Online Casinos have been around fr sometime now and they have always been controversial.  The government has always been trying to find ways to make it illegal.  Some say that the government should make it legal and just tax it.  It has been said that if they made Online Gambling legal and taxed it that it would be the best thing for today’s economy.  It would give so many people job and the amount of money involved would boost our economy.

Back in 2002,  the Online Gambling web sites brought in an estimated  $2.2 Billion and by 2003 should triple to $6.6 Billion. This amount of money could only help the U.S. economy and give Millions of job opportunities to the citizens of the U.S.  At this time in 2002 there were about 1400 Online Casinos.  The advertising alone on the web sites could bring in Millions of dollars and this would also positively affect the economy.

Other ways that the government gets taxes from gambling is state lotteries.  There are 44 states that currently have lotteries and 29 states have casinos.  It is a known fact that the government makes a very high percentage of it’s income by taxing the gambling industry.  Some would say why stop now,  if the government grabbed a hold of the Online Gambling Industry and used the taxes that they collected from it, it would cure almost every financial issue we have today.

There is also a very big issue with Online Gambling and that is underage gambling. We  have to be responsible for keeping kids from gambling, and there are many companies who have devoted their time, effort and energy to making this possible.  There are many different styles of software that has been developed to keep the Online Gaming Industry kid free.  This is a very important thing to do and has been pretty much perfected by many different companies.

Real Time Gaming Online Casinos are on the rage, and they haven’t had the publicity that they deserve.  Recently, RTG has been getting some recognition due to their very popular  Progressive Slot Machines.   RTG  has also been getting some notice due to the rising amount of Online Casino licences they have been approving.   One Online Casino that uses their software is  UK- based  the Club World Casino.  Club World Casino recently had a huge Jackpot winner and was won on a Progressive Slot Machine.

The Progressive Slot Machine winner was a Canadian women who while playing the Jackpot Pinatas won $270,000.  Her original bet on the Progressive Slot Machine was only $5, as you could imagine she was very excited.  Canada allows Online Gambling , however, the laws are a pretty vague but this does not keep the Canadian’s from playing the Online Casinos.  They see what they can win and they take the risk.

Another huge payout on a Progressive Slot Machine was $2.25 Million on Cryptologic’s Millionaire’s Club Progressive Slot Machine , and this caused competition between all other software providers.  When players see a big Jackpot from a certain software company they have a tendency to go and try out their web sites.  This is only natural, players want to win and they feel that if someone else has one over there then they can to.  Online Casino Software is a growing industry and every day there are upgrades to the software and the competition is great for the consumer/player. 

Another RTG site that players are flocking to is Rushmore Casino, this name is becoming very popular very fast.  Don’t just take my word for it, go check them out yourselves.  The customer base for this web site is growing so fast they have had to expand their web site almost over night.  RTG  powered Online Casinos have so much to offer their players and their customer service is off the chain.  I don’t  know what the next software is going to be but going by what is going on in the Online Casino Software industry right now, it is going to be something great. Good Luck Gaming..

In order to get the best results when you are gambling online there are a few tips that you should always follow.  You should always be alert, most people think that you must have a cocktail in your hand while you are gambling.  I am not saying that you should not drink and gamble, however, you will make better and more responsible decisions if you are sober.  It is up to you whether or not you decide to play poker or any other game while you are intoxicated. My job today is to tell you how to get the best results while gambling.

If you want to learn how to play online games and be more responsible while doing it, here are a few ways:

Feel sure about the decision you are about to make.  Have a positive attitude while gaming. Make sure when you are feeling that you are getting tired , stop playing.  Only bet on games that you understand all the rules.  It does not take long for 1 rule that you did not know, to make you lose some money.  Whenever you are having a losing streak, stop.  Move on to another game or just go take a break.  One of the biggest advantages in Online Gambling is the fact that there are no time limits.  Take your time, and relax.

Another great rule to live by while you are gambling online is playing in moderation, never stay in front of the computer for hours on end.  For several reasons, 1- this is how you can become addicted to it, 2- this is how you stay in control, just like drinking to much, take it in stride. Remember it is a game, no one is forcing you to do it, Online Gambling is designed for entertainment, to relieve stress, not cause it.  Also, never use money you do not have, never borrow money from someone to gamble with.

Enjoy yourself while playing the games, have fun when you win.  Enjoy the challenge while betting on the outcome, it can be a big rush. Especially on the Roulette Wheel, I really enjoy it when the ball is bouncing  in and out of the slots.  Enjoy the thrill of risking a small amount of money for some gain.  There is something about that feeling you get while taking a risk, however, remember this is a form of entertainment and not a way to magically pay your bills.  Bottom line….HAVE FUN!!!!! GOOD LUCK!!!

The (NCRG)  National Center for Responsible Gaming is a organization that promotes a positive, mature attitude toward Online Gaming.  It is very important to have this group and there should be more out there like it because the small percentage of gamblers who do develop an addiction towards gambling give the gambling market a bad name.  Responsible governments could encourage the development of responsible approaches to gaming the same way other good behaviors are promoted.

It has been said that gambler addicts are the same as alcoholics, drug addicts, people who eat to much, even  watch too much television, in the way that they are trying to escape stress in their life or trying to esape from pain in their life.  If this is true, then these people need help and no casino wants to be a part of that, so the end result is we need to figure out a way to help them.  This is why NCRG came to be and is trying to create a more responsible gaming experience for everyone who chooses to play.

There are more responsible gamblers out there than there are addicts, however, the right thing to do is help those who have a tendency to get out of control while gambling.  It takes friends and family to see that someone has  problem and it is their responsibility to step up and take notice, to do something.  When a gambler who has a problem runs out of money they can’t  just stop, they start taking it from other people, usually family, then friends.  So the family need to pay attention to where the money is going.

One truth about gambling is that it is not going to go away, it will always be around and if the government want to take it away then it will just go underground.  This is why we need to take a positive approach and teach people how to gamble responsibly.  A positive, constructive approach will make it more likely that people will manage their money while gambling, start with a budget and know when to stop. Good Luck.

Online Gambling is steadily growing fast and is getting very popular not just in the U.S. but all over the world.  Many Online Casinos are adapting to this by providing there online games in many different languages.  Americans spend an astounding $586 Billion a year on gambling, yes I will repeat it, $586 Billion a year.  Approximately $1.2 Billion of that is spent Online.  They speculate that in the near future that could rise to $10 Billion.

Many Online Casinos allow Americans to play games and place bets on their web sites, however, this may soon change.  There is a pending lawsuit against offshore Internet companies, the suit consist of 14 different  casino owners  being charged with conspiracy.  This lawsuit is based on the Wire Act which was passed in 1961 which makes placing bets over the phone illegal.  While the lawsuit is going on it is still legal to gamble over the Internet.  Only businesses based out of the country are allowed to operate online casinos.

Nevada is the first state to pass a law which keeps people from betting or accepting bets over the Internet.  Even if someone is caught breaking this law  it would be very hard to convict that person in a court of law. Many politicians think that laws like this still need to exist.  Internet gambling web sites can only be prosecuted under the Wire Act. 

Enforcement is the biggest challenge facing lawmakers who want to regulate and eventually ban online gambling altogether.  There is a question to who should be liable when prosecution comes into play.  Should it be the casino owners or should it be the player.  Some people think maybe it should be the banks that could be held responsible for letting the illegal transaction go through.  Who knows what is going to happen, so in the mean time keep on gambling.

Warren Cloud, a 34 year old Online Casino pioneer suffered a massive heart attack while he was on his yacht and passed away due to complications.  Warren was well known for successfully operating more than 10 casinos, and his net worth was estimated at 1 Billion U.S. Dollars.  There are many unanswered question about his recent death.  He was on his yacht just outside the famous Island of Ibiza, Spain.  He was also well known for his part in making the Online Casino Software  “RealTime”  the most popular around. 

Warren Clouds U.S. Online Casino sites were shut down 2 weeks after his death.  A spokesperson stated that people need to remove their money from these sites before July 31st, or risk losing it, there has been no reason expressed why the U.S. sites have been shut down, however, we will soon find out whether it is permanent. 

There has been some negative things said about the late Clouds work ethic but I am choosing not repeat those till they are verified.  What I will tell you is he has had some complaints about players not getting paid, however these complaints are only coming from new player who are misusing promotionl bonuses.  What this mens is that new players are given free money to play real games. They win with the money then ask for the winnings.  This is not how the promotional bonus program works,  you must keep investing the promotional bonus money till your winnings equal the original deposit.

As  stated before when Mr. Cloud passed away he was currently operating 10 casinos and was making Millions, obviously he was good at what he did.  Unfortunately because of his untimely demise he has left some creditors with some money owed, we will see what happens with the outcome of this. My heart goes out to the family members of Mr. Cloud and hope all is well. God Bless.

Many people believe that Online Casinos encourage underage kids to visit their web sites, this could not be further from the truth.  It is a misconception that they want them to go anywhere near their sites, and  for many different reasons not just because it is illegal.  Online Casinos only want players who are 18 years old and that know the risk that they are taking. Does underage Online gambling happen?  Unfortunately, it does, however it also even happens at Casinos on land as well. 

There are many ways on how to keep are kids out of the Online Casinos, however, it really starts with the parents.  Companies have spent many millions of dollars developing software to keep kids from gambling online as well as other sites that are not meant for kids.  If the parents do not go the extra mile and install these onto their computers then we are still going to have this problem.

There is no substitute for parenting, know what your kids are doing when they are online, when they close that door you do not know what they are doing.  My suggestion to you as a parent is do not have a computer in the kids bedroom, keep it out in the family room because there are a lot worse things on the Internet than Online Casinos.  You can even get  software that tells you where they have been on the Internet and others that keep them from going to web sites with certain key words, that you program into it.

Parents, also pay attention to there spending habits,  the easiest way to make a deposit at a Online Casino is with a credit/debit card. If your kids are still living at home you have ways to access their credit card transactions.  Obviously you should speak with them before it gets this far but sometimes you are busy and work two jobs, we understand.  It is just very simple to take care of underage gambling,  you do your job and we will do ours.  Now we are not telling you to tell the kids not to ever gamble, just until they have become an adult and can make educated decisions for themselves. Thank You for helping us help you keep the kids safe.
