Weswit, a leader in real-time date streaming solutions, and Wirex, a leader in iGaming software solutions, are working together to empower innovative live casino platforms through their Lighstreamer real-time data streaming technology. Introducing Lightstreamer Lightstreamer, the flagship product of Italian firm Weswit, is a scalable solution for pushing live data over WebSockets and other web protocols with millions of users. Fellow Italian company Wirex has already deployed Lightstreamer at its famous Maltese land casino Portomaso. The technology is set to impact the world of online casino, as Wirex offers live casino, RNG casino and sports betting platforms. The company has offices in Italy and Malta and partners with a number of major players in the online gambling industry, including Sportingbet, PKR, Pkaybet and Mybet. How Does It Work? According to Wirex CTO Alessandro Negro: "Live casino platforms must handle huge volumes of frequently updated date to keep the user interface responsive and offer players a pervasive and truly ‘live' gaming experience. The overall complexities are drastically higher compared to a standard RNG online casino." He added: "Lightstreamer simplified the overall software architecture for real-time data transfers, and allowed us to release a robust iGaming application in a short space of time, with everything working perfectly from the beginning."
As it turns out, €100,000 is the cost for running an online gambling platform in the Netherlands without a proper license as Global Stars found out the hard way recently. The Curacao Based firm that offers online bingo, online roulette and a lottery system had been offering their services in the Netherlands but with one problem; they didn't have the online gambling license needed to operate in Holland.The Netherland's Gaming Authority slapped the financial chains on Global Stars for operating illegally in the Netherlands much to the dismay of the Global Stars management. Even though a few months ago, lawmakers in the Netherlands published an online gambling legislation document that called for a much more liberalized market at the beginning of 2015, that didn't mean that online betting operators like Global Stars could opt to offer their services before the legislation was passed by the government. Not only has the legislation not been approved, the country doesn't even accept permit requests at the time so until the Dutch pass the measure, anyone trying to get away with operating under their noses will most likely receive similar fines.It may be a heavy price to pay but it has brought with it a valuable lesson for other companies in the industry. Play by the rules, play responsibly and play your cards right at all times!

Argentina head to Prague for the David Cup semi-finals Friday without their top player Juan Martin del Potro, while the Czechs have been bolstered by the appearance of both Tomas Berdych and Radek Stepanek for the the first time in the entire 2013 campaign. Together, they played all five matches in their 3-2 win over Spain in last year's final. The Czechs, who are aiming to reach their third final in five years, have come this far despite injuries to both stars. Berdych missed the 3-1 quarter final victory in Kazakhstan while Stepanek was absent from the 3-2 first round victory over Switzerland. Backups Lukas Rosol and Jiri Vesely have both been included in the Czech squad. In the other semi-final in Belgrade, Canada will be hoping to prove that they belong in the last four when they meet powerhouse Serbia. But they had better watch out: Novak Djokovic will be out to atone for Monday's US Open final, where he failed to defeat arch-rival Rafael Nadal.Bet365 Sports is offering the following Davis Cup title odds leading into Friday's semis: Serbia 8/15, Czech Republic 7/2, Argentina 9/2, Canada 20/1.

New Jersey and Delaware have both made announcements regarding online gambling launch dates, with state residents set to see the fruits of legalization in November and October respectively. New Jersey - Nov 23 The state of New Jersey has set a tentative launch date for November 23, although it remains to be seen whether any of the licensed operators will be ready by that time. According to reports, Atlantic City's Borgata Casino is closest to being ready after embarking on an aggressive online gambling hiring spree in recent weeks. New Jersey is one of three states to pass laws on online gambling. Under its new regulations, existing Atlantic City casinos may partner with online gambling companies to offer real-money Internet gambling to customers who are located within state borders.

Gareth Barry says he is fit and ready to make his Everton debut against Chelsea on Saturday despite his lack of match practice this season. The 32-year-old midfielder moved over to the Toffees at the last minute on transfer deadline day after being told he was no longer required at Manchester City. One Everton player who won't appear on Saturday is Romelu Lukaku, who is forbidden for playing against parent club Chelsea as part of his lone agreement. Lukaku, who Everton signed on loan from Chelsea for the season, told the Daily Mirror this week that he wants Everton to win on Saturday. Everton have made a so-so start to season 2013-14, drawing all of their first three games for a total of three points. Chelsea, on the other hand, have embraced their pre-season title favouritism and are sitting in second place with seven points from their three games - just two points off the pace from surprise league leaders Liverpool. William Hill Sports is offering the following pre-match betting odds: Everton, 11/5, draw 23/10, Chelsea 5/4. The headline offers are: Mirallas to score and Everton to win, for which it is paying 8/1; or Eden Hazzard to score in a Chelsea victory, 6/1. Hill customers can access advanced stats on Everton-Chelsea and other games through the sportsbook's Opta Facts page. According to the page, Chelsea have won just two of their last 10 Premier League trips to Merseyside (W2 D2 L6). And if the match ends in a draw, Everton will become just the fourth EPL team to draw their opening four to the season. As usual, Hill offer Everton-Chelsea live betting. In fact, customers can place in-play wagers on all seven Premier League matches this Saturday. Other big matches are: Manchester United v. Crystal Palace, Stoke City v. Manchester City, and Aston Villa v. Newcastle United.
