The topic of the USA struggle against on-line gambling industry disturbs the gambling community. There is the old Wire Act (1961) in force in the USA which prohibits to stake with the help of the phone, telegraph and other wire communication facilities outside the bounds of one’s own state. Gamblers consider that this ban does not apply to the Internet, whereas the official establishment has another opinion. American DOJ has forbidden advertising of casinos in search systems and on television, bank deposits in online casinos (not even forbade, rather than recommended very insistently, but it was a proposal which was not to be refused from). At the same time Antigua through the court of WTO reached a decision according to which the USA either has to forbid its citizens to play in any on-line casinos by law or push aside all obstacles with regard to gambling. Several years ago a try to adopt a prohibitive law failed in the parliament of the USA still at the level of the House of Representatives. At the beginning of 2006 there was no considerable progress on the front of struggle with on-line gambling in the USA, but in the course of the current year there are a number of serious causes to talk about stronger measures against on-line casinos. It all began with a new bill on prohibition of gambling games in the Internet. The same senators Kyl, Leach and Goodlatte who joined them proposed another draft (known now as HR4777) on prohibition for the citizens of the USA of on-line gambling games (all the types of gambling, including stakes on sport, casinos, poker, except for horse racing stakes and fantasy sport). In accordance with this law banks are to fully block any opportunity for gamblers to make deposits in casinos, and gamblers themselves are under threat of a large fine or a sentence up to 10 years in prison. Despite the fact that numerous polls show that the majority of the population in the USA does not support the given law, it was adopted by the House of Representatives of the USA Congress by the majority of 3/4 of votes. It was planned that it would be considered by the Senate, after which it would be passed for signature of George Bush who, as it is known, does not feel any sympathy towards games of chance. Fortunately, there appeared some difficulties with the bill in the Senate; hearings were transferred to the autumn session. There appeared the information that the bill may not pass the Senate from the first, in this case there will be created a conciliation commission of the two Houses of the Congress that will at the minimum delay adoption of the law for a considerable term. Successful passing of the bill in the lower House of the Congress was, evidently, promoted by a scandal around a quite famous lobbyist Jack Abramoff. He was accused of non-payment of taxes and fraud with the money of real casinos. It was his active position that in many aspects contributed to failure of the previous anti-on-line bill, but at the same time after the scandal a lot of legislators are trying to distance themselves from it supporting a new bill. Struggle against gambling in the USA is carried out not only on the level of the country on the whole, as well as in individual states. The first signs appeared in the state of Washington (not to confuse with the capital of the USA, the city of Washington which was the first to pass its own anti-on-line legislation as an extension of Wire Act. From now on gambling through the Internet or other communication facilities (mobile phones, palms are meant here and etc) threaten the inhabitants of the state of Washington with a fine up to 10 000 dollars and (or) prison for a term up to five years. Also, any sites informing of on-line games are banned. The Law took effect on the 7th of June, 2006, though, there have been no cases of its application for two months. One more blow was delivered by the USA DOJ. On the 20th of July David Carruthers was arrested, Chief Executive of one of the biggest on-line gambling companies BetonSports, at that it happened in the airport of Dallas where David was taken from the transit flight from England to Costa-Rica. He was presented a number of accusations, including racket and non-payment of taxes, he was refused to be let out on bail. This case also concerns several people, including one of the owners of the company Gary Kaplan. Interestingly, but David himself is a citizen of Great Britain, and the company is registered in Costa-Rica. By the way, the authorities of Costa-Rica have refused to cooperate with Americans with regard to this case, having explained that David and BetonSports have not broken the laws of their country. BetonSports itself ceased work till the 14th of August, and dismissed David Carruthers trying to distance itself from the scandal. On the whole, the situation around BetonSports is rather controversial. However, this arrest has brought down the market of gambling shares which went down in price by 20-40% in the course of one day, though now the shares are repairing an omission. Apart from that, a large marketing conference was canceled in Las Vegas which had been planned by another big online bookmaker BoDog. All in all, it is not recommended for a manager of gambling sites to come to the USA. Just in case. Several gambling sites after the arrest of David refused access for the citizens of the USA. Thus, the accounts of Americans are closed in the poker network B2B, in the casino/bookmaker/poker Coral/Eurobet and Victor Chandler, though, all these are the companies oriented to Europe, and Americans’ share is not high among their clients. A few prognoses at the end. Hopefully, the Senate will not approve the bill in its current form, and it will be sent for a long revision at the minimum. Though, Americans have to hurry up with their final decision, for they are affected by the decision of WTO, and Antigua has already repeatedly applied to the organization with a request to control the USA actions. If the prohibition is not introduced or a decision will be made to permit on-line games in the USA, the gambling community will certainly breathe with relief, but no particular changes will take place. It will be much more interesting if the law is passed for all that. For at present up to 50% of all the money on-line is presented by players from the USA. Certainly, not all the Americans will leave online casinos, but outflow of customers will painfully hit the majority of gambling companies. Surely, the situation will worsen on the market of poker where it is the USA that is the main supplier of “fish”. Copyright 2006-2007 www.Bonus-Map.com

BREAKING: Betonsports CEO pleads guilty to federal charges
Today, former Betonsports.com CEO and Director David Carruthers pleaded guilty to federal racketeering charges. The U.S. Attorney’s Office says the Betonsports organization’s conspiracy included: “Creating and disseminating advertising throughout the United States which represented that its Internet and telephone gambling operations were legal and licensed. They failed to disclose known material facts, namely that the U.S. government and most state governments viewed such operations as illegal, and that they did not have a license to operate legally anywhere in the United States.” “Representing to potential customers that money transferred by them to BetonSports on account was safe and readily available to be withdrawn at anytime. BetonSports was actually using the funds to support and expand its operations, including the purchase of Easybets. When BetonSports ceased operations in July 2006, it could not repay its customers over $16 million held on account.” Carruthers now faces up to 20 years in prison and up to $250,000 in fines. He will be sentenced on October 2nd. The man who hired Carruthers also faces charges along with four other individuals. Those charges range from RICO conspiracy to mail fraud to the interstate transportation of gambling paraphernalia. That trial is scheduled for September.

What Are the Best Variations of Poker?
There are myriad variations of poker out there and players tend to specialize in different games. Which are the best games? That's a subjective question, but there are a few games that have become more popular than others and it will be useful to look at which ones those are and why. Many of the poker games you may have grown up playing have fallen to the wayside to some extent in the wake of the new wave of popularity poker is experiencing. Games you may have enjoyed in the pre-televised poker era include Wild Card games, in which one or more cards may be changed by their holder to represent any card the player wishes, such as Baseball or Follow the Queen and Trump Card Games, where a specific card awards its possessor half, or in extreme cases the whole pot, games such as Chicago or Man with the Ax. The reason these games are no longer so popular is that poker is more and more becoming recognized as a game of skill and these types of games severely reduce the skill element. Also, many players now are getting their poker experience online and online casinos mirror their real life counterparts, which have never dealt any of these types of games. The games that are most commonly played in casinos, both the online and brick and mortar varieties, are Hold`em, Omaha, Omaha Hi Low Split, Seven Card Stud and at some casinos, Pineapple. Here's a brief look at each. 1. Hold`em By far the biggest poker game right now, its popularity can be attributed to its use to determine the World Series of Poker Championship and its compatibility with television. With five community cards, Hold`em has the fewest cards to keep track of and therefore is the easiest for television viewers to follow. In Hold`em, each player gets two cards (called the hole or pocket cards). There is a round of betting followed by a "flop" of three cards in the middle of the table, which all players can use to make their hand. Then a "turn" or "fourth street" card is added, followed by another round of betting and then a "river" or "fifth street" card is put down, followed by a final round of betting. Whoever remains in the hand makes their best five card poker hand using any combination of the two cards in their hand and the five community cards ("the board"). There are generally no Antes in Hold`em, the action is driven by two forced bets, called blinds. The small blind, one to the left of the dealer, puts in half the minimum bet and the player one to his left, the big blind, puts in a full bet. Players who want to stay in the game must at least match the big blind's bet. Both the small and big blinds have the option to raise when the action gets back to them. The dealer rotates clockwise each hand so that no player has any advantage. The player to the left of the dealer (also called "the button") always acts first, so one's position at the table becomes a very important element in Hold`em. 2. Omaha Omaha is a variation of Hold`em in which you start with four cards in your hand instead of three. The twist is that you must use exactly two of the cards in your hand, no more, no less. This can lead to some confusion for new players, as they may think, for example, that they have a flush when their Ah Th 3h 9s sees a board of 8h 2h Qc when in fact they only have four to a flush. In a full ring game in Omaha, 45 of the 52 cards in the deck are in play, so unlike in Hold`em, you very often need the best possible hand to win. For example, if the board pairs (e.g. 8h 8s Kd 2d 6d), you will almost always need a full house to win the pot, whereas in a Hold`em game a flush or even trips is often sufficient. 3. Omaha Hi-Low Omaha Hi Low is a "split" game, meaning half the pot goes to the best hand or "high" hand and the other half goes to the worst, or "low" hand. In most high low games, straights and flushes do not count against your low, so the best low hand is A 2 3 4 5, also called a "wheel." In Omaha Hi-Low, the goal is to "scoop" or win both halves, so hands that play both ways, such as A K 2 3, have great value. 4. Pineapple This variation, played less frequently, is a three card version of Hold`em. Each player is dealt three cards. What distinguishes this game is that players must discard one of the three, either before or after the flop, depending on the variation of Pineapple being played and then play the rest of the game as normal Hold`em. 5. Seven Card Stud This is one of the oldest forms of poker. Players are dealt two cards down (the "hole" cards) and one card up. There is a round of betting and then players are dealt three more up cards, one at a time, with a round of betting after each and finally one last down card, after which there is a final round of betting and players make their best five card poker hand out of the seven available to them. There are no blinds in this game, the action is driven by Antes, a prescribed amount that each player puts into the pot before the deal, as well as a "bring-in," a percentage of the minimum bet that the lowest up card showing must put in after the initial deal of three cards. Players who wish to remain in the hand must either match the bring-in, or "complete" it to the minimum bet. Who acts first is determined (after the initial betting round when the "bring-in" acts first) by who has the highest hand showing, so position at the table is not an issue. Which of these is best? It really all depends on you and your preferences. It's said that Omaha is more popular in Europe, Hold`em on the West Coast of the United States and Seven Stud on the East Coast. With the explosion in online poker however, there are plenty of opportunities for you to try whichever one suits your fancy (except Pineapple, which is usually only found in select live casinos). Good luck in whichever games you try.
Phil Hellmuth Planning Elaborate Entrance to 2009 WSOP

LV Race Draws Big
″What do you know about cars?″ a bookmaker was asked recently. ″You put gas in them, turn the key and go,″ he answered. That’s the way it is with NASCAR. Like sports fans in general, bet shop bosses love, hate or ignore auto racing. You couldn’t pay some bookmakers to go to the track, even with VIP passes thrown in. They love the business it brings, however, especially this particular weekend, when NASCAR makes its annual Southern Nevada stop. Sunday’s race at Las Vegas Motor Speedway is the largest annual gathering in the Silver State, with upwards of 135,000 racing fans witnessing the UAW DaimlerChrysler 400. The Daytona 500 used to be the sport’s main attraction at betting windows; the Las Vegas race passed it a number of years ago and bookmakers say it now outdraws the season launcher about 2/1. Some books have staff specialists or hire individuals to formulate odds, others get lines offshore or put up numbers provided by Las Vegas Sports Consultants. The car crazies already are out in full force, casing stores and comparing prices. You can feel it in the air, see it everywhere. Newspapers are full of weather reports, bus route maps and ads announcing driver personal appearances. TV station helicopters update viewers on traffic flow. The Orleans, owned by truck driver Brendan Gaughn’s father, Michael, is a happening place. So are Sam’s Town, the Boyd Group-owned host property, the NASCAR Cafe and the Sahara, which devotes a large section of its building to NASCAR memorabilia. Cardboard cutouts of Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Dale Earnhardt Jr. stare blankly from supermarket displays for everything from beer to nuts. The Downtown Fremont Street Experience is packed with replicas of racing cars, NASCAR t-shirts for sale and fans wearing jackets touting various drivers. RV parks are full. Lounges are loaded with country-Western acts. Rooms at Sam’s Town have been sold out for weeks. ″We’re starting to get busy, in the casino too,″ Toni Edwards, a Sam’s Town sports book supervisor and NASCAR junkie, said on Thursday. ″We started seeing it this morning.″ Festive NASCAR flags, banners and pennants add flair to the atmosphere. ″We’ve got them around all the bars,″ she said. Edwards persuaded counterpart Jake Kolleth at the Stardust — a former Sam’s Town colleague — to post matchups on the 400. Kolleth is one of those bet shop dudes who knows to put gas in a car and twist the key. ″Jake asked how he could do the matchups when he didn’t know anything about NASCAR,″ Edwards recalled. ″I told him not to worry, I do, and that I’d list the names, he could put beside them and I’d tell him if they were right or wrong,″ she said.
Totesport Bingo Review
Totesport Bingo Overview Totesport Bingo started in September 2008, as is run by the legendary Tote. For those unfamiliar to sports betting, the Tote has hundreds of betting shops around Britain that offer fixed odds betting through its brand Totesport. The Tote organises betting into British track pools and there have been recent murmurings of a large scale takeover. We were keen to see how they would do at bingo, and whether they had made an impression within their opening few months. Signing Up Signing up was straight forward, which is what you’d expect from the brainchild of Winston Churchill. The address field is a doddle as all you need to do is input your postcode. After you enter in further contact details and the standard security question you are ready to deposit. Except I wasn’t because totesport needed to verify my age. I simply emailed them a copy of my passport and it was unlocked 2 hours later. Most bingo sites have a minimum deposit of 5, so totesport’s minimum of 10 is annoying, especially as I’ve had no chance to experiment with their product. Still, I suppose their 125% first deposit bonus isn’t too miserly. Homepage The homepage is easy on the eye and is given a playful touch with Channel 4 characters Barry and Toni. They usually hang out at various racecourses, but totesport have recruited them in their bingo drive. The ‘news’ section is empty and the ‘promotions’ tab takes you into the casino. I’m sure that these are just teething problems that totesport will sort out in the near future. ‘Bingo Basics’ includes a FAQ and bingo lingo sections – essential reading for any newbies. Playing Totesport Bingo The bingo took slightly longer than expected to load up, and also requires you to sign in again. Perhaps I am being trivial, but these things can put you in the wrong frame of mind. I was shocked to see that (a) there was only 1 bingo room and (b) there were only 4 players in the afternoon. The bingo itself is shambolic. I found the bingo console hard to navigate, slow and generally just a nightmare. I played a 30p game but it turned out you had to buy 2 cards for a total of 60p. However, you get another card free when you purchase 2 – not a great deal. Once I had bought more cards than I wanted to I couldn’t even find the game which I had so boldly entered. I tried again, incurring another 60p hit on the balance, but in vain. How can I review bingo and chat when I can’t even find it? Worse, they are taking my money! Another problem with this site is that instead of telling you how long it is before a bingo game starts, it tells you the starting time. Totesport are wildly assuming that your computer’s clock is set to exactly to tote time. I emailed totesport to ask about withdrawing bonus money, but the reply I got was most unhelpful. As well as actually tinkering with their bingo product they may want to improve their help service. If I’m not made to feel at ease I’ll withdraw my balance at the drop of a hat. Our Verdict Suffice to say that my affair with Totesport Bingo did not last long – I didn’t manage to succesfully play a bingo game. We will review the site again in 2 months’ time to see if they have made any improvements.
Rep. Barney Frank Online Gambling Bill Gains Four New Co-Sponsors
Representative Barney Frank is quickly piling up co-sponsors for his online gambling Bill that would legalize and regulate Internet gambling in the US. On Friday, four more co-sponsors were added.
