1st US Online Casino

Oh how Jenny Woo and the gang are going to regret missing Doyle Brunson’s big bash.  We were invited, but none of us are currently in Las Vegas as the 2009 World Series of Poker parties are about to get underway.  Gambling911.com looks forward to the photos from this event, which should be released shortly…once they all recover from their respective hangovers. 

The closest we can get is via our beloved Rebecca Liggero of CasinoCity.com who is there along with the rest of the gang from that fine website.

Following the recent backdown over the presidential veto by President Viktor Kuschenko of the Ukraine, the gambling ban has been imposed with immediate effect in the Ukraine, reports Ukra News. And the ban includes online gambling.

The text of the law was published in the Holos Ukrainy (Voice of Ukraine) newspaper, on June 25, enforcing the vote of the Verkhovna Rada despite President Kuschenko’s appeals for a more considered approach, and his unsuccessful attempt to exercise his veto to effect this.

The law defines gambling as the activity or organisation of gambling games for profit in terrestrial casinos, via slot machines, at bookmaker’s offices, and in virtual casinos. It also covers any game requiring betting, allowing rewards for wins, and which fully or partially depends on the element of chance.

The economic crisis throughout the world and in the United States in particular has created a heavy workload for Congressman Barney Frank’s House Financial Services Committee, and that unfortunately means that his latest attempt to regulate and licence online gambling in the United States will have to be put on hold until September, the politician’s staff advised this week.

The industry has high hopes for HR2267, the Internet Gambling Regulation Consumer Protection & Enforcement Act, which was launched last (May) month and has already attracted political support.

However, it now appears unlikely that the bill will be voted on before the next session of Congress following a decision to delay hearings in the Committee until September 2009.

Confirming the re-scheduling, a spokesman in Congressman Frank’s office said that the hearing for the proposal had been postponed until the autumn due to an excessive workload on legislation urgently needed to address the economic crisis and the administration’s measures to correct it.

The so-called "Craigslist Killer", 23-year-old upstate New York native, Philip Markoff, was arraigned in a Suffolk County Court on Monday where he plead not guilty to first-degree murder of a masseuse he met on the online classifieds website. 

Prosecutors say Markoff lured Julissa Brisman of New York City to a Boston hotel in April after she advertised in the "exotic services" section on Craigslist.  Markoff is accused of binding Brisman during a violent struggle then shooting her in the chest.

In addition, Markoff plead not guilty to the armed robbery of a Las Vegas woman at another Boston hotel. H

Following a joint partnership deal with online casino giant, Playtech, late last year, it turned out that Great Britain’s second largest bookmaker may have inherited a few "rogue" online casino properties.

It all started with one of the cautionary warnings that Casinomeister sounds when casino conduct prejudicial to player welfare has been detected and insufficient response is received from the operation in question.

A "Rogue": an unprincipled person, a scoundrel, a rascal, an undesirable deviation from a standard, the CasinoMeister website points out.
