Betfair in trouble over inducements in Australia

An outsider trying to understand: Australia’s online gambling regulations; and the manner in which regulators choose to enforce those regulations, would be forgiven for being extremely confused.

A little good will goes a long way

When it comes to bonus offers from online casinos you don’t expect them to over deliver. Quite the opposite. It’s usually a case of over promising with under delivering.

Fancy an iPad? William Hill are giving 1 away every day

I suspect this promo has something to do with the fact that William Hill now have the full compliment of live games (roulette, blackjack and baccarat) available for iPad play. But who really cares about their reasoning? The bottom line is that for the next couple of months (ends 23 July, 2013) they will...

2 live casino races worth considering

Here are a couple of live casino races presently underway that are really worth considering. What’s a live casino race? Simple.
