Top Sportsbook Favours Colts Over Saints for Super Bowl XLV

Sportsbook's Free Contest Will Send One NFL Bettor to Texas for Super Bowl XLV

The final pre-season games are finishing and the NFL regular season starts this weekend. Intertops Sportsbook has posted odds favoring the Indianapolis Colts (+800) over last season’s champions the New Orleans Saints (+900) to take the coveted Vince Lombardi Trophy. To add to the fall football festivities every dollar wagered on NFL games at Intertops Sportsbook (beginning September 9th and throughout the NFL season) earns one entry in a free contest that will see one lucky player win a luxury trip to Texas to experience the excitement of Super Bowl XLV first hand.

“The Saints have the momentum of last year’s Super Bowl win”, said an Intertops spokesperson, “But the Colts were14-2 last year and they’re starting this season with a deep receiving corps and a solid running duo. And with Peyton Manning at the helm and elite pass-rushing ends Robert Mathis and Dwight Freeney strengthening their defense, the bookmakers just seem to think they’ll be the ones to go all the way this year.”

For those whose crystal ball doesn’t look quite that far into the future, Intertops is offering a weekly Free Pool Competition. Throughout the NFL regular season players that correctly predict the winners of the week’s action will get tokens worth up to $100.

“You’ve got nothing to lose,” said the Intertops spokesperson. “And who couldn’t use an extra hundred bucks in their account!?”

Intertops took the first online sports bet ever, fourteen years ago, and is still one of the most popular and trusted online sportsbooks around the world. From the beginning it’s been famous for specializing in US major league sports.

The comprehensive sportsbook offers a full range of NFL betting propositions including special group bets on which team from a group of five Contenders (Baltimore, New England, New York Jets, Atlanta, San Francisco), Pretenders (New York Giants, Pittsburgh, Miami, Houston, Philadelphia) Hopefuls (Cincinnati, Tennessee, Arizona, Washington, Denver) and Hopeless (Seattle, Carolina, Jacksonville, Kansas, Oakland) will have the most regular season wins.

The Colts (+400) are favoured over the San Diego Chargers (+500) and the New England Patriots (+600) to win the AFC Championship game. For the NFC Championship, Intertops likes New Orleans (+450) over the Dallas Cowboys (+500) and Green Bay Packers (+550).

The NFL season kicks off September 9th in New Orleans as the Saints meet the Minnesota Vikings. Super Bowl XLV will be played on February 6, 2011 pitting the champions of the AFC and the NFC against each other. The game will be held at Cowboys Stadium in Arlington, Texas. This will be only the third time it will be held in Texas.

All new customers at Intertops receive a 25% bonus on their first deposit. Beginning today and throughout the NFL season opener weekend (ending September 12th), everyone can receive another 20% deposit (up to $100). Details are on the Special Offers tab at www.Intertops.com/sportsbook.

Online Slots Player's Wife Going on Dream Vacation Thanks to Hubbie's $96,466 Progressive Jackpot Win

WinADayCasino.com had its second major jackpot winner of the summer when Glenn P. won $96,466 playing the new Leprechaun Luck slot machine last week. The winner, who’s been spinning the reels at WinADay practically since it was launched by Slotland.com, said he plans to take his wife on a dream vacation with his jackpot prize money.
“The first time I went to WinADay I thought, hmm, this is different. I’d played at a few online slots sites but I’d never seen anything like their unusual slot machines!” said Glenn P. “Then they just kept adding more new games so I just kept playing there. Who knew one day I’d hit a big jackpot like this!?”

All of the one-of-a-kind slots games at WinADayCasino.com are linked to one progressive jackpot which is why they increase in value so quickly. Although $96K is a nice win by anyone’s standards, it’s actually a little lower than the average jackpot win at WinADay which is about $150,000. The last big jackpot win was in June when a film student won over $200,000 playing the Jacks Show video poker game.

“Considering this player hit the jackpot playing Leprechaun Luck,” said WinADay manager Michael Hilary, “I hope he’s including Ireland on the big European vacation he told us he’d be taking with his winnings!”

Launched last St Patrick’s Day, Leprechaun Luck is a 5-reel, 31-payline slot machine adorned with shamrocks, rainbows and pots of gold. It features Wild and Double Wild symbols, a Cauldron bonus and an adventurous Bonus Game. Spinning five rainbows with a bet of at least $5 on the winning pay line, as Glenn P. did last week, wins the jackpot.

After adding a new European Roulette game, La Roulette, last month, WinADay now has 17 one-of-a-kind slot machines, video poker and roulette games. All games are instant-play so there’s no downloading or installation required.

This month WinADay’s Game of the Month is the Vegas Mania. Everyone that plays it is automatically entered in a draw for $500 in prize money and a chance to win a Dell Studio 15 laptop in a year-end draw.

The jackpot was reset to $30,000 after this win and has been increasing quickly since then.

Online Poker Players Turning Cents into Dollars at New Penny Auction Site

First auction winner gets $20 poker cash for only $.11

Since launching earlier this month Bidibot.com, the new poker penny auction site, has enabled online players to buy hundreds in poker cash for mere pennies. The site auctions credits of $10 to $100 or more which are frequently won for just a few cents. In Bidibot’s very first auction the winning bidder purchased a $20 poker credit redeemable at GCasino.com for only $.11.

“I think I only placed two bids to win my first auction for the bargain price of 11 cents!” said the happy auction winner K.Thornton. “It was so easy to use and I even placed my bid from my iPhone. I’m such a bad poker player so all the credit I can get is a good thing. I’ve been recommending Bidibot to my friends and they just can’t believe how much real casino cash they can get for just less than a buck.”

At Bidibot.com, players bid on auctions of poker tournament packages, poker chips and credit. They can place as many bids as they like until the auction is over. Auctions start at $0.00 with a countdown timer of approximately five minutes. Each bid in the auction is set at a fixed price of $0.01 and every time a bid is placed, thirty seconds is added to the countdown timer. When the timer hits zero, the last person to bid wins the auction item.

“We’re the eBay of poker rooms!” said John Tabatabai, CEO of Bidibot. “We started this site to make playing poker games more affordable. Spending a dime to get $50 in your poker account certainly does that!”

The one-of-a-kind site currently offers credits at participating poker rooms including Victory Poker, Betfair, PKR, InterPoker, and GCasino. Bigger prizes and potentially bigger bargains are coming soon. Partnering with GCasino, Bidibot has secured a wide variety of seats and travel packages for the popular Grosvenor UK Poker Tour.

Beginning in September, Bidibot will auction tournament entries from £100 side events up to the £2,500 Grand Final. If the experience on the site to date is any indication those could go for a song.

Bidibot will present a Live Auction Tent at Poker in the Park in London later this month where visitors will have a chance to win one of 5 iPads.

Prepaid Mastercard Card Makes Transactions Easier at Playtech-powered Casinos

Software integration gives Playtech licensees access to quick and easy prepaid card payments, with no integration or setup requirements

Prepaid MasterCard cards from Intercash, are now making deposits and withdrawals quicker and easier at prominent online casinos at Playtech. Integration of the Intercash card in the Playtech software means that operators require no special integration or setup to begin offering players prepaid MasterCard cards as a convenient, reliable payment option.

Using the Intercash prepaid platform, players’ winnings are deposited directly onto their card, which can then be used at any of the 29 million ATMs or points-of-sale (POS) on the MasterCard network, or to deposit them back to any of their online casino accounts.

Initially, 18 Playtech powered casinos of the Fastengine group will offer the new Intercash prepaid MasterCard® card as a deposit/withdrawal option. These casinos include Titan, Europa, Tropez and Vegas Red. Affiliates of these casinos and poker rooms will also have the option of receiving their commission payments on an Intercash card.

“We’re very proud to be launching our new MasterCard card program on the Playtech software through Fastengine, one of Playtech’s largest groups of sites,” said Intercash CEO Patrick Seguev. “The venture between our companies marks a significant step into what is becoming an industry standard, with many online gaming software providers and operators integrating our safe, efficient, and smart payment solutions as a standard part of their software package.”

The PrepaidGate™, Intercash’s web-based reporting and management system, enables online casino operators to easily perform transactions, enquiries and monitor results in real-time.

Intercash’s “Pays 2 Ways” feature enables instant authorization on deposits and withdrawals to and from casino sites. Like an e-wallet, with the “Pays More Ways™” feature, cardholders can withdraw funds to their Intercash card from any participating Intercash site.

“By giving their players and affiliates instant access to their winnings and earnings on a secure chip-and-PIN MasterCard card, gaming companies will not only reduce their costs in terms of cheque payouts and bank transfer fees,” continued Patrick Seguev of Intercash. “They’ll also increase customer satisfaction, comfort and loyalty.”

New European Roulette Gives More Bang for Le Buck With Low Betting Option

New La Roulette European Roulette at WinADay Gives Players an Edge

WinADayCasino’s new five-wheel roulette game, Roulette 5, has been so popular since it launched in April that the popular slots and video poker site has added another new Roulette game to its online casino games room. The new La Roulette has a “low bet” option that can give players more bang for le buck.

La Roulette is like Roulette 5 but since it is played by European Roulette rules, there is no double-zero like in American Roulette. Having only one zero gives a slight edge to players since each spin has a 1 in 37 chance of landing on any one number rather than 1 in 38.

With La Roulette’s new low betting option, players can place bets as low as $.10. On any spin, they can bet on one, two, three, four or all five wheels.



Until recently WinADayCasino.com offered only slots and video poker games. Since adding Roulette and Keno the online casino has noticed that its players sometimes like a change of pace.

“There’s no doubt that our players’ favourite games are slot machines like Vegas Mania, Slot-o-matic and the new Tropical Treat,” said WinADayCasino.com manager Michael Hilary, “but even players that usually stick with just one or two favourite slot machines seem to like taking a break from slots to play some Roulette or Keno once in awhile.”

To encourage players to try the new La Roulette, WinADayCasino is making two special offers. All players that play 10 or more rounds on La Roulette between August 19th and 25th will be automatically entered in a free bonus draw. Five randomly chosen players will each receive a $200 bonus and another five will each receive $100.

WinADayCasino.com wants to know what players think about the new game and is asking them to send their feedback on La Roulette to support@winadaycasino.com. The best five testimonials will also each receive $75 in their account.

This month WinADayCasino’s Game of the Month is the Vegas Mania slot machine. Everyone that plays it is automatically entered in a monthly draw for $500 in prize money and a chance to win a Dell Studio 15 laptop in a year-end draw.

Model, Astrophysicist and Poker Champ Liv Boeree to Cut the Opening Ribbon at Poker in the Park

EPT’s most glamourous champion to kick off world’s biggest poker festival

Model and poker champion Liv Boeree will cut the ribbon at the opening ceremony of Poker in the Park on 2nd September, 2010. Liv will declare the world’s biggest poker fair officially open at 4pm on Thursday, so for early birds there’ll be plenty of opportunities for photos and autographs.

Liv rocked the poker world last May when she won the EPT San Remo Main Event for a cool £1 million. A woman of many parts, as well as a model and TV presenter, Liv is also an astrophysics graduate and heavy metal guitarist. Her career live tournament cashes currently exceed £1,930,000.

In its fourth year, Poker in the Park expects to attract 20,000 poker fans over two days, and will fill London’s Leicester Square with sit-n-go poker tournaments running around the clock, lectures from big name pros, tuition tents, stalls selling the latest poker merchandise and much much more.
