In an unprecedented move by an online casino, over 44 countries worldwide will be involved in the year’s biggest online casino marketing extravaganza.

GoldenTigerCasino.com will be releasing its highly acclaimed promotional CDs in 14 languages to Europe, Canada, South Africa and Asia in what looks to be one of the biggest online casino campaigns ever. The CDs will be one of three colors determining the prize upon signup at the popular online casino: Silver $10, Blue $500, or Gold an enormous $1,500.

Perhaps more appealing however is the chance to use this free money to hit one of Golden Tiger Casino’s enormous progressive jackpots. Earlier this year, Klaus E from Finland did just this, using a Casino Rewards promotional CD to hit an incredible $5.5 million. The CD had allegedly been sitting around gathering dust on his kitchen table for a few weeks before he decided to put it in his computer, a decision which would ultimately change his life.

Golden Tiger Casino is part of the award winning group CasinoRewards.com, that continues to make online gambling more accessible to new players with its frequent promotions and signature bonus offers. Golden Tiger Casino offers 1 hour of free game play to experience any of the 200+ online casino games, including video poker, table games, slots and card games catering to all level of player. In addition, all new players receive a bonus $40, then have 1 hour to win as much money as possible, meaning no risk to the player’s own funds. Then, upon depositing at the casino the player can receive a deposit bonus of up to $250!

Even if members of the public are not lucky enough to find a letter from Golden Tiger Casino in the post in the next few weeks, no one can doubt the allure of the existing promotions already available on the site. However, with the prospect of discovering a Golden Tiger Golden CD and the enticing rewards therein, the nation awaits the postman with baited breath.

The mammoth $5,108,000 progressive jackpot is growing every second, and is available to all players at any of the 16 award winning Casino Rewards casinos.

Vegas Red’s fun progressive slot, Beach Life, has a jackpot that has reached over $1.3 million and is still growing. Beach Life is one of 19 progressive jackpots featured on the Vegas Red website, which hosts over 100 online games in total.

Beach Life is a 20-line Video Slot machine. It contains brightly coloured images representing the beach and a fun day in the sun. It also contains Scatter symbols and a Bonus Round giving players more chances to win big prizes.

Progressive jackpots at online casinos are popular because of the large prizes that can be won. A small percentage of every bet placed on the game is added to the jackpot. When more people play a progressive game, more money is added to the common pot. Therefore the jackpot is constantly increasing until it is finally won. When a winner gets the right result, they will win the entire jackpot. Currently on Beach Life that stands at over $1.3m.

UK companies, UC group and Baker Tilly Accountants, have announced the introduction of the “Safe and Secure Internet Gambling Initiative”, in support of recent moves to regulate Internet gambling in the US.

The initiative is set to stand in opposition to the blanket prohibitive legislation in the US in the form of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act. In addition, a re-opening of the US market would see the return of significant profits to both companies.

UC Group has fought the UIGEA since its inception, and can offer technology to detect compulsive gambling as well as money laundering and underage gambling. This will support Barney Frank’s proposed bill for a legal and regulated online gambling industry.

“The Initiative is both to educate parts of the public as well as to garner grassroots support from other companies, organizations and individuals for the (Barney Frank’s) legislation,” said spokesman Jeff Sandman of Hyde Park Communications.

According to Jeffrey Oldham of Direct Impact, specialists in grassroots mobilisation, the initiative is a novel use of grassroots tactics.

An updated registration system has been introduced to the Second Life game by creators, Linden Lab. Federal interest in online gambling at Second Life casinos is making Linden Lab cautious, but the move is also related to child protection issues.

In a press release, the company stated, “It has been a basic tenet of Second Life that all Residents are legally responsible for their own activities and for complying with the laws of the local jurisdiction in which they reside.”

Two classes of user will now be created: ‘verified’ status indicates a registrant has submitted valid identification and payment to the company, “unverified” means they have not. Users can then confirm aspects of each other’s identities, such as age and jurisdiction.

“Hopefully, these features will help Residents as they conform to their own local laws.”

Second Life businesses can then screen casino customers to avoid engaging customers whose age or local legislation prohibits online gambling. The option of identity confirmation also puts the responsibility for any illegal activity back with the provider and not Linden Labs themselves.

Teen/adult segregation will also be more thorough – adults found in teen areas face total exclusion, and teens in adult areas will be ‘deported’ back to the teen grids.
