• VIP Casino Launches VIP Premium Club

LONDON, UK -- (PRESS RELEASE) -- The newly updated Vip Casino has announced the launch of its pioneering VIP Premium Club, a multi-tiered reward program designed to redefine online casino customer rewards. The new program is multi-tiered so, whether you're a high roller or a casual gamer, the system will work in your favor. VIP Premium Club has four groups (Bronze, Silver, Gold and Platinum), each determined by the number of Comp Points the player has earned throughout the previous month. Each tier will have great promotions tailored to their casino points, such as free cashback, match deposits and bonuses based on comp points earned. In short, there's something for everyone. "This new loyalty club has been produced to help players earn more," says Kate Berkeley, Manager of Vip Casino." Vip Casino values its customers and the program is a great way of rewarding their loyalty, regardless of how much they spend." VIP Casino has built a solid reputation as one of the best loved online casinos in cyberspace by adhering to a core company value: treating everyone like a VIP. The new program has been specifically designed to reflect this philosophy. While many casinos simply reward the high roller, VIP Casino understands that in this expanding industry most players are occasional gamblers who play for fun and low stakes – and they deserve to be rewarded too. The news comes hot on the heels of the launch of VIP Casino's radical makeover. The casino now sports a fresh new look and has upgraded its software to Cryptologic's award winning Version 6.0, which offers an exciting new range of games and features.

• WTO Ruling Paves The Way For Regulation Of E-gaming In The US

Today’s victory for Antigua in its case against the United States in the World Trade Organization (WTO) seeking to strike down U.S. prohibitions on Internet Gaming provides the chance for the U.S. and gaming companies to develop strategies to meet U.S. concerns about the risk of money laundering and fraud in this multi-billion dollar online sector, Kobus Paulsen, CEO of the UC Group, said today. “The WTO has now found U.S. prohibitions on Internet Gambling improper and discriminatory under global trade rules,” Paulsen said. “This WTO ruling means the U.S. will need to regulate, rather than prohibit Internet gaming. It’s clear that this will require Internet gaming companies seeking to do business with U.S. consumers to have adequate protections for consumers in place, to deal with such problems as the risk of underage gaming, fraud, and money laundering. The good news is that there are now solutions in the payment system to do just that.” During the proceedings in the WTO the United States argued that regulation was not a viable alternative for prohibition due to five major risks: underage gambling, compulsive gambling, money laundering, possible abuse by organized crime, and the risk of fraud. “The gaming industry is already addressing these risks by using our tailored Internet payment technology,” Paulsen stated. “The UC Group offers an Internet credit card payment system for e-commerce sectors with potentially higher risks, such as Internet gaming. This system is designed to virtually eliminate risks such as underage gambling, money laundering, abuse by organised crime and fraud against consumers. Furthermore, UC Group’s payment system provides opportunities to address compulsive gambling that are as good or better than those available for bricks and mortar gambling.” According to Paulsen, the U.S. Congress is now in a position to consider alternative approaches to Internet gaming other than its existing efforts at prohibition. Congress currently requires lawful Internet gaming to have sufficient protections in place appropriate to deal with these risks, just as U.S. law already requires financial institutions to take effective action against other activities deemed of potentially higher-risk of fraud and money laundering. “Currently, industry surveys strongly suggest there are large numbers of Americans who are engaging in Internet gaming despite the current U.S. legal limitations,” Paulsen said. “A legislative approach that deals with the risks rather than prohibiting the activity will go a long way to meeting the public policy concerns.” The UC Group, based in the UK, currently provides payment services for a number of Internet business sectors, including online flowers and Internet gaming. Its anti-money laundering, anti-fraud, and other protections make it a unique mechanism to protect both businesses selling services online and consumers purchasing services from such businesses. >For further information about UC Group’s payment system for e-commerce business possibly attracting higher risks and the opportunities it offers to effectively address regulatory concerns raised by Internet gaming, see www.uc.com and www.securetrading.com.

• Nevada Players Ante Up Online

LAS VEGAS -- Every day hundreds of Las Vegas residents break the law for a shot at fame and fortune or just a bit of fun. They work in casinos and in offices. They pay their taxes and hold steady jobs. And many don't even know they are lawbreakers. Among them is Jeff Larsen, a casino worker at the Bellagio who has turned a hobby into a part-time job. From home, Larsen now plays up to eight games of online poker at a time on two computers. Gambling in Internet poker rooms up to 40 hours a week nets Larson about the same kind of money he makes at his casino job. "It's convenient, the games are really good and you've got people on the Internet just giving their money away," he said. "Playing in a casino is just getting old for a lot of people." David Matthews, a webmaster for the Las Vegas Advisor consumer newsletter, said he makes about $150 per hour for the 20 or so hours per week he plays online poker. "I can't afford not to play," Matthews said. "If I decided to play full time I could probably make $30,000 a month. "I know people who've given up their day jobs." Online poker is faster, doesn't require tipping a dealer and often features cash bonuses for players, he said. It also draws players who are "fast and loose," translating into good games at all hours, he said. "On a Wednesday in the morning you're not going to find a good game in Vegas," Matthews said. Players in Las Vegas cardrooms at that time are "better than average and protective with their money." A casino manager in Las Vegas, who declined to be named, said he plays poker only online these days. [...]
