Knowledge is Money

I have recently been surfing internet for some hard data.
Wanted to know how casino market is looking at the moment on stats and in comparison to other markets.

I can hear you say "boring", but the thing is: if you really want to be good in casino gambling you need toknow the market inside out. You might think it doesn't influence the way you play or what casinos you choose, but it really does.

For instance, you probably heard of what happened when the Gambling Act of 2005 got implemented in the UK last year?
Basically, the Act banned companies operating outside the European Economic Area (EEA) from advertising in the UK, unless they were accepted on a "Whitelist", an exclusive list with companies that get immune from the ban. They justified the introduction of the ban saying they want to protect users from dodgy sites and painful consequences of using those dodgy sites.

This had a huge influence on online gambling. Affiliates lost in many cases over half of their clients, which made the affiliate online competition even more intense. The sites, which were now banned from advertising, were put in an extremely tough position and it had a huge effect on the way they started to operate. The bonuses offered became growing incredibly just to attract users. The funny thing is, the casinos have not changed, but because of the locations they were operating from they would now be considered more secure or less secure.

I am still enjoying the great bonuses poor operators need to bring in to attract the customers. I know which casinos were good then and haven't changed since, aside from rising bonuses!

For instance all casinos operating under Brightshare - All Jackpots, All Slots, Jackpot Factory, Wild Jack.... Very good company, but can't advertise, so now their bonuses are sweet ;) By the way, if you are wondering - they couldn't move to UK, as the taxes went up ridiculously with the Gambling Act (Gordon Brown really thought it through)
