More controversy has befallen the Australian team since they fell just 14 runs short of defeating England in the First Test in the 2013 Ashes Series last week: sacked former coach Mickey Arthur alleged in legal documents that captain Michael Clarke called vice-captain Shane Watson a cancer. On the field, too, Australia is undergoing some sort of upheaval. The tourists have dropped Ed Cowan and Mitchell Starc from the first XI and replace them with middle-order batsman Usman Khawaja and injury-prone fast bowler Ryan Harris. England predictably stuck with their winning 13-man squad for the Second Test, although captain Alistair Cook and coach Andy Flower will need to make a last-minute decision on whether to give third seamer Steve Finn a reprieve or replace him in the starting side with backups Tim Bresnan or Graham Onions. Bresnan appears likely to get the go-ahead. Bet365 Sports has gone cricket-crazy this summer, launching a massive amount of betting options on the 2013 Ashes.

Is a convergence of Massively Multiplayer Online (MMO) games with online gambling the next big thing in the industry? It could be, if one software developer has anything to do with it. MMO Gambling Goes Beta Last Friday, MMO developer eGenesis launched Dragon's Tale, a multiplayer online game including quests, levelling, mentoring and a political system similar to that of the developer's most famous game - A Tale in the Desert. Dragon's Tale includes mini-games with everything from cow tipping (which is exactly what it sounds like), to fishing and mazes. This game is available on Windows, Linux and OSX and resembles A Tale in the Desert and other MMO games, but with one big difference - players can gamble on it with real money by using credit cards or bitcoins (virtual currency). Online Casinos and Virtual Casinos Until now, Internet users have been able to gamble through online casinos, sports betting sites, poker rooms, bingo halls and more. Virtual gamers have been able to set out on adventurous quests through the latest games. But only a few attempts have been made to combine the two. Dragon's Tale lead designer Andrew Tepper summed up the value of convergence best when he said; "I've taken what I've learned in the last 15 years building MMOs and for the first time applied that to gambling. I've created an intensely social world where players can explore the game world together, share techniques, and rely on each other as they level up by completing gambling quests." Virtual Currency for Virtual Games When playing virtual games, what better currency to use than virtual currency? Bitcoins are virtual currency that can be sent online between people and businesses. Online gambling operators are gradually opening up to the possibility of using bitcoins as payment methods. The virtual gaming world has been quicker to embrace bitcoins, which is why it's no surprise to see Dragon's Tale accept them. As with other online gambling payment methods, players can cash in and cash out their bitcoins, making it equivalent to real money. Bitcoins are generated and traded over the net according to fluctuating exchange rates (just like dollars, euros and pounds). When withdrawing at participating sites, players must use their e-signature for verification and can exchange them for real currencies.
A new draft law to regulate online gambling could be submitted to the Lithuanian parliament later this year, news sites have reported. Lithuania: State of Play Until now, there has been much debate in Lithuania over whether online gambling should be regulated. It has never been formally recognized until now, but in practice offshore operators have offered their services to Lithuanian online gamblers without restrictions. Local land-based gambling operators have been calling for the government to take action to follow the wave of reforms in the rest of Europe and regulate online gambling. As in other countries, they say that competition from unlicensed, unregulated online operators impacts their business. Online gambling advocates say that regulation and licensing are the only way to ensure fair and responsible gambling for all citizens, and serve to stamp out industry corruption. Where to Play Although online gambling remains stuck in legal limbo in Lithuania, there are many reputable websites where Lithuanians can access casino games, sports betting, poker and more in a safe, secure and responsible gambling environment. Among the leading online casinos enjoyed by Lithuanians are: William Hill Casino, All Slots Casino, bet365 and Winner Casino. All these casinos offer access to their sports betting and other platforms under the one account

Testing Time for US Online Gambling Legislation The partnerships are now to be inspected by New Jersey officials over the next few months by the application of the regulations, and there is no guarantee that they will be approved. This is a testing time for US online gambling legislation, to see if officials will pose difficulties for Atlantic City's casinos with their potential partners.

The definition of online gambling has expanded in recent years to include activities aside from just casino games and sports betting. One of the most rapidly growing trends has been toward financial betting, and in particular binary options. In this guide you will find out about the basics of binary betting. Financial Betting Explained First, it is important to understand financial betting, which generally consists of two categories: traditional Fixed Odds betting and the low-risk spread betting alternative, known as Binary Betting. Financial markets fluctuate up and down every day. Even the smallest piece of good or bad news can rip through the commodity and currency markets in an instant. If you have a genuine interest in the stock market or currency markets, you should use a qualified broker, but if you're just looking for some fun and to make a bit of cash through gambling, then you can do it with financial betting. Most online gambling operators both types of financial betting, using similar methods: they offer several (often around a dozen) different levels to bet on, ranging from smaller prices for the cautious to bigger prices for high rollers. They offer everything from 5-minute markets to those who view the small picture to hourly or daily markets for the more patient punter. What Are Binary Options, Specifically? Binary Betting is to financial betting what spread betting is to sports betting. It is designed to reduce the risk for punters by allowing for just two outcomes: win or lose. Stakes and Returns are calculated by whether you choose to buy or sell. If you buy a binary bet, you are predicting that the market level will finish above the line at the end of your selected betting period. If you are selling a binary bet, you are selecting that the market level will finish on or below the line at the end of the period. Say your binary betting dealer quotes you a price of BUY 20/SELL 18. As your stake is calculated per point, a purchase of $1/point (or currency equivalent) means your total stake is $20. If the bet wins, the market settles at 100. Your total returns are your original stake per point multiplied by 100, equaling $100. Your total profit is the difference between 100 and the price of your bet, multiplied by your original stake, equaling $80. Stakes are calculated differently when selling a binary bet. If you sell the same market $1/point at18, then your total stake is 82 (100-18) x $1/point, equaling $82. If the bet wins the market settles at 0. Your total returns, therefore are the $1/point multiplied by $100. Total profit is $18.To Go Binary?Binary options can be a fun way to "play" the market. However, players should be aware of what they are buying into. By betting on the market with binary options, you are not actually adding money to the market. If you like trading and want to influence the market, make sure you go to a qualified broker and bet directly on the stock market. Binary options are for those that are interested in finance, and want to gamble for fun.
Billionaire developer Donald Trump, a/k/a "The Don," has partnered with online gaming giant Ultimate Gaming with the intention of operating a range of real-money casino games in New Jersey. This potentially powerful online gaming partnership was made possible by the recent signing into law legalizing internet gambling in New Jersey which, under the governorship of Chris Christie, is now the third U.S. State to legalize it.It is widely predicted that there will be an internet gambling boon, creating the largest expansion of legalized gambling in the Garden State since its first casino went into operation back in 1978.Joining the Online Gaming Gold RushIvanka Trump, the daughter of Donald Trump and Executive Vice President of Development & Acquisitions at the Trump Organization, recently told Bloomberg, "Given the way online gaming is rolling out on a state-by-state basis, we really want to keep our options open."Having emerged from a bankruptcy in 2010 that left him a minority investor with no management role but in control of his name usage for online gaming, Trump and Ultimate Gaming have held talks with Atlantic City's Trump Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza hotel with the intention of operating a fully functional online gaming market.Despite this minimizing of his business role, Trump will still have a hand in what is almost certainly guaranteed to be a very lucrative deal by signing an agreement with Ultimate Gaming. Estimates are there is a $3 billion casino market in New Jersey that Trump and his partners are hoping to tap into.
