Celebrities and bingo have, since the early days of the game, been very closely entwined. When bingo clubs first became legal following the Betting and Gaming Act of 1960, it was illegal to advertise them. Although their popularity spread viraly, club proprietors still felt the need to publicise them and a good way to do this was to attract press coverage by appointing a celebrity to participate in a game or an evening of games, generally as a bingo caller.

Free casino games are available in all online casinos, and are a free method of figuring out the format of your chosen game and also provide a good opportunity to get to grips with the software of the online casino game.

BlackJack Bodog Casino is nearing its billionth blackjack hand and to celebrate this milestone they’re giving you an opportunity to win cash prizes and a Billionaire’s...

Following the passing of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Bill 2006, there is a lot of confusion about the legal status of online gambling. In reality, very little has actually changed. This bill is designed to attack the methods that are used to fund online gaming accounts. It does NOT make online gambling illegal. It does NOT criminalise online gamblers. It simply requires banks to block transactions to online gaming sites. As most experienced online gamblers know, banks have been doing that for quite some time.

This so called ‘anti gambling’ bill excludes lots of online gambling from the banking ban – horse racing, lotteries – and was put forward by Senator Frist, who receives campaign donations from Harrah’s, the Biggest non-online gambling business in the world.
