Online Betting in Belarus Begins in April

Online Betting in Belarus Begins in April
Online Betting in Belarus Begins in April

Belarus is a country in Eastern Europe, a former part of the Soviet Union, now under the rule of the somewhat conservative, Aleksandr Lukashenko, who has been the country's president for two decades...

...And though it may seem isolated on the surface, Belarus is keeping up with trends. In December, the country's government made cryptocurrencies legal, as it did ICOs and smart contracts. Now, at long last, online gambling's time has come, too.

Roll On April

At the beginning of August, the news came that Lukashenko signed the decree turned to law that's allowing for online gambling to be legalized. This was completed after Belarus Minister of Taxes and Levies, Sergei Nalivaiko, advanced the bill that was to regulate online gambling...

...Tax ministry of this country has now revealed that the online gambling market will take off in April next year. Deputy Tax and Duties Minister, Vladimir Mukvich, said that beginning on April 1, 2019 operators can begin applying for the gaming license.

The Decree No. 305 will set the minimum age of 21 for online gambling, as well as the obligatory identity checks and a number of other "strict conditions for operators." This will be put in motion with the aim of protecting the population of about 10 million people in this country.

Mukvich commented, confirming these claims: “This will be done not with the aim of minimising the number of facilities, but to provide maximum protection to the players.”

Reality Check

Although legalization of online gambling in Belarus is a big step forward for the industry, not everyone expects that it will pull in a huge revenue. One of the reasons is that online gambling is a bit taboo there, but the leading reason could be that there won't be too many operators.

"We cannot say that there will be a large number of them in 2019-2020. We do not see any preconditions for such a trend," said Mukvich when asked about the operators who could apply for license.

Plus, the strict rules might prove too off putting for some operators who will need to deposit funds into designated account to cover any taxes in the event of their business demise. Belarus tax officials will have a special payment system to help them keep an eye on operators and will monitor all transactions.

Gamblers Who Beat The Odds

Latest Casino Bonuses
Gamblers Who Beat The Odds
Gamblers Who Beat The Odds

Do some gamblers beat the odds on a regular basis? The answer is of course they do.

Is it an easy process?

Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't. It depends on which game you are playing, the makeup of the casino, and even the casino itself. But the good news is it can happen.

Michael Shackleford is a young man who is known as the Wizard of Odds. He was given the nickname because of his ability to overcome the odds at various casino games.

Michael is a winner.

He earns a good living analyzing casino games. A resident of Las Vegas, NV., he is employed as an adjunct professor of casino mathematics at the University of Nevada.

He admits to launching his gambling career at age 11. He has been a consistent winner at blackjack, video poker and sports betting for the past 20 years.

Shackleford avoids losing by staying away from mindless games like slot machines and keno. The more complex a game of chance is, the easier it is to overcome the odds, he says. That is why he enjoys video poker.

Blackjack or 21 can be beaten if a player uses the basic strategy to shift the odds to his favor. The strategy has been developed over the years by such blackjack experts as Edward O. Thorp.

Here is the strategy in capsule form If you have eight or under, take a hit regardless of what the dealer shows. If you have a nine and the dealer shows three, four, five or six, go down for double. If the dealer is showing two or seven, hit. If you have 10 and the dealer a card between two and nine, double down. If the dealer has a 10 or ace, hit. If you have 11 and the dealer is showing two through 10, double down. If the dealer has an ace, hit. If you have `1, hit when the dealer shows two, three or seven. Stand if the dealer shows four, five or six. If you have 13 through 16 and the dealer has seven or higher, hit. If the dealer has two through six, stand. And always stand if you have 17 through 21. Bill Zender...

....is known as the ultimate gambler insider. He is a former dealer, professional card counter and casino floor manager. He says a good card counter can gain a 1.5 percent advantage over blackjack.

To beat the odds, Zender advises players to watch for sloppy dealers who have a habit of exposing their hole card.

He also likes roulette and notes that roulette wheels can become worn and biased so that certain numbers are repeated. Quite a few years ago a player named Joseph Jagger found such a wheel at the famed Monte Carlo Casino and won more than $400,000, equivalent to $7.8 million today.

Zender recommended against playing slot machines. If you must play the slots, he says, stay away from the penny slots since they give the casino a 15 to 20 percent advantage over the players. Instead play the $5 or higher slots and play them for the maximum.

Stay away from keno. Some casinos have a built-in advantage of up to 35 percent. He points out that nobody has ever hit 20 out of 20 spots in the history of keno because the odds against it happening are one in 3.5 quintillion.

Video poker gives the House a slim 0.46 advantage to expert players. Most players are not that skillful, so study up on the odds before you play.

In the late 1940s

Two college buddies at the University of Chicago took a break from their classes and rode their motorcycles to Las Vegas to try to win at roulette. Albert 'Al' Hibbs was a math student and Roy Wolford was studying to be a physician.

They began taking notes on the winning numbers on roulette wheels and discovered biases in a couple of machines. They played those machines and won enough money to buy a boat which they used to sail around the world.

Hibbs

became famous by teaming up with one of his professors to write a textbook, 'Quantum Mechanics and Path Integrals.' After graduation, he joined NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory where he become the mission announcer -- the 'Voice of JPL.' He played a major role in the launch of Explorer 1, the first American satellite to orbit the earth six weeks after Russia launched Sputnik.

You can beat the odds. It takes work and practice, but it can happen. Good luck. Let the games begin.

Winneroo Rebrands To Crystal Spins

Latest Casino Bonuses
Winneroo Rebrands To Crystal Spins
Winneroo Rebrands To Crystal Spins

In an ever-changing world of online casinos where brands get overnight overhauls and expensive upgrades, it has become almost unusual not to relaunch under a new name at some point.

One such venue is CrystalSpins, or Winneroo, as you might have known it up until last week. That’s right, the website is now fully live under a new name, but no need to worry though – player accounts including usernames, passwords and payment details have remained exactly the same.

On the other hand, a couple of things have changed, as you might notice on your way to the login page. The brand’s domain extension and logo now look completely different… pretty logical, isn’t it?

The Kitchen Dance Is Still On

The initial offer and other accompanying deals have also remained unaltered, meaning that the links and banners have been updated automatically. Players can still take pleasure in daily spins, loyalty perks, fringe VIP benefits, plus a chance to earn referral bonuses and exclusive rewards!

Furthermore, the signature kitchen video is still playing, so if you need a good occasional laugh, feel free to jump to their homepage and take a quick view… it’s quite hysterical!

What’s The Color of…

Winneroo, or CrystalSpins to be precise, has a very modern and user-friendly touch, thanks to its well-designed interface and a carefully picked color palette. There aren’t too many categories on deck, and navigation is reduced to minimum for better user experience. That being said, you can either take a look at the site’s games portfolio or the promotions… provided you have successfully logged in.

The most important aspect of every casino is, of course, its gaming collection, but checking out terms and conditions, as well as payment methods and processing times is equally important. You will not find a massive gaming platform should you decide to pay them a visit, but you will also not lack any category, since all titles are sorted according to the genre they belong to.

The hottest titles at this moment are Blood Suckers, Asteroids, Guns n Roses, Blackjack, Elvis The King and so on… Have a look around!

Leading software aggregators, Pragmatic Play, have set a foothold in a southern European country on the Iberian Peninsula, Portugal, by signing an agreement with one of its foremost venues – Casino Portugal. The deal will see a full-scale integration of video slots and live casino games, famous for their innovative features and advanced mechanics…

Simultaneously, the supplier’s access to a brand-new market will allow players admission to top performing titles such as Hot Safari, Jade Butterfly, as well as The Catfather

Conquering New Fronts

In a short interview about the company’s recent expansion, chief commercial officer at Pragmatic Play, Melissa Summerfield said:

“We are delighted to have agreed this deal with Casino Portugal, one of the market’s most respected operators. This represents the first time video slots fans will have access to our products in the Portuguese market, and we are looking forward to making the most of the opportunities this agreement presents.”

In the same fashion, Dr Antonio Laranjo, Co-CEO of Casino Portugal, expressed bursts of excitement for launching Pragmatic Play’s industry-leading content. The gambling enterprise is thrilled and delighted to be the provider’s first Portuguese partner.

… and Entering New Verticals

Apart from Casino Portugal, the country has to offer two more famous gateways to superior gambling – Casino Lisboa and Casino Estoril. However, the deal with the new establishment has come right after the company’s expansion into other regulated markets in Europe, mostly by signing a deal with Kindred.

The software company has also entered the live casino vertical after acquiring Extreme Live Gaming, enhancing its portfolio in volume by adding not only video slots, scratchcards and bingo, but blackjack, baccarat, roulette and jacks or better as well.

Jackpot.de To Integrate Content From Bgaming

SoftSwiss and Bgaming, two respectable companies that have combined their brands to offer both catalogs of white-label software and cryptocurrency products, are entering a new phase of unity by signing a partnership with Jackpot.de.

The rapidly growing brand decided to include its games on Germany’s popular social casino platform after a successful showcasing at this year’s iGB Live! In Amsterdam.

A Multiple Contract

Apart from signing a supply deal with Jackpot.de whose platform is centered around gameplay for virtual chips, Bgaming has also pinned multiple agreements with other websites relative to the brand, includng MyJackpot.com, VeraVegas.com and Merkur24.com.

An important component of each site is its internal credit system that can be augmented via social activities and real money acquisitions. More importantly, the website’s social status has even launched a promotional campaign on public television, becoming a major source of success in Germany. In addition, other countries where the Jackpot brand is among top-performing domains, have also initiated a similar project.

iGaming Sphere Expansion

Since the merging, Bgaming has invested a lot of energy into making integrations with potential industry partners. The team is on constant lookout, finding new and innovative ways to incorporate its catalog of vibrant casino games and widen the iGaming sphere.

A lot of highly rated gaming platforms such as 7Bit Casino, Oshi, BetChan and mBit now feature supplier’s fantastic releases, including Aztec Magic Deluxe, Platinum Lightning Deluxe and Fire Lightning. The library is perhaps small in size, but the provider has promised a new product line until the end of 2018.

In summary, the brand’s offerings will launch alongside other top-ranking software releases from BetSoft and Pragmatic Play, guaranteeing countless hours of entertainment on Jackpot.de.

An important aspect of growing a successful business in the gambling industry is achieved through strengthening the company’s leadership. On that account, BtoBet has made the next step towards bolstering the group’s structure by appoiting Jean-Baptiste Cerna as its Head of Gaming.

After entering the Peruvian market, the major sportsbook and iGaming provider is using all the necessary opportunities to keep up with the fast-paced and ever-changing industry. By appointing a huge expert such as Cerna, who possesses enormous knowledge of various gaming scenarios, the company will ensure a leading position in the industry, and, according to Jean-Baptiste, his new role will be based on a threefold principle:

“My first responsibility is to bring a direct business point of view in different aspects of our Gaming Platform. Having a clear vision of the needs from both the operator’s side and ultimately the players themselves, I have to translate those requirements in evolutions and functionalities to make our platform a ‘must to play on’.”

The expert added that his new mission as head of gaming at BtoBet also includes the improvement of clients’ operations, as well as to establish strategy that would ensure maximum player experience on all gaming platforms. In addition to his statement, the group’s chairman, Alessandro Fried, said that adding Cerna to the team will help transforming the company’s strategic growth, which is crucial for further evolution on the market and the overall improvement of products.

Perhaps the greatest asset of BtoBet is its talented and well-trained development team, who manages to completely personalize sports betting opportunities and iGaming offerings, both for mobile and retail. The company’s technical branches are located all over Europe, but its main teams are stationed in Macedonia, Serbia, Italy and so on.

Mybet To File For Insolvency

Mybet To File For Insolvency
Mybet To File For Insolvency

Management board of Mybet Holding announced this past Tuesday that the company is preparing to file for insolvency, soon after the demise of talks with a key strategic investor...

...The agreement with the said unnamed investor was not reached after the signing of a non-exclusive term sheet last month. The company owes €4 million in sports betting.

Bleak Ending

Mybet's official statement says that the background for the insolvency proceedings is the "failure of discussions with potential investors." Another big contributing factor is the Frankfurt Tax Office’s refusal of application that was filed by Personal Exchange International, Mybet's company based in Malta, that was supposed to "suspend enforcement regarding outstanding betting taxes."

"Today, the discussions with a strategic investor reported… on July 13 regarding the possible sale of the online business of Mybet Holding was closed. These talks failed due to conditions set by the investors which could not be fulfilled,” reads the statement.

The Curtain Falls

After the talks with the investors have stalled, Mybet's share price has been in sharp decline. The talks were unsuccessful because of different opinions on the implementation of strategic and operational collaboration in the online sector.

The company's customers, however, will not feel the negative impact of this insolvency proceedings, due to the company's operations under MGA license requirements.

“While insolvency procedures are under way, existing customers should not be affected as Mybet operates under the Malta Gaming Authority license requirements which protect customers in numerous ways. The service continues to be available for customers until further notice. So currently there should be no effect.”

Things were going quite well last year, when Mybet did a complete revamp of their sports and casino offerings and Evolution Gaming helped them enrich their live table games collection.

Pragmatic Play Live in Italy Via Kindred Deal

Brand new partnerships between large iGaming companies are spreading like wildfire, except, well... partnerships are good and wildfires are not. In one such sweeping move, Pragmatic Play, a leading software provider to casinos everywhere, signed a contract with Kindred Group who has been quite active recently.

Forza Italia

This deal will secure another spot for Pragmatic Play's brand of slot games and other products in Italy, as Unibet.it casino punters will now have exclusive access to their portfolio. Previously, the company reached agreements with OIA Services and Betsson's StarCasino that launched their services in this country...

...Pragmatic has released its Leprechaun Song slot this month whilst in June the company acquired the stakes in Extreme Live Gaming.

On the other hand, the brand has been kept constantly busy in this last month, mostly through similar deals with Hard Rock AC, where they will be providing casino and sports betting services and also in Sweden, where their license application is awaiting a happy conclusion.

Big Expectations

Both companies' officials have made their remarks in connection with this partnership. Pragmatic Play's Chief Commercial Officer, Melissa Summerfield, commented: “We are very excited to have reached this agreement with Kindred Group. They have a far-reaching network and it’s great that our games will be available to their Italian customers."

Join Intertops $1,000 Sugar Rush Slots Tournament!

Join Intertops $1,000 Sugar Rush Slots Tournament!

It’s raffle time all over the casino universe and Intertops is running a two-week slots tournament until September 2nd, including a $1,000 prize and Betsoft’s favourite releases – Sugar Pop and Sugar Pop 2!

Again? Okay, we’re completely aware of the fact that the ongoing trivia on Facebook to win 4,000 spins has got you fully occupied, but we wanted to do you a favor and provide you with an additional offer, in case there’s room for more excitement in your life.

Easy As Poppin’ Candies

Given these points, for the next two weeks, the operator is hosting a $1,000 Sugar Rush Slot Tournament, featuring two of the industry’s sweetest games. Mmmm, sweet...

Participants can automatically earn points by playing either of the two installments and the top ten earners will walk away with $1,000 in cash!

As an illustration, punters can earn one point for every spin of $.10 or more on any of the featured games from Betsoft. The casino will award the first prize of $300 to a player with the most points, but all rewards must be rolled over at least once before the withdrawal.

Getting Access To Higher Payouts

Both games offer a lot of popping candies, so when three or more symbols of the same color touch they explode, allowing new sweets to take their place. This way, an entirely new set of combinations is generated and players can advance through levels to get better opportunities and hit more powerful candies for higher payouts.

Should you decide to go for the sequel, pay attention to clusters of the extra spin candy. Bigger clusters save wild symbols in place and detonate a Candy Bomb when five or more clusters are produced. This feature results in massive wins, but you also might want to consider a Morphing Golden Wild candy that changes shape to match any candy near it. Discover more details by visiting the supplier’s video channel or simply navigate to our review page.

Oh, and good luck!

Also to be included in this package are Wazdan's unique tools and features like Volatility Levels, Energy Saving Mode, Unique Gambling Feature...

...and the first batch of games to make it to GoWild's platform will include the upcoming Mayan Ritual, Black Hawk Deluxe and eagerly anticipated Los Muertos which will go live around Halloween.

Happy Returns

Both companies' representatives have had their say after the deal was finalized. GoWild's Director of Gaming Content, Anthony Berningham, commented: “With best-of-breed content from all the leading providers on our platform, we feel the fit with Wazdan is excellent. Their world-class technology and games help to expand the gaming experience further which is why we wanted to bring them on-board.

CEO of Vegas Kings, Ashley Adir, is certain that the company’s value to the table is helping both casinos to be at the forefront of the industry, especially after ­implementing creative development requests such as full HD TV adverts, social media adverts, HTML mailers etc.

In like manner, working with Vegas Kings is an exciting venture, and signing another year with the agency is thrilling as always. Both resorts owe much to their ingenuity, and being one of the leading operators in New Jersey would not be possible without them, said Ed Andrewes, CEO of Resorts Digital Gaming, LLC.

Formula for Design

According to reputable industry experts, Vegas Kings represents one of the most experienced web design and development agencies on the market.

Answer Trivia On Facebook To Win 4k Spins On Intertops

You might want to get ready to take notes before proceeding, so make sure you have a pen and a piece of paper next to you, or simply turn on the calendar app on your phone. This week, Intertops is running a trivia contest on Facebook from August 16th to 19th, awarding a total of 4,000 extra spins…

Additionally, the operator is giving away 2,000 more to five players who enter the final draw, so get that grey matter working, and jump over to their profile if you want to win a share.

The questions are about Intertops’ casino games, and since their portfolio consists of Betsoft, Worldmatch and Lucktap, it should be quite easy to answer, even the slightest details…

50 Extra Spins Every Day

Intertops will post new questions on Facebook each day, and participants who answer the questions will be able to see their posts the next day. Therefore, the operator will award 10 players with 50 additional rounds each day!

However, since there can be more than one correct answer, winners may also be chosen at random. At the end of the trivia, players will enter the final draw and five of them will scoop another 2,000 spins! How awesome is that?

Know Casino’s Favorites

Intertops is also known as a poker room, so it is very important to concentrate on its casino section and notice the popular releases first. For example, Betsoft has recently launched Ogre Empire, a Shrek-like creature that terrorizes a fantasy kingdom. Furthermore, under the Worldmatch tab, you can find classic slot, Hercules, which is highly liked among regular customers.

Digging through the catalog can take you further to Lucktap’s editions, but also open a path towards table games such as Blackjack or Baccarat. Take a look around and you might see a pattern that could help you answer as many questions as you can! After all, the most attractive poker platform is known for offering only the best deals, and this one is definitely a smacker.

Have fun!!

Roaring 21 Adds Key Changes To The Lobby

If you pay regular visits to our news section, perhaps an article from March might’ve caught your attention, since our announcements of new casinos simply cannot go unnoticed. Guess what, the casino’s name is Roaring 21 and they’re back with some slick refreshments to save the day!

The operator has spent countless hours working behind the scenes to implement the industry’s latest features into the platform and make the whole gaming experience even better for the players. Since the launch, Roaring 21 has come up with incredible ideas of presenting its gaming hub and what better way to perfect user experience than making key information more transparent and accessible?

One Click Cashier

Part of the newly implemented upgrades is the expandable menu above the game categories, easily accessible from the lobby. Okay, this isn’t something to brag about, but it is very important for the players, since the cashier is now available at just one click, making deposits faster and easier than ever before.

The feature is included in both desktop and mobile version of site, so there is no need to worry if you play on the go…

Also, redeeming an exclusive coupon has been simplified, as no copy/paste requests are included whatsoever. Due to an increased number of retyping errors, designers have come up with a solution that is good for both the players and the casino itself. Here’s how it works:

A player logs in and heads straight to the promotions page in the lobby. Upon opening, they will be presented with a list of all available coupons. With the help of a single click, they can easily select a preferred offer and activate it on spot. The interface will then bring down a menu “Deposit & Complete” giving the players an opportunity to make the purchase. In case a player wants to cancel the transaction and select another coupon, the menu will offer them a prompt.

Easy Access To Comp Points As Well

Comp points are now easily claimed by clicking the section in the expandable menu and launching a popup. Players are allowed to control the number of points they want to convert into cash and long navigating through options is no longer required. One more for the players!

All things considered, Roaring 21 is hurling towards better user experience with newly installed traits, and improving the way players interact is one of the key aspects of running a successful online casino. We wish them good luck!
