However, this is not the only study that confirms correlation between online gambling and stress; there have been numerous other studies to prove the same thing as well. For example a study completed at Eastern Carolina University that continued for six month and had 134 subjects found that online gambling can actually reduce stress and raise one’s mood. Furthermore, Oxford University also confirms that online gambling is beneficial for those suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome (PTSD).

On the other hand an online casino has also conducted their own research recently, involving Blackjack players. This informal survey noted that 74 percent of all the gamblers involved in the study confirmed that online casino games are a worthy way to have a good time and entertain, while it also serves as a stress remedy. Those Blackjack players also confirmed that online casino games do not help reduce stress levels when it comes to the games with much higher stakes involved. However another similar survey, involving Roulette players this time, demonstrated the same – about 77% of the total gamblers involved said that online casino games are a great way to reduce stress and tension.

So this does mean that online casino games serve as anti-depressants if one knows to gamble only what they afford to lose. Have you ever had the same feelings after gambling? Do not hesitate to have your say below in the comments.

Irish-based online gambling operator Paddy Power announced on Monday that it will enlarge its Italy operations so as to continue from the realization of last year’s commercial success. Paddy Power’s proceeds increased at 17% to almost half-a-billion euros last year, mostly as a result of a stand-out year in its UK and Irish online industry.

On the other hand Prima Networks settled a deal this week with Tarricone Holding Group to source a new Italian online casino under the new domain name Betflag.it. Tarricone is previously recognized for being behind prominent Italian gaming brand Totosi, which was ultimately acquired by Lottomatica in 2008.

Betflag will offer a sportsbook and online casino, making the most of Prima’s QuickFire software. The new casino is licensed by Italian gaming regulation authority AAMS, while its general domain name Betflag.com is functioning under a Maltese license. Majority of the immense brands in online betting have either contracted deals to enter the Italian gambling market, or are in the progression of discussing them, offering Italian players more augmented products they’ll end up receiving.

Customer groups are expecting Italy to speedily reform the outstanding glitches with its gaming regulation. The European Court of Justice quizzed whether the country was limiting distant operators from gaining licenses. The news of Paddy Power and Prima Networks shows some actual improvements has already been made.

The fresh Swedish JackpotJoy.se site will be organized similarly to the initial as it does not add up to modify the already established winning combinations. Every most anticipated and yet the most popular games of JackpotJoy include Money Drop, Deal or No Deal and X-Factor online slots that are based on popular TV shows, will be included on the Swedish division of the gambling operator.

As for Swedish bingo enthusiasts, they will be able to get tones of the substantial promos and the exciting chat rooms, playing a critical role in structuring the JackpotJoy brand. Each and every query by players will be clarified completely in their native language, this time- Swedish.

Safe financial communications are vital to online gambling operations and Jackpotjoy.se has tied up with four main Swedish banks to guarantee players can make credits and removals safely and steadily.

JackpotJoy is the leading product of the Gamesys Group, founded in April 2001. The online gaming site is qualified by the Government of Gibraltar and controlled by the Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner. The average anticipated winnings JackpotJoy is said to pay out sum up to over £150 million every month in winnings and yields 10 winners every second.

According to the US attorney Bodog conducted a $42 million advertising campaign between 2005 and 2008 to attract gamblers to the website and moreover, the gamblers in Maryland and elsewhere were sent at least $100 million by wire and check from 2005 till now.
But what Calvin Ayre posted on this website differs from US attorney opinion completely:

“Bodog UK, Bodog Europe and Bodog Asia have never taken bets from the US,” the statement said. “The Bodog Brand is currently consulting with its legal advisers with a view to having the domain returned I see this as abuse of the US criminal justice system for the commercial gains of large US corporations. It is clear that the online gaming industry is legal under international law and in the case of these documents is it also clear that the rule of law was not allowed to slow down a rush to try to win the war of public opinion.”

However, all the Bodog funds were allegedly moved from operator’s accounts located in Malta, Switzerland, England, Canada and elsewhere to pay players’ winnings. The consequences of the seizure is most likely to be up to 5 years in prison for conducting illegal gambling business, + 20 years for money laundering for each of the accused, and the company faces a fine of to $500,000 for the same crime.

U.S. Attorney Rod J. Rosenstein commented: “Sports betting is illegal in Maryland, and federal law prohibits bookmakers from flouting that law simply because they are located outside the country. Many of the harms that underlie gambling prohibitions are exacerbated when the enterprises operate over the internet without regulation.”

The prosecutions follow federal actions last year against three of the major websites tangled in online poker. More than 75 business financial accounts in 14 countries have been detained, and the authorities are still pursuing $3 billion in fines and compensation, in the case investigation.

The American Roulette playing process is pretty much similar with the European Roulette. Inside and outside bets are present here as well. Inside bets are precise to every respective number on the wheel or the array of thirds that the ball will fall into. The array is divided into three parts of 12 numbers (35 in total); the 1st set of 12 up to the 3rd set of 12. While the outside bets comprise whether the ball will fall on odd or even numbers, or whether the outcome will be black or red.

The roulette table has a noticeable chart where players can place their bets on; divided into areas to identify which are the inside bets and which are the outside ones. The other bets are the same as well, to help you recall, re-read our European Roulette Guide.

The major difference, as mentioned above is the additional 00, which decreases the odds of players significantly, reducing the chances of winning. So if it is possible to choose between the European and the American roulette, we strongly recommend choosing the first one. Here is a bit complicated calculation for you to highlight the difference of the house edge of these two games: in an American game there is a probability of 1/38 that the player wins 35 times the bet, and a 37/38 chance that the player loses their bet. The expected value is:

−1×37⁄38 + 35×1⁄38 = −0.0526 (5.26% house edge)

For European roulette, a single number wins 1⁄37 and loses 36⁄37:

−1×36⁄37 + 35×1/37 = −0.0270 (2.70% house edge)

So the less the house edge is, the more the players get. With the difference of 2.56% (the additional 00 creates) it is always preferable to choose European Roulette for betting to save your funds.

The company announced that its strong-performing joint venture with Playtech, which now generates almost 40% of the operating profits, must change, as the Israeli gaming software specialist holding a 29% share makes group’s performance progressively dependent.

William Hill has reported a 6% increase last year and net operating earnings of £276m, that is quite optimistic. But the relationships between William Hill and Playtech reached such a low in Israel that scores of staff even walked out. One more dispute was caused due to Playtech selling services to other online casinos as well, that are direct competitors of William Hill.

To change the current situation William Hill has either to acquire the 29% stake that it does not own and take full control of the company. WHO operating incomes raised by 17% to £107m while earnings from William Hill’s traditional betting shops fell 4% to £197m.

The group is Britain’s major bookie, with practically 2,400 shops. There is no information about what Playtech officially thinks, but this news is quite negative for both companies: for WHO because players won’t be any more able to play quality games developed by Playtech and on the other side, for Playtech because it’s reputation as an unethical (for selling to competitors) operator will be spread over.
