Week 11 of the NFL regular season continues tonight with a number of games beginning at 18:00 in the UK. If there are two games that are recommended to watch, they would have to be the battle for the top spot in the NFC, which is currently held by the high flying Cardinals, but both the Lions and Eagles could even up the standings with a win tonight. Kickoff is at 21:25 and neither game should be missed so get ready to change channels throughout all four quarters of the games. Detroit vs Arizona The top two defenses in the NFL meet in Arizona tonight as the Cardinals (8-1) host the Lions (7-2). The Lions have lost the last two games at the University of Phoenix stadium but hope to change that trend with a big game tonight. The biggest blow to the Cardinals team was delivered last week as their starting QB Carson Palmer fell to a season ending injury last week. Drew Stanton will get the start for the fourth time this year but faces the league's best scoring defense, which has allowed an average of only 15.8 points per game. Live betting markets The Cardinals are slight favorites tonight with bet365 sports listing them at 1.80, while the Lions are at 2.05. There are additional lines like Point Spread, Quarter markets, Game Totals and much more. Eagles vs Packers Aaron Rodgers has turned the Packers' season around after their Week 3 loss to the Lions and has led the team to five wins out of six games, including the utter domination of the Bears last week. He is playing some of the best football of his career, but faces the NFC east leaders, which are on a similar winning streak. The Eagles crushed the Panthers last week but they are on-the-road tonight against the second best team in the NFC North. The Eagles need to be on their best at Lambeau or the cheese heads will make them pay. bet365 lines The Eagles are surprisingly the underdogs tonight at 3.20, while the Packers are leading the way at 1.37. Check out the lines at bet365 Sports and this could be your opportunity to win with the underdog tonight.
Players of Moon Games are looked after in the long-term, not only from week to week. Pivotal to that strategy is the hosting of VIP scheme to reward the most loyal players. Like most VIP schemes, this one is also relatively simple in its approach. To climb through the levels, players have to keep wagering on the site’s games. Players that enrol will start off on the Cosmic level and will be challenged to rise up to Galactic and then Super Nova. Explore the Gift Shop The first major benefit of being a Moon Games VIP is that you will have the right to enter the exclusive Moon Gift Shop. Among the possible items to treat yourself with are jewellery, electronics, and cash vouchers. To acquire those items, a set amount of Stars will be required. Now, stars are the main currency of the gift shop, and there will be one awarded for every £75 deposited. Over time, these are earned gradually as opposed to in a hurry. Up to 10% Cashback Moving on from the gift shop there are yet more benefits waiting for VIPs. For instance, cashback is a really useful reward that will see players claim back bonus funds on their losses. Cosmic players will receive 3% bonuses, while Galactic will get 5% and Super Nova will receive an impressive 10%. VIP Manager Moon Games will connect players with a VIP manager for whenever they require customer service support. A specialist VIP hotline is operated from Monday to Sunday over a large span of hours. VIP Tournaments Coming Soon A new feature due to be added in the near future will be VIP tournaments. These will provide exclusive opportunities for VIPs to compete in a less crowded field for prizes. Leaderboard challenges are most likely tournaments to be arranged.

Anyone who works in the online gaming affiliate industry can be nominated for an iGB Affiliate Award. This is possible through self-nomination, nomination by a third party organization, or an individual. Changes to the iGB Affiliate Awards The iGaming Business Head of Operations Shona O’Donnell said that each year there are more than 500 people from the online gaming affiliate community that attend these awards to honour and recognize the success of the industry. O’Donnell goes on to say that this year a new award category has been added – the Best Innovation in the iGaming Industry. This award recognizes those that have been innovators in the affiliate industry. Popular categories are also returning, including Best Affiliate and Best Affiliate Manager. O’Donnell says that the iGB Affiliate Awards are one of the most popular events in the iGaming industry.

Yes, Bitcoins are still around, and being slowly but surely integrated into iGaming. We are reminded of this by the imminence of the Bitcoin4iGaming conference. Integrating Cryptocurrency and iGaming As of November 24th in London's Dexter House, the Bitcoin4iGaming conference will continue to integrate the two worlds of so-called cryptocurrency and iGaming together in the hopes of streamlining the integration of iGaming and payment processing in implementation of cryptocurrencies for digital transactions. The event features so-called “visionaries” who are so dedicated to making Bitcoin and other Altcoins the currencies of the digital age that they are donating their time. Addressing the Trust Issue The main issue regarding Bitcoins is obviously trust. Using Bitcoins requires putting in money in order to utilize the digital online currency format that Bitcoins represents, in context of iGaming for betting activities. While many may draw a comparison between Bitcoin and poker chips, the difference is that monies stay in Bitcoin form, and are withdrawable but only through a transfer procedure as opposed to a real time exchange at a chip window every time one walks in and out of an online casino. The fact is that the digital age is not equipped to handle real time transfers every time one enters and exits an online casino. The conference will certainly and primarily address the inherent distrust as well as scandals such as the well-known Mt. Gox collapse, and an unsuccessful arrangement with Silk Road as well as the arrest of several Bitcoin exchange operators. The conference will address these scandals head-on, illuminating why they happened and how and if they can be prevented in the future. In so doing, the conference will further assess actual risk levels of Bitcoin, altcoin, and other digital currencies. Expert Speakers Experts speakers will include Bitcoin Pioneer Charlie Shrem, Global Coin FX CEO Christian Papathanasiou, Sheridans Solicitor Eitan Jankelewitz, prominent indirect tax lawyer Esteban Von Goor, and Gaming Counsel PC Stuart Hoegner. In addition to the controversies, the speakers and presenters will illuminate details about other cryptocurrencies, and the relative advantages and features of each.
Having closely monitored the online casino market for ten months, we are now ready to name our best casinos for 2014. To provide a broad range of quality recommendations, we have chosen casino sites to represent ten key categories of operation. And now, here is your list… Innovation – Slotty Vegas Casino Slotty Vegas impressed us greatly this year, which is why we also awarded it the title of Best New Casino 2014. As for innovation, Slotty Vegas is a clear winner because of the Supercharged feature that is attached to its leading video slots. This generous feature sees extra winnings added to every winning spin. Slotty Vegas has been so impressive because of the site’s commitment to satisfying players. Key to that strategy has been a rewarding VIP scheme, rapid cash outs, and widespread language coverage. Mobile – BETAT, bet365, and Winner Category number two sees an incredible three-way tie between three quality mobile casinos. Starting with the newest player, BETAT Casino delivered an incredible experience by providing more than 75 mobile casino games from NetEnt and Microgaming. bet365 Casino earned a share of our mobile award because of its all-encompassing approach, covering games, poker, sports, and betting in-play. Winner Casino is another operator that impressed us greatly with its diverse approach to mobile betting. Customer Service – Tivoli Casino Tivoli Casino takes this award because of the site’s thorough approach to customer service, which is an area that no online gambling operator should ever overlook. Players can send their queries to Tivoli with either a contact form or by email. Customer service hours run from 08:00 until 22:00 (CET) from Monday to Sunday. The final factor is language support, with options for players to switch between Danish, English, Finnish, German, Norwegian, and Swedish. Game Selection – bet365 Casino, BETAT Casino The quality of the games at bet365 is highly impressive, with the online casino receiving them from Playtech. This makes the site a clear leader because players have access to the newest releases of Marvel slots plus TV/movie-themed slots like The Sopranos and King Kong. BETAT is clearly worthy of a runners-up spot behind bet365 because of its multi-developer approach that combines video slots from both Microgaming and NetEnt. Players can switch easily between from Jurassic Park or Terminator 2 to popular NetEnt slots such as Aliens or Scarface. Language Support - EUCasino and bet365 Casino Here we have another tie, with EUcasino and bet365 sharing the multilingual honours. EUcasino is worthy of its position by covering more than ten languages, some of which include French, German, Russian, and Spanish. Cementing its status as a truly global gambling operator, bet365 Casino offers an incredible 18 languages. Along with familiar European languages, coverage is given to Czech, Dutch, Polish, and Slovenian speakers – plus many others, including Asian languages. Bonuses and Promotions – Cherry Casino and EUcasino The speed at which casino sites update their bonuses and promotions is of growing interest to many players. Throughout the market, there is intense competition for providing the most competitive welcome bonus deals. However, what can often get overlooked is the quality and frequency of the regular promotions. Cherry Casino is one of the winners for this award because the site regularly switches up its promotions and launches some pretty quirky deals. The site has so far had a bubble popping contest and a scavenger hunt in 2014. EUcasino has earned a share of this award because of the daily promotions calendar that is provided to players. From races and happy hours to redeposit bonuses and VIP deals, there is no shortage of possibilities. Payment Information – EUcasino and Winner Casino EUcasino supports nine currencies from all over the world, even covering the Russian rubble and the South African rand. A vast range of payment options are provided, including the likes of Neteller, Skrill, POLi, Ukash, and paysafecard – plus many, many others. Winner Casino has earned a share of the payments award for its transparent approach in which players can see bonus deals for depositing with specific payment methods. Live Dealers – All Slots Powered by Microgaming software, All Slots features a live casino with dealers hosting tables featuring blackjack, roulette, and baccarat. However, it has to be the glamorous live Playboy dealers who steal the show. Progressive Jackpots – All Slots Adding another award in quick succession is All Slots, where one fortunate player has managed to win €1 million. Historically, All Slots has had a string of incredible player victories going back to 2006, when user Gail G won $98,753 in the space of just nine days. Overall Casino Experience – Casino Cruise and bet365 Casino Cruise has wowed us because of its sheer ambition, which is highlighted by the promise of a cruise giveaway each month. Additional perks are the daily tip, an easy-to-use menu, and the fact that all games can be accessed in fun mode. bet365 has earned a share of this award because of the operator’s continued dedication to excellence on all fronts, spanning games, mobile, sports betting, and more.
Major Swedish gaming operator Cherry Casino has recently experienced significant growth. The company was awarded "Best Online Gaming Operator" at the International Gaming Awards for 2014. A recent report shows that the fourth quarter has already opened strongly with revenues which are above the third quarter averages, signifying that 2014 will be a good year. In total, Cherry reports a 29 percent increase in revenues to SEK90.4m. Online Gaming Growth Cherry Casino's online gaming operations compose a big part of the total increase in revenue growth, representing 55 per cent of the total revenue for Cherry. In Q3, Cherry's online gaming revenues went up by 33 per cent to SEK46.6m. Significant marketing spending on Cherry Casino proved its worth with results showing a large increase in customer intake and deposits at the casino. The Role of Yggdrasil Gaming Software developer Yggdrasil Gaming which is a subsidiary of Cherry has continued to be a part of the company's success, signing not less than eight new contracts along the third quarter and nine-month interim period with at least three more operators planed to go live in Q4. Yggdrasil is on a constant expansion of its gaming arsenal, and it has added four new games in the past year: Magic Mushrooms, Pyrons, Fruitoids and Reef Run. These titles along others from Microgaming, NetEnt and Amaya are all found in Cherry Casino. In a message attached to the report, Cherry CEO Emil Sunvisson praised Yggdrasil's success and the swiftness of its rise to prominence, going from no customers at the beginning of the year to 18 agreements nowadays. Stance on Swedish Online Gambling Law Sunvisson also addressed the problematic situation of online gambling laws in Sweden, saying that change in the market is inevitable and supporting the decision to take Sweden to the European Court of Justice. "We look forward to a gaming market that is open to everyone with the utmost importance placed on transparency and responsibility. We want to end the outdated monopoly in the gaming market," a part of the message by the CEO read.
It may seem like an easy bet; the Steelers (6-4) over the Titans (2-7), but tonight's game is anything but a quick pick. The Titans are having a terrible season, which is kind of the trend with the other AFC South teams with the exception of the Colts. The Steelers are in third place in the AFC North, yet another lack-luster division, but could be a threat for the off-season with a few more wins, especially one tonight. Judging by their records alone, tonight's Monday Night Football game looks like it could, and should be a blowout, but there are a few things to remember. Two of the Steelers' losses have come at the hands of teams with the worst records in the NFL. Last week it was the 1-8 Jets that gave Pittsburgh their fourth loss, and in Week 4 they were beaten at home by the Buccaneers. This is maybe the only thread of hope that the Titans are holding on to, because even with the Steelers' dodgy win/loss record, the Titans will need to turn the juice up if they are to have any chance. Keys to Victory The Steelers are on the road tonight, which is not necessarily a bad thing for them. They have been good with away games and, really shouldn't run into any glitches on the way to victory tonight. If they do win tonight, they will be 7-4 going in to Week 12, which is the best record they will have had after eleven games, since their 2011 playoff bid. The Titans are at home tonight, which is about the only thing they have going in their favor. This team needs to regroup and figure out some serious lineup/coaching positions before next year. The Titans need to score early and hold off the Steelers strong offense. bet365 Live Bet The Titans may pull out a miracle tonight and for that, punters will cash in on the underdog outright market, which is 3.20. The Steelers are at 1.37, which is a strong outright market. There are dozens of markets available for the showdown in Tennessee including Point Spread, Quarter Bets, and everything else you'd expect from one of the most popular and trusted online sportsbooks in the world, bet365 Sports.
Much has changed in the US gaming industry over the past 12 months. Most notably, US residents living in Delaware, Nevada, and New Jersey can now access online gambling sites that possess the correct licensing. And with those new markets now up and running, there are many gambling operators trying to enter them. 888 Casino is the latest entrant, with the site now officially licensed with the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement. Access Only for NJ Residents The coverage of the 888 Casino license means that residents of New Jersey are now legally permitted to place real money wagers and claim winnings from the games they play. This is major news because only a limited selection of online casino operators has been awarded online gaming licenses. US residents living outside of New Jersey will find that they are blocked from accessing 888 Casino. Security Measures To ensure that only legally permitted US residents can access 888 Casino, a number of security measures have been implemented in keeping with licensing requirements. Legally, all US players who attempt to register with 888 Casino will be asked to submit their social security number. This will allow for the casino to verify age and identity, along with state of residence. The latest advanced encryption methods are in place to make sure that all financial transactions will be processed securely. Responsible Gambling Support One potential issue for emerging US online gambling markets is that residents have minimal prior experience with the activity. Therefore, some users might be unaware of the potential risks of online gambling. Above all else, users need to understand the importance of setting strict budgets and sticking to them rigidly. To offer support, 888 Casino allows for New Jersey players to set their own deposit limits. Furthermore, 888 Casino can enforce exclusion periods as requested by concerned players.

Following their purchase of PokerStars , the financial position of Canadian games developer Amaya Inc. has been transformed. A future bid for the bwin group is rumoured, although they may face competition with Playtech on this issue. Amaya Financial Results For both the nine- and three-month periods up to the end of September 2014, Amaya Inc. was able to report record earnings, largely on the back of the PokerStars purchase. Revenues in the third quarter of 2013 for example were CA$39 million, but by the same period of 2014, they had risen to CA$239 million, while net income has gone from CA$7 million to CA$70 million. Cash flow from operating activities rose from CA$7 million to CA$139 million, and diluted earnings per share went from 7 to 43 cents over the same periods. These figures reflect the dramatic changes that PokerStars have brought to the company. PokerStars is by far the biggest online Poker operator, and along with their Full Tilt brand, nearly 90 million players are registered with them. The sites are still growing rapidly, having recently been launched in Spain, Italy and France, while Full Tilt has expanded its' casino site. Amaya has agreed to divest itself of the Ongame B2B Poker and gaming platform service provider, selling it to the NYX Gaming Group of Sweden. Further Growth Plans? It has been confirmed that negotiations are underway for Amaya to purchase the bwin.party company, with a source saying that ''The two groups still need to discuss many important details and there are some legislative details that still need to be looked into.'' There had been industry rumours for about a month, but the news broke on Wednesday 12th November, with bwin deciding to confirm that there were undisclosed ''interested parties.'' It has been reported that games developer Playtech is also looking to buy bwin.party, fuelled by the fact that they have raised a $315 million war chest for expansion. Bwin.party shares were up some 12% on the news.
