• Carmen Media Announces The Launch Of Belle Rock Gaming

Gibraltar - Carmen Media Group has announced today that it will link seven of its flagship online casinos and three multi-player poker rooms into one new online gaming Super-group, Belle Rock Gaming. All the individual operations will continue to offer gaming with their existing brand personalities and environments. The casinos and poker rooms within the newly created Belle Rock Gaming Group will operate under Carmen Media’s license issued by The Government of Gibraltar, a British overseas territory situated in the Mediterranean. The seven flagship casinos have also been accredited with the e-COGRA (e-Commerce and Online Gaming Regulation and Assurance) seal of approval. This is given in recognition of fair gameplay, prompt payments, player service and responsible casino conduct. The benefits for players from the creation of Belle Rock Gaming are significant: Players at all casinos will be able to take part in new group promotions and prizes in addition to casino specific ones. The launch promotion offers the chance to win a $100,000 Belle Rock diamond, and this will be the first of a series planned throughout the year.

• iTV Betting Could Be Huge Down Under, But...

Is Australia ready for iTV gambling? The consumers, perhaps. The government, absolutely not. British gambling groups have proven in the last 12 months that betting and interactive television can be a winning combination, but the growth of iTV gambling beyond England and Ireland has been limited. A handful of countries, including France, Norway and New Zealand, seem to be embracing the concept, but nowhere has it taken off like it has in the Sky Digital markets. It's perhaps just a matter of time before iTV betting reaches mainstream success elsewhere, and if any market is ready to take the torch from here, it's Australia--a county that loves to gamble and readily embraces new technology. Combine that with FOXTEL's mission to bring the country into the digital television age, and Australia looks like a hot bed.

He won $55,000 one recent evening, but in his tireless ambition for the $2.5 million world championship, this mild-mannered college graduate has become an outlaw in hiding and a twisting thorn in the side of Eliot Spitzer, the New York attorney general. Ben quit his teaching job five months ago and now makes around $100 an hour. Five days a week, he clocks 10-hour shifts of Texas Hold 'Em on his Dell laptop computer. With reggae in the background and coffee mug in hand, he studies his competitors who sit in London, Copenhagen, Los Angeles and elsewhere, while the dealer in Costa Rica tosses cards. A couple of blocks away, a slightly less-skilled friend of Ben's named Jimmy also works busily. While Ben plays high-stakes tournaments with pots topping $70,000, Jimmy is what is known as a "grinder" - he works the smaller virtual tables, specializing in cheaper and less risky play, but keeping three games going at all times, nickel and diming his way to decent earnings. In the past four months, Jimmy says that he made $30,000. [...]
