Club World Casino is hosting a number of freeroll slot tournaments this weekend, starting on Friday May 4th, 2012. All depositing players are welcome.

There is lots of free money to be won with three big freerolls on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, along with 15 “Rapid 5′s”. The Rapid 5′s are 5 different freerolls within 5 hours on each of those nights.

If you’ve read my Club World Casino Review, you will know how much I like these tournaments. Most freeroll slot tournaments at online casinos give you the option to continue playing, but you have to pay to do so. That is NOT a free tournament and they shouldn’t be allowed to call them freerolls. What I love about these tournaments at Club World, is the fact that you only get one shot, and so does everybody else.

Winnings are not added to your account as a bonus, it is cash that you can withdraw.

The founder of Bodog, one of the largest online gambling firms, has been indicted for operating illegal gambling business in the US that involves sports betting. Calvin Ayre has also been charged with conspiring to launder money.

For the past few years, Ayre has been able to avoid US law enforcement as he continued to offer casino games and online sports betting to residents of the United States. The sports gambling site, Bodog.com, has also been seized by the government. On Feb, 22, 2012, Ayre and three other Canadians were indicted in Maryland by a federal grand jury.

The four individuals have been accused of conducting illegal betting acts and money laundering.

Many online gamblers from the United States were being paid with funds that were moved through various accounts in Europe and Canada and more than $100 million had been sent through checks and wire payments. Despite the fact that Bodog.com was registered in Canada, the indictment against Ayre is based on the movement of funds outside of the United States, and this was enough to prosecute the billionaire.

The four accused individuals are currently facing a 5 year sentence for illegal gambling as well as 20 years for laundering money. In addition, Bodog.com faces a fine that could be as much as $500,000 for the same charges. While Ayre and his three partners are not in the US at this time, a warrant for their arrest has been issued.

Ayre is not in agreement with the charges and has released a statement saying, “I see this as abuse of the US criminal justice system for the commercial gain of large US corporations. It is clear that the online gambling industry is legal under international law and in the case of these documents it is also clear that the rule of law was not allowed to slow down a rush to try to win the war of public opinion.”

The federal indictment covers business that has been conducted from June 2006 to January 2012. In addition to more than $100 million being paid to online gamblers, the Bodog site is accused of spending more than $40 million on advertising specifically targeting US players and attracting them to the site.

Since 2006, Ayre has been skirting and avoiding the laws on online gambling in the US. He was quoted in Forbes magazine, saying “Catch me if you can.” After years of taunting the US government, it all comes crashing down with this indictment and the seizing of the ever popular Bodog.com site. The investigation that eventually led to this indictment was comprised of an informant that once worked for Bodog as well as law enforcement officers working undercover, making wagers on sporting events and requesting payouts from Bodog.

If you’re looking to place a bet on Super Bowl XLVI, I suggest checking out Sports Interaction. This online sportsbook is one of the few that I have found that focuses more on North American sports than European sports. Their main focus is Canadian sports, since Americans are not allowed to place bets with them, but the NFL and Super Bowl are popular here in Canada so they have put a lot of effort into making your betting experience easy and enjoyable for the event. After the Super Bowl, feel free to check out all their other betting options. If you’re a big hockey fan like me, you’ll enjoy the many options they have for betting on hockey all over the world, including junior hockey in Canada (OHL, WHL, and QMJHL). Sports Ineraction is licensed in Canada by the Kahnawake Gaming Commission.

Here are some direct links to the special pages Sports Interaction has put together for betting on the Super Bowl:

They are also great to use for betting on the UFC, CFL, basketball, soccer, several different types of racing, and pretty much everything else you would want to bet on.

Buzzluck has recently launched a new and improved casino powered not by RTG but NuWorks software. The software looks and works very similar to the older platform, however, with new games and a new sleek look. Buzzluck was known in the industry prior to their closure for being a straightforward and honest casino and now that Club World Casino group took over it seems that it will continue to stay that way.

Buzzluck reintroduced players to their fair gaming in a whole new way and the NuWorks software definitely looks promising for other casinos and operators. The layout, the games and designs are very detailed and mimic the feel of real land based casino games, which is sure to be a hit with players all over the world. Also, the difference between the new Buzzluck and the old is they are accepting USA players which will surely be refreshing for those USA players looking for a new place to play, along with new slots.

The casino has only been available for a few weeks and is already making players happy. Message boards and casino portals are reporting fast payout times, awesome game variety and friendly customer service, which CWC is already known for. Other cool features are here as well such as a message box where the player can interact with their VIP host or the management directly through the casino.

Comp points are being offered as well and the wager to point ratio is fair and on point with the other casinos in the group. The cashier is super easy to use as well and players will feel that it is easy to use, no matter their experience with online gaming. There are plenty of reasons to give the new games a try even if it’s just for the welcome bonus alone. If you love RTG like games, Club World Casinos or just want a change in scenery; Buzzluck definitely delivers.

Even almost 8 months later, Black Friday, the huge online poker scandal that took place in April of this year, is still making headlines in the world of online poker. While Pokerstars, one of the biggest brands in the takedown, is doing quite well without USA players, Full Tilt Poker has been taken down completely.

The sweeping indictment that took place April 15th 2011 took down some of the biggest names in online poker including Pokerstars, Full Tilt, Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet. Since then other poker rooms have followed suit and took their business out of the USA marketplace.

It just got worse as time went on and we have seen more and more casinos and poker rooms removing themselves from the USA market and going all out to make sure they stay away from the watchful eye of the Department of Justice. It’s nowhere near over as far as the legislation is concerned, however, Pokerstars seem to be thriving more now than in the past.

Full Tilt Poker was not as lucky. They have completely closed down shop to all players causing speculation of money troubles and legal woes. The truth is still not completely black and white and the details are being kept private as there is some hope that another brand will purchase FT in the near future. Some of the claims against FT are quite scary but I won’t go into detail until things are proven.

Absolute Poker and UB.com, both owned and operated by the same management, are still going strong as well. It will take more than a criminal indictment to bring them down as we all have seen the brand behind the group in very compromising positions in the past and they still somehow made it in the industry without affecting their bottom line.

As far as other poker rooms, there are still a few that are accepting USA players like Luvin Poker, Cake Poker and Carbon, however; there is a final blow to the industry coming very shortly. Bodog Poker is halting all business with USA players in the next few weeks and it will be interesting to see how they do without the huge USA player base.

It all boils down to making it and survival and it seems that Full Tilt just couldn’t handle the pressure. Only time will tell just how much impact the industry will sustain due to the Black Friday events. For complete details keep checking back to TheCanadianGambler.com as updates will be added when they become available.

Personally, I don’t think it’s a huge loss. I’m not much of a poker player, but I have heard many bad things about these big online poker sites and it makes me wonder how often the games were actually fair. It seems to me that you have a better chance of a fair game by playing at smaller online poker sites.

Casino Rewards, an online gaming company which manages more casinos than any other group online has another millionaire to brag about. They have made A.D., a new player in the world of online gaming, $5.2 million dollars richer with a single spin of the progressive jackpot slot game Mega Moolah.

This is the second millionaire to win the jackpot at a Casino Rewards managed online casino, which uses Microgaming as their platform, and this recent jackpot will go down in history as the biggest jackpot win since Casino Rewards opened their virtual doors a little over a decade ago.

In 2008 there was a winner on the very same slot machine that brought home $5 million dollars after a single spin of the reels so it seems Casino Rewards has the “it” machines when it comes to making millionaires.

In total, Casino Rewards offers 16 progressive slot machines to their players; all of which are also offered at other Microgaming powered online casinos. The greatest thing about this win is how it was won – a free bonus! That’s right – the player used a free bonus they received when they registered their account. These free bonuses are offered at quite a few casinos from the brand and the fact that the player won $5,201,558.97 off of free cash it makes the win a whole lot sweeter, and to top it all off, it was only a 50 cent bet!

Casino Rewards has been a steady group in online gaming and continues to prove themselves worthy of players business. If you haven’t already, check out the 32 Casino Rewards casinos offered here and maybe you’ll spin your way into a life changing jackpot.

Club World Casinos is hosting another week of the best freeroll slot tournaments I have played. If you’ve read my Club World Casino Review, you will know how much I like these tournaments. I was even able to win the top prize at one, and I normally never come close to winning the many freerolls that I play in, but most free tournaments only give you free entry to the tournament.

Most freeroll slot tournaments at online casinos give you the option to continue playing, but you have to pay to do so. That’s NOT a free tournament and they shouldn’t be allowed to call them freerolls. What I love about these tournaments at Club World, is the fact that you only get one shot, and so does everybody else.

All you have to do to play in these tournaments is sign up and make a deposit at Club World Casino, then keep an eye on the Tournaments page to register for each one before the limited spots fill up. The last tournament of the week is a VIP event for players that have made 3 or more deposits at the casino during their lifetime at Club World.

This week of freeroll slot tournaments at Club World Casino is now held every month around the same time.

Winnings are not added to your account as a bonus, it is cash that you can withdraw.

All times are in Eastern Daylight Time, and registration for each regular tournament opens 12 hours before the start time. Registration for the VIP tournament is already open, so you can register as soon as you have made 3 deposits. Spots are limited, so make sure you register for each one as soon as you can after they open.
