The online poker room Carbon Poker has just launched its latest promotion for July and August. This promotion is available to all its players and consists of over 25,000 prizes that are worth in excess of one million dollars.
This promotion is called the Carbon Million Promotion and it will run until the 6th September. The promotion consists of 21 tiers of individual prize levels with cash awards of between $2.50 to $20,000 being offered in each tier. There are only a limited number of prizes per tier and this means that only a set number of players will be able to win at each level.
In order to win prizes players will have to take part in the cash games at Carbon Poker and earn VIP points. The more hands that they play the more VIP points and the first person to get the most points will get the biggest cash prize. All the prizes are being awarded on the 8th September so players have plenty of time to accumulate their VIP points which will be tracked by the website’s administration and counted when the promotion ends.
Players can increase their chances of winning the bigger prizes by increasing their number of tables, hands, and tournaments. Having taken a quick look at this site before writing this post it was easy to see that the table are buzzing with excitement and all the players are racing to obtain the number of VIP points required for the next reward level before it fills up.
There are over one million dollars up for grabs and 25 different levels of VIP points so it you don’t make one level you still have 20 more to try for which is great. It really is a great promotion and I can’t wait to see how it all works out and what prizes each tier will payout when the promotion ends. I promise to keep you up to date and if you are a member of Carbon Poker maybe you can keep us updated too.
Until next time,

The Mega Moolah progressive slots jackpot has been won again and the lucky winner has bagged themselves a whopping €1.17 million. That’s an amazing jackpot from an online casino slots game.
One lucky player on Unibet.com has walked away with this huge jackpot and all I can say is I wish it were me. Unibet is powered by the gaming software provider Microgaming and the lucky winner is a 48 year old from Sweden. This is second time in a matter of weeks that the Mega Moolah jackpot has been won. A Greek player netted €6.37 million playing the very same game.
The Mega Moolah video slot games was launched in November 2006 and this online casino is a little different to other online casino jackpots in that it guarantees a single cash payout to the winner so the lucky Swedish winner now has a whopping €1.17 million to play with. I can imagine that he is putting in for his withdrawal right away. Just imagine what you could do with €1.17 million. I think I will head over to Unibet.com and start playing there too.
It really is great to see and it was this slot game that announced the biggest ever online casino win just two months earlier. The jackpot for Mega Moolah is already over €1 million and is rising daily so I think this is one online casino that really needs checking out. Who knows, you could be next.

The online casino Play United has taken great steps to improve the level of support that its players receive by launching designated homepages for 16 different European destinations so that players from these countries can access support in their own language with less hassle.
The 16 different homepages that have been launched are for players in the UK, The Netherlands, France, Belgium, Germany, Switzerland, Italy, Poland, Spain, The Czech Republic, Denmark, Romania, Sweden, Russia, Finland, and Norway. Players from these countries can now access these homepages written in their native languages to keep up to date with software updates, promotions, and support information.
I think this is a great thing and I’m sure it will be extremely popular. This is part of an overall European strategy that is being developed by Play United. Play United allow players to take part in over 100 new and classic casino games and they support multiple languages. They also have a progressive jackpot that was over two million dollars at the time of writing this post.
If you want to play at Play United you will also be happy to hear that you can play free online casino games or play for cash in any of the following currencies, American and Canadian dollars, Euros, British pounds, and South African rand. It’s not often that you see this in online casinos and I love the fact that when playing in your own currency you can see immediately how much you have won or lost without having to use a currency converter.
I think the launches of these country specific homepages are going to be a huge success for Play United and I can see their popularity stakes rising significantly too. Let’s hope some of the other international online casinos see this and start doing the same.

Online gambling is not just about online casinos and many people choose to online gambling for sports fixtures too. With less than a month to go before the new Championship soccer season in the UK the three teams that were relegated last season from the Premiership seem to be the bookies favourites for promotion when May 2nd comes around next year.
This seasons actions starts on the 8th August. Newcastle United are the bookmakers favourites at 13/10 to be promoted back to the premiership. The odds differ slightly with the other online gambling websites such as Ladbrokes.com, SkyBet.com, 888Sport.com and PaddyPower.com.
Online sports gambling is extremely popular in the UK especially when it comes to soccer and many supporters take advantage of the early odds for their favourite teams in a bid to win some excellent cash amounts at the end of the season. Sport gambling of course doesn’t just mean soccer and many people use online sports gambling to place bets on horse racing and other sports fixtures. Tennis and the Wimbledon championship is very popular during the summer months too.
If online sports gambling is your thing then you should check out the top online sports gambling websites which include Ladbrokes, SkyBet, StanJames, 888Sport, PaddyPower, BlueSq, Bet365, ToteSport, BoyleSports, and BetDaq. Here you will find the odds on all sports not just soccer.

Marks and Spencers is a leading British retail store and to celebrate their 125th anniversary they have teamed up with leading British online bingo website 888Ladies to launch a special bingo promotion. 888Ladies is offering their players the chance to win £150 worth of Marks and Spencers vouchers in their latest promotion and it seems to be causing quite a stir. This is probably due to the fact that children will be back to school soon and school uniforms are available in Marks and Spencers.
This special promotion is only open to Gold VIP members and there are five vouchers in total up for grabs. In order to win, Gold VIP members need to play online bingo games in any of the 888Ladies 75 ball bingo rooms. The top 50 players to win the most games during the promotion time will be entered into a draw where 5 lucky winners will be drawn at random to receive the Marks and Spencers vouchers.
When it comes to online gambling it seems like all the top brand names are looking to promote themselves and I can’t wait to see what retail giant jumps on the bandwagon next. So far this month we’ve seen Foxy Bingo offering tickets to Alton Towers, so what can we expect to see up for grabs next?
All these online gambling promotions really are a great marketing ploy but I wonder do they really work? Do they actually increase the number of players in the online websites or are they a waste of money? What do you think? Do these promotions make you play more online casino and online bingo games?

If you are a fan of the card game Rummy you will be delighted to hear that online casino 32Red has launched a brand new Rummy room.

They are the software company responsible for top rummy website RummyRoyal and now they also have 32RedRummy. This means that players have more choice when it comes to playing online rummy.
So what have 32RedRummy got on offer?
32Red have stated that they promise to provide their existing players with the chance to play one of the best known card games and they will also now be able to reach a brand new audience. Rummy is one of the most popular card games worldwide and its online popularity has really taken off.

There are a number of different online rummy games that you can play with the most popular being the classic gin rummy.

It’s an extra step for online casino owners and by introducing rummy they are offering their casino members even more choice and more games to play. It is not clear yet how the addition of rummy will fair out for 32Red but if the popularity of RummyRoyal is anything to go by then I’m sure it will be a huge success.
Have you ever played rummy? Do you think it’s a good edition to online casinos?

If you are on the lookout for a good online casino then you will already know that this can be a daunting experience.

I personally think that this is a great idea and I really do like the idea of being able to play all the casino games for free. This allows any player new or experienced to check out new online gambling places, learn the ropes, and build up their strategies before they deposit any money. It’s a great way to put your mind at ease too and I hope that plenty more online casinos will follow this example.
In the end the decision to play at any online casino really is a personal choice but this will be a lot easier if you can test out the casino and the games it offers first wouldn’t you agree?

Grand Vegas Casino is another online casino where you can take part in online gambling. This online casino is powered by Real Time Gaming or RTG as it is more commonly known. This is the leading U.S. facing software today. Some people are not very fond of RTG as they do not impose binding restrictions on their online casino licensees and therefore it is easier for casino operators to cheat their customers if they wanted to.
With that said, I should point out that Grand Vegas Casino is one of the select RTG casinos and they hold reputable licensing and fairness credentials. They also have an excellent reputation when it comes to doing business with their players. When I started this casino review of Grand Vegas Casino the first thing that caught my attention was their welcome bonus. They offer one of the best welcome bonuses out there.
The welcome bonus at Grand Vegas Casino is worth a total of $1,850 over five deposits. When you sign up you get a 200% deposit on your first deposit up to $100. You get 200% on your second deposit up to $200 free, 125% on your third deposit up to $250 free, 100% on your fourth deposit up to $500 free, and 100% on your fifth deposit up to $800 free.
Another excellent feature is the fact that there is only a 15X play-through on all of your bonus money and this is excellent compared to some of the other online casinos out there. The other good thing about the bonuses at Grand Vegas Casino is that there are no casino game restrictions.
The graphics used on this website are excellent and the game play is very easy to follow even for a beginner. This online casino features all the great games you would expect to see at an online casino and my advice to all new players is to read the terms and conditions before you part with any of your hard earned cash.

Ryanair boss Michael O’Leary has announced that he has plans to offer in-flight casino gaming to his Ryanair passengers in his latest attempt to try and win more passengers.
Ryanair is a European low cost airline that is based in Dublin, Ireland. Speaking with the press Michael O’Leary confirmed that he is looking to introduce online casino gambling facilities into his flights and it is hoped that this will happen in the very near future. This is an attempt by Ryanair to increase their ancillary revenues.
Ryanair are a low cost airline but their flights are subject to some pretty high charges for baggage, check in, and more so I’m not sure what passengers will make of online gambling. I’m sure they have assessed this new venture and seeing as though they already know about the online gambling scene they may just pull this off. Ryanair have been offering online gambling services in association with Jackpot Joy to their website visitors for quite some time so it obviously is lucrative if they are planning to offer it on flights too.
I guess we will just have to wait and see what happens but for now let’s just toy with the idea of being able to enjoy online gambling whilst flying. I personally think it could be great fun and it will take away from the monotony of flying too.
Until next time,
