Apparently, the UK online poker industry isn't doing as well as it once was. At least that's what the analysts are saying. But wait just a darn-tootin' second! Not everybody thinks it's accurate to say the UK online poker boom has fizzled out. And just who are these analysts anyways?...more>>

This month has thus far been a busy one for the online casino reviewers here at OCS. Having listed four reviewed online casinos to the OCS directory of approved sites, I believe that puts the number of approved casinos to over forty. The big Four Zero, aka, over the hill...more>>

really people, online gambling is supposed to be FUN. Sure, most people do it because of the chance of winning money. But we still have to remember that it's entertainment, and that there is no guarantee you will win - no matter how much strategy you use...more>>

Let's talk some online casino bonuses, shall we? It's been far too long my avid bonus hunters. Like I've said before, there's only so much you can say about bonuses. But that's quite a bit, actually. Considering all the bonus red tape, wagering conditions, cashout policies - you know the deal - Kate Goslin couldn't talk more about remarriage than I could pontificate on the meaning of online casino bonuses...more>>

Here's something I don't understand (what else is new, right?). Why is it that people who are accustomed to gambling at land-based casinos, have so much distrust toward online casinos. I mean, even the one's who actually gamble online still have reservations about doing so, and often end up going back to land-based casinos because they think they're getting better odds...more>>

Oh God! Your are NOT going to believe what I just read. Yet again, maybe you will. First, let me just say that for anyone unfamiliar with this blog, you should know that one of Sweetie's (yours truly) major pet peeves are when bonehead webmasters write up articles about online casinos strictly for search engine optimization purposes, and yet provide no useful content whatsoever...more>>

Slots Galore is little over a couple of weeks old, and has already seen a steady stream of players sign up with real money deposits. I mean, we don't even have an online casino review of Slots Galore posted here at OCS yet! But of course EHGV already has a strong following and reputation, not to mention very excellent affiliates promoting their brands....more>>

The concept of banning things is not a new one in China. Heck, nor is it a new one in the U.S. for that matter. But, in the U.S., at least the possibility that such a ban can potentially be overturned (cough, cough...UIGEA) exists. In China, when there's a ban, it usually stays that way...more>>

Why anyone would play at Full Tilt Poker does indeed blow my mind, not to mention my eyeballs, stomach and heart. It seriously is unfathomable to me. But then again, what you don't know, can't hurt, right? I guess as long as you continue never knowing about it...more>>

Timothy Geithner, he's our man! If he can't do it.....well, we're screwed. Okay, maybe not screwed, per say. But seriously folks, did you ever stop to consider whether getting online gambling regulated in the U.S. really isn't the best thing after all....more>>

Is that a vein I see? Bulging from the forehead of the Interactive Media Entertainment...something or another...blah, blah, blah, blah, blah? Why yes, I think it is. Look out below, it's going to blow! Okay, so let me first say that I appreciate what the Interactive Media Entertainment and Gaming Association (iMEGA) is trying to do to help get online gambling regulated in the United States...more>>

Sustainable online casinos? Who knew? Well, according to the website of Del Rio Casino, for every new depositing player, they will plant a tree. Billing themselves as the "First Eco-Casino", or rather "First Eco Online Casino", Casino Del Rio has come a long way from their early days as a tropical-themed casino in the late nineties...more>>

Cherry Red Casino, which is indeed open to all corners of the world, including the U.S., offers a massive 200% video poker bonus worth up to $1,200 Free. Although the wager requirement is a little higher than slots bonuses - at 50x - it is well worth it considering that every penny of wagers made on the online video poker machines goes toward the wager requirement. Just be sure to use either a credit card/gift card, eWalletXpress, UseMyWallet or Click2Pay to make your deposit...more>>

what about finding an online casino bonus that will allow you to meet the wager requirement with more advantageous casino games - you know, those games that offer a lower Casinos Edge, such as Blackjack and Video Poker. Do they even exist? Well, ctually they do. And some are better than others. That said, let's take a closer look at video poker bonuses, which quite frankly, are more rare than Blackjack bonuses...more>>

Although Disney continues to take over the world, Cryptologic's online casino software subsidiary, WagerLogic, says there is nothing to worry. Me personally, I don't know what's more surprising - the fact that Disney does indeed have aspirations to take over the world, or that Cryptologic isn't worried about losing their agreement with Marvel Entertainment...more>>

Your's truly, Sweetie, has recently come across some op-ed articles and news pieces that have got my brain really thinkin'! I know...who would have thunk it, right? Me, have a brain? Oh, that's a good one! And I'm the only one laughing. But when you hear about some of the stuff that gets published on the internet, I might just very well be a certified genius!...more>>

One type of bonus that doesn't get as much attention as the others, namely signup welcome bonuses, high roller bonuses, no-deposit bonuses and reload bonuses, is the Refer-a-Friend Bonus, which I sometimes refer to as the "Refer a Fiend Bonus" when one of my frequent typo's just so happens to leave out the "r". In many ways, this isn't that popular a casino bonus...more>>
