Absolute Casino — Social Media and Gaming

October 23, 2009

I’ve been in the eGam­ing indus­try on a num­ber of lev­els and in a num­ber of capac­i­ties for 7.5 years now, a life­time in that sec­tor. Over the past cou­ple of years specif­i­cally it has become increas­ingly clear that the indus­try is com­pletely stag­nant from a prod­uct per­spec­tive. I were to specif­i­cally look at the fol­low­ing major chan­nels: Sports, Casino,... Read more »

So here’s some good news in the world of eGam­ing, specif­i­cally online poker. I read this arti­cle on EGR this morn­ing and through I had to write a post on it. From the article: BOSS MEDIA HAS intro­duced fines for poker net­work licencees that rely too heav­ily on rake­back and don’t bring in enough casual los­ing poker play­ers, or ‘fish’. The rule will focus on the monthly... Read more »

August 28, 2009

Con­trary to pop­u­lar belief peo­ple do not gam­ble more dur­ing tough times, espe­cially online. They might drink more, smoke more and watch more movies but log­ging on to deposit into an online gam­ing site is one of the first things to go dur­ing such a bru­tal recession.

August 24, 2009

This is an inter­est­ing new devel­op­ment. Looks like the Province of British Colum­bia will be pro­vid­ing a legal online casino and online gam­bling web­site for res­i­dents of the province. The BCLC (British Colum­bia Lot­tery Cor­po­ra­tion) is guess­ing that their online casino offer­ing could gen­er­ate $100 Mil­lion in rev­enue by 2014. Hav­ing been involved... Read more »
