Dear Reader,
Just a very short one today since most everyone is shutting down for the holidays. Don't want to clutter your in-box with a lot of blah blah blah.
Succinctly yours,
Bryan

Yesterday, I was contacted by a forum member who wondered if Magic Gold Casino was a rogue casino (she couldn't find it in the rogue section).
Anyway, Magic Gold Casino is sporting a eCOGRA logo on their "About Us" page - pending acceptance it says. This is surprising since the software provider has to qualify before any licensee can be accepted. Real Time Gaming has not submitted anything to eCOGRA as far as I know. Keeping this in mind, right there on the "About Us" page at Magic Gold Casino it states "eCOGRA approval pending". I've made a screenshot in case they take it down before this newsletter goes out:
Well this is news to eCOGRA. eCOGRA's CEO Andrew Beveridge was surprised at this finding and is in the process of contacting the casino about the use of the logo. Also note that the Interactive Gaming Council is listed as well with an "accepted" code of conduct. C'mon, give me a break. Make up your own code of conduct, or just plaster every logo imaginable on the site and just say you agree with them too. This is some bogus crap. They are not members of the IGC.
What gets me is that all of these claims are so unnecessary. Why do these casinos still feel that the only way to get customers is to trick them into playing with bogus BS. Shenanigans like this reflect directly on casinos' business ethics, and I am rather amazed that these guys are still in business.

The Slot Junkies Challenges are a unique concept whereby players can opt into competitions for their favourite casino games and join in a community of like-minded players. Each month, casinos sponsor certain games and put up prizes for the best win, backed up by a screenshot, during the month.
The winning screenshots are those which show the highest win, based on the number of coins won rather than the actual amount. This gives the "low-rollers" a fairer chance to compete. The first prize each month will vary from game to game and the prize allocation is displayed for each game when you enter the Player Lounge. Second and Third place prizes are also usually available.

<groan> but I just had to tell it!
But on another Christmasy note, check out the History Channel's website on the makings of Christmas and where these traditions come from. http://www.historychannel.com/exhibits/holidays/christmas/index.html section. Fascinating stuff.
