There have been a number of developments at Trada Casino, with the site having upgraded its mobile platform while also releasing the results of a player survey. First, though, the site is hosting a special event to reward players. The Adventure Calendar is a monthly event in which registered players have the opportunity to claim an array of daily offers designed to increase bankrolls and also award prizes. For players who get involved, they can snag an array of deals, including deposit matches, spins for slot games, and cashback credit on select losses. Mobile Casino Proving Popular Another recent improvement has been that Trada Casino players have had access to the newly optimised mobile site from spring 2016. For those using the mobile site, Trada Casino has reported that the easier navigation is the greatest appeal. Meanwhile, the availability of live chat support within mobile browsers has also proven popular. Across the board, five of the ten most popular games in May were accessed via smartphones and tablets. What Casino Players Want Trada Casino has also attempted to be one of the more insightful sites by conducting an in-depth player survey to determine what players value the most when selecting their new sites to register with. Leading off the factors was the finding that an overwhelming 84% of respondents prioritise withdrawal speed when signing up. Coming in second place, there were 66% of respondents who want a good game selection at their casino. The response rate then dropped to 47% for those who value customer service availability, with free deposits and withdrawals and then promotion selection just behind on 46% and 45%, respectively. Having a good welcome offer was then important for 38% of respondents, while security was on 27%. And then there was a drop-off for licensing jurisdiction on 16%. Surprisingly, mobile compatibility was down at just 7%, with other factors combining for 10%.
Major League Baseball seems to go overlooked at this time of year. The major soccer leagues are all finished, the NBA Finals and Stanley Cup Finals are in full swing, but in the meantime, some of the best baseball games in the world are being played. The season is almost a third of the way complete and this year has already been an action-packed season. The standings are surprising as teams try to improve their place before the All-Star Game on July 12 and tonight, two of the best teams in the American League go head-to-head. The Baltimore Orioles are currently in first place in the tight AL East, just a half a game ahead of the New York Yankees and three games ahead of last year's AL Division Champions the Toronto Blue Jays. The Orioles are one of the most consistent teams in professional Baseball. Their history has seen them win the World Series only three times, but they are regularly in the playoffs and this year could be the year that the Orioles challenge for a title. The Kansas City Royals are in second place in the AL Central only two games back of the Cleveland Indians (have not won a world series since 1948). The Royals are 30-27 but have dropped their last four straight, including the three-games series against the Indians, and the first game of the three-game series with the Orioles, last night 4-1. The Royals will be sending Yordana Ventura to the mound tonight, as he looks to continue his perfect record against teams in the AL East. The Orioles will go with their right-hander Ubaldo Jimenez. Ventura definitely has the advantage over the Orioles, as he is 4-1 with an ERA of 1.96 against Baltimore in his four-year career. This is great news for punters because sports books around the internet all have the Orioles as favorites to win. MLB Sports Betting The MLB is always live at bet365 and tonight the UK sportsbook has attractive odds on the game. The Orioles are out in front of the odds at 1.76, while the Royals are at 2.10. Don't miss out on the live in play lines throughout the game.

In South Africa, Democratic Alliance (DA) MP Geordin Hill-Lewis was rebuffed in its efforts to open up the country’s online gambling market last week. Speaking to the National Assembly, Hill-Lewis had attempted to convince politicians that South Africa could unlock economic benefits if online casino and poker sites were regulated. National Assembly Rejects Bill At the start of May, Hill-Lewis had already encountered frustration when South Africa’s Trade and Industry Committee released a report designed to shut down the politician’s Remote Gambling Bill. Last week, the National Assembly was speaking to determine whether or not the committee’s verdict and findings should be accepted. During the discussion, Freedom Party MP Jan Esterhuizen leant his support to the bill. Setting aside the economic benefits that were already highlighted, Esterhuizen stated that thousands of online gambling sites were still operating in South Africa, and this despite threats being made to hand out punishments to both operators and gamblers. From a legal standpoint, any individual or operator being prosecuted by the government can be forced to pay fines worth up to R10 million, which equates to $6.3 million. Those who are prosecuted also face the prospect of serving up to 10 years in prison if they are found guilty. The Current Marketplace Currently, South Africa is a country where sports betting is the only legal form of online gambling. For a number of years now, Hill-Lewis has tried and failed to convince his fellow politicians that the introduction of new online gambling verticals would be for the good of the nation. Going back to January 2015, the Department of Trade and Industry (DTI) clearly stated it had no intention to open up online gambling. Nevertheless, Hill-Lewis did have the freedom to resurrect his bill a year later and even trigger the conducting of a report that had to be approved by the National Assembly.

Oh what a series it has been…The rematch of last year's NBA Finals is already proving to be one of the most entertaining we have seen in recent years. Not because the star players on each side are killing it on the hard-court, it has been the depth of the young roster on the Warrior's side that have taken center stage. The Warriors are up 2-0 after beating the Cavs decisively in the first two games, but with the series heading to Cleveland, will LeBron be able to even things up. Love him, or despise him, there is something to be said about LeBron James playing in his sixth consecutive NBA Finals. No one knows how crucial Game 3 is for the Cavs as James said, "It's a do or die game for us," How much can the Cavs really improve after losing by 33-points on Sunday night? The good thing is that they are unbeaten at home in the playoffs this year, but then again, they haven't faced the Warriors at home either. The fact that Kevin Love could be on the bench after suffering a concussion on Sunday, would be a bigger shot to an already struggling Cleveland lineup. The Cavs looked better throughout the earlier rounds of the playoffs then the Warriors did, but perhaps that just goes to show that the Warriors had to face tougher teams just to get this far. The Warriors have held the Cavs to just 35.6 percent shooting in the first two games, which has slowed their offence greatly. "If we can score a little bit more, which I believe we will do in Game 3, that will help our defense out a lot, too," James continued. Place your bets with bet365 Sports The Cavs and the Warriors are two of the teams that bookmakers have struggled to make competitive lines for. Tonight is no different with bet365 Sports posting odds in favor of the Cavs tonight at 1.86, while the Warriors are at 1.95.
Events Group Clarion´s Content Head will be representing her company at the gambling session of a vital gaming conference at the University of Nevada. The Details Organized by the UNLV’s International Gaming Institute, the Gambling & Risk Taking conference, takes place on June 6-10 at the Mirage Resort & Casino. Clarion’s Ewa Bakun will participate in the events as a moderator during the Online Gaming session of the 16th edition of the conference. The Subjects Interdisciplinary researcher specialists from universities and think tanks across the world are presenting new gambling research in Las Vegas this week. The range of topics includes history and etymology of gambling; to regulations; to gambling psychology; gambling addiction and responsible gambling; to innovation and evolution of business models, all of which will be featured in an agenda packed with multiple events taking place at the Mirage Hotel & Casino. Additional speakers include representatives of the business sector who will be moderating sessions and offering keynote addresses. The Clarion Vision In moderating the online gambling session, Bakun will serve the key role of exploring the intersection between academic research and the business world. Bakun is aware of her greater social responsibility as a senior manager in a company that considers itself “the key information provider to the sector through our events and digital content,” in Bakun´s own words. Bakun´s Role In the session entitled Online Gaming Consumers, Consumption and Behaviour, Bakun will moderate a session presenting the results of three studies: Jussi Palomaki´s Helsinki study on gender biases (‘To Bluff Like a Man or Fold Like a Girl,’), Richard James´ Nottingham study of mobile gamblers (A Behavioural Account of Mobile Gambling), and a Finnish study by Tuomo Kainulainen of horse racing punters (An Empirical Study of Online Horse Race Bettors Betting Behaviour). All three studies will provide conclusions based on cognitive psychology research into player behaviour. Legendary Launch Steve Wynn is to deliver an opening keynote address about the transformation in gambling that have taken place over the last 25 years, kicking off what is shaping up to be what is likely the most important iGaming conference in years.
Euro 2016 will begin this Friday 10 June, with tournament hosts France due to face Romania. For fans who want to add to their experience, NetEnt has created a themed online slot entitled Football: Champions Cup. This game has been released at bet365 Vegas, arriving just in time for a thrilling summer of football. Pick Your Euro 2016 Team At the start of the game, players are given the freedom to select their favourite international team. Fittingly, the 24 teams are all participants in Euro 2016. Moving forward, NetEnt could adjust the selection for future tournaments, such as the next World Cup. After picking a team, the game itself will then begin. At first glance, it is obvious that the experience is set inside a packed stadium, with the five-reel slot interface overlaid. This displays 15 symbols at once, with players required to stake on 20 paylines. When it comes to values, each coin can be set from €0.01 to €0.50. The betting level can also be adjusted, but from levels one through 10. The minimum bet can be €0.20, while the absolute maximum can be €100. Penalty Shootout Bonus Game Football: Champions Cup even has a penalty shootout bonus game that is made up of five rounds. In each round, the player choose one of four places in the goal to try and score past the keeper. The next challenge is to be the keeper and try to save the next shot. To launch the game, land three or more bonus symbols. For free spins, players can land three scatter symbols on reels two, three, and four. The setup for this feature will see players try to advance through four rounds of free spins to try and win an overall coin prize. The final features are the wild symbols and overlay wilds, of which two and five can appear.
This past Thursday saw the New York Senate Finance Committee approve a bill that is taking the Empire State one step closer to legalizing online poker. The bill, S5302, was introduced by Senator John Bonacic in May of 2015, and it has taken over a year for it to get to this point. Fortunately, it was approved by the Committee in a 20-8 vote, and it will now continue on to the Senate for future consideration. Not Celebrating Just Yet While the approval by the New York Senate Finance Committee is certainly a necessary step in the right direction, online gaming supporters are not breaking out the champagne just yet. This may be partially due to recent reports that the sponsor of the bill himself, Assemblyman Gary Pretlow, is “pessimistic” when it comes to legalizing online poker. It also may be due to the conspicuous lack of public hearings, which signifies that this issue isn’t really at the forefront of lawmaker’s agendas. A More Pressing Issue At the same time that the New York Senate Finance Committee approved Bonacic’s online poker bill, it also approved his Daily Fantasy Sports (DFS) bill, which would regulate the industry in the state. DFS was shut down in New York earlier this year due to issues of legality, and Bonacic’s bill would seek to reintroduce it under careful regulatory laws. Some pundits think that the New York Senate won’t approve an online poker bill until the issue of DFS is resolved. And because New York has a June 16 deadline for legislation, online poker might get pushed to the backburner in favor of tackling DFS. Others think that there’s no reason that the two issues can’t be handled together, as they are fairly intertwined. While it’s hard to tell which school of thought is correct, we will all know soon enough. The clock is ticking.
It has been all Penguins this series, except for one overtime victory by the San Jose Sharks. Pittsburgh is on their way to their fourth Stanley Cup. They are the faster, stronger and better team, led by Sidney Crosby, whom took the Penguins to their third Stanley Cup in the 2008/09 regular season. They could lock it all up tonight and hoist the trophy at home in front of a capacity crowd, unless the Sharks can start to bite. In Game 4, the Penguins beat the Sharks 3-1, which was the first time this series that a game was one by a deficit of more than one goal. Despite a late surge by the Sharks in the third period, while the game was still 2-1, the Penguins put the nail in the coffin by way of a goal from Eric Fehr in the last two minutes of play. The Penguins are winning games because they get the early advantage, but the Sharks are able to play on the same level and they will need to start soon. Many of the Penguins have never been in a situation like this before. The only remaining players from their Stanley Cup victory in 2009 are Evgeni Malkin, Kris Letang, Chris Kunitz, Marc-Andre Fleury and Sidney Crosby. Having such talented veteran players on the ice will help the younger roster, but the Sharks will undoubtedly pressure every line that the Penguins put on the ice tonight. Penguins Slight Favorites in the Odds The odds race for tonight's game was won by the Penguins, as bet365 Sports has them out in front at 1.43, while the Sharks aren't too far behind at 2.90. bet365 Sports will be offering live streaming of the game and live in-play odds for punters to bet interactively throughout the game, which is a chance for lucrative winnings throughout all three periods of NHL action.
