Place your bet from a phone the INQUIRER By Tony Dennis: Saturday 27 May 2006, 16:31 FRESH LEGISLATION aimed at preventing online gambling in the USA may entice mobile network operators into the gambling sector. Particularly if MVNOs move in to take advantage.
A bill sponsored by Republican, Robert Goodlatte, aims to make it illegal for US banks to process financial transactions involving online gambling. He raised the old chestnut of gambling undermining families to justify it.
A bit rich when the nation’s fastest growing city is Las Vegas. What exactly does he think families go there for? The rides?
Anyway, it’s pretty easy to raise a betting stake by using reverse SMS billing. The INQ was previously assured that reverse SMS billing can’t be used to pay for pornography in the USA. However, that wasn’t a law – merely a decision taken by the mobile operators themselves.
So there’s a prospect that an MVNO could set itself up to offer SIM cards which could then be used to pay for stakes on online PC sites or on mobile sites.
Somewhat ironically, the handset accessible casino which the INQ has fully tested – Wild Jack Mobile Casino – uses a casino owned by Native Americans to handle its bets.
As one of the best South Africa’s online casinos, Thunderbolt shines on the iGaming sky. Not only due to its great offering of diverse games and numerous bonuses, but also because it constantly invests efforts to improve the player’s experience. It was certainly brought to a new level with the operator’s new mobile version of the site.
This revamped version is more intuitive than ever before...
...enabling players to navigate the platform much easier.
Different cryptocurrencies have been used in online casinos for a couple of years now, and they're really seen as a viable option that could take over more and more of the market as time pushes forward. What we're seeing right now with Bitcasino.io just backs that idea up as they have added Ethereum to the overall banking method selection. On top of that, they've added a mobile cashier that has some innovative options.
The Importance of Ethereum
Last weekend a 32-year-old player on the Betsson mobile site won €1.12 million on the progressive jackpot slot, Empire Fortune. The late Saturday evening win by the Norwegian was just another in a string of Yggdrasil jackpots lately including a €3.5m jackpot on Joker Millions last month and €5.2m in July on the game that was won late Saturday night. The two slots share a jackpot pool so the progressive rises quickly. The July win of €5.2m set a record for the prize pool.
