Ultimate Poker Open for Business
The Feritta brothers, ready for action.
Today is launch day for Ultimate Poker, the first legal online poker site in the United States. It’s a huge step forward for the American gambling industry and a major coup for Ultimate’s parent company Feritta Interactive.
Ferrita Interative entered the Nevada poker race early and has been through a marathon licensing and testing process to get to this day.
Some critics have suggested that Nevada’s population, less than 3 million, is too small to support intrastate online poker. That makes Ultimate Poker a big risk for brothers Lorenzo and Frank Ferrita, who also own 45% of Station Casinos, but they’ve got a few aces up their sleeves.
The Ferrita’s also manage the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) and plan to leverage that connection to help shore up business. Given the overlapping demographics of the UFC and online poker, 21-25-year-old males. For a first-to-market site, that could be a very good deal indeed.
More importantly, for gambling affiliates, Ultimate Poker inked an affiliate marketing deal with Income Access earlier this month. As of this writing, details of the program are still being worked out.
The significance of Ultimate’s launch isn’t lost on anyone in the gambling industry, least of all the company’s CEO Tobin Prior who said:
We like to think of it as the day that trust returns to online gambling in the US. Now you can visit a site and be fully certain that your money is safe and that you’re dealing with people you trust.
As it stands today, any player can deposit funds on Ultimate Poker, but they must be physically in Nevada to actually play real money poker.
Do you think Nevada can support a thriving online poker industry? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

http://www.casinoaffiliateebook.com/2013/04/30/first-cards-dealt-at-nevada-licensed-room-ultimate-poker/Mark this date on your calendar, folks. At around 9 AM local time Tuesday, Nevada-licensed Ultimate Poker dealt their first cards at a real money table. The occasion marks the first time a poker hand has been dealt in the United States under a state licensed poker site. Although many other companies have been licensed in the state, there has been no official word on any other Nevada online poker rooms going live.
At the time of this writing there has been one $ 5 Sit N Go along with a few cash games running from $ 0.05/$ 0.10 to $ 3/$ 6. Because the launch came with little warning it is not a surprise that traffic is light at the moment. Even so, there have been some concerns among industry observers whether Nevada can support an attractive player pool at multiple rooms with a population of only 2.7 million. Ring-fenced markets in Europe such as Italy, Spain and France have healthy action but also enjoy populations over 40 million. Federal law and Nevada regulations currently restrict the sharing of player pools across state lines and across international borders.
To play at the real money tables, a player must be physically located in Nevada. This, however, also includes visitors to the state. Player verification includes providing a social security number as well as a cell phone.
Ultimate Poker does not currently have an affiliate program and is not expected to offer one in the near future. It should also be noted that Nevada regulators require affiliates to be licensed in the state, pay a $ 2,500 licensing fee and undergo a thorough background check.
New Jersey and Delaware have also approved online poker but a precise timetable has not been revealed. Many other states have introduced online poker legislation or plan to before the end of the year.
PAS would like to pass on our congratulations to Nevada online poker players and citizens for this momentous day.

Equity Group Sports Betting Bill Clears Nevada Senate
Coral Moving to iPoker2 May 1st
http://www.casinoaffiliateebook.com/2013/04/25/coral-moving-to-ipoker2-may-1st/Coral has revealed to PAS that they will be moving to the prestigious iPoker2 Network on May 1st, some six months after first moving to iPoker1, which occurred a month after the network segregated player pools at certain cash games and sit n gos.
With the migration of Coral to the iPoker2 player pool they will now share a player pool with other well-known brands such as Titan Poker, Bet365, William Hill, Winner and Poker770. Dozens of other poker skins share the iPoker1 player pool. The iPoker2 player pool is generally considered to have a higher concentration of recreational players, which significantly increases its appeal among players who wish to play on the network.
A Coral PAS representative stated, “Since our move to iPoker from Ongame last October we’ve seen increased numbers in terms of revenue and active players every single month, so much so we have doubled in size culminating in our promotion to the top tier.”
According to reports, the metric to determine a poker room’s inclusion on iPoker2 is based on “maximizing end user experience” and focuses on active players, new player acquisitions as well as a scoring metric that considers player account balances.
Most of the impact of player pool segregation comes at the No Limit HoldÂ’em tables. Six-max tables up to NL400 and full ring up to NL200 have different players, along with all heads-up tables. Multi-table tournament players and sit ‘n go players who play above $ 10 are not affected. In addition, fast-fold tables – usually called Speed Poker — are also not impacted by the segregated player pools.
Coral, a long time UK-based brick and mortar company, launched online poker rooms Eurobet and Coral in 2003 on the Party Gaming network. They moved to Ongame in 2006, where they remained until late 2012. Eurobet closed in 2011 so the company could focus on Coral and Gala.
PAS currently offers a 30% revenue-share deal to affiliates wishing to promote Coral Poker. The poker room features a 100% up to £1,200 sign-up bonus (including £20 in free tokens and cash), VIP program, weekly “Spring Sprints” totaling $ 22k per month.

Interpoker to Leave IPN Tonight
http://www.casinoaffiliateebook.com/2013/04/24/interpoker-to-leave-ipn-tonight/Interpoker contacted PAS today to announce that today will be its last day on the International Poker Network (IPN). This network is sometimes referred to as Boss Media. Interpoker will go offline at 2359 CET. Interpoker will go live on the Ongame Network within 48 hours of closing on IPN.
All player login information will remain the same. Players will be instructed to download the new software once the Ongame product is live. All players will remain tagged to their existing affiliates.
Interpoker players will no longer receive rakeback. A new VIP program will replace rakeback. The terms of this program have not been announced.
PAS publishers that use custom content will need to update it. All publishers that use PAS content will see this content updated automatically when the offer launches.
€16k Race
The €16k Race will be graded and paid as soon as the IPN skin is closed. Players will see this balance reflected in their account when the Ongame skin launches. This race will return in May and is expected to continue in the future.

Foxwoods Gears Up for Online Gambling
The Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation is entering a partnership with the UK-based GameAccount Network to develop an online gambling product centered on their Foxwoods Casino.
In the beginning, the partnership will be focusing on free-to-play offerings with a real-money version set to launch sometime in the future. Tribal leaders described the plan in an online press release saying:
In 2013, Foxwoods.com will launch a compelling virtual Internet gaming offering, future-proofed with an automatic upgrade path for real-money Internet gaming should regulation permit.
So far, efforts to legalize online casino game in Foxwoods’ home state of Connecticut have been derailed by anti-gambling reformers. (Though the state does allow online horse betting.)
In the absence of State legislation, it’s likely that the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation would have to wait for Federal legislation and that could be a very long time. Attempts to pass the Federal online gambling bill, known as Kyl-Reid, have floundered and it’s unclear when legislators might revisit the issue.
Tribal gaming is a huge x-factor in the American market and calling it a, “political football,” is something of an understatement.
As it stands today, smaller and remotely located tribes can’t really compete in the land-based market against tribes like the Mashantucket Pequot Tribal Nation. In the online world, however, tribes of any size will be able to compete on a fairly level playing field.
In short, expect to see lots more activity in this market space in the months ahead.
What kind of impact do you think tribal gaming will have on the American online market? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

http://www.casinoaffiliateebook.com/2013/04/22/foxwoods-gears-up-for-online-gambling/BetFair Spurns Takeover Offer
Betfair has rejected a buyout offer from a private equity firm valued at £900 million ($ 1.3 billion USD) saying that it, “undervalued,” the company. The offer came from CVC Capital Partner, the outfit best known for bankrolling Formula One.
CVC is run by Richard Koch, one of Betfair’s earliest investors and the owner of nearly 6% of the company’s stock. (Koch is also a well-known entrepreneur and business author in the UK.)
Whatever past relationships Koch has with the company seemed far removed from the the tersely worded statement posted on Betfair’s website that said, in part:
(The offer) fundamentally undervalues the Company and its attractive prospects, and is highly conditional…We have a unique business with a market position, profitability, cash flow and prospects that this proposal fails to recognise.
In that same release, company spokesmen touted Betfair’s future and said that a May 7 update would highlight:
The good progress we are making in the implementation of our strategy, including cost efficiencies, and our recent trading performance.
This confident attitude is a good sign for the company that’s seen its share of challenges since going public a couple years back. Betfair stock was up slightly after the announcement was made.
Do you think rejecting this offer was a good move by Betfair? Share your thoughts in the comments section below.

Bwin.party Restricting New Players in 18 Countries
http://www.casinoaffiliateebook.com/2013/04/19/bwin-party-restricting-new-players-in-18-countries/Bwin.party emailed affiliates today notifying them that they would stop accepting new players from 18 countries after April 30, 2013. This move was done partially to withdraw from countries that are considered to be gray markets. Some of the countries are also historically low player value countries. This move was done to both bring the company into a proper regulatory environment as well as control some of the costs required in acquiring players from countries where the lifetime player revenue is too low.
Here is the actual email:
Dear affiliate partner!
Please note that due to commercial reasons, as of 30.04.2013, we will no longer be accepting new traffic for any of our brands from the following countries:
Argentina, Armenia, Belarus, Brazil, Colombia, Croatia, Cyprus, Finland, Greece, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Macedonia, Poland, Romania, Serbia, Slovenia and the Ukraine.
Please remove all relevant bwin.party marketing materials from your website by 30.04.2013.Commission on existing traffic in these markets will continue to be paid according to our Standard Terms and Conditions.
We thank you for your co-operation and would like to apologise for any inconvenience that these changes may cause.
Should you have any queries, please contact us at: affiliate@bwinpartypartners.com
All the best,Your bwin.party partners team
This move only affects new signups for bwin.party. Existing players will not be affected by this change.
This is one of many recent moves by bwin.party to change their player base. The company dropped the top tier of their VIP program on March 31, 2013. The bwin.party affiliate program has also been dropping affiliates or reducing their commission rates if new depositing players are not consistently being referred. This change has not affected affiliates under PAS. The company also has new online poker software under development that is aimed towards recreational players, which has become the theme for bwin.party.
Bwin.party also announced news in Belgium today. The group received a license to operate in the country under the bwin brand name. The new website for Belgians is bwin.be. The Belgium market is not ring fenced like France, Italy and Spain are but the country does require licensing to offer online gambling.
How Affiliates Should Prepare for the Move
Affiliates and publishers that have a large player base in these countries will need to make some changes. Affiliates that manage geotargeting for their sites should remove the newly banned Party Poker and bwin countries by April 30th. Affiliates and publishers that specialize in the countries will need to create a marketing strategy for other rooms that still accept their players. This means creating new media for your website, fresh content and direct mailers.
This is also a good time to notify your existing players at these rooms that they are not affected by this move as they may be concerned if they see a notice on your website about it. Players in the 18 affected countries will also want to know that their time to sign up for these rooms is limited so make sure to contact your players about this change. It may be done with a news story, forum post or mailer.

William Hill Online Acquisition Completed
William Hill is now the happy operator of William Hill On-line (WHO) following completing its acquisition of Playtech’s 29% share of the operation. The £424m ($ 557 USD) deal is the completion of a joint a undertaking that began again in 2008.
It’s also supplying a really handsome return on expenditure for Playtech, which noticed its initial seed income increase a few and a 50 % fold above the previous 5 several years. Playtech will also be receiving a chunk of WHO’s Q1 2013 earnings.
To pay out for the acquisition, William Hill is putting forth a whopping £375m ($ 573m USD) in stock certificates, as well as £50m ($ 76m USD) in credit rating.
Getting full possession of their online operations is just one of a lot of modern moves by William Hill to beef up their online presence. Late previous yr the company, along with their companion GVC, bought Sportingbet for £485M ($ 741 USD). In that deal, William Hill took more than Sportingbet’s Australian and, some of, their Spanish operations.
At the time, William Hill CEO Ralph Topping stated:
This is bang in line with our strategy. Much more on the web revenues, more worldwide revenues and much more regulated revenues…We are laying the foundations nowadays of achievement for the subsequent thirty years
Traders have reacted positively to the announcement, William Hill (WMH.L) stock prices by virtually 1.5%.

April US On the web Poker Payment Processing Report
http://www.casinoaffiliateebook.com/2013/04/12/april-us-on-the-web-poker-payment-processing-report/There was little movement this month over last month in the online poker payment processing world. The online poker rooms that have fast payouts continue to separate themselves further from rooms that have historically struggled with payouts to US players.
Bodog/Bovada A+ (A)
BodogÂ’s US facing skin Bovada once again takes the top spot in our survey. The Bodog Poker Network is also the largest US facing online poker network. Players can expect a check delivered to their door in about one week with a limit of $ 3,000. A bank wire arrives in about a month with a $ 5,000 limit. Players may receive one cashout by either of these methods free each month, although bank wires may have fees charged my intermediary banks. Additional withdrawal requests by either of these methods will carry a $ 50 fee.
Players may also request a withdrawal by Western Union or MoneyGram. These cash transfers are processed often in just one day but in no more than three days. The fees are as follows:
Money Transfer/WU
• $ 100 – $ 200 Fee: $ 40
• $ 201 – $ 500 Fee: $ 50
• $ 501 – $ 1000 Fee: $ 80
• $ 1001 – $ 2000 Fee: $ 150Rapid Transfer/MG
• $ 100 – $ 200 Fee: $ 20
• $ 201 – $ 400 Fee: $ 30
• $ 401 – $ 600 Fee: $ 45
• $ 601 – $ 800 Fee: $ 60Winning Poker Network A (A-)
The Winning Poker Network skins of Americas Cardroom, Black Chip Poker and True Poker improved their already outstanding US cashout times. The Winning Poker Network is the only one with a debit card that players may use to cashout. The card costs $ 25 to request and arrives in 2-3 weeks. There is a $ 4.95 monthly maintenance fee and a fee of $ 3 for every ATM transaction that is in addition to fees charged by the machine. Once a player has it in their possession they will receive their request in 2-5 days. Players may request one debit card withdrawal each week up to $ 2,500 per transaction for a maximum of $ 10,000 each month.
Players may request a check for amounts up to $ 2,995. Players may receive one free check per month and additional checks carry a $ 65 fee. Checks arrive in 1-3 weeks. Players may also request a cash transfer. They are processed in 1-2 days and have the following fees:
• $ 100 – $ 299 Fee: $ 60
• $ 300 – $ 499 Fee: $ 70
• $ 500 – $ 749 Fee: $ 85
• $ 750 – $ 999 Fee: $ 95
• $ 1,000 – $ 1,500 Fee: $ 110Intertops A- (A)
The cashout times from the Revolution Gaming skin Intertops stayed the same from last month. The reason the grade slipped slightly is because of the improvement of other rooms and the lack of free withdrawal methods. Intertops is still a great choice for US players that already have an account there. Intertops no longer accepts new US players. Players may request a check for $ 50 that arrives in a week. Bank wires also have a $ 50 fee and arrive in 2-3 weeks. The fastest method for US players is cash transfer. Those arrive in about 2 days and have the following fees:
• $ 150-$ 500 Fee: $ 70
• $ 501-$ 1,000 Fee: $ 85
• $ 1,001-$ 2,000 Fee: $ 180Carbon Poker/Aced/Jazette C- (C)
The new cashier for major Merge Gaming skins has seen its withdrawal times slowly deteriorate. The average wait time for US players went up 1-2 weeks over the past month. Players are now waiting 8-10 weeks for checks. There is no fee for withdrawals. There are no other cashout methods available to Carbon Poker/Jazette players. One bright side is that if a player has a check and initiates another cashout it will be added to the pending withdrawal without affecting the first checkÂ’s cashout speed assuming the cumulative amount is $ 2,500 or less.
Lock Poker D (D)
Lock Poker started at a grade of B- when we first started tracking their cashout speeds in June 2012. The Revolution Gaming flagship slipped within a few months to D territory. US players are waiting 2-3 months for cash transfers and 3-4 months for checks. There are no fees for either. In a disturbing trend, players in the rest of the world continue to wait 6-8 weeks for cashouts to international ewallets.
Juicy Stakes D- (D-)
Juicy Stakes continues to struggle with US withdrawal speeds. Their US players are reporting 4-5 month wait times. The only cashout option is check but it is free. Like Lock Poker, rest of world players are waiting months to get paid to standard international ewallets.
All of these online poker rooms may be found at our sister site RakeTracker.

BetFred Develops Cell Sportsbook In-Residence
Betfred is launching a new cell sportsbook that was developed totally in-residence. The new application replaces their outdated Mfuse platform and will be available on a minimal foundation to 5,000 players as early as next week.
The firm’s selection to create their very own application, rather of purchasing one particular out-of-the-box, claims a good deal about about their efforts to seize a massive piece of the <a href=”Are you selling cell sports betting? Share your thoughts in the feedback part beneath.“>mobile sports activities betting pie.
In an job interview with EGR Magazine, Betfred developer Andy Daniels talked up the business’s mobile prowess:

Is Boss Media/IPN the Up coming Online Poker Consolidation Victim?
http://www.casinoaffiliateebook.com/2013/04/04/is-boss-mediaipn-the-up-coming-online-poker-consolidation-victim/It is no secret that the online poker industry is consolidating. Between regulated markets that ring fence their players and the dominance of PokerStars, smaller online poker networks are struggling to keep up with their competition. Cryptologic was the first major victim of this consolidation and closed their network in January 2009. Entraction also found it impossible to compete in Europe against brands that could afford to take their chances in regulated markets, while keeping their international network open as well. The Entraction Network closed in December 2012.
Boss Media/IPN Rooms Leave for Other Networks
The International Poker Network (IPN), often referred to as Boss Media, has fallen on hard times due to the contracting industry and the effect that regulated markets are having on the overall online poker industry. This leaves reason to believe that IPN will become the next victim of consolidation.
There have been three major announcements in the first three months of this year that have adversely affected IPN. It all started when Virgin Poker was sold to Gamesys. The well known European brandÂ’s poker unit was closed without notice to players.
PokerKings then announced that they would close in February. While they were a small skin, it signaled more attrition from IPN. Fortune Poker announced that they would close at the end of March. Both of these skins found it better to go out of business than try to sell their player lists and action to other gaming companies.
Interpoker, possibly the largest skin on the network, announced that they would move to Ongame later this month. This should not have come as a big surprise as Interpoker is owned by Amaya Gaming, the owner of the Ongame Network.
There was one other notable action involving IPN skins. William Hill acquired Sporting BetÂ’s regulated markets this year. Sporting Bet already offers dual online poker rooms to their players through their Paradise Poker brand. Their members may choose between Ongame and IPN skins.
Poker Heaven, historically one of the best choices on IPN in terms of player promotions and affiliate support, now offers Heavenbet.com to their players. Like the other IPN skins with dual platforms, HeavenBet is on the Ongame Network.
IPN has one large advantage over some of their competitors. It offers skins in a number of regulated markets. This includes Austria, Canada, Italy, Spain and Sweden, though three of these regulated markets are through state lotteries.
IPN Similarities to Cryptologic and Entraction
Cryptologic and Entraction both fell on hard times when they were unable to compete in regulated markets and their software was not improved at the same pace as market leaders. Both networks found their big partners leaving the network and traffic plummeted over the course of a couple of years. IPN appears to be on the same path.
The Boss Media was once home to some of the loosest games in the online poker universe. US players were accepted until the UIGEA passed in October 2006. The network was among the first to offer games in multiple currencies, including the formerly popular Turkish Lira tables.
The writing is on the wall for the International Poker Network. Traffic has declined by 30% for years. Now that skins are closing or creating Ongame skins it would seem that a network that was once a top ten room is headed to the same outcome that other European networks that failed to compete with the major competitors found themselves. The software will live on in regulated markets, but it appears that the main network’s days are numbered.
Interpoker Moving to Ongame Network
http://www.casinoaffiliateebook.com/2013/04/04/interpoker-moving-to-ongame-network/Interpoker has become the latest Boss Media/International Poker Network (IPN) skin to announce that they will be leaving the network. The move is expected to happen on or about April 27th.
Interpoker was once the flagship of the Cryptologic Network. The network fell on hards times after it left the US market post-UIGEA. The network closed in January 2009 after losing many licensees, including William Hill, Betfair and WPT Poker. IPN was the perfect fit for Interpoker as rakeback rates were the same and there were multiple currencies offered on both skins. IPN was also a higher volume online poker network at the time.
Interpoker will not grandfather in existing rakeback players. All players will be moved to a VIP program with the top tier paying 40% valueback.
