online casino news

online casino news

Online gambling industry received a shot in the arm after the two search engine behemoths, Yahoo and Bing, had an agreement. The Federal government of United States of America and the European Union has taken a landmark decision of allowing YAHOO & BING to combine their SEs (Search Engines).

So, what’s the big deal?

Google’s market share of the US search engine market is around 65%. On the other hand, Yahoo’s search engine market share is 17% and that of Bing’s is 11.3%. The great combining of the SE giants, namely Yahoo and Microsoft’s Bing, will catapult their joint market share to 30%. According to the consolidation move, the search results of the search engine – Yahoo will be powered by Microsoft’s Bing. This consolidation will surely help Bing to compete the largest player of the search engine market, Google.

But what’s the advantage of Online Gambling industry with this search engine consolidation of Yahoo and Bing?

Some Forewords: One of the main reasons of the enormous growth of online gambling industry in the last one decade has been online advertising. But in the recent past it has been witnessed that online gambling is being shunned by the advertising websites as well as the PPC medium. The only medium that is still left for the online gambling industry to promote itself is the organic search results of various search engines. All search engines are still allowing the online gambling industry to be projected in the general (or organic) search result and don’t interfere with viewers’ choice of accessing online gambling and casino websites.

Online Gambling Industry & Consolidation of Yahoo and Bing:

From now on, the search results of Yahoo will be powered by Microsoft’s search engine – Bing. This consolidation of SEs will help the gambling aficionados to get more relevant and targeted search results, which will ultimately benefit the online gambling industry as a whole through increased business.

Las Vegas Casino Mogul Says That Online Gambling Regulation is Coming

Wednesday, December 30th, 2009

Online Gambling Regulation is Coming

Phil Ruffin, the casino mogul of Las Vegas, has issued a statement saying that online gambling is going to be regulated in the coming decade.

Ruffin had spoken his mind in one of the columns in Las Vegas Sun. Why does he think so? The answer lies in the revenue potential of the online gambling industry. According to him, the revenue earning from the regulation of internet gambling is simply enormous and that’s why the US Congress would go for the well-awaited regulation on online casino gambling.

Would Acceptance of Online Gambling, by the Government, Affect Land Based Casino Business?

According to Phil Ruffin, internet gambling will not affect the businesses of land based casinos because the shows of Las Vegas casinos are inaccessible over the internet. He also added that online gambling would surely have a positive affect on the gambling industry as a whole because the internet casinos (both free and paid) are able to educate general public about gambling. This will, in turn, help in expansion of the gambling market as a whole because the total number of players in the market would naturally increase.

Phil Ruffin – About His Business Ventures in Recent Past

Last year Mr. Ruffin had bought Treasure Island Casino and Resort from the renowned MGM Mirage. At that time MGM was going through financial constraints and debt issues. Ruffin had paid US$ 775 million for thecasino called RuffinRip. Previously, Mr. Phil Ruffin owned another casino called New Frontier Casino.

Will this Statement Affect Any Lawsuit?

The timing and content of the opinion of Yves, the advocate general of European court, may influence the decision of a lawsuit filed by Betfair and Ladbrokes against one of the constituent countries of the European Union, the Netherlands.

Lawsuit – What was all About?

The lawsuit filed by the companies, mentioned above, has been done on the backdrop of the refusal of the Netherlands government’s decision to disallow free trade of online gambling with the constituent EU partners.
