US Online Gambling Discussion Further Delayed

US Online Gambling Discussion Further Delayed
Online Gambling DiscussionAs the political agenda is filled with numerous challenging issues ranging from the economic crisis to the ongoing war in the Middle East
experts believe the online gambling discussion might be put into cold storage for at least a while. The cheerful news that Barney Frank was first considering a bold move in February
then was developing his bill during April
and ultimately introduced his Gambling Regulation and Enforcement Act in May
has reached us all. Although this process has been going on for almost a year now
little measurable progress has been booked.  No Change Has ComeDespite the expectation that with the Obama administration would come a more liberal approach to online gambling
reality proves otherwise. Throughout 2009 we have witnessed numerous indictments and seizures of large sums of money resulting from online poker and online gambling activities. Interestingly enough the UIGEA isn’t even in full effect
as compliance with the UIGEA procedures is not required until December 2009. This in order to give the relevant parties the time to develop
implement and execute the necessary safeguards and procedures. US Online CasinosFor now several foreign-based companies are well able to provide the US Citizens a place to spin the reels and hit the virtual casino tables. Rushmore Casino and Millionaire Casino are two of the many online casinos that are still going strong in the US market and provide hours and hours of gambling pleasure.

Select Software Based on Casino Slots Games
For new players selecting the appropriate software can be a difficult proposition because it involves balancing a number of conflicting requirements. For example Microgaming offers the largest number of games but it also occupies the largest disc space. For new players nothing can be more important than the choice of games offered and in this online slot games play a critical role. One reason for this is that for every software provider about two thirds the games are slots. Another reason is that there is little differentiation in the table games and video poker between the various software providers. However there is considerable differentiation in the slot games offered. Slot games originated as three reel slots and many new players would like to begin with this category. All the software providers offer a selection of three reel slot games in their portfolio. However Microgaming offers several games that are classified as Fruit Machines. These are three reel slots with special features that were popular in English pubs. The Hold feature allows players to keep one or two reels fixed while spinning the remaining. The Nudge feature allows players to move selected reels by one more slot without wagering any extra amount. These features result in extra winning possibilities and are therefore popular with the new players. Players who want to combine three reel slots with progressive jackpots can opt for Vegas Technology software. Vegas Technology has several three reel slots with progressive jackpots in a range of interesting themes. However
most of the action is at the five reel video slots. In this category Cryptologic software has some unique offerings. One is the branded slots based on characters from Marvel Comics. If the player is a fan of Marvel Comics superheroes then these slot games are not to be missed. They feature superheroes like Superman
the Incredible Hulk and Elektra. The symbols on the reels will mean much more to fans of these superheroes because they include items like the source of the superpower or favorite weapons. Cryptologic also offers a Casual Slots series. The online slot games are based on popular games like Jenga and Bejeweled. Rival Gaming is another software provider that offers unique five reel video slots known as I-slots. These would attract players who find the normal slot games too mechanical. I-slots have interactive bonus games that require some level of skill from players. They are also more interesting because they unravel a story that is controlled by the players performance in the bonus rounds. However for sheer variety there is nothing to beat Microgaming. Microgaming adds about three video slots every month
which means that players at Microgaming online casinos will always have new games to wager on. Perhaps the greatest differentiation can be found in the five reel progressive jackpot online slots. Recently Real Time Gaming introduced slot games in which players were not required to draw a winning combination on the reels in order to hit the progressive jackpot. This jackpot is triggered randomly and thus is more exciting. Playtech offers a unique kind of progress jackpot that has nothing to do with the slot game in progress. Along with each spin a lottery type game is separately played and can lead to a progressive jackpot prize. Players who are looking for life changing payouts would do well to patronize Microgaming software. Though most online gaming software providers offer slots with large payouts
Microgaming offers more of them and the payouts are usually larger. Actually new players should register in online casinos powered by at least two different software providers. This way
they will have access to greater variety and will also be able to remain updated with what is new in the industry. Articles from Casino Advisor

New Online Casino Payment Options
As online casinos continue to proliferate
both in number and in terms of traffic
more and more online casino payment options are emerging. The increased competition in the online casino banking space is proving beneficial to players
because not only does it allow players to fine-tune their choices but it also acts to keep the costs down. Two of the latest online casino payment options are GoldPay and I-Point. Both these options have their own advantages
but they also have one common advantage. Both options are available to players from the United States. This is good news for American players who are suffering from increased credit cards rejections. GoldPay is an e-wallet. Online players first have to open an account at GoldPay. Five options are available to them by which they can transfer funds to these accounts. These options are MoneyGram
Western Union
Bank Wire
Xoom and eCheck. Once players a select the funding option suitable for them GoldPay send them an e-mail with detailed instructions for completing the transaction. Once the transaction is complete GoldPay informs the players that the accounts have been funded and players can then make deposits at the online casinos that accept GoldPay as a payment option. Withdrawals can be made from online casinos to the GoldPay accounts. Players can withdraw funds from the GoldPay accounts using MoneyGram
Western Union or Bank Wire. GoldPay offers several advantages. The transactions at GoldPay are completely private and secure and players need not provide personal financial information to GoldPay. The transactions take place instantaneously. Payment can be remitted from the GoldPay accounts to anyone that has an e-mail address. Therefore apart from funding online casinos this payment option allows players to remit funds to friends and family and make other online purchases. I-Point is also an e-wallet
but it functions in a slightly different manner from the usual e-wallets. I-Point can be funded using credit cards. However the credit card information is not stored on the online servers of I-Point. Therefore even if the servers are hacked into the credit card information will not be available to the hacker. The second difference is more important. The method of remitting funds to online casinos is completely different. When a player want to make a deposit at an online casino the I-point web site releases a confirmation code and a telephone number. Using the mobile telephone number that the player has registered with at I-point
he has to call the given telephone number and convey the confirmation code. This will enable the required funds to be transferred to the online casino. Since the transfer of funds is controlled through mobile phones
I-point is the preferred choice for mobile casinos. Vegas casino online is a popular Real Time Gaming online casino that accepts payments through both GoldPay and I-point. Articles from Casino Advisor

Casino Bonuses and Casino Games Worth Playing

Casino Bonuses

There are a lot of casino bonuses that are made available by different online casino websites. For instance, there are the online casino bonuses referred as reload. These are bonuses that are given to the online casinos players at the online casino, and these bonuses are awarded to their players as these players made some deposits at the casino. These are quite similar in such nature of the welcome bonuses, yet there is a distinct difference, and that is the welcome bonus is just a one time thing.

The reload bonus is being distinguished by these following factors.

The first is that the percentage of the money that has been deposited will be given as a bonus. But for the welcome bonus, it is usually bigger than 100%, and for the reload bonuses, it will usually be lesser than 100%. This is supported by a philosophy that as soon as a player will sign up at any online casino, naturally, there will be resistance in terms of switching unto another one, so, the incentive that is required to be able to retain the player is much less.

The next factor is that there is a pre-requisite of a minimum deposit, because online casinos are offering a lot of freebies and they have a lot of expectations that those players will make investments of which will justify the casino bonuses.

Thirdly, there is a maximum limit for the casino bonuses. All the online casinos bonuses have their own upper limits for the reason that there is no online casino that would want to have an indefinite liability.

And finally, the fourth factor is the wagering preconditions.
