• Gambling-Pro.com interviews Ms Ho, CEO of DrHo888.com

This week we interview Ms Angelo Ho to talk about the top-notch live dealer online casino DrHo888.com, initially created for Asian players but now taking bets from other countries. Around June 2005, it will feature RNG casino games in addition of Live Dealers games. 1) Well, we will start by talking about yourself, Angela. What is your professional background? How did you get involved in the online gambling industry? What is your position at DrHo888.com? I graduated in the Arts and have been working for 15 years in that field when I started diversifying into other arenas. I founded a corporate jet charter at Macau International Airport. Then I looked into some internet and biotechnology investments because I knew that would be a growing market and placed funds in this type of ventures. This was very successful, and along the way I noticed the growing interest in online gambling. I convinced my father this was a space he should be in and we started the company. I am the CEO and President of DrHo888.com. 2) When did you first open DrHo888.com? We started 4 years ago. 3) As this date, casino games with real dealers weren't very popular - how did you get the intuition that it would work well? Well, when I was telling my father about this I researched the industry and found that 70-80% of North American gambling revenue came from slot machines, while in Macau 99% of the revenue came from table games I realized that the Asian players do not like RNG computer based games. So to cater to the Asian market we needed to 're-create' the casino experience as best as we could online. The Asians, shrewd gamblers that they are, do not believe that Lady-Luck lives in a machine. She lives in a deck of cards or a pair of dice dealt by a pretty girl. 4) What main advantage has DrHo888.com against its competitors? Do your players play often at your casino and how loyal are they? Well, we have a very strong brand recognition amongst Asians. And for non-Asians we offer what no other online casino can offer; namely a real face and person behind the operation, who has over 40 years of experience and integrity. He also has billions of dollars behind him which means he can afford to pay the players their winnings. Our players are 'regular' players who log on habitually. Our players are very loyal. If we loose a player we consider that to be a failure on our behalf. 5) How often do you offer special bonuses and promotions for your loyal players? Have you a VIP club? We offer different promotions for different holidays and events, and then we do 'introductory' promotions to give people a chance to get the experience of a LIVE casino online almost on a monthly basis. A lot of times we actually give away free cash for new and old customers. Yes, we have a VIP club. It gives you benefits in the form of credit lines and other benefits.

• GoldenPalace.com Does it Again

OTTAWA – (PRESS RELEASE) -- When pop-star icon Britney Spears recently confirmed her much-rumored pregnancy, it was inevitable that controversial media attention would soon follow. Now her alleged pregnancy test has been sold by a Canadian radio station to none other than GoldenPalace.com, the Internet casino most famous for their outrageous eBay purchases over the last few months. Ottawa's #1 Hit Music Station, The New Hot 89.9, scored the pregnancy test through a connection they have in the Los Angeles hotel where Britney and her husband Kevin Federline were staying a couple of months ago. The positive test was found in the trash can of the happy couple's bathroom then sold to The Morning Hot Tub with Mauler, Rush, Laura & Josie. Although the station has had the test for a while now, they wanted to wait until the official announcement had been made by Mr. and Mrs. Spears. Like many of the eccentric items the casino has bought, proceeds from this sale will go to charity. The two charities that will benefit are the Candlelighters Childhood Cancer Foundation which provides support to children with cancer and their families, and the Easter Seal Society which helps children with physical disabilities achieve their full individual potential and future independence. "Although we love being in the headlines, we also jump at any opportunity to help out needy charities," said GoldenPalace.com CEO Richard Rowe. "This way, everybody wins and the money goes where it is needed. We are very pleased that the Candlelighters Foundation and the Easter Seal Society will benefit from this sale." "It's great that GoldenPalace.com took the pregnancy test off our hands," said radio personality Jeff Mauler. "Not only are they helping out a couple of deserving charities, but they are also getting the pee out of our station. That's always a good thing."

• Prohibition 2005 - A Sneak Peek at the Kyl Bill

Sen. John Kyl, R-Ariz., is preparing to introduce the 2005 version of his Internet gambling prohibition legislation, and Interactive Gaming News has obtained a draft version of the bill. Like other recent versions of the Kyl bill, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2005 would make it illegal to use credit cards, wire transfers or other "instruments of banking" to fund online gambling transactions. But unlike previous versions, the 2005 bill doesn't define legal and illegal online gambling activity, nor does it contain a carve-out for online horse betting, an activity that has generated hundreds of millions of dollars for states in which it is currently legal. The carve-out issue has been at the heart of debates throughout the lifetime of the U.S. Internet gambling prohibition movement. The racing, lottery and land-based casino industries have been vocal over the years; all are in favor of an exemption allowing individual states to decide whether they want to license and regulate various forms of interactive gaming. The Indian gaming lobby has sought exemptions as well. Racing is the only gambling industry whose products are legal and regulated over the Internet in U.S. states and, thus, has the most to lose if the current, exemption-free bill is passed. But getting such a bill through both chambers won't be an easy task. The last exemption-free funding prohibition bill, authored by Rep. Jim Leach, R-Iowa, and introduced to the House in 2000, was ultimately killed by special interest groups seeking exemptions. [...]
