Paramount Bingo, one of the great online bingo sites that is part of the Bingo Entertainment Network, saw another lucky progressive jackpot winner on 23 rd April.

The player known as Auntdee13069, from Fulton, New York was playing on the LetterX pattern, along with many other regular players. With only the 14 th ball called the chat was overflowing with ‘wtg’s’ to Auntdee13069, who may not have immediately realised that she had just hit the progressive jackpot!

With an extra $1,228.25 in her pocket, I’m sure Auntdee13069 will not forget that particular bingo pattern in a hurry.

This expansion is of great benefit to all players on all of the Network brands, as the progressive bingo jackpots are spread over the whole network, which means the more players contributing to the pot, the bigger the progressive jackpot gets. And of course with the progressive jackpot always starting at $1000, there are far more players getting richer on Bingo Entertainment.

Website launches Internet Gambling 'Public Outcry Campaign'

An article found on casinogamblingweb.com gives details of its ‘Public Outcry Campaign’, which was set up for all those interested in expressing their displeasure with the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act.

On 16th April, Casino Gambling Web launched a page on their website that lists every congressman’s contact information by state. It contains a full listing of each representative’s phone numbers and email addresses, along with each of their office mailing addresses in Washington, D.C.

They urge everyone who wishes to express their displeasure of the act, to start calling these congressmen now. You can find the full list of all representatives’ contact details at http://www.casinogamblingweb.com/us-representative-contact-information.jsp

They advise that each call should not take longer than 2 minutes, and calling everyday is suggested. The more calls that are made, the louder the ‘public outcry’ will sound. There is more than 1 representative in each state and they also suggest that callers call ALL of their state representatives at least once.

They also give guidelines on what a caller should say, giving a list of Five Talking Points. For example; ‘Express to your representative that you should be able to spend your hard earned money in the comfort of your own home, for your own entertainment, however you choose’.

YouTeller Denies NETeller Takeover Rumors

In response to rumors that his company’s YouTeller platform is contemplating the takeover of NETeller.com, Seed Capital spokesman Florian Schweitzer purportedly stated on Thursday;

“We are not interested in a traditional online payment system. We have developed a service that is tailor-made to the current challenges”,

Currently the mysterious YouTeller is supposedly embroiled in a legal quagmire with NETeller over its name. Seed Capital Ltd. meanwhile has decided to delay the launch of their new payment processor YouTeller.com.

“It is in everyone’s interest that YouTeller will not be confused with NETeller,” said Schweitzer. “If Seed Capital will not be able to make the legal situation clear the company will introduce an all-new online payment system next summer.”

Many industry observers have been weary of YouTeller’s lack of communication in recent months, not to mention its flip flopping approach.

A script on the youteller.com website simply states;
Please Note: Seed Capital Ltd. is not affiliated with, related to, or endorsed by NETeller Plc.

Barney Frank says online gambling ban resistance growing

From a report on Thursday in the Las Vegas Journal Review, by Tony Batt;

There may not be much support in Congress for Internet gambling, But Rep. Barney Frank says resistance is growing against a ban passed late last year.

“I think a lot of members of Congress voted for the ban without having given it a lot of attention,” Frank said on Wednesday. “And I think that there is growing opposition to it”, he said. “I think that this may be a case where, after the fact of having voted for it, people don’t like it and they reconsider.”

Frank, the new chairman of the House Financial Services Committee, said he plans to introduce a bill “probably next week, maybe the week after” against the Internet gambling ban.

Democrat Shelley Berkley and Republican Jon Porter, both of Nevada, also are planning to unveil legislation within the next two weeks that would call for a study of Internet gambling by the National Academy of Sciences.

After considering an 18-month study, the Nevadans are expected to propose a one-year study instead.

The Poker Players Alliance, represented by former Sen. Alfonse D’Amato, R-N.Y., also may seek legislation that would exempt online poker from the ban.

Frank said he may support the Nevadans’ bill, but “I want to go beyond the study.”

Although he said it would be “premature” to discuss details of his bill, Frank explained why he has described the Internet gambling ban as one of the “stupidest” ever passed.

“Because I like to tell the truth,” he said. “It has no valid public purpose in my judgment. It intrudes in people’s private lives.

“One argument for it … was this activity adds nothing to the GDP (gross domestic product). That’s a chilling principle; that if something doesn’t add to the gross domestic product we can ban it. That’s a kind of … corporatism that is very troubling to me.”

The ban prohibits the use of credit cards or other bank instruments to pay for sports bets and gambling online. Before the ban, Internet gambling had become a $12 billion industry with more than 2,300 Web sites.

Congress passed the ban after it was attached to a port security bill by then-Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist, R-Tenn. The vote was 409-2, and previous roll call votes in the House and Senate have shown overwhelming support for an Internet gambling ban.

Frank acknowledged Congress may not be ready to change the ban dramatically.

“But I know lawmakers are hearing from people who don’t like it now. So I’d say the situation is very fluid,” Frank said.

Throughout his career, Frank has been a persistent and often lonely voice against efforts to regulate gambling.

“In a number of areas, I am a libertarian,” Frank said. “I think that John Stuart Mill’s ‘On Liberty’ is a great statement, and I was just rereading it. I believe that people should be allowed to read and gamble and ride motorcycles and do a lot of things that other people might not want to let them do.”
