Calling All Millionaires. Building an Online Poker Empire (Page 1 of 2)
The internet has opened doors to miraculous opportunities. Every person around the world can literally become your customer if you have the right product or service to offer them. Many people have become wealthy because of the internet, but some have become mega wealthy.
The online gaming industry has produced multiple Billionaires over the last 7 years. That’s billionaire with a B. Take Ruth parasol, the co founder of Party poker (Party Gaming). Ruth standed to make an additional $683 million the day her company went public. Then, there is Calvin Ayre. He founded the Bodog sports book empire. Bodog takes hundreds of millions of dollars in beting action each year.
There appears to be a shroud of mystery around the legality of online gaming. At times, the United States government has intervened and tried to police the world as one nation. The interesting thing to note is that there are many variables to setting up and doing business as an online gaming company. US citizen or not, the US government has only gone after sports book and sports book processing companies.
In the past 7 years, US citizens contributed most of the online gaming revenue globally. In the past two years, things have really started to change. Regardless of recent US law changes, US players really haven’t slowed down with online gaming. Online gaming is growing at a cancerous rate. This is because of internet broadband expansion on a global basis. Citizens from other countries across the globe are starting to place wagers online. They are finally able to do so because of high speed internet access availability..
If every US citizen stopped placing wagers online today, the online global gaming industry would still grow at an alarming rate. What’s even more interesting, is that NOT one US citizen has ever been prosecuted by the US government for taking wagers online from non-us citizens outside of this country.
Thanks to client language software (software that runs in different languages), it is now possible to market gaming globally and successfully. You can be a US citizen, and legally own and operate an online casino, poker room, and or sports book, providing that NONE of your customers are in the United States, or are US citizens.
The recent US law banning US poker may get repealed this month. You can learn more about that by researching the UIGEA repeal ACT to be held on September, 26th, 2007. Not to mention, it looks like the government will never go after poker rooms due to the public unrest involved against the law. There are at least 5 large successful poker rooms that still take US players. They promote their poker sites all over television with US poker celebrities as their spokesmen. They are Poker Stars, Ultimate Bet, Full Tilt Poker, Absolute Poker, and Doyles Room. One of the founders of Doyles Room is Doyle Brunson. Doyle lives in Nevada and doesn’t hide under his bed. The only type of gaming site that the US government has ever gone after is a sports book. The only type of processing company the US government has ever gone after is a processing company that would process the sports books deposits/withdrawals.

Playing internet bingo is well known as a great place for single men to meet ladies. Since a large majority of internet bingo players are women the odds are clearly in favor of men. Many a romance has blossomed through internet bingo and lively chat rooms on most bingo websites make it incredibly easy for men to meet and chat with several women. A recent report from the UK where internet bingo is incredible popular tells the story of an online marriage proposal. The happy couple met on a popular UK bingo website and romance took its course between a player known as daddybear1 and chat room host cuckoo2286. Daddybear1 contacted the website manager and asked for permission to make the marriage proposal during a popular game on March 12th.
Daddybear1 obtained permission and the die was cast. Daddybear1 told all his friends so they could join him online and share in the happy moment. Several of his friends logged on to the site to witness the proposal. Daddybear1s proposal read; “I wanted to do this in FreeBingo as this is where I met my partner. Kath Cuckoo Spencer I am asking you if you will do the honours of becoming my wife.” The proposal was nearly thwarted when a full house was called the moment the proposal appeared on the screen. Several roomies were posting excited messages and the proposal disappeared very quickly. The chat monitor Wayne saved the moment and told roomies what had just happened.
The prospective bride kept Daddybear1 in suspense saying, “I need to thinkkk.” A short time later the answer came when cuckoo2286 said; “I thought – and YESSSSSSSSSS.” The future bride said she initially missed the question and others in the chat room encouraged her to say yes. Cuckoo2286 stated, “I did miss the question, just saw someone say “say yes cuckoo lol”, so I did. But it makes no difference, I will say yes.”
There have been other instances of online bingo romances. Mike Hunt, from Norwich met his wife in an internet bingo chat room. Mike tells the story; “We had known each other for months and got on really well. She was divorced and I am a widower so we both enjoyed the company. “Eventually, we exchanged email details and finally got the courage up to send each other pictures. I thought she was beautiful and seven months later we both decided to tie the knot. So far, things have been great and we both still love our bingo together.” In addition to the possibility of romance internet bingo offers entertainment and great prizes and jackpots. Bingo sites are going all out and offer players huge bingo bonuses in addition to other player perks. Players can take advantage of a bingo sign up bonus and can double or even triple their initial deposit. Internet bingo has a lot to offer players and romance is frosting on the cake!
