In relatively undeveloped areas, bans on iGaming just result in quick shifts to more friendly neighbors, at the cost of the security of online gamblers in the region. Making Sense at Gaming Congress 2015 To make sense of these shifts, New speaker of the Kazakhstan Gaming Congress Ruslan Suleymanov will speak at the Gaming Congress 2015 in Kazakhstan, on August 20, 2015, to shed light on the impact of unregulated regions on small states trying to develop a regulation model that can provide income to their fledgling economies. Suleymanov is the founder and head of the most prominent betting company in Kyrgyzstan, Tennisi.kg, which lost a huge network of betting shops across the country with the new ban on sports betting. Suleymanov is also President of the Association of Kyrgyzstan betting companies and the representatives of the Kazakh branch of Tennisi.kg, so he has significant influence over immediate and future development of the betting market in the region. Controlling Bookmakers At the gaming Congress Suleymanov will discuss in further detail the topic of "Prohibition of bookmakers operation in Kyrgyzstan and its consequences." He will also provide further insight into the challenges faced by Kazakhstan as a small nation transforming its betting market and opening it up to free market competition. Another official theme to be discussed is "Linking your gaming world. Connect all aspects of the casino into a single system." Components of online casino success will be detailed further as well. Casino Technology business development manager Delcho Dobrev will provide detail about social and economic pictures of the region; political aspects; macro factors; marketing campaigns; domestic demand and level of personnel service impact on online casino success. New Frontier This event will take place in a unique venue that features the biggest players in iGaming, from managers, bookmakers, gaming equipment manufacturers, investors, and representatives of the authorities, and it definitely should not be missed!
Andy Murray is once again representing Great Britain in the Davis Cup and he has brought his nation to a level status at 1-1. The Quarter Finals are now within their reach and a win tonight against French hopeful Gilles Simon. In the previous match, Murray beat Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 7-5, 7-6 (12-10) and 6-2 at the Queen's Club. For Simon, he beat James Ward 6-4, 6-4, 6-1 in his opening match on Friday. Murray should be used to representing his country after doing it for so many years but he is always weary of his competition, "There is always extra pressure, extra nerves. The one thing about Davis Cup is, if you lose, you still have the opportunity to come back the next day and win. But the pressure of playing for your country is obviously different. I've always enjoyed it." If the British can hang on to the team event and squeeze through to the Semi Finals, they will face either Australia or Khazakstan in the event on the 18-20 of September and will have a great chance of reaching the final in November. French Captain Arnaud Clement is confident about his countries' chances of making the Semi Finals, knowing that they have won the competition nine times, but, so have the Brits. France was in the Finals last year but lost to the Swiss. If the French can hold on, they will have made the Semi Finals five times in a row. Online Davis Cup Gambling Bet365 and other online sportsbooks have zeroed in on the Davis Cup and are offering attractive markets and betting props for the Quarter Finals. Simon will have some catching up to do at 7.00 for the outright win, while Murray is a sure bet at 1.10. The market of First Set Winner could go for Simon at 4.33, but the bet is a safe one with Murray.

The leader board has seen many different names topping the list, which is proof to how close the sharp shooters have been all weekend, despite the bad weather. The scoring was unbelievable on a rather benign feeling day weather-wise. The previous 18 holes saw the Irish amateur Paul Dunne shoot a six-under-par 66 to reach -12 under. Oosthuizen the South African hopeful actually won the tournament on the old course back in 2010 shot a 67, and Day stayed in the running by shooting the same score as Oosthuizen. It will be a tough task to stay on the top heading into the final 18 with players like Jordan Spieth, Padraig Harrington, only a stroke and two strokes behind respectably.

The Gaming Authority of the Netherlands has released a study revealing the preferences of Dutch players and punters. Adaptations Illuminated The interesting results indicate adaptations needed not only for the Dutch market, but provide insight into how players think in today's market. Dutch punters are more compliant, showing a higher level of comfort if there is a clearly visible Dutch license on the operator's website as opposed to no visible license (+17.4%). This shows that the Cutch tend to trust their own operators, and do care about the legality of the sites they are playing with, an important reflection on potential global preferences as well. Dutch players also prefer a specifically Dutch license as opposed to a license from another EU country, at a rate of +4.7%. Dutch players also prefer Dutch language websites over English-language websites, at a rate of +5.1%, a clear reminder that players online may trust websites that originate in their home language. Don't Tax the Customer Dutch players also prefer when the operator pays the taxes as opposed to leaving this to the charges of the players themselves, at a rate of +5%. This seems rather low, because it seems that most people hate when they see an additional tax added to their player fees; it is a clear disruption of the experience, so look for this statistics to rise as the survey spreads to other countries. At any rate, it seems best that operators absorb the cost of taxes instead of adding any visible or unforeseen changes to the player experience. Safety First In a close question, it turns out that players prefer warnings over no warnings, at a rate of 4.3%, showing that all players prefer a sense of ethics and fair play, and are not so scared of stigmatization. This seems obvious when considering how the most graphic smoking warnings have not deterred cigarette activity much as well. The greater point is that players seem smart enough to know that warnings are no ta deterrent, as much as a means of providing resources for problem gamblers. Suffice to say, the Dutch players recognize that priority. Dutch players, like eveyrone else, want to play safely, and want others to be safe as well.
Prominent sportsbooks have been launching backend upgrades to meet the speed of in-play betting. The adrenaline behind sportsbetting, and in particular in-play betting, is turning sportsbetting into one of the most competitive and profitable markets. Combined with the rise of mobile, this has pushed more prominent sportsbooks to develop faster solutions to meet the needs of this growing area. Increased Control in a Fast Changing Market BetVictor recently launched an in-house cash out. Built by BetVictor, this in-house cash out does not rely on an outside technology to process payments. It enables the test market of UK punters to bet more quickly via their mobile devices, ahead of a wider roll-out in subsequent months in time for the much anticipated football season. In an interview with Betfair's CTO, Paul Cutter, Cutter stated that 86% of its product development was in-house, and that this in-house dedication is crucial to its future strategies. Another emerging technology adapted for increased user engagement via mobile is UK betting provider William Hill's Project Trafalgar, which was first rolled out on golf, tennis and rugby, but whose capabilities stretch far beyond sports. William Hill - Project Trafalgar The project is actually an integrated effort focusing on infrastructure to maintain product excellence and a competitive edge in iGaming. To this end, William Hill has its own public developer site and API program: WH Labs was launched this year, and demonstrates how an iGaming company is developing its own technology to meet the needs of users, instead of farming out to platform providers per se. The project provides the private for-profit William Hill with a direct conduit to the technical community to develop new ideas and increase the engagement of end users through direct collaboration between the iGaming company and back end technology developers. The project enables William Hill to release technical updates to their own software offering that much more quickly. The key innovation is that Project Trafalgar enables simultaneous release of upgrades across all platforms, instead of having to be adapted across each channel. The in-play advantage A key feature that rapid updates can support is in-play betting. This is an attractive feature which enables the provider to offer bets on the spot, depending on game conditions, and also lets punters bet on the spot regarding situations that were unknown and unforeseen at the beginning of the contest. The types of in-play options are endless—from the amount of fouls of a player, to the result of corner kick, to the amount of fouls a player has at a given point during the game—the options for in-play betting are as boundless as the creativity of the programmer, and the speed at which upgrades can be implemented. The level of engagement that this approach offers enhances the appeal and diversity of a given iGaming company's offerings in general, and adaptation across increasingly popular mobile devices can and is providing all competitors with a leg up in the iGaming market. The success of bet365 This may be the most significant reason for bet365 Sports' success, as evinced by their large take on sports betting revenues. A key strength of bet365's in-play experience is the ability of punters to get money back from winning wagers before the actual conclusion of the event. Engagement via mobile Increasing engagement via mobiles means increased volume of wagers, and the most successful iGaming companies are seeking to combine the engagement of in-play betting with the accessibility and increasing popularity of the mobile phone to expand their markets.
Roma, Man City, Bayern Munich and Inter Milan are all set to play in their respective match today and the early match start time is due to the fact they are in very different countries; two in the far east and two down under. Man City vs. Roma The first match set to kick-off is between Man City and Roma, which will begin at 11:00 GMT. This would be a great day to start the day if it weren't a work day but they are playing in Melbourne Australia, which is the reason for the early start time. The match is part of the International Champions Cup, specifically the Australian Arm of the cup and Man City still has yet to face Real Madrid in this same competition. The big news behind this match is that City's newest acquisition, local boy Raheen Sterling is fit and ready to make his debut following the massive £49 million transfer from Liverpool. Bayern vs. Inter The second match between Bayern and Inter begins at 13:00 GMT and takes place in Shanghai. Bayern Munich won the last match in China against Valencia on Saturday and look forward to the upcoming 2015/16 competitive season. Guardiola was able to successfully experiment with some new formations during that game and found something he likes using Jerome Boateng, Thomas Muller and Philipp Lahm, which led to the players combining for a pair of goals. Even without Robben and Ribery, Bayern was excellent then and will most-likely leave as the winners tonight. Online Gambling Odds bet365 Sports is offering the most interactive Euro Soccer gambling experience with live in-play markets for both of today's matches. In addition to In-play odds, bet365 is offering the Bore Draw Money Back offer in which they will refund your funds in the event of a 0-0 draw.Today's favorites are Man City at 2.30 and Bayern Munich at 1.44, while Roma 3.00 and Inter Milan 6.00, have some catching up to do in the underdog position.
