Offshore Online Casinos In Great Britain To Be Licensed Again

August 31, 2018   Game type   No comments

It’s been all quite in the UK gambling industry until the FullTilt bombshell exploded. Remember the scandal with the British players being unable to get their money from this poker website? Well, the Department of Culture, Media and Sports is now determined to protect all UK players against the evils of offshore online casinos.

It is really nice that the British government is so much concerned about the safety of its citizens’ hard earned money, but the question is: will British gamblers really benefit from a crackdown on non-UK based online casinos?

Supposedly, according to the new rules, all casino operators hoping to run a gambling business in the UK will have to submit applications to the Gambling Commission and obtain another licence. Although the Treasury is avoiding straightforward announcements, you will hardly find anyone who doesn’t understand the real reasons for this interference. It’s just the first step towards reclaiming taxes that had been lost when many of the UK online casinos went offshore.

Even some industry giants have moved to smaller jurisdictions in order to avoid really high UK taxation. They wanted to be able to effectively compete with offshore online casinos and now it looks like they will have to consider moving back.

In addition, the new licensing scheme may lead to the annulment of the so-called “white list”, which used to put online casino operators licensed in one of the named jurisdictions in a favourable position. With the introduction of the new law they will not be able to operate and/or advertise in the UK, unless they get a licence from the British Gambling Commission. For UK gamblers this may mean that the number of available online casinos will be significantly reduced.

Michael Caselli, one of the world’s leading experts on online gaming and an editor of iGaming Business magazine, said: “The tax rate pretty much relates to how much less value the punter gets. A 10% tax rate is 10% less value for punters.” Indeed, British players will only lose if online casinos will want to compensate for their extra spending on taxes.

At the same time offshore gaming jurisdictions, such as Isle of Man seem to be unworried about the possible licensing changes. They believe they already adhere to high regulatory standards which are comparable to those in Britain and, as Allan Bell MHK, Isle of Man Economic Development Minister, noticed, “the UK Gambling Commission has no wish to duplicate the work that our Gambling Commission does in regulating our operators”.

February 20, 2018   Game guide   No comments

It may surprise you to know but there is a craze sweeping the UK which seems to attract British women in their thousands. This product is heavily advertised on British TV and women outnumber men on these sites sometimes by as much as 10 to 1. These sites attract the same women night after night, which proves that many are single, do not have an active social lives, so they are on the lookout for romance. Have you guessed what these sites are yet? No? Well let me tell you I’m talking about British online bingo sites!

Online bingo chat rooms are a great place to meet people and you don’t even need to play bingo to become part of the community as you can chat for free! The UK newspapers are full of stories of people who have met at online bingo chat rooms and have developed a long term relationship and in many cases even married.

Yes years ago bingo was only played by those over 50 or the blue rinse brigade as many called them but times have changed. Bingo has been sexed up by the British media and you will find women of all age ranges playing online. No this is not a ploy to get you to waste your money singing up to bingo sites, I’m going to tell you how to try this new dating method for free without spending any of your own money.

Firstly you need to find British online bingo sites as these are the ones that seem to have a higher ratio of women to men. Secondly you need to find online bingo affiliates that offer you free money to play on their sites. One of the best I have found to date is Online Bingo Sleuth and this even includes an article or two about those who have found their soul mate playing online bingo. So once you have your free money what should you do then? Easy wait until the evening, open up the site, then spend a little time searching all the rooms inside the site. Each room has its own chat so find the one which is the most popular. Don’t waste your money playing many cards each game and don’t even bother to play every game. Stick to playing cheap games that only cost 10 or 20 pence. With a £10 free bonus playing 10p games, you can play 100 games, if you only play 4 or 5 every night that’s enough for 20 nights!

Be supportive to the women players, wish them luck when they only need a few numbers to win, don’t be vulgar just be supportive and courteous and I will guarantee you will make friends and maybe more. Try also to visit the same room each night and you soon will become part of the community. This method is free to try and you may even win a few pounds and it sure is less stressful than joining an expensive dating site!
