Online Casinos Feeling the Credit Crunch

Every business feels the current credit crunch. Even the online casino business. One of the many online casino sites out there, La Isla Casino (http://www.laislacasino.com/ ), have taken this into consideration and made some changes to their operation and casino bonus structure.

“We see that the number of sign ups and deposits are more or less the same but the average deposit amount has dropped by 30%” says casino manager Afshin Ertanin. “As a result of that we have to cater to a market based on smaller deposits.”

“We are now offering our clients an opportunity to get a bonus on every deposit they make, starting from as low as 21 pounds. Our welcome bonus will give players 100% matching bonus on their first deposit and 150% matching bonus on their second deposit, when depositing as little as 20 pounds. We feel that too many casinos’ today spend a lot of energy towards the high roller. The average player who likes to make a wager now and then seems to be forgotten.

With the fully automated bonus structure La Isla Casino allows the players the full freedom to choose if they want a bonus on every deposit or not. And since it is fully automated bonuses are in their accounts the second they make a deposit.

“The online casino industry will have to rethink their strategies in the coming years as more and more people are losing their credit cards. Plus the fact that many banks have blocked their customers from making deposits with their credit cards to a licensed casino we are focusing on alternative and safe ways of depositing and making withdrawals”.

Offering special bonuses when players use payment methods such as U-Kash, ClickandBuy and Click2Pay does make it easier for the player and the casino, and is something that we are utilising to full effect.

“The fully automated casino bonus is very simple, we have set up specific amounts for the player to deposit that will automatically trigger a bonus. Every time a player makes deposits of sums such as 21, 31, 41, 51, 61 and so on they will automatically get a bonus. To see the full list, go to http://www.laislacasino.com/casino-promotions.php

“Yes, we are mainly an online slots casino and our automatic bonuses are for online slots games. But we do offer a special table games bonus for Black Jack, Poker, Roulette and Video Pokers to regular players. And the weekly free bonus we issue every Wednesday to our regular players can be used on any game – except progressive games.

“Of course the credit crunch will affect us as well as the other brands out there, but I think we are well prepared for it and are not that worried. We started changing our marketing strategy in early 2008 preparing for this so I am confident that la Isla Casino can ride through the coming months or years of market downturn.”

The UK Bingo Industry: Where is it Heading?

The UK Bingo Industry is growing and growing fast. According to Google Search results report, in the last six months online bingo has become as popular as online poker. Could this be right?

Two factors have helped bingo reach the interest level as Poker. First, there are more adverts on the television for bingo than poker today. Second, because of the increase in bingo adverts, affiliate marketers are jumping on board and popping up affiliate run comparison sites which all in all, increased the noise around bingo.

So where is the UK Bingo industry heading today? Downhill if things don’t change. This is a little wake up for the UK Bingo industry … perhaps a friendly warning. It’s not light. It’s not nice. But it is honest and we think someone needs to highlight these points.

Where to begin? Ah yes, the explosion of online bingo in the UK and the lack of creativity and innovation from online bingo operators.

With tons of bingo co uk sites competing for your attention today, you’d think, as a bingo player, choosing a bingo community would be easier then simply comparing the free bingo bonuses or the confusing withdrawal rules?

If the goal of online bingo operators is to encourage more people to try online bingo, maybe they should be more sensitive to the fact that bingo players:

a) Are human | b) Don’t like confusion? | c) And want to feel appreciated

These points are not necessary meant to single out any bingo operator, but they’re a general theme that haunts most of the bingo co UK websites today:

Loose all the flashy, moving objects. They’re distracting. Would you respond to all that noise? NO! Show a little tutorial on how to play bingo as a first time online player. You might think it’s easy, because it’s your community, but I’m new to your online community and a friendly how-to map would show me that you care. Don’t just give me bullet points why I should choose you, show me real proof. What’s better than actually seeing in real time what’s happening on the community with latest winners, upcoming games, etc. Please, one clear join now button is enough. Don’t insult me with 5 different flashy join now buttons. I don’t like being yelled at. Do you? If you offer free bingo or a free trial, don’t hide the small print and expect me to go look for it. If you have a small print then you’re out to cheat me. Be upfront and save me the hassle.

How about the promos?

It seems the bulk of online bingo communities offer more of the same: deposit £10 and get £10 pounds free. Same games: 90 ball bingo with similar prizes per game and odds. Same chat games and the same quirky TV Bingo adverts.

If I’m a regular online bingo player and in search for a great online bingo site, what do the same offers as the other bingo community that I just visited tell me? Maybe the site is much like the other bingo community I played at? What’s different here?

It seems, big gambling companies have simply entered the bingo market not because they can truly offer something different, but rather they’ve found a new channel to expand their bottom line. And with this saturation, more bingo sites are popping up simply to offer more of the same bonuses, compete against miniscule offers, all in all to make their shareholders happy.

But what about the bingo players?

Have operators forgotten to create an entertainment experience that will delight players? Engage? Entice players to choose their online bingo site over their competitors? Will there ever be a Apple or Google of online bingo? A bingo community that puts customer experience above all?

It’s disappointing that there are far few bingo operators today that have made the player experience a priority. This is evident from the poor site structure, website accessibility and site usability. Perhaps the obvious was forgotten: that real people would end up playing games online.

How to Improve?

Okay, best to stop pondering on the negative. Instead, let’s look at areas where the operators can improve in order to help the UK bingo industry flourish and to successfully bring on more people to enjoy bingo online:

Bring new excitement to online bingo by tapping into creative promotions that actually get players engaged. Each bingo community should have their unique differentiation point that helps their community stand out from the rest. This means, tap into creativity and actually offer new ways to engage players to try bingo online instead of the misleading free bonuses that can’t t be withdrawn.

It’s clear, every new industry goes through a maturation cycle and I’m optimist that UK online bingo will eventually reach there’s soon. But for that to happen, everyone invested in the industry needs to their part that includes operators to players to the independent review sites like us at Bingo HQ.

History of Texas Hold ‘em



The popularity of Texas Hold em poker has grown exponentially in recent years. But where did Texas Hold em come from? Poker itself is derived from a French bluffing game called Poque. The French brought the game to New Orleans, where it became popular and evolved into the game we now call poker. Although there is no clear verification of this, it is said that the Texas Hold em version of poker was first played in the early 1900s in the town of Robstown, Texas.

In 1958, Texas gambler Doyle Brunson joined with two other legends to be, “Sailor” Roberts and “Amarillo Slim,” to become a fearsome poker team. This trio traveled around Texas and the Southwest, finding and crushing poker games wherever they could, often utilizing their skills at No Limit Hold em. During this time, the men, especially Brunson, dealt out thousands of Hold em hands manually, just to determine the frequency of certain holdings winning out over certain others. These data proved invaluable in live games.

In 1971, the first official World Series of Poker Main Event was played. The game was No Limit Hold em, cementing its place as one of the most skillful types of poker. In 1973, Doyle Brunson took his family and moved to Las Vegas, the Mecca of card playing. As Brunson is widely considered to be the greatest ambassador of the game of poker, this was a key event in Hold em poker history. Four years later, Brunson introduced a book on poker “How I made $1,000,000 Playing Poker,” which was later renamed “Super/System, A Course on Power Poker.” The book, which gathered the best poker players in the world to each write a section on the game of their specialty, changed the way people think about and play poker. Doyle authored the section on No Limit Hold em and in it made the case for why Hold em is the “Cadillac” of poker games.

In 1999, a British television program called “Late Night Poker” began using new technology to televise poker, in which viewers could see the hole cards of the players as the hand progressed. This concept revolutionized poker and led to an explosion of both televised poker and poker in general. Shortly thereafter, The World Poker Tour and the Travel Channel used updated technology to bring televised poker to living rooms throughout the United States. The game used to showcase all of this technology? Texas Hold em, of course.

In 2003, an accountant from Tennessee named Chris Moneymaker came from out of nowhere to win the Main Event of the World Series of Poker. He got there for only $40, taking advantage of “satellite” tournaments which award seats to bigger tournaments as their prize. Chris won his seat and the championship, at No Limit Texas Hold em.

Today Texas Hold em is by far the most popular poker game in the United States, if not the world. Thousands of people play in the World Series of Poker’s No Limit Hold em event and millions more play online or watch it on T.V. Doyle Brunson’s prediction has been borne out. Texas Hold em truly is the Cadillac of poker games and everyone wants to get behind the w
