ONLINE CASINO HACKERS PUNISHED 2021-05-18
UK teenagers were lucky to escape jail
Brighton, UK residents Zachary Woodham (19) and Louis Tobenhouse (18) narrowly escaped jail this week, but have to do some hefty community service, after pleading guilty to hacking into online gambling and hosting websites and stealing credit card details which they subsequently sold on a 'black' hacker site.
Woodham received a one-year suspended prison sentence and 240 hours of unpaid work for having performed an unauthorized modification to a computer, and to a six-months suspended prison sentence and 120 hours of unpaid work for encouraging crime, with both sentences to run concurrently.
Tobenhouse was handed down two sentences of 200 hours of unpaid work and a 12 month community service for encouraging crime and possession of articles for fraud.
The court heard from investigators of the Metropolitcan Police's Central e-Crime Unit how the two were apprehended by police late last year following an investigation that began when Woodham, who called himself "Colonel Root" hacked a hosting site, taunting the staff with their inability to stop him and motivating them to report the incident to the police.
Subsequent investigations led police to Woodham's home, where a search revealed his criminal association with Tobenhaus and evidence of their repeated attacks on internet gambling and web hosting sites. Thousands of credit card numbers and details were apparently involved.
Both hackers were found to have been active on a now defunct site frequented by hackers, offering their advice and posting tutorials on how to gain unauthorised access to websites and commit theft and other crimes.
Stuart Hosking, an investigator with the e-Crime Unit, said: "Woodham and Tobenhouse chose to abuse their computer skills, causing a considerable amount of financial loss and anxiety to a number of innocent people.
"Woodham in particular has shown himself to be a vindictive hacker with no sign of remorse towards any of his victims."
In March this year the hacker forum was shut down after four members, including the site's founder, were arrested on criminal charges.
WINADAYCASINO JACKPOT HIT 2021-05-11
Vegas Mania slot pays out
A senior citizen using the pseudonym "Gold1968" has won $167 648 playing the five-reel, 21 payline Vegas Mania slot at WinADayCasino.com.
“I’ve often imagined what it must feel like to win a big jackpot and now I know. “I will retire in a couple of years so this extra money is most welcome. I must make sure that I don't spend it all but I am planning to buy something for myself and my husband and the kids. I get the shivers whenever I realise I really did win. It’s such a nice feeling. I will always remember seeing the five horseshoes hit on one payline and the realisation that I’d hit the jackpot,” said "Gold1968".
Vegas Mania is one of 24 proprietary games offered by the online casino soon to be joined by "Fruitful 7s", a new pub-style fruit machine game featuring "good old cherries, lemons and bars".
ONLINE 'MINI CASINOS' RAIDED IN MALAYSIA 2021-03-30
Police raids shut down five internet gambling venues
Malaysian police in Kuala Lumpur report that five internet 'mini casinos’ in the suburbs have been raided and shut down following complaints from neighbouring businesses.
Five people, aged 20 to 35, working at the casinos were detained, and a total of 65 computers were seized, a spokesman revealed.
Neighbouring business owners said that the gaming outlets operated almost round-the-clock and that patrons were noisy, aggressive and disruptive.
Senior police official Azman Mohd Isa said police observed the casinos for about a week before embarking on the raids, which involved both undercover operations and overt police action.
"One of the outlet's online jackpot games had bets totalling RM200,000," said Azman, adding the operators were shocked when police flashed their identification cards.
"If the operators had suspected our presence, they would have switched their online games server to another server to hide their gambling sites and doing that would only take a few seconds," he said regarding the undercover element in the operation.
Six customers were also detained for questioning, and RM2,131 in bets was also confiscated, he said, adding that all five premises were equipped with closed-circuit television cameras
NEW M&R STUDY ON INTERNET CASINOS 2022-03-17
Irish research company takes a close look at the global online casino sector The Dublin-based research company Research and Markets has released a new study of the online casino sector, examining the main issues surrounding this dynamic and growing element in the global gambling industry.
"The Global Business of Online Casino - Outlook, Forecasts and Analysis" notes that online casinos were among the first internet gaming sites to appear on the Web when they launched in the mid-1990s thanks to the pioneering efforts of software companies such as Microgaming and CryptoLogic. Online poker followed in 1998 and by 2004 the online gambling market was estimated as having revenues of approximately $8 billion. The study found that during the course of the past decade, the online casino market has grown out of all recognition, maintaining its position as the leading online gaming genre. The study quotes from the Casino City directory, noting that there were 774 online casinos listed when the report went to press, comprising 33 percent of the market for online games in terms of numbers of sites, compared with 34 percent two years previously. Poker makes up 22 percent of the market (28 percent in 2008) followed by sportsbooks at 18 percent (unchanged from 2008) and bingo at 16 percent (14 percent in 2008). R&M points out that the sector is becoming more socially acceptable, benefiting from a liberalised regulatory structure in some markets, and enjoying very substantial growth across many key demographics, including those that have been hard to reach through other types of gaming or betting such as women. In recent years, online casino companies have embraced the capabilities of the internet, whether in terms of advanced technologies, techniques for attracting new players, developing highly liquid playing networks, or delivering ever more feature-rich games and enhanced player experience. The M&R study examines the main issues surrounding the growing online casino industry including game and market overviews; areas of opportunity; factors affecting growth in the industry; marketing strategies of online casino companies, regulatory issues and demographics of players. It provides case studies of the major online casino software companies and operators and analyses these to determine business models and revenue streams as well as who the industry winners and losers afre likely to be. The report covers: • Business Models and Platforms • Customer Acquisition and Retention • Regulation and Online Casinos • Card-based Casino Games • Dice-based Casino Games • Wheel-based Casino Games • Slots-based Casino Games • Video-based Casino Games • Virtual Reality-based Casino Games • Case Studies • Outlook and Forecasts and looks at leading industry companies such as: • Chartwell Technologies • CryptoLogic • Microgaming • Playtech • 888 Holdings • Bodog • PartyGaming • William Hill
FINDING THE BEST ONLINE CASINO 2021-02-08
There are a number of online casinos available at the click of a button. The online casinos are sometimes fake also and such casinos are known as rogue casinos. The number of rogue casinos is more than the genuine ones. Therefore, all the gamblers or players should judge the online casinos to find the best online casino available. A good online casino makes the game very entertaining and keeps your winnings and money secure. Some important points should be considered while choosing a best online casino.
The first thing to keep in mind is the reputation of the website or the casino. A casino will have a solid reputation if it has a large number of gamblers registered on its site. If so many players trust a site, it is bound to be genuine and reputed one. A player can then play with their money without worrying about its security. The potential players can join the online communities as well, to talk to various players, learn about various casinos, and make the use of their guidance and expertise. Players on such online communities, talk about all sorts of problems and issues regarding the various casinos, which are useful to the beginners. The topics used for searching are filtered that facilitate providing the results about those casinos that are ranked quite high. The casinos, which have been ranked high by the online gamblers and are equipped with a good set-up to take care of customer complaints that settle any problems faced by the players, can be called a good casino.
Another way to judge a casino is to check out the availability of banking transactions on the site. A site is considered useless, if, it does not provide an easy and a convenient method to deposit or withdraw the money. However, the majority of the casinos offer the provision of using credit cards, but the cards operation cannot always be problem-free. The casino should be properly checked, whether they provide you with the option of your credit cards or not. After proper analyzing this feature, the money should be deposited. This is because, sometimes the money is needed in urgency and if the casino’s banking methods create a problem, then it will get difficult to withdraw the money.
Another selecting factor to be considered is the availability of a good customer support. Sometimes a player experiences a problem, and the site is unable to solve it. These kinds of issues are very common amongst money related games. For that matter, it is very important for the online casinos to be equipped with a good customer support service. Before trusting a site, a player must create a free account and try to chat with the support team, check their behavior and response towards him. The way they will handle your query and problems will let you know about how good and efficient their customer service is.
Last but not the least, the factor to be considered is the percentage of the payouts. The payouts percentage means amount of percentage of a particular bet the players will get as winnings. The higher the percentage of the payouts, the more money will be paid back in the form of a prize to the players. The players should always play with those casinos that offer a higher amount as payouts. This gives a brighter chance to the player’s win.
There are many sites that claim to rank the best casinos but their rankings are not always correct. These sites tend to ignore many factors; therefore, relying on their rankings can be bad for the players. For example, if you are a citizen of the United States of America, and see a common list of the best casinos and consider joining one of them. However, the casino might not accept American citizens. This factor will not be shown in the rankings list. Therefore, the lists can sometimes fool a player. The best online casino should be chosen based on individual factors.
