donating at least the same amount of Camelot. The Health Lottery claims to be set-up to benefit health charities, but they’re currently donating less than Camelot, which makes it seem like a profitable venture rather than a charitable venture.

Whether there will be legal action or not from Camelot has yet to be seen, but one thing that’s for sure is these two will remain competitors in the UK lottery market for as long as The Health Lottery is in business. The Health Lottery is much smaller than the National Lottery in the UK, so I’m sure Camelot isn’t worried about the increased competition. However, they will make sure that The Health Lottery is abiding by all of the rules and regulations set in place by the UK Lotteries Commission.

If you want to play huge lotteries on a daily basis you should try playing some of the lotteries available at the top bingo sites. Many online Bingo sites have excellent online lotteries on a daily basis that are very rewarding and have plenty of unique prizes. It’ll be interesting to see what happens with The Health Lottery, but initial sales have been good regardless of the bad press the new lottery has received the past couple weeks.

Triangulation is a slot machine game that’s way more exciting than traditional slots. The goal is to spin the slot and form triangle shapes from the triangles on the game grid. Playing Triangulation will be confusing initially for new players, but once you get the hang of the slot it’s tons of fun. There are tons of ways to win on the slot machine and with bonus/wild symbols on the grid it isn’t hard to win a big prize from playing the new Triangulation game on Microgaming Quickfire or Viper.

Another new game that was released on both Microgaming platforms is Spingo. The new Spingo game is very entertaining and players will find that it’s a slight mix of bingo and roulette. The graphics are incredible and the game features a 3D wheel where bingo balls come out of and land on a Mini Roulette Wheel. The game is exciting and you can win a fair amount of money playing Spingo if you’re lucky enough. There is no strategy for playing Spingo, but the game is very fun and is inexpensive to play.

Microgaming also released the Isis slot machine in multiplayer format this month. Players will now be able to play against each other while playing the slot, which is always more fun. There are several social features on the multiplayer games and it makes it more fun than playing by yourself. The multiplayer Isis slot will only be available on the downloaded version of the Microgaming software suite, which is available at many leading online casinos.

In the past few months Microgaming has been busy developing plenty of new games and it’s great to see all of the new games available in various online casinos. Microgaming is definitely a leader in the online casino industry and they continue to improve upon their offering with incredible games that are built to entertain. I’m sure there will be more casino games released next month on the Microgaming Quickfire platform, so make sure you check out the platform if you haven’t yet.

CIRSA is the leading online gambling group in the Spanish market and they’ve just inked a new deal with Microgaming. CIRSA will be leasing the Microgaming software and will be operating a poker room, casino plus bingo room. CIRSA definitely has a lot of reach in the Spanish market and the company should be able to grow into one of the bigger brands using the Microgaming software over the next 3-10 years.

Many online gambling markets are still very uncompetitive and the Spanish market is one of those. Not many operators want to worry about entering a market that they don’t understand. CIRSA has plenty of experience in the Spanish gambling market on the internet and they should have no problem gaining a loyal base of players. CIRSA mentioned that they were extremely happy to sign the deal with Microgaming due to the incredible reputation that Microgaming has in the online gaming industry.

CIRSA is excited to offer the Microgaming software suite to their players and I’m sure the Spanish market is happy to have a new place to gamble online. CIRSA has a great reputation in the Spanish market and this is a deal that should be very good for both parties. Microgaming does a lot of hands on work with the companies that license their software and they’ve already announced that the brand is excited to get to work on the CIRSA platform.

CIRSA will be operating an all-in-one gambling portal for the Spanish market that includes a poker room, casino, bingo room and lots of speciality games. Lots of online casinos are translated in Spanish for the Spanish market, but none of them have as much experience in the market as CIRSA. If you’re looking to play with a reputable Spanish gambling site you don’t need to look any further than the new CIRSA platform. We look forward to the first of many New Bingo Sites released on the Microgaming software in the upcoming months.
