Find list of best Australia online casinos where you can play for Bitcoins.

Talking about specific ventures and regions where the progressions of the cryptographic money have so far been more clear than in others, we should say Bitcoin betting in any case. Genuine cash is by all accounts progressively losing its energy and significance in virtual club gaming, as BTC gives off an impression of being intended to explicitly serve the necessities of this incredibly sought after and exceptionally different field.

Obviously, right now, bitcoins are not an extensively acknowledged strategy for installment in all current Internet club, poker rooms, and on sports wagering entryways, however the virtual cash has all that it takes to wind up noticeably one. Today, betting organizations make a decent attempt to remain as alluring to their clients as they can, and offer the absolute best selection of administrations, including the installment/saving money openings. As a general rule, individuals want to make stores and get their rewards and rewards in bitcoins, and that is for certain brief comment considered by betting administrators who are far sufficiently located, the all the more with the goal that BTC has various clear points of interest over conventional monetary forms.

Betting with bitcoin is, in established truth, something of an exacting gift from heaven to club diversion darlings, particularly since through bitcoins the business has been much more promoted, as it has turned out to be available even to players in nations and purviews where internet betting is quite disallowed or intensely limited. All you have to begin playing different clubhouse recreations for Bitcoin is only a BTC wallet, and a legitimate email, there's nothing more to it.

Indeed, today you can purchase garments, hardware, plane tickets, drinks in bars, and even request pizza for bitcoins.

Aside from that, BTC exchanges are totally unknown, which basically implies, your bank or expense office will never learn you are betting or making sports wagers on the web, and that will altogether diminish the conceivable danger of them giving careful consideration to your accounts. In all honesty talking, speculators from everywhere throughout the world had longed for legitimately playing clubhouse amusements and getting winning without the learning of third people and authorities for a considerable length of time, and their fantasies were at long last enlivened by Mr. Satoshi Nakamoto's creation that we as a whole know today under the name of bitcoins.

The other thing that makes Bitcoin so unimaginably famous is the unparalleled speed of exchanges that the BTC framework empowers its clients to perform. Essentially, the assigned measure of bitcoins or milli-bitcoins is sent from shared inside minutes or seconds, and that is presumably something that is difficult to envision for holders of customary bank cards and clients of wire administrations. Over that, these exchanges are decentralized, which means there isn't any administrative body in the framework, or a focal vault where all the current BTCs are put away. Bitcoin are simply created (mined) by unique hardware and sent on ask for at whatever point an exchange has been started.

Malta to test eventual fate of DLT and cryptographic money

As the value of Bitcoin skyrockets to over $14,000, the Malta Gaming Authority (MGA) has called for companies to register their interest in Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) and cryptocurrency future projects.

The MGA has this week announced its intentions to gather information and opinions on these two verticals as it “actively considers allowing the application of cryptocurrencies and DLT by its licensees.”

However, the Maltese regulatory body highlighted in order for these changes to come into effect, these two potential markets must protect consumers and the country’s reputation by preventing crime or money laundering related activities.

In an official statement, the MGA said: “With a number of innovative projects and concepts already available on the market, the Authority is reaching out to interested parties willing to share information regarding their cryptocurrencies and/or DLT projects.

“The MGA is currently in the process of establishing the sandboxed (test and learn) live environment for cryptocurrency usage within the remote gaming sector, whilst also drafting guiding principles for the application of DLT and its various adaptations within the industry.”

The MGA is collecting information until January 2018 and will evaluate all submissions, aiming to publish DLT guiding principles before the end of the first quarter next year.

Start to Play: Legalization of Online Gambling in Pennsylvania

Governor Tom Wolf has now signed sweeping new legislation that will allow gambling online, in truck stops and in airports across the state of Pennsylvania.

The fourth state to allow online gaming, Pennsylvania is also the first to allow online play for both commercial casinos and its lucrative state lottery, which delivered $1bn in profits on $4bn in sales.

The move has been widely perceived as a way to plug a large hole in government finances, with tax collected from the existing casino industry worth $1.4bn in the most recent fiscal year, the highest sum of any state.

Ten of Pennsylvania’s 12 existing casinos can bid on a licence for a new, smaller casino with hundreds of slot machines. The costs for each licence starts at $7.5m, with a table games certificate costing an extra $2.5m, for a casino limited to 750 slots and 30 table games.

Casinos will be able to offer interactive gambling parlours in eight airports, including Pittsburgh and Philadelphia, while qualifying truck stops can operate up to five video gaming terminals.

Wolf commented: “There’s been a lot of pressure from a lot of places in the commonwealth to actually expand this, and we do need some recurring revenue.

"Again, the goal has been all along to do what’s prudent, not cannibalise existing gambling revenue coming to the state, and I think what we’re settling on will actually do that.”

It’s been four months since the budget stalemate gripped Pennsylvania, with lawmakers expecting the gambling legislation to produce over $200m a year from casino licence fees and taxes to help reduce the projected $2.2bn deficit.

However, opponents to the bill say it was passed too quickly, with many protesting that they barely had a chance to read it, and warning that it carried unforeseen consequences and contained a number of sweetheart deals for casinos.

New Head of Global Gaming

Online gaming supplier Global Gaming has announced the appointment of Elaine Gardiner as its new Head of Affiliates.

Gardiner joins from Cherry Group, having worked for the operator’s affiliate division since 2013, most recently holding the position of Senior Affiliate Program manager. Gardiner also previously served as an affiliate manager for online sportsbook and casino site YouWin and has more than eight years’ experience in the igaming industry having held several affiliate management roles.

In her new role, she will be responsible for the development of the company’s affiliate department as the company looks to further expand its brands which include Ninja Casino, Kotikasino and Viking Slots.

December is Time for Locals to Play at Vietnamese Casinos

The Vietnamese government has reportedly issued a decree allowing its citizens to gamble at selected casinos with effect from 1 December.

Under the newly issued Ministry of Finance decree No 102/2017/TT-BTC, Vietnamese citizens who are over 21 years old and who have a declared monthly income of at least VND10m (US $440) for a period of at least a year before they choose to enter a casino will be eligible to do so.

In January 2017, the Vietnamese government approved a three-year trial period in which casinos could accept bets from Vietnamese citizens, where previously only foreign gamblers were allowed to enter Vietnamese casinos and gamble. This decree is the latest step in effectively regulating this process.

There are, however, restrictions on which casinos can offer gambling and only those resorts which have a total capital investment of at least $2bn are eligible to welcome Vietnamese gamblers. This threshold includes both gaming and non-gaming facilities.

Local gamblers will be required to pay VND1m for a 24-hour casino pass or VND25m for a month-long pass. At the same time, casino operators are responsible for collecting and accounting separately the proceeds from these pass sales, paying the proceeds back to the state budget within a period outlined in Vietnamese corporate income tax law.

The decree also stipulates that casino operators must open log books or issue electronic cards to monitor the people who are allowed to enter the casino, with those records being archived for a minimum five-year period and subject to examination by state agencies. This is to aid in the assessment of the impact of gambling on the Vietnamese population.

Lucky Betting Number

Earlier I kept away from the thought to enjoy casino for real money and did not imagine what it is like. I wondered how people entertain themselves. When my students try to play or to have a side job as croupier, I had admonished for this stuff because it would have an adverse effect on their future job of lawyers. But nowadays I am the part of the gaming business. Sometimes I feel uncomfortable because I am surrounded by men only on the meetings.

People that are connected with casinos have been stood in another light for me. They are high- educated and intelligent, with the sense of delicacy. But then I was offered to remain with them I had 2 different feelings. Each conversion is the fund of knowledge and experience. From the one side, gambling and casino games are things that not for me because I am a teacher.

But from the other side I understood then you make something and like it, you could not leave it. One cannot limit the person because in the other case he will find the place to gamble. However, what this game be like? I want that every game in each country will be civilized. It is my purpose as the compulsive player. I actively learn the foreign experience in this sphere.

First my visit was to Prague and the next to Switzerland. I visited USA, Las Vegas and it got the great influence on my gambling vision. It will be better if each country has its own little gambling place and appeal a huge amount of players. It is important that each person has the opportunity to spend the pleasure in online casino in order that gambling houses exist as the full-time enterprises of the holidays. 

Some years left before I crossed the threshold of casino place and what did I see? Nothing awful! There was beautiful ladies and gentlemen, the worthy atmosphere. Play or not to play – it is your choice! I am able to notice that some countries have the problem with the culture of relax. Recently I visited Finland and was amazed of fines’ time spending. They are drinking a lot!

The great part of people that work in the gambling industry do not play casino games. It is not because they are afraid to lose money. Their excitement has another demonstration. Each day they have a lot of adrenaline that is why they are not able to seek in the games.


At the end of my story, I want to tell that there is no bad numbers in the game as there is no bad weather or miserable days. Sometimes there are circumstances that can spoil the day. I believe that each day and each number is happy!

The Second Casino in the Gold Coast

The government of Queensland has announced this week it has granted permission to build a second casino in the Gold Coast region.

According to local media, Mayor Tom Tate revealed he had received a written letter from State Development Minister Anthony Lynham in which he pledged support to erect a second casino resort on the Australian coast.

Although further details haven’t been disclosed, including whether the venue would be located on private or public land, it is expected the proposed second casino would be built on a large Southport site which would include Queen’s Park Tennis Club and the Southport Bowls Club.

Following the go-ahead, the state government will shortly launch a campaign seeking international developers and investors.

Despite its latest intentions, the state government ended the China-listed ASF’s $2.7bn plans for an integrated resort in the Gold Coast early in August.

“When we get knocked down, we get back up,” said Tate referring to the rejected ASF’s project.

“Council will withdraw its proposal (to build the integrated resort on the Southport Bowls Club site) to ensure everyone has an even playing field and we’ll have a look and test the market to see who’s got the best option for the city.

“When you put that together initially, you’re trying to go ‘well this will activate our CBD’. I’d say to everyone now — to give certainty to the bowls club and tennis club — that it’s opened up to the whole of the city and that site is no longer necessary,” he concluded.

Meanwhile in the neighbouring state of New South Wales, the poker industry has rejected a proposed AUS$5 spin limit in video poker machines at Canberra casinos.

Speaking to local news outlets, Ross Ferrar, Chief Executive of Gaming Technologies Association, said that the attempt to create a separate set of rules had been "a source of great frustration". He suggested unless this rule is discarded or the same stake restrictions were introduced citywide poker machines would not be viable.

“It is very difficult for us to understand how it would be possible to provide the Canberra casino with unique games with unique machines at a cost that would be anywhere near capable of sustaining a business case for their purchase," he said.

"Developing a game for a poker machine is a complex and very expensive process."

Online Gambling & Fake News

The Sunday Times has claimed that gambling operators are using a loophole to target minors, creating games that appeal to children without necessarily breaching The Gambling Commission’s terms and conditions.

The national newspaper’s investigation reported that operators were luring children to gamble with their favourite cartoon and storybook characters in online betting games.

The issue raised from the inquiry concerns the fact that stakes on the aforementioned games range from 1p to £600, and can be played for free without registration or any age verification checks. Some of the companies and games named include Peter Pan on the Paddy Power website, Jack and the Beanstalk on the 888 website and Moon Princess on the Casinoland website.

The industry has continued to deny such allegations, stating they have not deliberately tried to entice minors to use their games. Nonetheless, the Advertising Standards Agency has said it will investigate the claims.

In an open letter to the Editor of The Sunday Times, the Gambling Commission stated: “Protecting children from being harmed or exploited by gambling is a clear priority for the Gambling Commission. Where businesses fail to protect vulnerable people, especially children, we have and will continue to take firm action.”

Some believe gambling companies are to blame for the worrying statistics around underage gambling, with Dominic Lawson from The Daily Mail stating: “Gambling firms targeting children are just as wicked as drug pushers.”

However, others believe the investigation to be a farce, with GBGC Director Warwick Bartlett commenting: “Advertising is expensive, and gambling companies measure the return of every advert that is placed against new accounts vs cost, known in the trade as customer acquisition cost. Why would a gambling company spend millions trying to entice children to gamble when at the point of sale they cannot open an account?

“The company’s KYC would block them, they cannot deposit unless they are 18+ years. This is fake news. Cartoon characters are often used instead of real people because computer graphics are cheaper than paying for overpriced stars. Oh, and by the way they do not only appeal to children, adults like them too.”

Critics of the gambling industry have decided that only children or minors enjoy fictional characters and cartoons, which simply isn’t the case. “On a flight back from Las Vegas I walked down the aisle of the plane and saw thirty percent of adults watching the latest hit cartoon film Despicable Me,” added Bartlett.

The commission has passed on a Sunday Times dossier of over 30 games to the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) for investigation. According to The Gambling Commission, nearly half a million children have been found to gamble in England and Wales every week, according to The Gambling Commission. Furthermore, in a report released last year in November, 6% of 11 to 15-year-olds have gambled online using funds from their parents’ accounts.

Whilst there is a common view that should these shocking statistics should be blamed on the gambling industry, some would argue there is an issue here with parental negligence.

Industry expert and gambling consultant, Steve Donoughue states: “The fear that we have an epidemic of gambling addicted children lured online by cartoon characters used in online slots is nonsense and The Timesshould know better.

“Yes we have sites which allow people to play for free without age verification and so logically this could mean children play them. Does this mean the industry is targeting children? No it doesn't. They aren't allowed to gamble and age checks will pick them up if they try and play for money.

“So will they become addicts if they play for free? Probably not because children have been playing gambling style games for centuries and still less than 1% get a problem. But what about the adults that let their kids play using their accounts? That would be a parenting issue, where are the failed politicians making a fuss about that?”

Aristocrat Ended the Great Acquisition

Australian slot machine manufacturer Aristocrat Leisure has announced the completion of a deal to acquire Israel-based social gaming company Plarium Global in a $500m deal.

The deal, which was initially agreed in August, sees Aristocrat pay an upfront fee of $500m cash and includes an earn-out arrangement payable to Plarium shareholders following the end of calendar years 2017 and 2018 respectively.

The company has 1,200 employees in five different gaming studios and a number of offices in Europe, Israel and the US.

In a statement, Aristocrat’s Managing Director Trevor Croker said: “This acquisition is truly compelling as it increases our presence in the high-growth mobile gaming market and substantially increases the digital segment’s pro forma earnings contribution to Aristocrat.

“The acquisition reiterates our firm commitment to pursuing high growth adjacencies and increasing our recurring revenue base.

“Importantly, the acquisition is expected to be EPS accretive in year one, and key management personnel have remained in the business.

“We are delighted to have Plarium and its exceptionally talented team join the Aristocrat family; we look forward to continue building our already very successful digital business together, for the benefit of Aristocrat’s shareholders and other stakeholders.”

How to determine compulsive gambler?

Against the respect of the person to online roulette you can without doubt determine his common relation to casino games. For instance, aggressive type of the game is common for risk people as they are interested to get more money frequently. Nevertheless, careful gamblers will play attentively and with great economy.

But sometimes both careful and risk players have to use certain system of the game because without chosen and accurate strategy the game will not be in plus. In this article I recommend to pay attention to some important gimmicks from which the certain system will depend on.

Begin to form your own system from this moment. Before playing online roulette for real money, determine the limit of the money that you are willing to spend sitting at the roulette table. This sum has to become max sum of your outgoings, independently of the winning prizes.

The max bet in online roulette game depends on the casino places. There are places with low max bets but you can find casinos with good max bets. When you estimate the sum of the money losses, you are willing to choose the certain type of roulette. For instance, if you can spend $500 on online roulette, then you can make more bets on the table where max bet is $50 than on the table with $150.

In order to play more often and win, player has to spend some time learning what type of online roulette to choose. Classical variant is French roulette but you have to remember that game with 2 zeros is more difficult.

Having estimate the roulette system and analyzing the previous numbers you can make bets for real money. But if the bets on easy chances do not have coming winnings, you is able to risk and have cooler efforts – just increase the bet. But it is important to remember that such roulette tactic is the short stuff. At last you will lose. Just play in securest online casinos and then roulette will be your moneymaking for long years.

Kevin Costner’s South Dakota Casino Shuts

A South Dakota casino owned by Hollywood notable Kevin Costner has shut its doors for good after 26 years of business.

On Tuesday, the Midnight Starcasino in Deadwood, SD announced it was riding off into the sunset, leaving around 40 staff members out of a job. The property opened in 1991, the same year the Costner-directed, South Dakota-located Dances With Wolves won multiple Academy Awards, including Best Director for Costner.

In an emailed statement to the Rapid City Journal, Costner said he had a “heavy heart” in announcing the casino’s closure, but said the property had a great run and he was “enormously proud of what the Midnight Star became.”

The property was an immediate hit following its opening, offering retail shopping, dining and drinking options in addition to gaming, along with plenty of Costner’s movie memorabilia. But the rapid expansion of casino operations across the US eventually took its toll, as newer and flashier options opened closer to home for many Midnight Star customers.

Costner said he opened the casino because of his “deep love for Deadwood and the Black Hills of South Dakota,” but Costner has been downsizing his presence in the state, including selling some of the 1k acres of land he owned near Deadwood.

The suddenness of the closure appears to have caught state regulators off guard, as South Dakota Commission on Gaming deputy executive secretary Craig Sparrow would only say he had “no comment about nothing” regarding the Midnight Star’s demise.

Costner’s future movie roles include Molly’s Game, the Aaron Sorkin-directed version of Molly Bloom’s book recalling her years playing host to exclusive high-stakes poker games involving film stars, athletes and Wall Street traders. The so-called ‘poker princess’ was sentenced to probation after pleading guilty in 2013 to operating an illegal gambling business. Costner will play Molly’s father in the film, which opens November 22.

Casino Thief in Macau

Chinese police have arrested a former Macau casino VIP room employee for the theft of nearly HKD 5.5m (US $705k) in cash and casino chips.

Way back in March 2016, Macau’s Judiciary Police (PJ) were alerted to the internal theft of HKD 5m in cash and a further HKD 430k in chips from an unidentified casino in Macau’s ZAPE district.

The theft was reportedly carried out by a casino employee who was given the key to the casino’s cage by another staffer, allegedly for safekeeping. Instead, the thief used the key to purloin the cash and chips, after which he fled to the Chinese mainland and apparently vanished without a trace.

However, this week the PJ announced that the Guangdong Public Security Department had identified and apprehended the alleged thief in Zhongshan City on October 2. On October 6, the man was transferred to the custody of the PJ, who are continuing their investigation into the theft and the ultimate whereabouts of the missing HKD 5.5m. The man is expected to be face the appropriately named charge of “abuse of trust (massive amount).”

The alleged embezzlement was but one of a string of internal theft incidents to rock Macau’s casino and junket operators in recent years, right at the time when the special administrative region’s finances were already reeling from the rapid downturn in business caused by Beijing’s crackdown on corruption.

ONLINE BETTING SCAM RUMBLED
In an unrelated incident, the PJ announced last week that it had uncovered an online scam in which individuals were contacted via social networking platforms and tempted into depositing money into Macau bank accounts for the purpose of online betting.

However, once the money was deposited, the scammers broke off all contact with their marks, withdrawing the money from the accounts via ATMs, leaving the would-be gamblers high and dry. All told, the PJ believe at least 18 individuals were scammed via this method, leaving them out a total of HKD 1.3m.

On October 5, the PJ arrested one of the scammers, who told police that he was an indebted gambler who’d been forced to participate in the scheme by a criminal syndicate. The PJ has charged the man with fraud and money laundering, while intensifying its hunt for the scam’s organizers.

Greel Cuts a Number of Slot Games

International casino investors could take another look at Greece’s gaming market if the government follows through with rumored plans to slash gaming taxes.

On Monday, Greek news agency Ekathimerini reported that sources in the country’s Economy Ministry say the government is preparing to table new gambling legislation in the next few weeks, which would include lower taxes on casino slot machines and gaming tables.

According to the report, consultations with gaming industry stakeholders have led the government to consider a mixed-rate system that would see overall taxes on gambling turnover reduced from the current range of 30-37% to 25% or even lower.

The government appears to have bought into arguments that, far from decreasing the government’s gambling tax take, the reduced rates will spur further international interest and investment in the gambling sector that will ultimately deliver higher governmental returns in the long run.

Last December, Greece approved a tender process for a new integrated resort casino on the site of the former Elliniko international airport outside Athens. The government simultaneously approved the relocation of the Regency Mont Parnes Casino from its current home at Parnitha to a more advantageous spot closer to Athens, although the venue must still remain outside city limits.

While the report referenced only casino taxes, it remains to be seen whether this tax reduction will apply to lottery and betting operator OPAP, which saw its gaming revenue tax increase from 30% to 35% last year. The increase was blamed for cutting OPAP’s 2016 profits by €57.5m.

This year saw OPAP begin its planned rollout of tens of thousands of new video lottery terminals, although the government announced in August that it intended to limit OPAP’s new VLT army to 25k units rather than the 35k called for in the original deal. While OPAP wrangled an extension on its betting license in exchange for the VLT reduction, it’s unclear whether the new slots tax reduction would also apply to VLT operations.

Macau presses cryptocurrencies

The Monetary Authority of Macau (AMCM) has issued guidance prohibiting financial institutions operating in the region from providing financial services to any businesses involved in virtual currency, citing concerns about money laundering and terrorist financing.

In a statement citing an earlier press release the AMCM said that: “Bitcoin is a type of virtual commodity which is neither a legal tender nor a financial instrument subject to supervision. Any trading of these commodities involves considerable risks, including but not limited to those relating to money laundering and terrorism financing, against which all participants should remain vigilant.”

The regulator underlined recent events in Mainland China, where authorities announced a sweeping ban on all initial coin offerings after deeming them an “illegal” method of fundraising earlier this month.

The AMCM added: “financial institutions and non-bank payment institutions are prohibited explicitly by Mainland authorities from providing services for these tokens and virtual currencies. At the same time, this Authority also issued a notice on 20 September 2017 to remind all the banking and payment institutions in Macao not to participate in or provide, directly or indirectly, any financial services for the related activities.”

Japanese have experienced gambling addiction

According to a government-commissioned report, around 3.2 million Japanese people have suffered from some form of gambling addiction at some point in their life.

The findings, which were published last Friday amid renewed concern about pathological gambling in the country since a law to legalise casinos took effect last year, showed that over of 3.6% of all interviewed people have responded that they have felt addicted to gambling at some point in their life. This figure, applied to Japan’s total population, suggests that 3.2 million people have experienced problem betting.

Additionally, the same study has found that 0.8% of Japan’s total population have been affected by problem gambling only in the last year.

The survey of 10,000 adults which received 4,685 valid responses has confirmed that Pachinko remains the most popular game, accounting for the most money spent on gambling. On average, players have been found to spent JPY58,000 ($515) per month.

Susumu Higuchi, Director of the National Hospital Organisation Kurihama Medical and Addiction Centeer- body that oversaw the survey- urged for aid “not only the government but medical practitioners need to work toward better treatment”.

He added that data for Japan could not be strictly compared with those from other countries due to differences in methodology; however, the report noted that the figures for suspected gambling addicts in 11 other countries and regions — including the United States, South Korea and Hong Kong — were lower, in the range of 0.2% to 2.4%.

Currently, gambling is legally restricted to pachinko and race betting (horse, powerboat, bicycle and motorcycle). Although last year the country passed a bill for the legalisation of integrated casinos resorts in the hope of boosting tourism and the local economy, however, there is still a long road ahead before the specifics of Japan’s casino regime are set in stone.

Las Vegas Tragedy

A horrific mass shooting on the Las Vegas strip has left many dead and hundreds wounded, as a result large parts of the Las Vegas Strip have been put into lockdown. The strip is currently sealed off to the public as emergency services continue to deal with the situation.

Reports are currently claiming that Stephen Paddock, 64, opened fire on festival goers from the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Casino and Resort.

Georgia & Online Gambling

The Republic of Georgia has announced its plans to ban online gambling as part of its new regulatory framework.

According to local news outlets, special commissions have been appointed to work on this issue at parliament. Moreover, the Ministry of Finance will shortly introduce new bills which would totally prohibit any form of online gaming.

However, these restrictive measures do not please every politician in the ruling party. Speaking to the local media, Deputy Finance Minister of Georgia Lasha Khutsishvili assured these ban wouldn’t be beneficial as international cases show that banning online modalities is not always effective.

“We analyse the world experience to understand how effective those are or other measures taken with respect to online gaming. The international practice shows that at present there are no effective mechanisms to actually prohibit online games. Millions are spent from the state budget on such measures, but in vain.

“The Finance Ministry is also considering this issue from the point of view of fiscal policy, full control over the Internet is associated with very high costs,” he concluded.

Australia Bans Online Poker

Online poker gaming is now illegal in Australia, following implementation of the Australian government's Interactive Gambling Amendment Bill on Wednesday. 

However, officials from the Australian government have confirmed that they are mulling over potentially decriminalising the online poker market and implementing a full licensing framework.

On Tuesday, Australia’s chief online poker advocate, Senator David Leyonhjelm announced that he “has received a letter from Communications Minister Mitch Fifield advising that he has instructed his Department to undertake some preliminary work examining the feasibility of Australian onshore providers obtaining licences to operate online poker.”

The primary aim of the Interactive Gambling Amendment act was to stop unlicensed sports betting operators from targeting Australian customers, while instituting the requirement that any company taking Australian bets had to have an Australian licence.

This had the unfortunate consequence of effectively banning online poker, and despite the best efforts of Leyonhjelm and the Australian Online Poker Association efforts to exclude online poker from the forthcoming legislation fell on deaf ears.

Many online poker operators, such as PokerStars and 888 were forced to withdraw their services from Australian players as a result.

Despite this week’s setback, Senator Leyonhjelm remains committed to the establishment of a new Australian regulatory body, similar in its make up to the UK’s Gambling Commission, saying: “Australian online poker players deserve to have a safe, regulated environment in which to enjoy their pastime and not be forced into using offshore sites, I will make sure this matter maintains momentum.”

German Online Gambling Needs Special Attention

Efforts to legalise online gambling in Germany could fail if its 16 individual states do not implement the proposed Interstate Treaty on gambling soon, Saxony-Anhalt Finance Minister André Schröder has warned.

German legislators first introduced the treaty in 2012, in order to create a safe gambling environment for the country's gamblers. The treaty allows licensed online sports betting services, capping the potential number of available licences at 20. This provision was later contested by the European Union’s Court of Justice on the grounds that the cap on licences prevented the free movement of services between EU member states.

The first licences were issued to operators in 2014, however a number of applicants including big-name operators such as bet365, Betclic Everest and Tipico were unsuccessful in their applications, prompting the launch of a legal challenge against the new legislation. This challenge was upheld by the courts, plunging operators and the German states into limbo once more.

A subsequent regulatory amendment in March 2017 increased this licence cap to 40, with 35 international betting operators expressing an interest in entering the German market.

In an interview with the Presseportal website, Schröder said: "The Prime Ministers of all the federal states have agreed on changes to the gaming contract, which was a month-long struggle and a process of weighing up the debts, mainly to address the problems of enforcement that we have with the current regulations - online casinos and sports betting - and to ensure consumer protection.

“Saxony-Anhalt is in favour of this gaming agreement with its amendments. It is now important to ensure ratification.”

In order for the Interstate Treaty to be passed, all 16 individual states must approve and adopt the legislation by January 1st 2018, but Schröder is now calling on other states to move quickly and ratify the legislation to avoid the treaty becoming defunct.

Schröder added: “If the ratification fails in individual countries, then these regulations cannot be applied nationwide as of January 1, 2018. This is unfortunate, because then the current regulations simply would continue.

“Then the execution problems would continue. That is why we are very much campaigning for the counties to ratify. If this is not the case, we need to consider how we can deal with the continuity of current regulations and what we can do to protect consumers."

Torsten Meinberg, leader of the German Lotto and Totoblock (DLTB) echoed Minister Schröder’s comments saying: "If the treaty is not ratified, sports betting will remain gray and illegal gambling cannot be effectively controlled. Foreign gambling providers without a German licence are massively attacking the public-oriented gambling game and ignoring consumer protection. Speedy action is required."

Meet Alex: computer hacker who has decrypted the algorithm of the slot machines

Russian mathematic, programmer and the graduate of Academy of the Federal Security Service has decrypted the algorithm according to which all slot games work.

In the interview for the American Wired hacker under a pseudonym “Alex” has told that after slot machines decryption he earns about $250 000 per week. He could understand the principles, known as random number source or PRNG (Pseudorandom number generator) that determine the model of the game’s playback at slot games.

His three agents travel around the world, visiting casinos: from the Poland to Macau, then to Peru, looking for the slot machines. So called employees write down the work of the slots and send the videos to their master in order to determine the winning chances. Interestingly, that these agents do not possess special skills. Moreover, they were not informed about the work of the mechanism. The hero himself noticed that he values the carefulness at his employees.

Alex is looking for the people who understand the importance of the secrecy in the actions and behavior. In the case of the arrest, organization guarantees legal assistance.

Russian guy claimed eight-figured sum of the fee from the Aristocrat casino software provider for the PRNG hacking. Also he said that in the case of the refusal he will place the company’s algorithms over the Internet. Of course, company claimed that the system of PRNG for best Aristocrat slot games is safe and fair and refused to deal with Alex. The hacker said that sometimes he dreams to place the algorithm but after the outgoing from the most profitable business. Also he thinks that such actions will lead to zombie apocalypse and the extinction of the slot machines in casinos.

Pragmatic Games for Spain & Portugal

After recently being awarded a licence to operate in the UK last April, Pragmatic Play has now secured a licence to distribute its slots games in the Spanish and Portuguese market. 

The news comes after both the Spanish Directorate General for the Regulation of Gambling (DGOJ) and the Portuguese Gambling Inspection and Regulation Service (SRIJ) have approved the company’s online games for distribution.

The certification is an expansion of Pragmatic Play’s continued plans for international growth, having gone live in Denmark back in August.

Yossi Barzely, Head of Business Development at Pragmatic Play, commented: “We’re very proud to have been given the green light in Spain and Portugal as we look to expand worldwide.

“It represents another breakthrough for Pragmatic play and highlights our commitment to our European expansion in regulated markets.

“We’re certain that our existing suite of games and forthcoming titles will prove to be just as popular with players in both countries as they have been elsewhere.”

The Receipt of Lottery from Czech Republic

Czech Republic is set to release a new receipt lottery by October as part of the electronic cash register system launched in 2016 to help fight tax evasion.

According to the local daily Hospodářské noviny, under this new scheme receipts will act as lottery tickets in a draw. Players will be able to register free of charge through a mobile app or website; however, they will only be able to buy one receipt per day in order to prevent illicit transactions.

The Ministry of Finance will be in charge of controlling the lottery results and will present a report in a year to evaluate its efficiency. The aim of the receipt lottery is to motivate people to insist on getting receipts for their purchases. 

According to the Ministry of Finance, Ivan Pilný, the benefits of the scheme should exceed the operational expenses: distributing over 65m crowns a year in winnings, whilst tackling tax evasion. 

It is expected that each month the state will give away over 20,000 prizes. The winner will receive a cheque for one million crowns, and the second prize will be a car worth 400,000 crowns. Other winners will receive prize money ranging between 300,000 and 20,000 crowns. 

Similar lotteries have already been launched in several countries across Europe, including Croatia, Slovakia or Slovenia. As in Czech Republic, the main reason was to motivate customers to demand receipts for their purchases. For instance, Slovakia rolled out receipt lottery in 2013; and in two years they were able to reduce transactions carried out without receipt by 50%.

The Electronic Cash register, designed to provide the state with immediate information about cash transactions at venues, was launched in December. Pubs, restaurants and accommodation providers were the first to start using the system, followed by retailers in March of this year. Other business, including lawyers, doctors or accountants, will need to register in the system in 2018.

Colombia Gaming License

Colombia has granted this week its second online gambling licence to lottery and chance games operator Corredor Empresarial S.A. The country’s regulatory body Coljuegos announced on Monday it has issued Colombia’s second official licence to the local firm, which will operate sports betting, slot machines, roulette and other games of chance under the Betplay.com.co domain. 

The licence, which is set to last five years, was worth over $1m to Colombia’s watchdog. Coljuegos President, Juan B. Pérez Hidalgo, said that this move will contribute to the nation's health care funding. Additionally, the government hopes to raise COP 8b ($2.6m) in the first year following its online market regulation.

This news comes after Corredor Empresarial signed a series of gambling technology agreements with European providers Kambi Sports Solutions and R Franco Digital last June. The now-online gaming operator already manages over 25,000 retail points of sale across the country.

Colombia has become a promising ground for gaming operators after being the first Latin American jurisdiction to formally approve online gambling last October. Earlier this summer, back in June, Medellin-based electronic gaming machine operator Aquila Global Group obtained the first-ever licence to operate online in Colombia using the Wplay.co brand.

However, the South American nation has blacklisted over 300 foreign operators to ensure that locally-licensed operators generate sufficient revenues. Coljuegos has began blocking international domains in July.

Casino Development of California State

Officials from the California state assembly have ratified a tribal gaming compact for the Wilton Rancheria tribe, paving the way for the tribe to develop a $500m casino in Elk Grove.

Elk Grove Assemblyman Jim Cooper introduced bill AB1606, which was approved by a unanimous 68-0 vote late on Thursday. The compact will now be passed to California State Governor Jerry Brown for final sign off before being vetted by the federal Bureau of Indian Affairs.

Speaking after the vote, Cooper said: “This is an important milestone for Wilton Rancheria, the people of Elk Grove and the Sacramento Region.

“I was proud to author this legislation and I am proud of my colleagues in the Legislature for giving it their overwhelming support.”

Wilton Rancheria’s tribal status was terminated in 1958, and the Tribe was finally restored, without land, in 2009, after a long-fought campaign by tribal elders.

The Wilton tribe is planning to build a casino on 36 acres on the site of a defunct mall on the south side of Elk Grove, having purchased the land from The Howard Hughes Corporation earlier this year. This land was then placed into trust by the US Federal Government, as required by the Indian Gaming Regulatory Act (1988).

Its proposed Elk Grove casino would include 110,000 square feet of gaming floor, multiple restaurants, a spa, a 302-room hotel tower and a convention centre. The newly approved state compact allows the tribe to operate up to 2,500 gaming devices.

In a statement, Wilton Rancheria Chairman Raymond C. Hitchcock said: “We are extremely pleased and humbled by the strong support the Tribe has received from the community, the Legislature and the Governor,”

“It’s a very good day for the 750 members of Wilton Rancheria, the community of Elk Grove and the greater Sacramento region. Now it’s time to get on with building this project, which will create thousands of jobs and invest of hundreds of millions of dollars to improve city and country services.

“The vote represents a huge step forward in our long journey to have land, a home and a place where we can pursue our economic development goals.”

The growth of Macau Gaming

According to data released by Macau Gaming Inspection and Coordination Bureau, Macau’s casino gross gaming revenue (GGR) increased in August 20.4% year-on-year basis.

The regulatory body has announced on Friday that casinos generated nearly MOP22.68bn (US$2.81bn) over the last month. With these figures, the Cotai District continues its 13-month streak of revenue increases.

Overall, Macau’s total GGR for the first eight months of 2017 reached MOP172.02bn, rising 19% from the same period last year.

However, Typhoon Hato on 23 August caused extensive damage and forced some hotels and casino resorts to temporarily suspend their operations, so it is not a direct comparison. Grant

Govertsen of brokerage Union Gaming Securities Asia Ltd said: “As we noted last week in our series of on-the-ground notes post-typhoon, we believed that trends were returning to normal quite quickly and still expected a growth rate of over 20% for the month,”

"We further expect September to be in the high teens. All-in, the third quarter 2017 the growth rate could shake out to be broadly in-line with the second quarter growth rate in the low 20% range.”

Gambling Act of Czech Republic

The government of Czech Republic has announced its plans to restrict online bonuses and free bets, citing concerns over alleged links between these promotions and problematic gambling.

Last week, the Czech Ministry of Finance issued a document detailing its fears over operators’ bonuses, which it says induces customers to new gambling problems, and thus should be strictly controlled. 

“The casinos, appealing to instant and seemingly easy winnings, have become typical not only of the suburbs of the Czech cities, but also of the centres of smaller municipalities, and all of the related socially harmful activities pose a threat to public order and peaceful coexistence,” read the government report.

The report published late August states that the application of the law will be within the jurisdiction of the authority responsible for issuing and implementing permits. It also claims that “given the fact that gambling is an area of business that carries a negative social cost, as it causes pathological gambling and associated undesirable manifestations in a particular part of the population, a new legal framework has been put in place to improve consumer protection, the conditions under which gambling can be run, and not only the conditions relating to the direct provision of gambling, but also related activities such as advertising and others.”

This new legislation fits into the Czech Republic’s overall strict Gaming Act. Earlier this summer, legislators passed this policy which aimed to defend consumers’ rights and protection by controlling players’ spending.
