CelebrityPokerChat delivers poker tips and news from the pros to mobile phones

CelebrityPokerChat, a new text messaging service from American IDC Corporation and Smart Entertainment, allows world-renowned Poker players to be in direct contact with their fans through their cell phones.

The service is very simple to use: Say for example that a famous Poker player is playing in a tournament. Fifty thousand people are watching on TV, online or watching a pre-recorded show on television, and the Poker player asks them to sign in by sending the message POKER to the number 76278. Thirty percent of the viewers respond to the request, and within minutes, 15,000 loyal fans have opted-in to his fan club.

"What better way to be in direct contact with your fans than sending a SMARTSMS directly to their phone?" said Halldor Sanne, CEO and President of SMART. "CelebrityPokerChat is a great opportunity for a celebrity Poker pro to reach all fans, new and old, to tell them news about the next tournament, valuable tips, when and where you'll be appearing next, or just simply to say 'hello'."

Mobile Phones Featuring Online Casino Games

Phones were once used solely for the purpose of communication but today they are first and foremost used as a form of entertainment. Today, you can use cellular phones not only to make phone calls but also to play games, listen to MP3s, surf the net, and even play your favorite online casino games. The online casinos have traditionally been played on the internet but they have recently made a few lateral moves such as a foray into WebTV as well as the mobile units. The point of having a mobile unit is to be able to carry it around with you and so now that you can play online casino games on a mobile phone, you can also carry that form of entertainment around with you as well to play whenever you wish.

A recent alliance between the well known online casino, BeTheDealer and cellular programmers TBR Entertainment will allow online casino players in Japan to play all their favorite casino games on their mobile units. ArkCasino´s cellular games are part of an Asian online casino that offers secure, real money wagering using a mobile phone and it´s the first of it´s kind. There are 7.2 Million owners of the Domoco mobile phones in Japan and they have been playing the slot games on the mobile online casino since February with great success.

Shmuel Ephron, CEO of BeTheDealer Casino recently commented: “The technological advances in our cellular product will lead the way into a new realm of gaming and casino entertainment. While other software companies are developing and promising a dynamic cellular future, we have already delivered a higher quality product to an excited and enthusiastic audience.”

Hiroshi Aoyama of TBR Entertainment also commented on the situation and merger by saying: “Modern Japanese culture has always been on the cutting edge of technology, which is why we are proud to bring our outstanding product to Japan´s marketplace first. As global distribution of new cellular technologies advances, so will the world´s ability to enjoy our cellular gaming platform.”

The cellular version of the online casino BeTheDealer currently offers three variations of BTD´s 3-reel multi-line progressive jackpots slots. There are plans to include video poker and blackjack ot the roster of online casino games in the near future.

How to start online sports betting?

How to start online sports betting?


Online sports betting has been developed in big industry. Online bookmakers can save you a lot of time, since you do not need to go to local bookmaker and place a bet. Now you can place a bet at any time of day and night without leaving your room. What you should do to enjoy in online sports betting?


1. Choose realible bookmaker!


First of all you need to choose one or more realible bookmakers. Read our tutorial to see what you should look at while you are deciding which one to choose.
To use all possibilities of online sports betting, our recommendation is to choose couple of bookmakers for opening accounts with. Then you will be able to always bet at largest possible odds and at all possible events. Check a list of realible online bookmakers at our site and read reviews before you choose one. Also, you should read rules of the chosen bookmaker on their web site to see if you are OK with them and to avoid some possible problems in the future.

2. Open the account


Before you can place a bet with a bookmaker, you have to open a betting account. On the bookmaker site you should easily find link REGISTER or OPEN ACCOUNT. After clicking on it, you should provide some personal details and when registration is complete you will get your username and password combination. Bookmakers often gives you a possibility to choose this combination. Write down your username/password combination and keep that paper with you or somewhere where only you will have access to it.



3. Deposit


To place a bet you have to have some money on your account, so next step would be to deposit the money. All relevant bookmakers offer wide range of possibilities for deposit. You should be able to do it by your credit card, by check an by bank wire. Some bookmakers also accepts MoneyBookers as deposit options. Credit card deposit is the fastest way to do this, as your money will be transferred in couple of seconds, and you will be able to place a bet. Check and Bank wire option are much slower, so you will have to wait for a couple of days to place your first bet.
It is important to check for bonus after your deposit. Almost all bookmakers have some kind of bonus offer or promotional offer after your first deposit. You can check actual promotional offers at our bonus page. Your initial bonus will be probably around 20€.
Also, remember that someone will have to pay some fees on transferring the money. Some bookmakers do this by themselves, but some don't. Check this in rules of your bookmaker or at our bookmakers page.


4. Place your bets


Finally when your account is full of money you will be able to place your bets. After choosing your bookmaker, which is the process in which you should spend some time to avoid possible problems, 2 other steps should be done in a couple of minutes. Every bookmaker website is different, but you will easily understand how to place a bet at chosen bookmaker. What can be tricky is different odds types at different bookmakers (Read more about betting odds types). That is why you should take care of this when you choose bookmaker. One you choose should offer odds in format that you are familiar with. Also, be carefull while you place your first bets, cause at some bookmakers instead entering how much you want to bet, you should enter how much you want to win. That can lead to problems. So, again, read the rules of your bookmaker.


5. Customer service


Whenever you have some problem at bookmaker site, or if you have some problems with bets, or just if you do not understand something about anything in connection with your bookmaker, don't hesitate to write an e-mail to the customer service or call 1-800 number. Customer service is there for you, so let them do their job, and avoid problems that could come from some minor misunderstandings.


6. Withdraw money from betting account


If you have some luck (or knowledge) after some time you will want to withdraw some money from your account. How? The most common options for withdrawals are, as with deposits, credit card, bank check and bank transfer. Some bookmakers also work with MoneyBookers .
In choosing bookmaker process you should check withdrawal fees at your bookmaker. Don't open account with bookmakers that have large fees when you are making withdrawal. Fees varies from one to another online bookmaker, but should not be bigger then 1% of withdrawal amount. Also, be aware that you will probably not be able to withdraw with credit card more then you deposit. We did not find any bookmaker that does this transfer. All of them can just charge back your deposit amount on your credit card and rest of the withdrawal amount will transfer with bank wire. Bank wire transfer should finish in 2-3 days, while check come after more then a week (depending on your location). If you are living in some exotic country, like Eastern europe or Asia, it is possible to wait for your check for weeks. Best solution for withdrawal is certainly bank wire transfer.

Gambling on cellphones to be worth US$2 billion next year

A rapid proliferation of mobile casinos, lotteries and sports betting services should see gross revenues from mobile gambling mushroom to more than US$19.3bn by 2009, according to a new report from Juniper Research.

The report reveals that lotteries will be the largest money-spinners, with gross revenues of nearly US$7.9bn worldwide by 2009, followed by sports betting (US$6.9bn) and casino-style gaming (US$4.5bn).

According to report author Dr Windsor Holden, "Governments are generally less censorious about lotteries than other forms of gambling, with the result that mobile lotteries are likely to become established fairly quickly in a greater number of markets. Given the ubiquity of the lottery culture, it will only require a very small percentage of players to buy their tickets via the mobile handset for the resulting global revenues to run into billions of dollars".

Dr Holden added that if existing prohibitions on casinos and betting services are lifted, then overall revenues could be substantially higher.

"These forecasts are based on the premise that a number of countries -- most notably the US and China -- will remain strongly opposed to the introduction of most mobile gambling services in the short and medium term. Should this situation change, then quite clearly the figures would be revised upwards to reflect this".

Other findings from the report include:

- 2005 will see total mobile gambling revenues pass the US$2 billion mark, including more than US$800 million on sports bets By 2009, the Asia-Pacific region will contribute the largest share of total gross revenues (39%) followed by Europe (37%) and North America (15%).

- Total European gambling revenues are expected to rise from US$202 million in 2004 to more than US$7.2 billion in 2009, with European sports betting revenues up from US$110 million to US$3 billion

- Despite the regulatory constraints, 7.6 million North Americans are expected to use mobile sports betting services by 2009, with more than five million using casino-style services
