The Beginners Guide For Free Bingo

admin — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 01:00:02 +0000

Friday night and the lights are low, looking out for a place to go…but it is raining outside, you need to chill out after a hard week at work and you’re not in the mood to dress up to go out. Kick off your shoes, wear whatever you want, smoke freely if you’re a smoker, grab a glass of wine or a cup of tea and find one of these free bingo sites that your friends have been talking about. It doesn’t matter if you have absolutely no idea how to play because good free bingo sites make it so easy anyhow and who cares as you’re not spending any money.

Free bingo works in some slightly different ways. Strictly free bingo is when you get your bingo tickets for free but the prizes are still very real and tangible! Another part of free bingo is when you get a sign up bonus upon registration, which will vary from site to site, the trick is to spot some of the best free bingo bonus offers. This amount is credited into your account without having to deposit. There is also cash back on your first deposit on some sites this is as much as 200% and on the odd site it even goes up to 500%. So if you deposit 10 pounds you will get an extra 20 pounds free.

So apart from differentiating between the different elements of free bingo if you are new to the game you need to be aware that it is not just one game but there are three variations. These are 75, 80 and 90 balls, so whether you decide to dive in just for the best offers and to learn each game or you approach it the other way around, choose by the game first and then the offers, there are so many free bingo sites around you will not have a problem. The only problem will be that you will be spoiled for choice.

A few starting points that you need to be aware of is that you need to be a minimum of 18 years old to be allowed to play the game online. You will also need to be a registered member to play free bingo. Many bingo sites will let you play the free games for a while but if you want to join the real game you are then required to make a deposit to your account.

You do not have to shout bingo when you win, the computer will announce it and even if you have a problem with your computer during a game you can still win and know about it later. As you look at different sites you will notice that they have different times with special things happening. Also they have chat rooms which means that even if you are by yourself at home you can meet other players online.

Free bingo can be used also to learn the game online so that you feel confident to move onto betting a little at a later stage. It is really easy to learn, and it makes a great night in without spending any money.

Online Gambling Funds Seizure Case

admin — Thu, 03 Sep 2009 23:39:01 +0000

Online Gambling Funds Seizure Case
Even before the passing of the UIGEA the Department of Justice (DoJ) was taking steps against online gambling. The prosecutions of the owners of Neteller and PartyGaming are examples. In a move that took everybody by surprise
the DoJ under the Obama administration went much further in its efforts to curb online gambling. It seized funds meant for disbursement to online players. In June 2009
the United States District Court of Southern District of New York issued a civil seizure warrant against funds in named accounts in specified banks. The warrant was issued on the basis of an affidavit given by a special agent of the Federal Bureau of Investigation. The agent averred that the funds were subject to seizure and civil forfeiture as per law. Accordingly Arlo Devlin-Brown
the assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York instructed the four banks to freeze said accounts. The accounts were in a Wells Fargo bank in San Francisco and in Alliance Bank of Arizona among others. The accounts belonged to an online payment processor. The exact reason given for the seizure was that the funds were involved in money laundering transactions and illegal gambling offenses. The total amount seized was between $30 million and $40 million. The online gaming industry was up in arms against this seizure. The online poker industry was most affected because most of the funds seized came from PokerStars and Full Tilt Poker. The Poker Players Alliance (PPA) spoke out strongly against the DoJ. It claimed that there was no legal standing for the action because the UIGEA regulations were not yet applicable and the Wire Act applied only to sports betting. Costigan Media filed a motion in the court to unseal the court records relating to the issuance of the warrant so that the legality of the action could be examined. Account Services Corporation
the payment processor whose funds had been seized
filed a motion for the return of property. While all these legal battles were playing out in the courts
the DoJ and the FBI delivered a second punch in the case. They filed an indictment charging the owner of the seized accounts with bank fraud and other offenses. The owner was Douglas Rennick who operated a number of payment processing companies such as KJB Financial Corporation
Account Services Corporation and Check Payment Financial Co. It is alleged that since 2007 Rennick has processed more than $350 million for online gambling operators. His modus operandi was as follows. He opened the accounts stating that he would be using them to issue rebate checks and for payroll processing. However
funds from offshore online gambling companies were received in the accounts and disbursed to U.S. residents withdrawing their gambling winnings. The 34 year old Rennick is a resident of Canada. He has been charged with one count each of conspiracy to commit bank fraud
conspiracy to engage in money laundering and conspiracy to operate an illegal gambling business. The punishment that Rennick faces if found guilty is a maximum of 30 years in prison and a fine of $1 million fine on the bank fraud charge
20 years in prison and a fine of $500
000 on the money laundering charge and 5 years in prison and a fine of $250
000 fine on the illegal gambling charge. Articles from Casino Advisor

Volatility In Online Casino Slots Games
Everybody understands what volatility in the stock market is. When the stock market fluctuates between very high and very low values we say that it is volatile. The same concept applies to online slot games. There are some slot games that in the short run either pay out large amounts or almost nothing. Therefore the player will either make a big winning or lose a large amount. These are referred to as slot games with high volatility. On the other hand there are slot games that in the short run would usually pay out small amounts regularly. On such slot gam
es the players will either win small amounts or lose small amounts. These are referred to as slot games with low volatility. In between these two extremes are slot games with medium volatility. In order to identify if a slot game as high volatility
medium volatility or low volatility the player needs to check out the payout table. He should examine the payouts for five of a kind for the various symbols on the reels. This payout is expressed as a number which is a multiple of the number of coins wagered. It is also known as the fixed jackpot. For example if the payout for five of a certain symbol is 2
000 then it implies that for every coin wagered by the player the payout is 2
000 coins of the same denomination. The difference between the highest payout and the lowest payout for five of a kind is an indicator of the volatility of the online slot game. In most online slot games the lowest fixed jackpot is usually around 50 or 100 coins. Therefore the value of the highest fixed jackpot can be considered as an indicator of the volatility of the slot game. Online slot games with very high volatility are those games that offer the highest fixed jackpot of 50
000 coins or more. Some such slot games are American Icon (100
000 coins)
Big Kahuna Snakes and Ladders (100
000 coins)
Break da Bank Again (75
000 coins) and The Right Prize (300
000). In such slot games if the players hit the highest fixed jackpot they win amounts comparable to progressive jackpots. Otherwise they may play for hours and keep on losing their wagers. There are few online slot games that fall in this category because not many players would like to take such high risks. Online slot games with high volatility are those games that offer the highest fixed jackpot of more than 10
000 coins to 50
000 coins. There are many such slot games. Some of the popular slots falling in this category are $5 Million Touchdown (15
000 coins)
Daily Horoscope (25
000 coins)
Solomon’s Mines (40
000 coins) and Spike’s Nite Out (15
000 coins) Online slot games with moderate volatility are those games that offer the highest fixed jackpot of between 5000 coins and 10
000 coins. Most of the online slot games will fall in this category because most players are moderate risk takers. Some of the popular slots falling in this category are Magic Monkey (6
000 coins)
Mermaid Queen (7
500 coins)
Monster Meteors (5
000 coins) and Sea Captain (10
000 coins). Online slot games with low volatility are those games that offer the highest fixed jackpot of less than 5000 coins. There are few slots of this type because such slots offer little expectation to the players. Some of the popular slots falling in this category are Sparta (4
000 coins)
Samba Nights (2
000 coins)
Pedal Power (2
000 coins) and Monster Mania (1
000 coins). Articles from Casino Advisor

Downloading Microgaming Casino Software
In order to download the software of a Microgaming online casino
players will need to access the casino web site. They can then initiate the downloading process by clicking on the download link
which is prominently displayed in the lobby. Alternatively players can use the download link provided in the Casino Advisor web site. Casino Advisor reviews and recommends a large number of Microgaming online casinos and provides direct download links for these casinos. Note that the below steps are provided that you’re downloading and installing the software from Internet Explorer. Although the steps will be very similar if you were to do the same but from FireFox or other web browser. Downloading and Installing Microgaming Software Video Tutorial: Attention: In order to view our tutorial on how to download and install Microgaming online casino software you’ll need to have the Adobe Flash player installed on your computer. Get Flash Player

“#000000″); fo.addParam(“quality”
“best”); fo.addParam(“allowfullscreen”
“true”); fo.addParam(“wmode”
“transparent”); fo.addParam(“menu”
“false”); fo.write(“microgaming-install-tutorial”); Set of Steps for Downloading and Installing Microgaming Software: Step #1 On clicking the download link a box is displayed asking the player if he wants to save the file. If the player wants to proceed with the download he should click the Save File button. Sometimes visitors to the online casino lobby inadvertently click the download link. They can abort the download process by clicking the Cancel button. Alternatively you could also first visit the website and download the software directly from the casinos website vs. clicking the download link here in Casino Advisor that would do the same thing. Step #2 Clicking on the Save File button saves the executable file onto the players computer at which point you can execute the file after it’s completed downloading. The other option would be to click the “Run” button to commence the installation of the mini downloader file. Step #3 The player should double click the icon on the desktop while remaining connected to the Internet to proceed further with the downloading provided that the save file option was used in the previous step. Regardless though once the setup has started you’ll receive a security warning is displayed giving the details of the file. It states that the publisher is Microgaming Software Systems Limited. If the player is satisfied with the information provided he should click on the Run button to proceed. The player has the option to abort the installation by clicking on the Cancel button. Step #4 When the Run button is clicked a Window opens with a large Install Casino button. Clicking on this button implies that the player has accepted the End User License Agreement and the downloading proceeds. However the correct procedure is to click on the link to open the End User License Agreement and read the agreement. Only after being satisfied with the contents of the agreement the player should click ob the button that says “I have read and accept the license agreement”. This will directly start the downloading process. Step #5 While the casino software is downloading
Microgaming initiates the registration process. Players who want to save time can register while the downloading is in progress. They also have the option of registering later. It is recommended that the registration be done now. While the downloading is going on information about the casino is displayed on the screen. This includes its security and support features and the category of online casino games on offer. Step #6 As soon as the software is downloaded the casino opens. If players have already registered they can enter their passwords and log in. Microgaming software automatically starts downloading the casino games in a predetermined sequence. However players can supersede this sequence by downloading the games they prefer first. Microgaming recommends the use of a 1 GHz processor
128 MB system memory and 250 MB of free space in the hard disc. With a dial up connection the download can take 8 minutes
but with a broadband connection this could come down to less than a minute. Articles from Casino Advisor
