Spanish Authorities Demand Taxation

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 12:00 am

Only weeks ahead of the first issuing of Spanish gambling licenses, the authorities did a volte-face and demanded that the applicants return backdated taxes for the previous four years. This unfortunate and game-changing surprise was not welcome and the poker information website Pokerfuse reported that many big Spanish gambling operators may face huge financial losses as a result. Of these, Bwin.Party is estimated to be losing around Euro 60 million, whereas it is a whopping Euro 200 million for PokerStars! The latter is actively considering repaying the amount, but the others may find it rather difficult to afford it and could end up withdrawing their license applications. According to Pokerfuse, the Gaming Act passed during the previous year had forced operators to get their licenses from January, 2012. But, deadlines were missed and there were consequent delays in regulation. The gambling operators were permitted to continue their operations till the licenses came through. When the licenses would finally come through, they would have to be prepared to meet the tax bills from July 2011, when the Act had been passed. This new move by the Spanish government for retrieving four year taxes is bound to have a lasting impact both on the business and monetary calculations of these companies.

Nutblocker bids adieu

Nearly a year and a half after it was launched, the poker educational website Nutblocker finally bade farewell. This website had been the brainchild of many leading internet stalwarts to enhance the player’s knowledge regarding pot Limit Omaha & Mixed Games. It was designed to improve interaction among the players and contained expert advice for their benefit including interviews with the most successful players. In March of this year, the company which had launched the Nutblocker magazine for less than $30 discontinued it. In a specification it was upheld that all the buyers had been duly compensated for all purchases made. The magazine and other content were left free on the website as a goodwill gesture.

Irish Bill to raise Euros

The politicians in Ireland are all set to pass an enactment prior to the summer break in the Parliament. This is directed to impose a one percent tax on the turnover for all gambling operators that are dealing in Irish bets. It is believed that during the first year, the taxes are going to be paid by 77 percent operators. This is expected to bring in 50 million Euros. The companies like Boyle Sports and Paddy Power are regarded as the most targeted betting companies. A Betfair commissioned report conducted by experts at PricewaterhouseCoopers holds that the taxes are expected to absorb 77 percent of the market from 2013 to 2016 and generate nearly 50 million Euros.

Partnership for Gaming

Buzz Sports which is based out of Leeds is all set to partner with Boylesports to launch ZonePlay vis-à-vis the sports betting site called Boylesports.com. This launch will then allow UK and Irish punters to bet on something which happens next in addition to the current betting markets which this sports site already offers. ZonePlay will include English Premier League soccer, cricket, tennis, baseball, basketball, and NFL.

Special Cancelled Withdrawal Bonus by Rushmore Casino

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 12:00 am

Often, when players trying their hand at online casino games win, they immediately seek withdrawal for the winning amount. But, soon after they begin to have doubts as to whether withdrawal would indeed be the right move at this point in time. After all, they have been enjoying a good run at the casinos and many would want to ride their luck for a longer while. But, cancelling withdrawals might involve calculated efforts and therefore many players do not wish to choose it.

Now Rushmore Casino has made a novel progress in this domain. They would now make withdrawal efforts worthwhile by awarding special bonuses to the players seeking withdrawals. This innovative drive has been termed the “Second Chance Chip.” This will surely prove to be advantageous for the players who wish to cash in on what we call the gut feel. Players of the Rushmore Casino who desire availing this benefit would have to get in touch with customer service without further delay. Their withdrawal requests would then be cancelled and the amount would be credited back to their playing account. One can make the request by email, live chat, or phone.

If the amount has been wagered only once, Rushmore Casino would be awarding a cent percent match bonus, providing a second chance to the player for winning his money back. This bonus would be added only when the playing balance of the player hits the zero mark. If you have registered several withdrawals with Rushmore, you end up being eligible for Second Chance Chip for each withdrawal that has been cancelled. But, this offer extended by Rushmore Casinos is subject to a few conditions and rules. Players would only be eligible for this bonus if they have processed the playing deposit through their credit card or through the gift card sold by Rushmore Casino. Besides, the reverse withdrawal must not be less than $25!

This bonus is a play bonus. You can cash out only the winnings linked to the bonus and not the bonus! Wagering requirements would have to be met if you wish to withdraw the winnings from the bonus. Cash outs can only be made when the reverse withdrawal money as well as the bonus amount has been wagered over 30 times. One-third of the value of wagering requirements would be contributed by Bonus Poker, Blackjack, Video Poker, and Texas Holdem. Wagering requirements will not be fulfilled by baccarat, craps, bingo, roulette, and so on.

For more information on the ongoing lucky games offered by the Rushmore Casino, the players would now have to take a look at the Winner’s Corner. This can be accessed with the help of the “Why Rushmore” titled tab situated on the main header. The games that have proved to be most profitable through the month of May have been categorically listed here. A whopping $30,801.5 has been won by Mary from America on the Bunko Bonanza. Charles, an Australian citizen, also won $15,497 on the European Roulette.

InterHeroes Promotion Begins at InterCasino

Filed under: Casino — Tags: , — OCE News @ 12:00 am

The following leg of the promotion of InterHero Assemble begins at the InterCasino soon. The players who could not be a part of the first leg can now make the most of this promotion. Those who have already been a part of the first leg can try once more! Slated to begin on 10th May, the promotional events would take place till 27th May. This time, the prize pool on offer is much bigger and players can have a whale of a time.

In order to choose the promotion, the players at InterCasino must enter “VEL” as the bonus code. Failing to enter this code would mean that the wagering they do will not contribute to the promotion. This promotion code is not the same as the one provided in the first leg. Once the code has been entered and registered, a minimum deposit of $25 has to be made for establishing eligibility. This gives them the ticket of wagering to their heart’s content. They can wager on online slots offered by the InterCasino and collect points for cashback.

The cashback points awarding system is similar to that used usually at the InterCasino during the regular gaming sessions. If you wish to double up on the loyalty points collected, you would have to wager on the superhero online slots like the “Hulk Ultimate Revenge” as well as the “Iron Man.” Once the promotional events are over, the players would now be arranged on a board based on the points accumulated by each. This is done to determine the winners and the topmost 80 players in this category would be sharing the prize money.

The player winning the highest cashback points will receive an award of $1200! This is $200 above the prize designated in the first leg of the promotional events. Therefore, players would have a heftier sum of money to play for. The prize money for the second place would be $600 and the third place winner would get around $400. The prize amount will only have to be wagered once before withdrawal. For the rest of the winners, there would be bonuses starting from $100 to about $40! But, this bonus would be required to be wagered around 15 times prior to withdrawal.

The rewards do not end here! There is another special way in which the InterCasino plans to reward its players. Each time the players register a win of 100 cashbacks on the online slots featured in the promotion, a bonus of $15 is rewarded to them. This amount can be won almost ten times during the course of this promotion event. This gives players the opportunity to make $150 extra during the course of the promotion, absolutely free of cost. This is because there are no wagering hassles attached to this bonus.

The website of the InterCasino showcases a write up about each of the slots featured in this promotion if players aren’t aware about them. These slots have been duly developed by Cryptologic under a Marvel Comics license and are considered branded slots. The “Hulk Ultimate Revenge” is a video slot game with 25 lines with three explosions triggering the bonus game. In addition, if you choose The Iron Man, it offers extra rewards each time you help the protagonist find hidden blueprints. Both these games are connected to the jackpot network.
