WHERE CAN YOU PLAY?

New design at Online.CasinoCity can give you the latest info

The popular Casino City gambling information portal has been extensively updated to better provide online gamblers with region-specific information on where they can play, the group announced this week.

Michael Corfman, CEO of Casino City said: "Staying on top of the changes in the online gaming industry is a huge undertaking requiring continuous monitoring and reporting by a dedicated news and research staff. In fact, we contact every online gaming site on an ongoing basis to find the list of countries and states from which they accept players and the deposit methods they use. We do this simply because it is the information our visitors need to know."

Unlike the original version of the website, which displayed all online gambling sites based on their popularity, the new version of Online.CasinoCity.com determines where each visitor comes from and displays only those online gambling sites accepting players from his or her location.

For example, a U.K. visitor will see only those sites accepting players from the U.K. Visitors may also select a language on the site to only show the online gambling sites offering games in the chosen language.

Visitors can search for sites that accept their play and find the most up-to-date news on policy changes affecting the online gambling industry, and they can also check on a site's popularity based on how many visitors it receives, look up gambling software providers and the sites that use their games, and compare special offers available at different online gambling sites such as welcome bonuses.

A complete directory of each of the following types of online gambling sites is included in the new layout:


-- Online Casinos (985)
-- Poker Rooms (555)
-- Sports and Race Books (535)
-- Bingo Sites (264)
-- Skill Games (48)
-- Backgammon (16)
-- Lotteries (35)
-- Betting Exchanges (23)

The UIGEA has provided great lessons in how to thwart the ignoble intentions of rogue State Power at it's worst. So play away. The FBI has neither the time, resources nor desire to stop you if you are determined. Complete neutralization of exclusion measures becomes trivial once learned. The nature of free markets will not allow the enforcement of ill concieved rules where the enforcer has less to gain by enforcing than the violator has by violating. If this were not true, the war on drugs would have been won long ago...

Sure you can play from wherever you want, but not wherever you want. You missed the point of the OP

It's a clever idea in principle. Unfortunately the listings seem to have many errors about which countries are allowed. For example, I just did a search for Playtech casinos allowing players in California. The search returned 126 results.

Makes you wonder why webmasters don't test out their new creation before it goes live.


...or if it was ever meant to work in the first place - ie: A simple PR stunt instead of an operational search engine.

This further strengthens the above statement:

Thanks for the input - I'll pass those comments on to Michael Corfman, who will I am sure want to correct those of his staff who are responsible for this new facility.

Without knowing exactly how you went about performing the search, it is difficult to try to diagnose why you got the wrong results. We would like to understand exactly what you did, because we want to do everything we reasonably can to make the site work intuitively, and clearly if you got the wrong results, we did not accomplish that objective.

In terms of the result you did get, we have a total of 132 sites using Playtech software in our database, and 126 of those sites support the english language. Thus it is pretty clear that the results you were looking at did not include any player location restrictions. Right now we show less than 25% of those 126 sites accepting players in California.

Certainly the information we have will not be perfect - things are changing too fast for that to be the case. But we do have a team of people working very hard to try to be as accurate as possible. And we welcome feedback where our information might be incorrect to guide us in doing better.

Thanks,

Actually, our database currently shows 613 casinos accepting players in New York, 574 of those sites supporting the English language. If you think sites are included in the list that should not be listed, please let us know and we will investigate and make any updates we determine are appropriate.

Please note that this does not mean it is legal for residents of New York to gamble online. While I'm not familiar with New York state regulations that might relate to online gaming, I have heard that some software vendors like Microgaming believe it is not legal to gamble online in that state.

On the Casino City site we state quite clearly that the fact that a site offers games to players in a jurisdiction should not be used as a basis for deciding it is OK for players to play online from that jurisdiction.

It occurred with the advanced search. The same Playtechs were also included in the list of all casinos allowing US players. However, the issue seems to have been addressed. Now the advanced search returns 31 Playtechs allowing California players, including Totesport.
