The head boy from hell – Spiked

Posted: July 14, 2022 at 10:48 pm

Do you remember Rishimania? Of course you do. It was the most squirm-inducing political phenomenon of recent times. There was a point when even a glimpse of Rishi Sunaks ears was enough to send liberal-media types into a teenage frenzy. Those eager, wholesome ears, gushed a writer for the Gentlemans Journal, no doubt typing with one hand. Then there was that lingering hint of a playground lisp; his eyes that sparkle like a baby deer; his smooth and soft skin, as if a glowing Snapchat filter had been placed over Downing Street. Someone needs a cold shower.

GQ was at it, too. Its style editor reported feeling blindsided by [Rishis] kind eyes. Hereditary columnist Flora Gill fantasised about self-isolating with Rishi. Never mind taking the knee, Id happily get on two knees for the likes of Sunak, she said. Shes easily the worst thing Amber Rudd has ever done. It was during lockdown, when Rishi was splashing the cash, furloughing workers and giving us 50 per cent off our meals out, that the then chancellors star really rose. A writer for Ham&High summed up life in lockdown as follows: Toilet cleaning and crushes on Rishi Sunak. Sometimes I just dont understand the middle classes.

What was all that Rishiphilia about? It wasnt just his ears and eyes, fetching as Im sure they are. It was because Sunak was Not Boris. Yes, he might have been Boriss chancellor, but he was, in the glazed-over eyes of the liberal media, the Counter-Boris, a lisping, deer-like good guy to that scruffy oaf put into power by people who didnt even go to Durham, never mind Oxford. He was studious, stiff, unlikely to get pissed at a dinner party, in contrast with the populist loon that the media elites judged Boris to be.

As one Guardian writer put it, he was a technocrat in an age of populism. If we were at school, Rishi would be the kid who knows the librarian by her first name and sings competently in chapel, said that Gentlemans Journal piece. These people love competence above all else. Hes a cosmopolitan technocrat, said Bloomberg. Hes Captain Sensible while Boris is blundering, one insider told The Times in 2020.

So the fact that Sunak has been prepping his leadership-challenge website Ready for Rishi for months isnt surprising. The media elite has been talking him up as an anti-Boris force, the man who could return at-sea Britain to the safe shores of technocracy, for ages. For me, it is precisely that he is the favoured candidate of the sensible ancien rgime that we the people only just tried to turf out of power that makes him the worst possible choice for PM.

Yes, the Sunak shine has come off in recent months. He was fined over Partygate, his crazily rich wife was found to have non-dom status, and Rishi was exposed as holding a US green card until just last year (cosmopolitan technocrat, indeed). But make no mistake, the Smart Set still fantasises that he can fix this populist-scarred nation. They still believe that the man once christened by the New Statesman as an intellectually nimble and open-minded technocrat can turn the tide on the madness of the Boris and Brexit years.

Lets be honest: they like him because hes tepid. Everything about him is tepid. Even the statement he made in support of Brexit in 2016 was dry. It pains me that I have reached a different conclusion to people I greatly respect get on with it! but outside the EU our businesses [will] thrive in exciting new markets, he said. Such passion! Its like someone watching the English Revolution in the 1640s and thinking, I hope this improves my sales of cabbages.

Absence of passion is the key selling point of Ready for Rishi, too. Sunak is clearly keen to put himself above those pesky culture wars. Hes made noises about respecting sex-based words like woman and mother, but fundamentally he wants to be the unity candidate, he says. So naturally hes won the backing of Grant Shapps, who just yesterday said Britain needs to focus on bread-and-butter issues, not woke issues. The Rishi set is all about draining the populism and feeling from politics and just getting the job done. Im yawning.

This is the opposite of what Britain needs right now. We dont need a head boy (Sunak has the smile of a head boy, of someone who is handy with a jug of orange squash, say his mad fans). No, we need a bruiser. Not for the hell of it, not to be contrarian, but because there are massive battles ahead. The fight for Brexit isnt over, the fight against woke must be waged (whatever Sunak and Shapps say), and the fight for a better, freer, wealthier way of life is only beginning. We need a Churchill, not a choir boy. Dont vote Sunak, however cute his ears are.

Blowing Up Krakoa & Other Ways To Deal With Immortality (X-Spoilers) – Bleeding Cool News

Posted: at 10:46 pm

|

Today ses the publiucation of AXE Eve Of Judgement #1, Hellfire Gala #1 and Immortal X-Men #4. They all lead into the Judgment Day crossover, with Avengers pitted against X-Men ans Eternals now that the secret of mutant resurrection is out. And everyone is salty about it. But there are plenty of questions being raised.

So while Druig looks to wipe out all of mutanity on Earth, due to their excess deviation, for being immortal like the Eternals

Moira Mactaggert si plotting with Orchis to destroy Krakoa themselves, and even coming up with a catchy name.

While Druig justifies his actions in wiping out the mutants of Krakoa with a big bomb

We have Dr Stasis of Orchis suggesting that the murder of mutants may no longer be a crime, as they can be resurrected.

While Druig also plans for the eventual fallout for his bomb.

While Orchis is setting up its own device.

So at the Hellfire Gala, Tony Stark is predicting that something like this is going to happen. Maybe he read the leaked copies from the weekend.

While the world has its own reaction to the appearance of immortality amongst the mutants courtesy of The Five

and it is precisely the most predictable one.

People want in one way or another.

With very nasty consequences.

So how will this lead into Judgment Day? Well some, like Mister Sinister, already know its coming through their Moira Mactaggert timeline resetting clones.

It's a future that Destiny has also seen coming, and so manipulated Sinister to keep this timeline going.

After all, in today's Marauders, we know what too much time changing can do to the soul.

Especially when written down in monologue.

Howver, bombs don't go off, not lietral ones. Moira Mactaggert plants one ion Proteus, her son's mind, before making her departure with Mary Jane Watson's body.

And on returning, seems to have made quite a mess in next month's Amazing Spider-Man #9.

And is ready to reach across the aisle and spill the beans to her new best friends including the Eternals crime lord Jack of Knives.

Jack Of Knives is a recent Eternal on the scene, created by Kieron Gillen and Esad Ribi for Eternals #7, with the power of invisibility. Jack of Knives is one of the Tricks, the four Eternal crime lords, the only one we have seen yet. Could this be Ivani Goldentouch accompanying them? After some of the Eternals learned that their ressurective process was taking human lives, Jack of Knives warned Ikaris not to reveal that to humans, promising to kill any should Ikaris do so. Looks like the Eternals have their own resurrection truth to hide. Might the X-Men threaten them with that revelation as well?

Secrets and Lies, Secrets and Lies who else will be judged on Judgment Day?

So You Want To Build An Online Casino? – US Bets

Posted: at 10:45 pm

The term iGaming covers both online casino gamingandonline sports wagering, each of which are spreading legally across the U.S. on a state-by-state basis. The pace of iCasino to market, however, has been and will undoubtedly continue to be slower than sports betting. Only six states currently offer legal online casino.

In those states where iCasino is allowed, theres plenty of money to be made. But building such an entity as an operator is far more involved than simply buying a web domain and declaring open for business. There are laws, regulations, marketing agreements, vendors, suppliers, compliance offers all of which have to be on the same page just to open the virtual doors to your gaming paradise, let alone turn a profit.

No two states are alike when it comes to laws and regulations, so best practices in one may not hold true in others. Beyond that, there are many steps involved, and failure to pay attention to specific parts of each step will make the difference between having a chance for success and profitability and failure.

This was the key takeaway from a day-long presentation by Itsik Akiva and Jason Wolf Rosenberg from American iGaming Solutions as part of the SBC North America Summit in New Jersey.

One of the first things any potential operator has to do is choose what to offer. Will your iGaming site/app offer just online sports wagering, online casino gaming, or both?

For the purposes of this article, as we walk through the process with a new mythical iGaming company, lets factor in the overlap in customer base and choose to maximize potential profit by offering both.

Additionally, lets presume our company has the means to achieve launch after an internal assessment showed the economic feasibility to do so. In other words, we have the financial means to accept the potential not to be profitable for a period of time after opening. To make money, you have to spend money.

Now lets grapple with the cold, hard reality of trying to turn a profit. Assume a $1 bill represents each vertical one for sports wagering, one for casino gaming. The industry standard hold for online sports wagering is 7%, which means our company will gain one nickel and two pennies for every dollar wagered on a sporting event on our site.

For online casino gaming, the return-to-player rate (RTP) ranges from 90% to 99.5%. Because our company has the ability to spend money to offer a quality product, let us say the overall RTP is 94%. That means our company over the long haul will gain one nickel and one penny from every $1 wager on that side of the virtual casino.

We now have two nickels and three pennies, which constitute our increase via gross gaming revenue (GGR). Then the deductions begin, most notably in the form of state taxes, which vary from state to state, and supplier fees. Thus, our net gaming revenue (NGR) will be lower, perhaps notably so, compared to our GGR. If our company is catering to a state like Pennsylvania, that 36% tax rate for sports betting, 54% tax rate for slots, and 16% tax rate for table games will sting. If it is in New Jersey, the 15% rate is less taxing.

Since online gaming is regulated on a state-by-state basis, rules vary crossing state lines. But the universal fact is you must deal with a state regulatory agency that sets ground rules covering the organizational aspects of the company as well as technical and operational elements and responsible gaming standards.

The technical aspects of operation that states certify through testing involve the games themselves, which is somewhat out of an operators control unless the games are developed in-house. Most times, operators will team up with platform providers. Operators also have this option available for sports wagering, and there are platforms that provide both verticals.

Do the above right, and a state will award you the license that gives you the privilege of offering iGaming to the public in that state.

KYC Know Your Customer has become sort of a catch-all phrase covering all facets of interaction with consumers. For online gaming, those facets include deposits and withdrawals, loyalty programs, and protections against fraud. In the online gaming world, fraud is the biggest worry for any company because the customer now outside the brick-and-mortar location starts as an anonymous person, and not everyone is as pure as the fallen snow.

The first steps for a customer are registering and opening an account, which requires that person to provide an identity. From there, the process of player account management (PAM) begins. The goal of PAM is to make the process as frictionless as possible, from the deposit of funds to the placement of an online wager but this is also a challenge.

It starts with the basic proof of identification, which confirms the bettor is of legal age to wager. It may also include proof of residency and proof of payment method. It could also advance to providing a tax identifier in the form of a Social Security card. With the power of technology comes the convenience of sending a photo to an operator that confirms any of this information.

That is the primary component of KYC, but another of near-equal importance is the ability for bettors to self-impose responsible gaming limits. The velocity of online gaming is much faster than that of a brick-and-mortar casino.

There need to be controls in place to help players recognize their limits. Operators must show responsibility, though there are varying levels of permissiveness based on state regulations. It appears that those that are proactive in allowing players to set limits and which prominently display such tools for customers tend to have better long-term player retention.

Marketing for the online casino has to be a multi-prong effort one that reaches out to everyone from the older brick-and-mortar casino patron to the younger generation that has a smartphone handy at almost all times. Social media engagement is now a key metric that portends success; if someone is looking at your content, that person is not looking elsewhere.

Because the online account collects and accumulates data it will know the type of wagers made by a player and his deposit and withdrawal history it is now possible to move beyond a one-size-fits-all marketing campaign to tailor offers and promotions for specific subsets of bettors.

That helps with the two-way migration process for sports bettors who want to dabble in online casino gaming and vice versa. This is part of an eventual evolution pattern of what could become a super app that becomes a one-stop shop for gaming and content.

The last key component is having an internal buy-in of employees.

If a brick-and-mortar operator is evolving to add an online casino product, there may be an understandable hesitancy on the part of a card dealer or a roulette runner to not want to promote the product because it could be viewed as a threat to employment. In reality, though, a quality online gaming product augments the physical location.

The internal marketing machinations of promoting the online gaming site at the physical location create a needed avenue of integration and onboarding. The first impression created by employees is critical for engagement.

It only takes one thing to go sideways to create a ripple effect that could prove damaging in the long term. Something as simple as one slot game not operating correctly or failing to load will drive a customer away potentially forever. And even if it is not your fault as an operator if that game fails to load, it is perceived as your fault. You want the buck to stop with you, which also means finding a way to bring that buck back when challenged.

But if youve done all these things, along with due diligence involving integration, regulation, contracting, and marketing, and you have a little bit of luck on your side, you too can be an online gaming success.

The Benefits of Cryptocurrency in Live Online Casino Games – Yahoo Finance

Guest Post

Oakland, CA --News Direct-- Guest Post

In recent years, blockchain technology has revolutionized society. It will continue to be one of the twenty-first century's most remarkable innovations. It gives the most significant advantages to critical industries, such as the gaming sector, in their daily operations.

In recent years, cryptocurrency has grown into a worldwide phenomenon. Online gaming is one industry that benefits from the use of cryptocurrencies.

Since the start of human civilization, gaming and gambling have existed. Its growth has been substantial with the advent of the internet, and it continues to develop around the globe.

This movement has been fostered by blockchain technology, which has allowed the creation of decentralized gambling applications.

There are now two notable cryptocurrencies used in gambling: Bitcoin and Ethereum. They are often used for deposits and withdrawals in live casino games.

People throughout the globe have long enjoyed playing games as a leisure activity.

People like taking risks to see whether they can win big by playing live casino online games, playing cards or blackjack and roulette, betting on horses, or using online slot machines.

A new kind of gaming has emerged: live casino gambling using bitcoin.

What are the benefits of gaming or gambling with cryptocurrency? Continue reading to discover why so many people are engaged in this wager!

1. Increased Bonuses

Since crypto transactions are end-to-end, they are less costly to process. There are no middlemen involved in the sending and receiving of cryptocurrencies.

This is why online casinos that accept cryptocurrencies offer their clients substantial bonuses and promotions. It is a win-win scenario for both the operators and the players.

2. Instantaneous transactions

In the gaming business, the requirement for third-party or manual involvement has caused widespread annoyance among players who must wait a substantial period to be compensated for their efforts.

Story continues

On the other hand, the advent of bitcoin removes the need for external validation, allowing players to deposit or withdraw instantly and effectively, freeing up valuable time to be spent on the actual game.

In the last several years, there has also been a rising sense of discontent among an increasing number of game developers who cannot sell their games outside official app stores.

Nano-payments may guarantee that software developers not only receive payments in a couple of minutes but also process them in a fraction of the time by using the extensive advantages of blockchain.

3. Improved Credibility

With the proper implementation and management, crypto industries allow the gaming industry and sports betting to provide a superior consumer experience.

The most significant benefit is that online gaming sites no longer need to collaborate with third-party organizations since they are capable of doing everything.

4. Security

One of the significant benefits of gambling with cryptocurrencies is their extreme security. When using conventional cash to bet, there is always a chance that your funds may be stolen or lost.

However, if you bet with cryptocurrencies, your money is held in a blockchain, making them almost hard to hack. This indicates that you may rest easy knowing that your money is secure.

5. Decentralization

The decentralization of the whole process encourages the use of cryptocurrencies for gaming. When using conventional cash to bet, your funds are routed via a central authority, such as a bank or the government.

However, when you bet with cryptocurrencies, your funds are transferred directly from person to person, without the involvement of a third party. This makes it far quicker and more effective than conventional approaches.

In addition, since each transaction is decentralized and bypasses a middleman, deposits and withdrawals conducted with a BTC casino may be much cheaper.

Bitcoin transactions are still subject to transaction fees, although these fees are substantially less than those associated with conventional currencies.

6. Anonymity

Likewise, security is vital here. Blockchain networks retain records and remove the need for user accounts, enabling users to protect the confidentiality of their sensitive data.

Using this method, a participant's identity is not attached to a transaction. Alternatively, a wallet address and a unique identifier are used.

Consequently, a person's information remains private while the system maintains honesty and security, supported by e-wallet anti-money laundering criteria.

Conclusion

As you can see, there are several benefits to gambling with cryptocurrencies, which helps to explain why so many online gamblers currently choose this method.

The numerous advantages and benefits make a BTC casino an attractive alternative for all gamers since it is safe, offers a high degree of anonymity, and rapid transactions with cheaper costs due to the decentralized nature of the virtual currency.

This article should be in a position to provide you with all the facts and answers you need to make an informed decision. Suppose you have considered using a Bitcoin casino but were unsure whether they would have benefits over regular casinos.

The Top 10 UK Online Casinos Based On Bonuses And Real Money Games – Salon Priv Magazine

Posted: at 10:45 pm

The popularity of online casinos increases as time goes by. Read this article and learn more about the best online casinos in the UK and their promotions

Many factors must be taken into consideration while searching for the top UK online casinos, including bonuses, games, security, customer service, and more. The UKs internet gaming market is booming. The popularity of internet casinos among British gamblers may be attributed to a variety of causes.

For the most part, its a simple matter of convenience. Rather than needing to drive to a land-based casino, players may bet from the comfort of their own homes. There is a myriad of play casino games when it comes to online gambling. As a way of attracting new customers, online casinos with real money games provide enticing incentives and promotional offers.

To find a legal online casino with bonuses, you should seek wagering advisors, who can give you detailed information about the online casinos and the way it operates. Loyal players may also take advantage of a VIP program at several online casinos in the United Kingdom and increase the chances of a casino win. Safe and secure gaming is provided by the UK Gambling Commission via online casinos (UKGC). A safe and secure online gaming experience is available to all gamers.

Weve done all the work for you, so you dont have to worry about sifting through a seemingly infinite list of UK casinos. Weve spent hours and hours testing them out, and weve come up with a list of the finest UK online casinos. However remember that similar to betting on volleyball or other sports, you need a strategy when it comes to gambling at online casinos.

Online casinos provide wonderful games, substantial promotions, and a great overall experience for their customers.

The Rank Group, which owns Grosvenor Casinos in the UK, is well-known to residents of that country. Youve probably been to at least a handful of the 57 spots throughout the country, particularly if you live near or often visit a seaside town like Brighton or Blackpool. The self-proclaimed largest casino brand in the UK, County Clubs, has been there since the 1970s, but the corporation has recently taken over the casino scene in the United Kingdom.

With the acquisition of Gala in 2013, which added 19 land-based casinos to their portfolio, they have become the biggest operator in the UK. The Alderney Gambling Control Commission and the UK Gambling Commission have both granted full licenses to the online casino, so gamers may play with total confidence.

In the United Kingdom, there are 57 Grosvenor live casinos, with eight of them located in the capital city of London. Local casino finders may be found on the website of the casino in question, or you can check out our top five by selecting the Local UK Casinos and heading higher up this page to find your nearest location.

Youll be able to find a G casino no matter where you go in the United Kingdom! Sorry, except for Northern Ireland. You may still have a good time even if you dont have a lot of money if you play at Grosvenor online casinos, which include in-house restaurants and bars, as well as fantastic entertainment and live music.

PlayOJO is a relatively young brand in the online casino industry, but it has quickly established itself as one of the most fascinating places to play. Its because of a variety of factors, such as the large range of excellent games and the generous incentives on offer.

The UK Gambling Commission has granted PlayOJO a full gambling license, making it a completely safe location to play. In addition, independent testing of the random number generators by professionals has proved that all of the games are fair.

Microgaming, NetEnt, and Yggdrasil are just some of the big names in the industry, but youll also find games from smaller businesses like Merkur and Amaya on the casino website.

The Top 10 UK Online Casinos Based On Bonuses And Real Money Games - Salon Priv Magazine

Next generation of live casino games proving a big hit with players Retail Technology Innovation Hub – Retail Technology Innovation Hub

No one could have imagined when the first real money, software driven casino games first went live in the early 1990s that they would prove to be as popular as they became.

However, as the years and then decades ticked by, the technological advancement in not only software and computers but the speed at which people can connect to and surf the internet has led to online casinos becoming far more advanced than there once were.

Trust in the actual casino games being offered is important, for due to the speed at which players can play online, they do tend to play more hands of for example Blackjack, more spins of a roulette wheel or slot machines reels, which means they encounter much quicker losing sessions that they ever would when playing in a land-based casino.

That can often make those losing very quickly when gambling online believe the games they are played are in some way rigged or fixed, for lets face it software can be designed in any way, and when real money is involved there have been instances in the past were unscrupulous gambling site operators have rigged their games against players.

I am pleased to let you know though, that with many countries having now put in place laws and regulations regarding online casino sites and issuing licenses to those they do regulate and oversee, the days of rigged online casino games are long gone, as long of course as you stick to only ever playing at licensed casino sites.

For reference, if you are about to venture into the online gambling environment for the very first time and you want to ensure you only access licensed and regulated casinos, you will not go far wrong at the casino spy website, who have reviewed and checked out literally hundreds of casinos, and will pass on their experience in locating a first class casino to you once you visit their website.

Before any casino game can be launched online it must go through a full and independent game verification process, which will see a games testing company run billions of gameplay scenarios through that game to ensure it plays exactly as it has been designed and that it achieves its long term expected RTP and house edge too.

But at the end of the day you will still be up against a piece of software and a random number generator and will not be getting the exact same type of gaming experience when playing online than you would when playing at a land-based casino.

That is unless you choose to make use of one of the next generation of gambling platforms, those being ones which offer what are collectively known as live casino games.

What makes those platforms so technically advanced and much more appealing to gamblers is that they offer casino card and table games which are real life ones being played in a land-based casino which players play when linked up to a live video stream.

As such you are simply placing your bets and wagers onto for example a Blackjack table but from wherever you happen to be and make the same betting and playing decision as you would in a land-based casino but via your computer.

As you can see via the live real-time video stream all aspects of the game being played out before you very eyes and can additionally interact with the casino staff and fellow players via an onscreen chat box too, that does increase the popularity and playability of those games and do instil a much greater feeling of fair play to players too.

There are additional ways that you can verify all is well at any casino sites that you choose to play at, and that is via the player accessible audit facilities most of them now offer their customers.

What they allow anybody to do is to take a look back at any previous real money sessions and see in full detail the stakes they played each game for, the outcome of each game played and then workout the RTP or house edge they achieved on one or more sessions.

By doing so players often see for themselves the bigger picture as to their gaming sessions and can see for themselves just how good or bad they have been doing over time.

All gambling regulators that do oversee online casino sites also require the operators of those sites to make known to players the payout percentages that each game they offer have been set at, and that information is often listed on a casinos website.

It does, of course, therefore go without saying that the savviest players out there are always going to make a beeline to that information to help them compile a shortlist of games they should be playing, those being the ones that have been designed to return more of their stake money as winning payouts over the long term, so do keep that in mind.

Drake Wins More Than $25M At Online Roulette Table, Only to Lose it All – Casino.Org News

Posted: at 10:45 pm

Posted on: July 13, 2022, 07:28h.

Last updated on: July 14, 2022, 02:15h.

Drake, the Canadian rapper and multimillionaire, isnt afraid to take big risks at the casinos or sportsbooks. He has a propensity for huge wagers, and his latest adventure saw a win of more than $25 million at an online roulette table.

Drake, whose hits include One Dance and Gods Plan, dropped in on his favorite online casino, Stake, this past Monday. He shared his action on a Twitch Livestream, allowing his fans to follow him, as well as the virtual pill.

During the broadcast, Drake increased his winnings to $12 million, including a $5.73-million win on his first attempt. Eventually, his take reached over $27 million. But it wouldnt last. By the end of the session, Drake had only $1,879 left in the bank.

During the session, Drake scored big wins for $5.73 million and $3.87 million. He also added $12.96 million when he hit a jackpot.

Caught up in the excitement, Drake spread the wealth. Some of those who followed the Livestream allegedly received $25,000 if they won live draws he was holding. Later, as the session wore on, Drake continued his roller-coaster ride, adding $8 million here, losing $4 million there.

Toward the end of the action, forgetting the adage that you should quit while youre ahead, the Hotline Bling singer wrapped things up almost empty-handed. At least, as empty-handed as someone worth $250 million can be.

Accompanying Drake was a rapper out of Morocco, French Montana. The two have collaborated on songs in the past and are reportedly working on new arrangements.

Drake is coming off a major win with a UFC bet. He took Israel Adesanya to beat Jared Cannonier in UFC 276, a wager that put an additional $220,000 in his pocket.

In addition to that win, Drake has repeated turned to Stake to take a chance at roulette. This past January, a video of him hitting the virtual table landed on social media. Then, in May, he allegedly won $17.9 million on a single spin in another live-streamed event.

The gambling airwaves arent full of stories of an Average Joe repeatedly winning big amounts like Drake has. Instead, theres an occasional stroke of good luck, and roulette has better odds than other forms of gambling. However, the continued good fortune might, sooner or later, raise eyebrows.

Stake holds an iGaming license in Curacao, which is currently undergoing a reform of its gaming regime. As a result, operators will soon find that stricter controls are in place, as well as heightened scrutiny.

@Drake is the only man who can open an account and bet a million dollars, the rest of us mortals can win $100. When you're already cheating your users, cheat them a little better

PoopHero (@PoopHero3) July 12, 2022

If Drakes repeated good luck is part of a larger plan to drum up business, Stake could find itself in trouble. While there is no evidence that any wrongdoing is taking place, some believe there is.

This could ultimately lead to Stake finding itself on the hot seat. Of course, it would impact Drake, too. But hed probably write it off, like he did with a $200,000 loss in Atlantic City.

The rest is here:

Online vs. land-based casinos: Where should you play at (factors to consider) – The Leader Newspaper

Posted: at 10:45 pm

Land-based players: Nothing beats the feeling of sitting across a poker table, reading opponents telltales and calling peoples bluff.

Online players: The sort of comfort and bonus offers you get from online casinos can never be matched at any land-based casino.

Land-based players: True casino players go to live casinos to play. Only kids play online.

Online players: Old-school players, you mean. Everybody knows the world has gone digital. Its time you catch up mate.

This is the sort of back-and-forth you can expect when live and online casino players come together.

Given a chance, both parties will present a hundred reasons why they think their version of the game is the best. And, Im willing to bet all the reasons will be logical and convincing.

For you, a wannabe casino player, it can be hard making a choice after listening to these folks rant. In your head, youre stuck with questions. Should I listen to the guy advocating for slot online or should I head to Nevada and have a taste of live casino?

Before making a decision, Ill advise you to read this post first. It should help you understand things better.

According to statistics, the clear winner is online casinos, given that:

Stat Source

As a newbie casino player, you can make a decision on where you want to play based on the following factors:

There are hundreds of casino games out there. So, before coming here, I believe youve made up your mind about the games you want to start with. Is it baccarat, poker, blackjack, craps, Sic Bo, roulette, slots?

So, to choose between a land-based and an online casino, you need to ask yourself where its most comfortable to find your game of choice. I remember I started my casino journey in 2016 with Sic Bo. Then, most of the casinos around me werent offering Sic Bo. As a result, I had to settle for online casinos.

You dont have to change your game choice because you feel you must play at the casino closest to your house. If the land-based casinos around you dont have what you want, go online and play.

To get started at any casino game, you need money. However, how much you need depends on where youre gambling.

As far as pocket-friendly wagers go, online casinos are your best bet. You can find games for as low as $1 or less to play online. We cant really say the same about land-based casinos because many of them attract the creme de la creme of the society.

If youre looking for an opportunity to enjoy plenty of bonuses, your best bet is to go online. You wont find many land-based casinos offering you free bets, spins, x10 of your wager, or any of those things.

It is easier to carry money into a land-based casino, and it is much easier to exit with your winnings. Sadly, we cant say the same about all online casinos.

Money movement can be quite challenging at online casinos, especially when it comes to withdrawal. Ive been in a situation where it took me months to transfer my winnings to my local bank account from an online casino operating overseas.

Before jumping into any online casino, find out about their money movement policies. You want to sign up with an online casino that is flexible and swift with money transfers.

Online casinos are the kinds of T&Cs. Yes, we said they offer the nicest bonus offers and the best collection of games. But you must know that many of these deals come with complicated T&Cs.

For example, an online casino may offer you x10 your first deposit. But before you can withdraw any earnings you win with that bonus, you must satisfy some conditions.

The T&Cs are why many players run from online casino bonuses.

Casinos have evolved beyond the traditional systems of wagering against the house. Nowadays, games like slots and roulettes are played in tournament fashion, wherein multiple layers compete against one another for a bigger prize.

If youd like to take part in a casino tournament, you may find that your best bet is to go online. At land-based casinos, it is hard to stage a tournament because players come in at different times.
