Dear Reader,

Whoa! A day late? No problemo - better late than never as they say. Plus I have a good reason to be a little tardy - and besides that, I'm my own boss and can do whatever I like. Ha ha ha!

Bluntly yours,

Bryan

    WORD FROM THE MEISTER
    Life is good
    A friend of mine turned me on to a free concert ticket to see Mark Knopfler (Dire Straits lead man) in Leipzig on Wednesday night. So I had to make a decision - turn down the ticket and get the newsletter out on schedule? Or say "the hell with my schedule and my readers?" Guess what I did? <grin> Anyway, I asked my friend how much he paid for the tickets so I could pay for my share, but he wouldn't take my money - smiling that it didn't cost him much. You see, he's a local cop. I figured some Burgermeister probably didn't get a speeding ticket last week. Thanks man.

    It was a great show. And if you're a Mark Knopfler fan - too bad you weren't there. And if you have no idea who I'm talking about, check out the official Mark Knopfler website here http://www.mark-knopfler.com to get a taste of what you are missing.
    Global Interactive Gaming Summit & Expo
    That's where I'll be next week, in Montreal at the GIGSE. I have a full agenda on my plate - not much room for goofing off. I'll be hooking up with a number of industry figures, and I have some things to talk about. There are some casinos who wish to be removed from the "rogues", and there are casinos who wish to join the Accredited Casinos section. So we'll see what's up with that.

    I'll also be moderating a forum on affiliate marketing on Tuesday morning which I hope you, my dear reader will find the time to attend. Of course, that's if you're going to be there.

    And keep your eyes open for the GIGSE Special Report due to hit cyber-space and your hard drive in a couple of weeks when I am fully recovered.

    And yeah, Vortran will be holding the fort down while I'm gone. So be kind to my little robot buddy while I'm gone.

    NEW WEBCAST IS UP!
    Hot damn!! It's about time! Casinomeister's webcast delves into the following:
    • Casinomeister thinks about things
    • Vortran Rochester Casino Warning
    All this and more here!
    USING BABIES TO PROMOTE ONLINE CASINOS IS NOT COOL
    And it's not funny either. There have been a number of "Golden Palace" funny ha ha's, but this one is not cool. As you may have heard, Golden Palace has claimed that a New Jersey couple auctioned off the rights to their baby's name on eBay. Golden Palace paid $15,000 requiring the parents to name their boy "Goldenpalacedotcom Silverman". Oh joy!

    Maybe next, they'll hire a gigantic blimp, shape it like a big giant penis (with Golden Palace.com emblazoned on the side, of course) and fly it over Disneyland. Now that would be really funny too. In fact, I'd rather see the giant penis instead of hearing about parents doing stupid things with their children.

    By the way, the Kahnawake Gaming Commission responded to my inquiry stating that they "can confirm that Golden Palace was indeed disciplined by the Commission for the incident that occurred during the Olympics Games in Athens. However, the Commission will not disclose the disciplinary measures that were rendered to Golden Palace for this [baby naming] specific incident."

    RETURN OF SLOTSALLEY SPAM
    Some of you may remember the spam campaign that the Slots Alley casino group launched last winter targeting King Neptunes Casino e these spam mails included the affiliate code AF0000001313. After contacting the operator in February about this, he responded:
    Bryan,

    BTW, I just got an update from Lucky Traffic that AF0000001313 affiliate account has been cancelled 2 days ago. Cancellation was caused by spam reports they have received from different sources (Neptune and 1 or 2 more), and by damage to program image (blacklist at your site).

    Regards,

    The operator
    Well, lo and behold I received two spam mails from the same "affiliate" today. Update is located here:

    And now for the humor......
    A man asked his wife what she'd like for her birthday. "I'd love to be eight again." she replied.

    On the morning of her birthday, he arose early, made her a nice big bowl of Cocoa Pops, and then took her off to the local theme park. What a day! He put her on every ride in the park: the Death Slide, the Wall of Fear, the Screaming Monster Roller Coaster, every thing there was. Five hours later she staggered out of the theme park. Her head was reeling and her stomach felt upside down. Right away, they journeyed to a McDonald's where her loving husband ordered her a Happy Meal with extra fries and a refreshing chocolate shake. Then it was off to the movies: the latest Star Wars epic, a hot dog, popcorn, all the Coke she could drink, and her favorite lolly and M&M's. What a fabulous adventure! Finally she wobbled home with her husband and collapsed into bed exhausted. He leaned over his precious wife with a big smile and lovingly asked, Well, Dear, what was it like being eight again?" Her eyes slowly opened and her expression suddenly changed. "I meant my dress size!"

    The moral of the story: Even when a man is listening, he's gonna get it wrong. So be nice to us, please.

    Ha ha ha ha!

    IT'S ALL HAPPENING IN MONTREAL NEXT WEEK

    The biggest online gambling event in the world

    Montreal will see an influx of online gambling people from 45 nations and all sectors next week as the industry gathers to debate and network at the Global Interactive Gaming Summit & Expo (GIGSE)

    New technology, products, legal hurdles, payment solutions and business techniques will be showcased and discussed, and the bars and restaurants will do a roaring trade as the network machine goes into overdrive and tries to pack as much value as possible into a three day timespan.

    It's the world's largest conference and trade show in the US$12 billion Internet and wireless gambling industry, which this year celebrates its tenth anniversary. Montreal's Palais des Congrès will be one busy place from June 13 to 15.

    The current online poker craze has propelled an already thriving industry to new heights and this year's record-breaking attendance reflects this injection of interest and enthusiasm. The agenda provides a distinguished line-up of expert speakers as well as a long list of exhibitors from the local Montreal area and as far away as the Far East and the South Pacific.

    The GIGSE 2005 program focuses on both looking back on the decade that was and looking forward to new opportunities and challenges. Thought-provoking presentations, debates, roundtables and interactive work sessions have all been scheduled to examine every challenge associated with running a successful online gambling business.

    Influential speakers include CEOs, authors, lawyers and I-gaming experts. In addition to forecasting the future, the speakers will cover the hottest business issues including customer care, emerging online payment concepts, mobile technologies, advertising, branding and marketing, regulatory, investing and more.

    More than 85 leading companies and online gambling friendly jurisdictions from around the world will be highlighting a wide range of new products, technologies and services on the Expo floor.

    Key sponsors include Neteller, Playtech, Click2Pay, Orbis, RealTime Gaming, Gateway Financial Solutions, Mohawk Internet Technologies and Net Entertainment.

    Winding up proceedings late afternoon Wednesday will be an amusing but fiercely contested race using the Segway two wheeler personal transporters driven by top i-gaming executives. Betting will likely be brisk on this charity event with proceeds going to responsible gambling organisations.
