The Barcelona Affiliate Conference held October 11-14, 2012, and organized by iGaming Business, is all wrapped up. Now that the delegates (from 65 countries in total) have recovered from a hectic but fun weekend of networking, contract-clinching and socializing, the verdict on the conference is in: the event was a great success. Ample Networking Opportunities Delegates appreciated the opportunities presented by the parallel hosting of the BAC and iGB Espana events on the same floor. This meant attendees could forge contacts with colleagues from the Spanish-speaking market and mingle with industry associates from around the world at the same time (until this year, these events have been held separately). Excitement was particularly high regarding the recent opening of the Spanish online gambling market. A Record Number of Registrations iGB were pleased to announce that more delegates registered for the Barcelona event than ever before. Of course, only affiliates got in for free, but the conference was well attended by industry-leading affiliate programs, software providers, payment system reps, marketers, publishers, SEO specialists, and webmasters too. Delegates clearly enjoyed the social side of the conference as well (particularly the free bar after 3pm each afternoon, sponsored by Ace Revenue). One attendee commented on BAC on the forums of the Gambling Portal Webmasters Association: "Excellent event. Well done to all affiliates, exhibitors, speakers and the organizing team. A cracking job by all. You set a new standard for BAC. See you all in London in Feb 2013." (foxtucker). All Eyes on London Online Casino Reports was proud to be a Premium Marketing Partner for iGB's Barcelona conference and now, just like everyone else, our focus turns to iGB's next event in the UK: the London Affiliate Conference, which kicks off on Thursday Feb. 7, 2013.
Online gambling enthusiasts have taken to calling the original Apple tablet computers "iPad casinos". Players had found in iPad a very attractive platform - with its touch-screen interface and regular Internet browser that enables them to get online. But online gamblers' needs evolve and so has iPad. Brings portability to online gambling The recently launched iPad Mini - all 7.9 inches of it - is a dream gadget for today's busy and always-on-the-go online gamblers. It's small and handy enough to carry in your pocket and connect you to your favorite online casino whenever you want a quick round your favorite game. It's also small enough to be held in just one hand; so if you want to play blackjack or bingo while sitting on a bus, standing in a bar, or waiting in the doctor's office, with the iPad Mini you CAN! Small enough to be portable, big enough for full-featured games Just a little while ago, mobile gamblers had two options - neither of which was optimal. While the original 9.7-inch iPad offered a screen big enough for a full-blown gaming experience, its size stood in the way of comfort and prevented mobile gaming from being truly mobile. On the other hand, the super-portable iPhone had too small a screen to accommodate many game interfaces optimally. With its size, the new iPad Mini represents the happy medium, providing convenience but also speed and high screen resolution. The new iPad Mini, which is available for $329, is a boon for mobile online gamblers and a significant monetizing opportunity for game developers.

Online poker profits and player numbers are on the up, suggesting that the internet poker industry is once again acquiring strength. Statics released by the specialist magazine eGaming Review show gross gaming yield in online poker has risen for the first time in two years to hit €249 million. Gross gaming yield (GGY) is the percentage of bets kept by online poker operators - namely, their profits. More people are playing poker online to: the average numbers of players in tournaments and ring games was up to 95,600. Is Asia the Source of Growth? Industry commentators are speculating that the growing popularity of online poker on the Asian continent could be the reason for the sector's first profit increase in two years. Online poker is still unregulated in the region - one advantage of which is that poker operators have more freedom to design offers and services attractive to Asian players. Potential Benefits for Poker Players Everywhere Hopefully online poker rooms will be keen to bring in these larger numbers of players and will step up their promotional battle. When poker operators compete, players benefit. We're likely to see even more tournaments, more guaranteed prize pots and more freerolls. For poker rooms already offering these benefits to players, try Bet365 Poker, 888 Poker, or William Hill Poker.
