Tropezia Palace has opened up their gates to the Swedish players with the recent introduction of the new Swedish casino room, the first in a wave of new Scandinavian casinos. Of course, if this was a matter of simple translation, almost any online casino could Google Translate their site and claim to accept Swedish players. Here at OCR, we have a stricter notion of what it means to be a Swedish-friendly casino, and have tested the full functionality. In short, Tropezia Palace provides: Live chat with native Swedish support from 10 am to midnight every day. Email response in Swedish from customer service Deposits available in Swedish krona. Fully navigational Swedish site, including lobby, emails, game explanations, and terms and conditions. So whilst the games themselves continue to have an anglo-flavor to them, as expected, the site itself provides a local environment, which Swedish players will be happy to keep on playing and feel comfortable with every step of the casino experience. With a wide range of games from BetSoft, Tropezia Palace provides Scandinavian players with a large range of beautifully designed 3D and 2D games and impressive progressive jackpots. Sweden is the first step into the Scandinavian market for this casino with, we are told, a launch soon in the Finnish and the Norwegian market.

What we look for can be divided into three broad categories: Objective factors, such as regulating authority, gaming license software platform, bonus, and payout percentage; Commitment, including new game releases and efficient customer service; and Experience, namely the casino's track record with players and marketing affiliates. Other features we look for To get an understanding of what features we look for in a casino, let us use the example of InterCasino, which was selected as OCR's best casino for January 2013.

The brains behind William Hill Online's Cash In My Bet promo knew what they were doing when they launched the Cash in my Bet promo last year, but didn't realize how much cash it would earn punters. Records broken Last weekend saw Hill pass the £2 million mark in cashed in bets since it launched the promo in mid-December. Although the FA Cup third round threw out a number of surprise results, many punters had the foresight to cash out their bets early, forcing the bookie to pay out nearly £450,000 over two days. From a sports betting perspective, the Cash In My Bet promo was launched during the busiest period in the annual football calendar, when punters can place on a variety of games across the English Premier League, FA Cup, Spanish La Liga and other leagues. How Cash in my Bet Works Say you place $/£5 on a multiplier on this week's Premier League matches of Arsenal to beat Chelsea (10/3), Tottenham to beat Man Utd (15/8), and Southampton to beat Everton (12/5). The first two games kick off Sunday, and Spurs and Gunners win. You hesitate about Southampton on Monday, and cash in your bet for $/£31. When you think about cashing in just go to the "Open Bets" tab and details of your best will appear. As each leg of your accumulator wins, your cash in value will increase. If the "Cash In" facility is active on the market/game you bet on, then all you need to do is click it to take your early winnings.

In addition, there are a number of other special features including a bonus round which is triggered by the appearance of three or more Unicorn symbols in a row on an active payline. This round activated a bonus wheel which players must spin to receive an extra prize.

These include William Hill Casino, Winner Casino, Betfair Casino and bet365 Casino.

The regulated French online gambling market is continuing to grow, according to figures released earlier this week by ARJEL, the regulatory authority for online casino, poker and sports betting. To find more about online gambling in France, in French, visit Online Casino Reports France. Yearly gambling growth The entire market generated stakes of €9.4 billion in 2012, a one percent increase on the previous year. This growth took place despite the fact that customer deposits actually fell 3% last year and that there were 13 fewer gambling firms operating actively in the market.Sports betting was the main contributor to French online gambling growth. Thanks to major sporting events like Euro 2012 (which France bombed out of in a quarter-final loss to Spain) and the 2012 London Olympics (France placed seventh on the medal tally), online betting stakes grew 19% to €705m. Current state of play There is still room for more growth, given that the French government and gambling authority are yet to issue all the licenses that they could. Some of the measures taken by France against online gambling providers operating without licenses are believed to violate European law. Having said that, France at least took the step at the beginning of 2012 of initiating a series of reform that enable access to online gambling, betting and poker sites that are licensed by the national gambling authority ARJEL. One has to start somewhere, and French gamblers certainly have better access than residents of some neighboring European countries.
