The Czech Republic recently issued a statement to clarify that the two Boston bombers are of Chechnyan - and not Czech - origin, after anti-Czech rhetoric hit social media. Thankfully, we have reason to bring you real news from the Czech Republic, and this time it's positive. Online gambling reforms The government of the Czech Republic has asked its ministers to come up with new online gambling reforms, it was reported this week, and this time it is looking to satisfy the European Union's standards for member countries. Last year, the European Commission rejected a Czech proposal, replying that it failed to provide a plan to increase competition, improve technology and ensure safe gambling. The existing legislation is considered outdated, as it restricts offshore operators from providing their services in the Czech Republic. Which model? Given the wave of online gambling reforms across Europe, the Czechs have a lot of examples they can look to. Spain, Italy, Belgium and Denmark are a few of the countries that have completely liberalized their egaming regimes in the past couple of years, while France and Germany have also made headway. Last year, the Netherlands indicated that it would adopt the "Danish model", rejecting the "Belgian model," which it believed might not be strong enough to meet EU standards. Denmark ended the state monopoly on gaming when it implemented its new regulations in 2012, charging foreign operators a flat 20 percent fee on gross revenue. for more news on online gambling in the Czech republic, visit Online Casino Reports Czech.

The UEFA Champions League 2012-13 finalists have been decided, and for the first time in the competition's history it will feature rivals from the German Bundesliga - Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Finals preview Four-time European champion Bayern finished second to Borussia in both the German league and cup competitions last year. However, the Bavarians rightly start narrow favorites to win this clash after it sealed this year's Bundesliga with a record six games left and backed it up by putting seven goals past Barcelona in the two-leg Champs League semi-final. Borussia, who won their only previous Champions League final in 1997, are also in a rich vein of form, having sealed their semi-final against Real Madrid with a 4-1 first-leg home win. They too will be confident of succeeding when they meet their arch-rivals at Wembley on May 25. William Hill oddsWilliam Hill Sports, one of the world's leading online sportsbooks, have released their title and 90-minute match odds ahead of the big game: Title - Bayern Munich, 2/5, Borussia Dortmund, 7/4; Match - Bayern, 8/11, Draw, 12/5, Borussia, 3/1. There are still three weeks to go, but Hill is expected to release dozens of odds on the big final in the coming days. These should include more match odds, goal odds, and individual player specials. Look out for the return of a host of promotions in the lead-up to Europe's biggest soccer event.
Many of the USA's leading commercial gaming companies have been busy participating in community service activities organized by the American Gaming Association, as part of National Volunteer Week this week. Gaming companies set example Year after year, gaming companies demonstrate their commitment to corporate social responsibility, AGA president Frank J. Fahrenkopf said as part of a statement launching this year's All In for Giving and Volunteering campaign. To understand what he is talking about, here are just a few of the activities conducted this week: MGM employees in Las Vegas have been planting trees and cleaning up at the Desert Wildlife Refuge; WMS Gaming employees have been donating with children's charities in four states; IGT employees have been conducting a number of activities, including assisting the Salvation Army with Hurricane Sandy relief. One may not always think of gaming companies in this light, but the examples shown above are just the tip of the iceberg in a movement that shows the close links between casino operators, software firms and philanthropy. Research reveals commitment Giving is not just limited to special events. This week the AGA also released a report called "A Commitment to Philanthropy", which shows that volunteering and charitable contributions are a central part of the gaming entertainment industry. According to the report, gaming companies contributed $135.78 million to charitable causes in the past year, $116.93 million of which came as direct cash contributions. Overall, 36,525 gaming industry employees participated in 1,670 volunteer events in the past 12 months, contributing 298,484 volunteer hours to non-profits and charities.
