On July 1, new Florida laws allowed dog tracks to increase the limits on gambling in their poker rooms, which brought in bigger crowds more focused on cards rather than dogs and raised more revenue. Of the 16 dog ...

New law allows gambling TV adverts

That’s why 1 September is so important

Gamblingwebsites will be able to advertise their services on TV and radio in the UK for the first time from this weekend. The new laws will allow the creation of more regional casinos, bigger slot machine payouts and a new gambling watchdog.

All gaming operators based in Britain will be required to show they can meet strict conditions to win a license from the new regulator - the Gambling Commission - to trade. Failure to uphold the Commission’s licensing conditions, which includes the prominent display of information about responsible gambling and anti-money laundering procedures, will result in steep fines and even prosecution.

(Betting shops will be able to open from 0700 to 2200 all year round).

Mel Molnick will face an uphill battle

Mel Molnick 63-year-old is the person behind Bodog.com’s sudden closure. Molnick - notorious for past disputes with Ladbrokes.com, Betsson.com, Betinternet.com and CasinoWebcam.com, claims to have a patent on the method which online casinos use to run their businesses.

The future may not look so bleak for Bodog despite recent events regarding their domain name. A court ruling forced the successful internet gaming company to hand over their bodog.com domain name to 1st Technology LLC over to patenting infringement claims.

Founder and CEO Calvin Ayre has stated that he will fight the case. The domain was surrendered but in a cleverly conducted counter strike he managed to make sure all provision was migrated to the new domain Newbodog within 12 hours of the surrender. Bodog name is trademarked to the company, 1st Technology will not be able to sell the name to another party for use. Therefore, even though bodog have had to migrate their site, their branding only holds any value for Ayre (This means that bodog have both time and the branding on their side).

Molnick will face an uphill battle because most online gambling Web sites are located offshore and would likely try to get around U.S. law.

Absolute Poker makes online poker history

History was made when an online poker player from Australia lost a Texas Hold’em hand and set off Absolute Poker’s Bad Beat Jackpot bells to the tune of $821,670.69. The $821,670.69 jackpot shatters all industry records, including the largest Bad Beat Jackpot record of $739,621 held by Party Poker.

In poker, the term ‘bad beat’ refers to losing a hand that is clearly favored to win. Normally, such a loss can leave even the most hardened poker player feeling devastated. But at Absolute Poker’s Bad Beat Jackpot tables, losing a seemingly unbeatable hand has become extremely lucrative. Now, when seated at a Bad Beat Jackpot table, if a player loses a Texas Hold’em hand holding four 8s or anything better, they’ll win a large piece of the Bad Beat Jackpot.

To help the jackpot build, $0.50 is collected from qualifying hands at Bad Beat Jackpot tables. The jackpot keeps growing until someone hits a qualifying bad beat, at which time a large percentage of it is distributed amongst the bad beat victim and the participants in the hand. The latest bad beat happened on August 29th at 08:43 ET when KADI, an online poker player from Australia, lost a 10-high Straight Flush to a King-high Straight Flush. Seated at one of Absolute Poker’s Bad Beat Jackpot tables, KADI’s losing hand netted her $267,042.97 in cash. The pot winner walked away with $133,521.48 and the participants in the hand each earned $33,380.37.

This isn’t the first time Australians have witnessed an astonishing win at the poker tables. In 2005, Joe Hachem - a native of Melbourne - won the 2005 World Series of Poker Main Event, securing a first place prize of $7.5 million.

While this colossal win is indisputably impressive, the next record breaker could be right around the corner. The jackpot has been reset and currently sits at $215,000. With $0.50 collected from each qualifying hand at designated Bad Beat Jackpot tables, that number is growing by an average of $2,000 per hour.

The next player to lose a hand holding four 8s or anything better will win a large piece of the new jackpot. The participants in the bad beat hand will also share in the winnings.

New Bodog with record gambling traffic

The sun always shines on Bodog Hmmm I mean …New Bodog !! The Bodog Sportsbook reports record traffic on Gameday. Calvin Ayre is definitely a blessed man; the founder of the Bodog empire probably feared a loss of traffic due to the recent legal dispute with 1st Technology and the temporary shut down of the domain name bodog.

Team Bodog didn’t lose time and in less than 24 hours New Bodog was up and running to ensure that existing and new customers of the online digital entertainment company could continue to enjoy online wagering and online poker. Today New Bodog report’s record traffic on GameDay, the official opening of the NCAA Football season. Reports are confirmed by independent sources according to which newbodog is enjoying an unexpected spike in traffic on the first busy weekend of this wagering season.

Calvin Ayre did it again then. The brilliant marketer and founder of the online gambling empire didn’t miss a beat despite the less than positive odds following the first outcome of the legal dispute with 1st Technology (Mel Molnick).

Ixgames will continue to provide updates about the situation as information becomes available.

Cheers and happy online gambling!
