NEW ONLINE GAMBLING SITES
One for everyone
Royal Wagers seems to have something for everyone with a sportsbook, 30 game online casino and poker room all on offer, powered by no-download software from Futurebet. That provider did not enjoy the best of reputations in the past (remember the Indio Casino mess for one?) but they appear to have escaped the bad news spotlight in more recent times. The poker room is using Ongame software and is part of the PokerNetwork. The new site has a clean and businesslike design that is easy to use and comes in English, Turkish, Japanese and German language versions. Deposits can be made through Neteller Instacash, 900Pay and eWallet Express via iDollar in the UK. Email and livechat Support is through playersupport.com and there is a poker school for newbies onsite. 20 percent signup and 10 percent re-up bonuses are offered. When we checked in at the poker room on a midweek night there were 6867 players active on the network, which belongs to PokerNetwork.
Ambitious but unlikely with this franchise
One of the most extraordinarily long-winded and largely irrelevant press releases we have seen for some time heralded the arrival of Get Rich Quick Casino.net from the readymadecasinos supplier. The site is not easy on the eye and appears to be using one of the Windows Casino sub-licenses on RTG software.
A little French
Casino France Net.com appears to be a French sister for Miami Paradise.com, a Microgaming powered casino in the Golden Star group.
Online poker status quo
Respected online poker information site Poker Pulse is always worth a visit to check on the progress of this booming sector, and this week noted that there were 303 poker rooms out there on some 56 different networks. Party Poker remains the site to beat as the biggest online. Online poker has not been the El Dorado that some thought it may be it appears - Poker Pulse lists over fifty failed or withdrawn sites.
Networks to note include Action (24 members) Cryptologic (10) Boss Media's International Poker Network (36) PokerNetwork (44) Prima Poker (35) and Tribeca (formerly Apex) with 49.
iNetBet going mobile soon
It's been awhile since Real Time Gaming signed up with mobile gambling technology provider Phantom Fiber, and this week saw the first indications that this is producing results. Emily Hanson at RTG-powered iNetBet online casino has posted that they expect to be operational with a mobile gaming facility using Phantom technology in the near future.
