Just one team separates Barcelona from yet another appearance in the final of the Copa del Rey. After beating Atletico Madrid in the quarter-finals, Barcelona have a chance to move on but face Valencia, coached by former Man. U legend Gary Neville. The first leg of the Semi-Final will be at Camp Nou and Barcelona will be keen on scoring multiple goals to go on to the second leg at Mestalla Stadium next week. Aside from longtime injured player, Rafinha, Barca coach Luis Enrique has a full squad at his disposal. Valencia have a couple of new names after Neville made some moves during the winter transfer window. Both Guilherme Siqueira and Denis Cheryshev are included in the 21-man roster. Neville is still without striker Paco Alcacer and midfielders Javi Fuego and Enzo Perez still out with injuries. Barcelona has gone 26 matches without a loss in all competitions and in its last six games at Camp Nou, Barca has scored 23 goals and conceded just 3. Valencia brought in Neville in December and since then, they have yet to win a match in La Liga and are coming off a disappointing loss to Sporting Gijon. Neville has won all four of the Spanish Cup competition, proving that he can win when it's needed most. The teams have met six times in the Semi-Finals and each time that Barcelona has beaten Valencia to move into the Finals, they have gone on to winning the competition.

Casino offers are one of the best methods of attracting new players to sign up for service and to preserve business from longtime members. Offers can come in many different forms but few are as highly acclaimed as Cashback offers. If you have never tried a Cashback offer, find out all you'll need to know in this special report. Get your Cash Back Cashback Bonuses refer to a number of special casino offers, which will ultimately put a portion of your losses back into your account. These offers are offered either against specific amounts that a player has wagered at an online casino, or more commonly against losses that players have incurred by playing casino games. Daily, Weekly and Monthly Cashback Offers Different casinos have different cashback deals. Most brands tend to offer either daily, weekly or monthly cashback bonuses. These offers have set rules as to when a player can get cashback on losses and they are very attractive, as no one likes to lose. At Slotty Vegas, a very popular cashback deal is their Daily Cashback bonus in which players can receive 10% of their losses back up to $1,500 every day. This is one of the largest cashback offers in the industry and it is a great incentive for players to continue gambling without worry of losing all of their cash. Casinos like Rich Casino have a very special weekly cashback offer, which will return 40% of losses each week up to a maximum of $400 a week. Prospect Hall Casino offers a bit less cashback at 10% weekly up to £100, but it is still a great bonus and a great way to continue ones online gambling campaign. Continuity is what make these offers great, because the deals are ongoing and players can decide how much and how often to use them. The casinos above offer actual cash on percentages of losses, while another cashback offers give players bonus funds instead of real money. Bonus funds are usually free bets that can be made at virtually all of the casinos games, but the outcome is the same. Either way you will get to continue playing with the possibility of winning lucrative cash at the end of the day. Cashback Conditions The conditions that casinos offer cashback can also vary. Some do not force wagering requirements, while others insist that players must satisfy the casinos set of conditions before one can withdraw the potential winnings. Perhaps the terms are that a player will need to wager X amount of money before withdrawing the cashback bonus. Cashback on Minimum Deposits Another type of cashback offered at some online casinos will give players a return if they deposit a certain amount. Let's say the casino will give players 10% cashback if they deposit $100. That means that when the $100 is all used up, the casino will automatically reimburse ones account with $10 in real or bonus cash. Most players like unlimited cashback offers, as limiting ones options doesn't always make the deal as attractive. Be sure to check back to see the full list of cashback offers and the casinos that offer the best deals. Slotty Vegas, Rich Casino and Prospect Hall Casino each have great cashback offers, but there are literally thousands of additional specials so it would be good to do a bit of research before committing.
The OCR Seal of Approval is an initiative that continues to identify and verify the world’s best casino sites. From February 2016, Intertops Casino is the latest online casino to measure up to OCR’s robust standards. OCR readers now have another safe and secure casino site to experience igaming content. A Storied History Intertops Casino that has proven its pedigree year after year since launching way back in 1996. Since then, most of the other sites to join the industry have closed in the face of intense competition. However, Intertops Casino has managed to develop a loyal fan base of players who keep coming back. And why do they keep coming back? Well, Intertops Casino is a safe site where players’ deposits and withdrawals are protected by secure SSL technology. Additionally, Intertops Casino has a Prompt Payouts guarantee to ensure that players are not left waiting to claim their winnings. Intertops Casino’s possession of a Kahnawake Gaming Commission licence means that the site is in a position to accept players from almost every country in the world. Crucially, though, this is one of the few online casinos that accepts US players. Realtime Gaming Software Many of the world’s casino sites share similar gaming software. Well, Intertops Casino has managed to attain the OCR Seal of Approval by using a less familiar software provider that can deliver players a fresh and fair experience. This comes courtesy of current software provider Realtime Gaming (RTG). Intertops Casino can let players experience the games through the downloadable software platform or else instantly via their web browsers. Either way, players will have a wide range of table games, progressive jackpots, video slots, and more. Some of the best RTG slots from recent years have included titles like Caesar’s Empire, Cleopatra’s Gold, T-Rex, Golden Lotus, Aladdin’s Wishes, Derby Dollars, and Naughty of Nice. Love Pyramid Offer for Valentine's Day To celebrate Valentine's Day, throughout February 2016, Intertops Casino will take players back in time to the days of Cleopatra in the frame of its "Love Pyramid" offer - over $120,000 in cash; $30,000 will be given away every week. Players will earn points playing RTG titles at Intertops Casino, and those in the list of top 300 will enjoy rewards of up to $500 based on their reward points. The top twenty players every week will get a chance to cash in on $1,000. Offers like this are a good example of Intertops' commitment to players and the casino's originality.
Net Entertainment’s lineup of slot machines is on a constant expansion and some great titles were announced for the first quarter of 2016. Rock fans were anxiously waiting for the highly anticipated Guns N' Roses slot which is now available across NetEnt casinos. Many casinos run special promotions dedicated to this release, send lucky players to concerts and all-paid vacations. Apparently, this is just the tip of the iceberg because the software developer announced in ICE 2016 that it will release a couple of more rock themed slot machines over the next few months. Jimmy Hendrix Slot Comes to NetEnt Casinos The hype surrounding Guns N' Roses slots was fully justified and the game will spend many weeks in the spotlight. The good news is that the Jimmy Hendrix slot is slated for a 21 April release and the game will be available at NetEnt casinos like Vegas Spins Casino, 10bet Casino and Moon Games Casino. The slot machine does justice to one of the most influential and creative musicians of all time, by introducing new technologies. The software developer promised to come up with a game that will be a fitting homage to Jimmy Hendrix. Players will enjoy the fancy 3-D graphics and get immersed into the gaming atmosphere with five of his most famous songs. Motorhead Slot to Hit Casinos in September Guns N' Roses was one of the most successful launches in Net Entertainment history and the slot machine dedicated to Jimmy Hendrix promises to be just as exciting. The good news is that the software developer will continue to surprise rock music fans, with a Motorhead slot. The slot machine is planned for 22 September, which should give players plenty of time to make the most of Guns N' Roses and Jimmy Hendrix slots. It is a fitting conclusion for this short series of slot machines dedicated to rock music fans, since the band's late bassist and main man Lemmy was a roadie for Hendrix in his younger days.
This has not been a good regular season for neither the Edmonton Oilers, nor the Ottawa Senators. Both teams have struggled to win games consistently leaving the Sens in fifth place in the Eastern Atlantic, while the Oilers have not been able to get out of last place in the Western Pacific. There is a glimmer of hope for Edmonton, as on Tuesday night they got their star rookie back, Connor McDavid who went on to score quite possible the highlight reel goal of the season in his first game back after a fractured clavicle kept him sidelined for three months, and two assists. McDavid is one of the best in the league and he could give the Oilers the boost that they need desperately. The Senators swept the Oilers in last season's series, with Milan Michalek and Mike Hoffman each putting in three goals. The Senators have a few injuries, but nothing too serious and they should be close to 100% tonight. The Sens have lost four of their last five including last game on Tuesday night against the Pittsburgh Penguins. NHL Online Betting The NHL is one of the most heavily bet leagues in the world and punters have a ton of games to choose from to make lucrative cash. Bet365 leads all online sportsbooks with attractive and competitive odds to choose from. Professional Hockey is exciting to bet on and there are literally dozens of gambling opportunities both before and during the games. The Senators are at home tonight and they are also favorites at 1.74 to win. The Oilers are not too far behind at 2.15, but they need a lot more than big games from Connor McDavid if they want to continue winning. Bet365 will also be offering live in play betting props for punters seeking an interactive way to play.

Malaga lost two games in a row, but there is no shame in dropping points against Sevilla and Barcelona, especially when you don’t have home pitch advantage. The team hopes to return to its winning ways and improve its position in the Primera Division it welcomes Getafe at Estadio de la Rosaleda. Better Offensive Performance for Malaga The home side has scored the fewest goals this season, which rendered the otherwise stellar defensive performance virtually meaningless. On the bright side, recent games were encouraging as Malaga managed to score in six consecutive matches. During this relatively short period of time, the team scored as many points as it did in all the previous games, so the fans are optimistic ahead of this fixture. Malaga will be playing without three players, but none of these absentees are critical and should be replaced with relative ease. The hosts have played without these footballers against both Sevilla and Barcelona and still managed to score while losing by a narrow margin. Frightening Road Record for Getafe The visitors will be traveling to Malaga aware of the fact that their performance away from home has been abysmal this entire season. With a single victory and just nine goals scored, they are the second worst traveling team and recent results are not encouraging either. The only consolation for Getafe is that they don’t have any players injured or suspended, so manager Escriba can use the most competitive starting 11. Even under these circumstances, punters would be wise to back the home side at odds of 13/20 at bet365 Sports, as Malaga’s offensive is heating up. The hosts are highly motivated to claim all three points, as nothing short of a victory would jeopardize their chances of securing a Europa League spot. Head over to bet365 Sports today and spice up your Friday evening with top Spanish football.
