Updates to Video Poker Pages

November 29, 2010 Robert Medl

Offer valid in USD as well as EUR.

As I mentioned in a previous post, BetOnSoft online casinos are a new online casino software provider in the US market. The BetOnSoft online casinos (listed below) offer seven popular varieties of video poker including Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, Bonus Deuces Wild, Bonus Poker Deluxe, Bonus Poker, Double Bonus, Double Double Bonus, Triple Double Bonus, and Joker Poker. Futhermore, each of these video pokers is offered as single-handed, ten-handed, and fifty-handed varieties.

I’ve updated the video poker pages for Jacks or Better, Deuces Wild, Bonus Deuces Wild, Bonus Poker Deluxe, Bonus Poker, Double Bonus, Double Double Bonus, and Joker Poker to include the return tables for the BetOnSoft online casinos. As it turns out, their return tables are simply outstanding. As two examples, the return on their Bonus Poker is 99.50% and their return on their Bonus Poker Deluxe is 99.45% — both of these return percentages are highest among all online casinos for those video poker games.

Any of these video poker games can be played for as little as a penny per credit, all the way up to $5 per credit in single-handed mode, $2 per credit in ten-handed mode, and $1 per credit in fifty-handed mode.

If video poker is your game, you’ll want to take a hard look at one or more of the BetOnSoft online casinos. Start with Treasure Mile; here is a list of other BetOnSoft online casinos. Be aware that if you take advantage of the Treasure Mile 100% initial deposit bonus (use bonus code TM1000), video poker counts as only 10% toward meeting the 20 x (deposit + bonus) playthrough requirement associated with the bonus. So, if you only played video poker with your initial deposit and bonus, you essentially have to meet a 400 x deposit playthrough before you can make a withdrawal.

Offer valid in USD as well as EUR.

New Online Casino Software for US Players

November 27, 2010 Robert Medl

It’s been over a year since US players have had the opportunity to play at an online casino with new online casino software. (The last new online casino software for US players was from Top Game; before that was Rival.) Recently, however, the new BetOnSoft Platform has been released and has opened their virtual doors to players from around the world — including US players.

The BetOnSoft Platform offers 15 Classic Slots, 28 Video Slots, and Keno. Their table games include Blackjack (1, 2, 4, and 8 deck versions), 3 Card Poker, Craps, Baccarat, and both American and European Roulette. To wrap things up, they offer 28 varieties of Video Poker.

I’ve taken an initial look at one of the BetOnSoft online casinos — Treasure Mile. (Since they offer a practice mode, you can check out all the games before making a deposit.) The interface is clean and intuitive — start at the bottom and work your way up from Casino to (for example) Video Poker until a ring of available games is displayed. Pretty cool!

Here is a list of the five BetOnSoft online casinos. Only one offers free chips, while all offer an initial deposit bonus (the minimum deposit is $20).

Casino Name	Free Chips	Bonus Match	Match Maximum
Treasure Mile	50	100%	1000
Mandarin Palace	0	150%	200
Grand Eagle	0	100%	250
WizBet	0	100%	100
Lucky Creek	0	100%	250

A CGTV Online Casino for (Most) U.S. Players

November 3, 2010 Robert Medl

For those of you who have been around a while, you may recall a few years ago when there was a flood of G-FED online casinos that began opening across the world. These online casinos were available to U.S. players prior to the UIGEA of 2006. Subsequently, the G-FED online casinos closed their virtual doors to U.S. players, and the G-FED software was rebranded as CGTV Games.

Last month, iFortune777 opened its online casino. It is running the CGTV Games software, and it is open to U.S. players from 39 states (players from the following U.S. states are barred from real-money play: Hawaii, Illinois, Indiana, Louisiana, Michigan, Nevada, New Jersey, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Washington).

This is good news for all of you who have missed their unique brand of slot machines and other games. They have added quite a few new games in the past years, so you’ll want to check them out. New players are being offered $20 FREE to try their online casino (40X playthrough, $50 max withdrawal), while new depositors will receive a 100% match, up to — surprise, surprise — $777 (15x playthrough on the deposit+bonus amount).

Be aware, however, that they have very limited banking options — bank wire and Visa only. Look for them to add additional banking options going forward.

(10) South Carolina (4-1) at Kentucky (3-3)

October 16, 2010 Robert Medl

Kentucky (opened +7, currently +5) looks to be the spot play here against South Carolina, after the Gamecock’s biggest win in school history last week over then-top-ranked Alabama. While Spurrier has never lost to Kentucky, you have to think that his squad may be looking past their next opponents. Add South Carolina stinks on the road.

Another way to play this game would be to tease Kentucky with another home dog, perhaps Hawaii (opened +9.5, currently +6.5).

Use UseMyWallet to Reduce Withdrawal Costs

September 5, 2010 Robert Medl

UseMyWallet, also referred to as QuickTender, is an invitation-only e-wallet that is becoming increasingly popular with online bingo rooms, online casinos, online poker rooms, ans online sportsbooks. Payouts from online gambling sites to UseMyWallet are at no cost to you, compared to payouts via checks that can cost up to $50.

If you have more than one online gambling site where you withdraw from on a regular basis, and they support UseMyWallet, you may want to consider having all payouts into your UseMyWallet account, and then do a single payout from your UseMyWallet account. The cost for a payout from UseMyWallet to a linked bank account is $30 + what your bank charges to receive an international wire transfer (usually in the $12-$25 dollar range).

Another benefit of having a UseMyWallet account is that you can use it as a way to transfer funds from one online gambling site to another, at no cost to you. It will take a few days to complete the transfer, but if you want to transfer funds from a casino to a sportsbook, for example, UseMyWallet may be a way to do that.

To get a UseMyWallet account, the general guideline is that you need to have made $500 in deposits and withdrawals AND have an active account for 90 days or more before requesting that the online gambling site send you an invitation to open a UseMyWallet account. Doyle’s Room Poker and Casino does it this way, although the requirements to receive a UseMyWallet invitation may vary at other sites.

Online Bingo Halls — More Than Your Grandma’s Bingo

July 30, 2010 Robert Medl

You may be surprised to learn that most online bingo halls are adding slot machines, video poker, and even some table games like blackjack. This is good news for online players, since online bingo rooms have typically been flying under the radar of UIGEA enforcement. For a variety of reasons, online bingo rooms have a higher credit card deposit acceptance rate than online casinos and online poker rooms; this makes it easier for players to get into the game and have some fun.

Not only are online bingo halls adding non-bingo games, the payback on some of these games is the best you’ll find at any online property. For example, Bingo Entertainment Network sites offer a 99.54% payback on Jacks or Better video poker; you’ll not find a better payback online than this!

Here are some good picks for online bingo halls on the Bingo Entertainment Network, all of which accept players from all 50 states.
