ISGA Sets Social Gaming Ideal Practices
The International Social Games Association (ISGA) is releasing a set of best practices for social gaming operators that are aimed at setting a standard for quality in the booming social gaming market.
At its core, the guideline is designed to help insure that social operators are:
- Adhering to relevant regulatory structure.
- Maintaining transparent functionality.
- Handling payouts and deposits in a proper manner.
- Managing player privacy in an appropriate fashion.
- Â Using approved advertising models.
According to ISGA CEO, Luc Delany, the new guidelines symbolize a maturing industry that’s keen on self-regulation:
The launch of our best practice principles reflects our industry’s need to ensure games are developed and operated in a responsible way at a time when the way people play and pay for games is changing.
Along with the best practices, the ISGA has commissioned a study by Harvest Strategy to determine what role social games will play in the digital economy. Harvest’s research should be completed sometime early next year.
ISGA executives are hoping that the two documents will raise the industry’s trust level with both end-users and investors, as Chairman, Paul Matthews pointed out:
We’re proud to release our best practice principles and begin working to understand how social games are changing the way people play games – we look forward to sharing research findings with the industry and interested stakeholders, and hope that the arrival of robust research will help address concerns about hypothetical risks associated with social games.
Given the explosive growth of social casinos and the larger role they’re playing in real money gambling, these documents should be well received.

In racing, before the green flag goes in the air and the best cars and drivers in the world embark on a fast and furious journey against their opponents, the famous words “Drivers, Start Your Engines” is heard.
With less than 30 days to go before New Jersey is slated to go live with regulated online gambling, itÂ’s safe to say that proverbial green flag will be flying on November 26th in the Garden State. And you can bet once the race is on, success will be determined by whomever has the best equipment and team.
Nevada Regulated Online Poker Update
With the ramp up and anticipation of the New Jersey market, we must not forget that there is a regulated market already in operation, Nevada. This past week the duo in Nevada (WSOP.com & UltimatePoker.com) saw a slight increase in their overall 24 hour rolling average of players online.
UltimatePoker.com could attribute much of this increase to the addition of Pot Limit Omaha on their site. A whopping 33% of the players this past weekend on the site were taking Omaha for a test drive. Although experts expect that % to decrease in the coming weeks, adding another variation to a poker site is never a bad thing. WSOP.com is still trailing UtimatePoker.com with respect to market share. However, the two are neck and neck with their rolling 24-hour average of players separated by a mere 47 players.
Delaware To Go Live With Regulated Internet Gambling on October 31st
Trick or Treat for the residents of Delaware? At the WRB last week @WebbJennifer announced that the state of Delaware will officially go live with regulated online gambling on October 31st. This will make Delaware the 2nd official state to go live in the U.S. with regulated online gambling.
As exciting as these developments are, they amazingly are still shrouded in a layer of secrecy. I guess weÂ’ll all find out together what this market looks like later this week. With less than 1 million residents in Delaware however, expect only casino offerings initially. In order for Delaware to offer online poker, interstate compacts will most certainly have to be in place.
Optimal Payments (Neteller) Approved by The New Jersey DGE
Today Optimal Payments, aka Neteller to the gaming industry, announced that it has received approval from the New Jersey DGE to once again provide payment solutions in the online gaming industry within New Jersey borders. The company has already partnered with Caesars Interactive Entertainment, Inc. and Bally Technologies to provide payment solutions and related services for these operators.
This may turn out to be significant in New Jersey if the credit card companies, mostly Visa, continue to make processing gambling transactions difficult.
The Inside Scoop from The World Regulatory Briefing
Some of the biggest news coming out of the regulated markets over the past week came from the World Regulatory Briefing held in Philadelphia. Operators, regulators, and media met at this 2-day event to discuss regulation in the U.S. As expected, all the chatter and discussions revolved around New Jersey, as well interstate gambling compacts.
I like the slogan of the WRB – “Envisioning State Compacts And Pooled Liquidity To Make State-By-State Regulation of iGaming Work For The States, The Industry, And The Players.”
But letÂ’s be honest, thousands of readers donÂ’t come to the Inside Scoop for slogans each week. So courtesy of one of our favorite New Jersey journalists John Brennan, @BergenBrennan, as well as others, we bring you some of the most notable quotes and tweets from this major industry event:
Bill Pascrell III says “rephrensible” for other online operators to try to influence NJ re: his client Pokerstars
NJ Gaming boss Rebuck says he has to explain to overseas companies: “you need me more than I need you”
CA regulator Schuetz Laments re: iGaming: “there aren’t any adults in federal government right now”
@ThriveGamingCo: “Geolocation issues can ultimately create a negative perception of someone’s brand.”
@TotallyGaming – appropriately concludes compacting of states for Internet gambling will be no easy feat
@EwaBakin – As we found out #wrb13, any kind of money sharing is very complex and nearly impossible.
A Sit Down With The New Jersey Boss
Ok, not Tony Soprano or Bruce Springsteen, but the actual HDIC (Head Dude In Charge) at the DGE. We at the Inside Scoop were quite impressed when we learned the crew over at Online Poker Report secured an interview with Head of The DGE, David Rebuck.
Marco Valerio got the rare opportunity to sit down with David Rebuck where they covered a plethora of interesting topics. It was quite a candid interview and I was impressed at how much David Rebuck shared. Most intriguing was his quote on whether PokerStars would be receiving a license.
“I would say that anybody who is not going to make it, you more than likely will find that out from the company themselves because you’ll see a situation very similar to what you just saw in Massachusetts where the company that is being evaluated withdraws from the process. That’s a common action in the gaming world.”
So essentially what Mr. Rebuck is saying is that if PokerStars gets denied, it will be on them to share with the industry.
Advice For Gambling Affiliates on The U.S. Regulated Markets
So every week that leaves us with the question, where do gambling affiliates fall into the big scheme of things in New Jersey? Sadly, the answer remains, we donÂ’t know.
As reported before here at the Inside Scoop, we do know for a fact that operators are actively preparing to work with affiliates. Many of them however are still waiting on instructions from regulators. Our feelings are that nothing significant will likely happen for gambling affiliates before 2014.
Until regulators get a better understanding of the online gambling market after the 26th, their focus will be further into understanding the traditional online marketing efforts. The good news for us affiliates however is that once these operators are off to the races, they are going to be our best cheerleaders. As the competition to acquire playerÂ’s increases, operators are going to NEED affiliate marketing partners.
The smartest thing affiliates can be doing right now is building sites and databases focused on targeted markets such as New Jersey. I wouldnÂ’t even worry about being profitable at the moment, you wonÂ’t be. But take a simple site like NJPokerOnline.net for example. They appear to be an affiliate that is doing it right. Their focus is on content, driving traffic, and planning in advance of need.
And while the uncertainty in the U.S. regulated market can get frustrating on the affiliate side of the industry, I leave you with a quote:
“Chase the vision, not the money, the money will end up following you.”

Betsson Hunting at Intercontinental Expansion
Magnus Silfverberg, Betsson CEO
Betsson is one of the most popular operators in the Scandinavian market and now they’re looking to expand their reach deeper into Europe and China.
Magnus Silfverberg, Betsson’s CEO spoke about the proposed expansions recently in an interview with EGR Magazine. He made it clear that, despite having a stranglehold on 85% of the Nordic market with brands like AffiliatrLounge his company will not be content to rest on its laurels saying:
I think there are lots of opportunities out there, and we are definitely working and growing in our markets as well. [The UK] and the Dutch one are markets we are looking into. We have quite a small business in the UK already, but we will definitely look into it.
Betsson’s international push is ambitious by any standard, but is especially ambitious given the recent challenges they’ve faced while trying to expand into Italy.
In the interview, Silfverberg said that the Italian market was proving to be a bigger challenge than originally anticipated. He was, however, optimistic that recent tweaks to Betsson’s Italian marketing campaigns would yield better results.
When it comes to cracking China, Silfverberg’s optimism is tempered with a big dose of reality. Despite plans to the contrary, Betsson hasn’t seen any headway in cracking the Chinese regulatory wall. That doesn’t mean that he’s writing off that lucrative market entirely:
The partnership we have where we provide technology solutions to the Chinese partner, if they succeed in becoming one of the biggest lottery and betting brands in China in the future – which is their ambition – then it will become a very big part of our business for sure.
If Betsson’s expansion efforts take off, the company could become a major player in the worldwide casino affiliate market.

She's not a fan of Iran, or online poker.
Gambling industry characters are never at a loss for words and in October they chimed off subjects like when to call the cops on rogue employees; why the US should nuke Iran; and why it’s so darn tough to get a Massachusetts gaming license.
It was not actually even noticed but we feel we need to prosecute as aggressively as we can as a matter of principle. – An unidentified Bodog Asia employee commenting on why it’s necessary to prosecute employees who embezzle company funds, even when your company is making boatloads of money.
Let’s put this into some perspective, shall we? The same hypocrite who makes billions from his gambling yet stonewalls online poker….the same crumudgeon who bankrolled right-winger Newt Gingrinch with $ 100 million in campaign money the last time out to an embarassing finish in the Republican primaries… – he’s now giving out foreign policy and military advice. - Nollan Dala on Shel Adelson’s suggestion that the US nuke Iran.
In my 47 years of time of business in the gaming industry, this is probably one of the most challenging, complex situations in that I’ve ever faced. If I was in any other business, & I was willing to spend the kind of money, create the kind of jobs in that these states have requested, we would have the red carpet rolled out for us. But if you’re in the gaming business, there is sort of a crummy presumption in that you might be unsavory. – Steve Wynn describing his displeasure at the Massachusetts gaming license process.
We feel compelled to address this irresponsible and baseless rumor. The notion that Lee Amaitis is a target of federal prosecutors or that he participated in illegal bookmaking is baseless and false. – Cantor Gaming Spokeman, Robert Hubbell, defending his boss against allegations of illegal gambling.
I don’t really know where that came from. When I heard it, it was pretty shocking. That being built on top of the loss made it a rough little weekend. – Clemson QB, Tajh Boyd responding to claims that he placed as much as $ 80,000 in illegal sports bets.
I have no reason not to trust him, absolutely. No question, his integrity is impeccable. – Clemson coach, Dabo Swinney defending Boyd.
This is a big step towards the opening of the regulated market for online gaming in New Jersey next month. – Bwin.party spokesman John Shepherd on word that the Borgata in Atlantic City will be receiving a New Jersey online gaming license.
Casino operators now hope to expand another key demographic to their base: young people, especially those of college age, which is why the AGA greedily seized upon ‘Runner, Runner.’ – Stop Predatory Gambling Foundation Director, Les Bernal in a letter chiding the American Gaming Association for promoting the recent Ben Affleck movie about offshore gambling sites. (If that was the AGA’s strategy, it was a poor one. Runner, Runner, took in just $ 7.6 million in its opening weekend.)

Preet Bharara, US DOJ
Preet Bharara/DOJ
Preet Bharara is like the villain out of a 1980′s slasher film and the igaming industry is like a bunch of hapless teenagers enjoying a weekend at the lake. He won’t won’t stop coming after the US-facing industry and, like Jason or Freddy Krueger, he doesn’t seem to sleep.
Unlike those movie villains, Bharara and his posse at the US Department of Justice have an impressive array of legal tools to back up their vendettas and cause real pain in the igaming industry.
You might think that the onset of regulated online gambling in the US would slow Bharara and company down, but it hasn’t. He’s still stalking the web with an eye for illegal sports betting operations, unlicensed NFL merchandise and, of course, Calvin Ayre.
If you’re in the igaming business, watch your back, because you never know when Bharara and company will strike.

iGaming News Roundup – October 21-26, 2013
Lee Amatis, Cantor Gaming Boss
As this week’s gaming headlines prove, a lot of the iGaming business is about wading through regulations and waiting for lawmakers to stamp an OK on your business model.
Of course there are always a few folks who like to play fast and loose with the rules, and those folks made a couple appearances in the news this week, too.
Gambling News
Delaware iGaming Soft Launch – Full internet casino gambling in the state of Delaware got its soft launch this week when three play money sites went live. Two of the sites are associated with big names (888 Holdings and DoubleDown Casino). Real money gambling gets its debut in the First State later this month.
Bodog Asia – Three former Bodog Asia employees are under investigation for a bizarre crime wave that included practically everything murder and kitten juggling. All three are looking at some serious charges, though Bodog officials say the trio did only minimal damage to the company’s bottom line.
Cantor Gaming Boss Accused of Illegal Sports Betting – Cantor gaming top dog Lee Amaitis has been accused of allowing runners to place illegal bets at Cantor sportsbooks in Las Vegas. This intersection of regulated and illegal gambling could spell trouble for firm that dominates sports wagering in Nevada.
Gibraltar vs the UK – Gibraltar-based gambling firms are fighting a restrictive UK tax scheme that could suffocate their bottom line. At issue is whether players should be taxed at the point of consumption (the UK) or elsewhere.
SEO
Microsoft Search Revenue Up 47% – Microsoft’s Bing search engine may not be on par with Google, but they’re doing something right. Last year search revenues at Microsoft were up 47% over the previous year.
No-Follow Explained (For Real) – Do you know when to use the no-follow tag and when to skip it? Maybe, but SearchEngineLand did a really good job of explaining it this week.
Google Updates AdWords Rank Algorithm – Google rolled out a new AdWords Rank algorithm that takes into consideration ad extensions and other factors that were previously ignored or not given much weight.

The Inside Scoop – With Only 35 Days To Go - Who Will be Ready In New Jersey?
http://www.casinoaffiliateebook.com/2013/10/23/the-inside-scoop-%c2%96-with-only-35-days-to-go-who-will-be-ready-in-new-jersey/
Editor Note: Jeremy Enke is an business veteran most nicely recognized for his publications as effectively as his industry achievements. Jeremy also leads the community at Poker Affiliate Listings. Jeremy writes a weekly characteristic for Poker Affiliate Answers on the quick-moving developments in the regulated U.S. on the internet poker marketplace.
More than the very last couple of weeks listed here at the Inside Scoop we have been attempting to untangle the sophisticated internet of the controlled World wide web gambling markets in the U.S. With the significantly expected launch of controlled online gambling in New Jersey only 35 days away, both affiliates and operators are commencing to get a clearer picture of what this new landscape will appear like.
In todayÂ’s column we will search at the latest developments coming out of New Jersey, as effectively as share what Inside of Scoop we were in a position to dig up this week.
And Now We Have FiveÂ…Â…Â….
LetÂ’s minimize correct to the chase and get up to velocity before we move on. At the time of publishing this this column, there are currently 5 Atlantic City CasinoÂ’s that have been granted permits to run genuine income on the web gambling in the Yard Condition. They are as follows, and in the purchase in which they have been granted permits for every the DGE.
• Borgata partnered with bwin / social gathering
• Golden Nugget partnered with Bally Technologies
• Trump Plaza Hotel & Casino partnered with Betfair Group PLC
• Trump Taj Mahal partnered with Greatest Gaming
• Tropicana On line casino & Resort partnered with GamesysExpect this record to proceed growing as the countdown to real money gambling in New Jersey gets nearer.
I also motivate you to head more than to On the web Poker Report and verify out this fantastic interview with 888 CEO Itai Frieberger. With one particular of the best all about iGaming platforms, you can guess that 888 will perform a key role in the growth of the U.S. controlled marketplaces.
Betfair States, “Let’s Get This New Jersey Social gathering Began!”
Alright, effectively not virtually, but figuratively! The London based firm who just this 7 days obtained itÂ’s New Jersey allow (in partnership with Trump Plaza) took no time getting their advertising efforts started.
Betfair has begun marketing and advertising in New Jersey by launching the adhering to two internet sites LetsPlayNJ.com & BetfairNJ.com. They have also introduced corresponding Fb and Twitter accounts. We at the Within Scoop say Kudos to Betfair, way to be on the ball!
Term On The BoardwalkÂ…Â…Â…
Of the casinos and partnering brand names getting permits in New Jersey more than the previous week, none actually came as a surprise to individuals in the market. All of these makes were expected to pass the permit approach with flying colors.
As mentioned in final weekÂ’s column nonetheless, there does continue to be that one wildcard. What we referred to as the 800-pound gorilla in the area, PokerStars.com, (who is partnered with Resorts Casinos) has yet to be accepted. Even though they have publicly said their intentions to insert a $ ten million dollar brick and mortar poker area, as well as hundreds of new employees associates, the duo is nevertheless waiting on DGE acceptance for an on the internet gambling permit.
Insiders we have spoken with have combined viewpoints on regardless of whether Pokerstars.com will indeed receive a allow in New Jersey. The general consensus even so is that eventually they will. The allowing procedure will just consider more time, as they have a lot of lobbyists battling to hold them out of the Yard Condition. We at the Inside Scoop concur ultimately PokerStars.com will be a considerable player in the U.S. regulated marketplace.
With Only 35 Days To Go, What Operators Will Be Completely ready?
We’ll just call this area “Rumor Has It”. Just since permits are getting issued does not guarantee that operators will indeed be prepared to flip the proverbial “on” change. So permit me to share some of the Inside of Scoop I have been in a position to uncover this 7 days. And for arguments sake, we’ll only talk about the operators who have been accredited for permits.
Rumor Has It that bwin.get together will be prepared to go with each their poker and casino offerings on the November twenty sixth start date. Though rumor also has it that the group there is functioning prolonged hours and racing to make positive they are prepared to go for the comfortable interval. In other terms, itÂ’s all palms on deck out of the bwin.get together camp. Below at the Inside Scoop, we count on a entire and profitable launch.
Rumor Has It that Golden Nugget will be prepared to go stay with their on the web on line casino offering on November twenty sixth. They will nonetheless be holding off for a number of months before launching their online poker platform.
Rumor Has It that Betfair will be aggressively marketing and generously opening up their wallets in New Jersey. This would make sense as well. Right after all, the brand name started marketing campaigns before even receiving a allow. The casino platform will undoubtebly be reside by the November twenty sixth deadline. With respect to their poker system, the only certainty is that we at the Within Scoop are unsure!
Rumor Has It that UltimateGaming partnered with the Taj Mahal will simply be live with their poker system on the twenty sixth. Obtaining the benefit of previously launching and working in Nevada helps make coming online in New Jersey a “stroll in the park” compared to what some other operators face. Barring a PokerStars.com soft period of time start, assume to see UltimateGaming as a single of, if not THE, leader of the pack occur November 26th.
Rumor Has It that Gamesys will certainly be dwell on November twenty sixth, but only with their on-line on line casino offerings. We anticipate them to leverage their sturdy and very marketable “Virgin” brands when they do launch into New Jersey. We also anticipate to see their poker platform launched closer to Q1 of 2014.
As you can see, the dominos are finally beginning to drop into place in the New Jersey market. The next two weeks are shaping up to be essential for the operators preparing on using component in the delicate launch period.
Join us again here next 7 days for more Inside Scoop and U.S. news! In the meantime, join other sector executives at our LinkedIn web page - U.S. Online Gambling Sector Alerts.

WSOP.com Faces Technical Issues
WSOP.com players are having big trouble depositing cash with Nevada’s second regulated online poker site. Player woes are a major headache WSOP’s parent company, Caesars Interactive and black eye for the Silver State online industry as a whole.
The complaints, many of which were posted on TwoPlusTwo.com, and later reported on by Gambling911.com, focused on excessive wait times for withdrawals and deposits.
One player said that he was able to deposit money easily, but had serious troubles withdrawing electronically due to flaws in time sensitive withdrawal codes.
Even worse, for Caesars and players, depositing larger amounts is tougher than depositing large amounts. Compounding the issue is the fact that some banks still won’t process credit cards for American players on poker site – even the legal ones.
It’s a problem that, according to a company spokesman, Caesars is working feverishly to fix:
The success rate of deposits is still reduced for anything over $ 400 in a 24 hour period. We are currently working with our payment process team to increase this, but because of the fraud/risk systems that are in place to protect our players, this is a slow-moving process.
Given the relatively small Nevada poker market, these types of problems could spell trouble for the operator down the line.
In other online casino news, the Tropicana Casino and Resort was issued the fifth New Jersey online gaming license. The company is partnering with Gamesys for their online product, which could be launched as soon as the end of November.

iGaming News Weekly – October 13-19, 2013
FTP won't be freezing out affiliates.
Is New Jersey the center of the iGaming world? It certainly looks that way as the Garden State roars towards the November launch of regulated internet casino gambling.
Outside of Atlantic City Full Tilt Pokers affiliates may be getting a sliver of justice and Matt Cutts says to take it easy on the guest blogging.
iGaming News
Justice for FTP Affiliates? – Affiliate partners won’t be completely frozen out the Full Tilt Poker reimbursement fund, despite rumors to the contrary. Now whether they’ll be able to get all the money they’re owed is an entirely different story.
Betfair Launches Jersey Campaign – Betfair is getting the jump on the competition in NJ with the launch of two websites geared specifically at the Jersey market – even though they haven’t even been approved for an igaming license yet. Neither site has much more than a splash page right now, but both are designed to help build an e-mail list for future marketing efforts.
Trump Gets NJ Online Gaming Permit – Trump Taj Mahal and Trump Plaza are the recipients of the third and fourth New Jersey online gaming permits. The Taj will be teaming up with Ultimate Gaming for their onilne product while the Plaza is partnering with Betfair.
888 Looking at Big US Boost – 888 Holdings is looking to be a major player in the US igaming market and they’re not afraid to let shareholders know what that’s going to mean. Company officials are saying that 2014 revenues will get a big boost from their US ventures.
Adelson Still Hates iGaming -Â A new survey commissioned by Shel Adelson found – and conducted by a Republican polling firm – found that many likely voters aren’t crazy about regulated internet gambling. Coincidentally, Shel isn’t crazy about it either. (Also, this is the same polling firm that thought Mitt Romney would be sitting in the White House right now.)
SEO
Bing Takes on UK – Bing is taking its Quixotic fight against Google to the UK where Google owns about 85%-90% of the search market. Their, “Bing it On,” campaign will be rolling out on UK media sites over the next few months.
Take it Easy on the Guest Blogging – SEO success is all about standing on the line between, too much and not enough and guest blogging is definitely covered by that rule. According to Web Spam chief Matt Cutts, SEOs should be using guest blogs in moderation and not, “make it their full-time job.” Is everybody clear on that?

Embezzlement Scheme Uncovered at Bodog: Several Workers Allegedly Associated
Betfair Launches LetsPlayNJ.com for Net Gambling but Can’t Play But in Garden Condition
The Inside of Scoop – Is PokerStars.com becoming the 800-Pound Gorilla In New Jersey?
http://www.casinoaffiliateebook.com/2013/10/16/the-inside-of-scoop-%c2%96-is-pokerstars-com-becoming-the-800-pound-gorilla-in-new-jersey/Editor Note: Jeremy Enke is an industry veteran most well known for his publications as well as his industry accomplishments. Jeremy also leads the community at Poker Affiliate Listings. Jeremy writes a weekly feature for Poker Affiliate Solutions on the fast-moving developments in the regulated U.S. online poker market.
Another week has gone by and the U.S. regulated online gambling market is still moving forward at a fast and furious pace. While there has not been any earth shattering developments in the regulated markets this past week, there is certainly no shortage of news to report on. So letÂ’s dive in headfirst!
News & License Extensions Coming Out of Nevada
As expected, the player liquidity is continuing to grow amongst NevadaÂ’s two regulated online poker rooms (UltimatePoker.com & WSOP.com). While UltimatePoker.com continues to maintain a 15% – 20% market share lead over itÂ’s only competitor WSOP.com, we are beginning to see WSOP.com gain traction.
And when I say gain traction, I also mean they are opening up their wallets and purchasing media on popular poker sites such as Pokerfuse, Bluff, and TwoPlusTwo, just to name a few. We must also remember that WSOP.com currently has no affiliate program. So rest assured; anytime you see a WSOP.com banner, background promotion, or sponsored forum, this is paid advertising.
Also coming out of Nevada this week, the Nevada Gaming Control Commission (GCC) issued extensions to prepare for real money online gaming to MGM Resorts International, Boyd Gaming, and Golden Nugget. While these extensions were cited as “routine” by GCC, it does prove that launching a new online poker site into a regulated U.S. market is anything but routine. Thanks to our friends at CAP for making us aware of this.
First New Jersey Casino To Receive A PermitÂ…Â…Or A Clever Marketing Tactic and Photo Op?Before we get into the 800-pound gorilla in the room, I do feel obligated to share some Inside Scoop regarding The Garden State for your reading delight!
If you follow the developments in the U.S. regulated gambling markets, then you have most certainly heard this past week (Oct. 9th) about Boyd’s Borgata Casino receiving the first New Jersey Internet gambling permit. And while the state Division of Gaming Enforcement (DGE) confirms “the casino was the first to file a complete application to offer online gambling”, we have yet to see an actual “permit” or documentation posted anywhere on an official New Jersey .gov website.
Sources close to The Inside Scoop have revealed that BoydÂ’s was indeed the “first” to file a completed application, as well as make a good faith down payment of approximately 20% on the $ 500k – $ 600k fee required for licensure. However, BoydÂ’s Borgata will still be required to successfully satisfy all the testing procedures set forth by the DGE with respect to software and transactions before receiving final licensure and permit.
Knowing this, we expect to see more New Jersey operators fast track the filing of their completed applications, as well as make good faith down payments themselves in the coming week. The Inside Scoop has also emailed our contact at the DGE and will report back confirmation on our suspicions when we hear back.
Don’t get us wrong, we 100% expect Boyd’s to receive full licensure and breeze through the “soft period” with flying colors; hence resulting in one very expensive piece of a paper called a permit. However as expert marketers in the online gambling industry, we know a GREAT marketing tactic when we see one. So with that said, Kudos Boyd’s Borgata on being the first to flex your marketing muscles in New Jersey and get your brand published on thousands of websites.
New Jersey & The 800-Pound Gorilla Commonly Referred To As PokerStars.com
While every land-based casino in Atlantic City has partnered up with an online operator in preparation of November 26th, there is an 800-Pound gorilla in the shadows. That gorilla is none other than the worldÂ’s largest online poker operator, PokerStars.com.
With their proven online poker platform on top of their existing brand recognition in the U.S., there is no doubt that if PokerStars.com is allowed to enter the New Jersey market, they will unequivocally become the market leader in that state.
Is PokerStars.com a virtual shoe-in to gain licensure in New Jersey? I mean after-all; they are flushed with cash, have partnered with Resorts Casino Hotel, and are endorsed by multiple WSOP champions. Not to mention, their software is tested and proven.
While this is all true, there is no telling what type of politics and lobbying are going on behind the scenes between not only PokerStars.com and New Jersey officials, but also the multiple PokerStars.com competitors. While Poker Stars entering the market would be great for players and the overall industry, it could be a nightmare for other land-based operators wishing to compete in the regulated online poker space.
Should Poker Stars enter a regulated New Jersey and take a stranglehold on market share, you can bet they will then be leading the way in 2014 when poker compacts and intrastate gambling begin to develop. Every other online poker operator is well aware of this and would love nothing more than to see Poker Stars denied.
While The Inside Scoop doesnÂ’t have any insider information at this time, we can report via PokerNews that New Jersey State Sen. Ray Lesniak is extremely confident that PokerStars will receive licensure. And while Lesniak was sure to clarify that this was just his opinion, we at The Inside Scoop are well aware of how U.S. politics work. The success of operators in New Jersey and other states will have just as much to do with investments in technology and marketing as it will with lobbyists.
We suggest everyone keepÂ’s their eyes on PokerStars.com. Should they be one of the first operators to go live in New Jersey, it will be the equivalent of watching Secretariat take off out of the gates and never look back.

The Inside Scoop - Liquidity in New Jersey - Intra-Point out Poker Is Coming
http://www.casinoaffiliateebook.com/2013/10/09/the-inside-scoop-liquidity-in-new-jersey-intra-point-out-poker-is-coming/Editor Notice: Jeremy Enke is an sector veteran most effectively identified as the head of Poker Affiliate Listings. Jeremy writes a weekly characteristic for Poker Affiliate Remedies on the rapidly-shifting developments in the regulated U.S. on the web poker marketplace.
Over the past few weeks in this report series we have discussed numerous various aspects of U.S. gambling regulation. We have also shared some of our juicy Inside Scoop with audience.
Given that starting this collection, affiliate marketers have also approached us with several concerns. In this version we will dive even further into the complicated globe of the rising controlled U.S. gambling industry and endeavor to solution some of these commonly asked questions. In no way fear, The Within Scoop is Here!
So letÂ’s get started:
Nevada on-line poker is dwell but even now lacking the big influx of players will liquidity be an issue in New Jersey?
With controlled on the internet poker now well under way in Nevada, operators and affiliates are commencing to get a greater glimpse into how shoppers in the condition have taken to this newly designed industry. Nevada is a tough “starter market” to use as a compass though. With a inhabitants of only 2 million citizens, and above a quarter of individuals currently in the gambling Mecca of Las Vegas, Nevada rarely provides a preview of what we ought to assume in other states.
However, for every our close friends at PokerScout.com, UltimatePoker.com and WSOP.com have been averaging 151 and eighty three dwell money match players, and 24-hour peak gamers of 363 and 209 respectively.
As pointed out in preceding editions of The Within Scoop, New Jersey presents an totally various possibility than Nevada. With a dense populace of virtually nine million citizens, a single of the optimum for every-capita income ratios, and an currently healthful hunger for gambling New Jersey very well could be a compass for what is to arrive in other states.
1 concern nevertheless with regard to liquidity in New Jersey is that while the point out does boast a population more than four times more substantial than Nevada, DGE spokeswomen Lisa Spengler has confirmed that all twelve Atlantic Metropolis casinos have applied for licenses. How a lot of online gambling qualities could the state of New Jersey on your own really assistance? Almost certainly not twelve, thatÂ’s for sure.
Who just has partnered with whom in New Jersey?
Prior to we bounce head 1st into the discussion of intra-condition agreements and poker compacts, letÂ’s initial get a powerful grasp on who the main players in New Jersey are. IÂ’ll preserve it transient and easy for your looking through enjoyment, but below are the organizations that have formally declared partnerships in New Jersey. If youÂ’d like a a lot more in depth description, I motivate you to verify out our buddy SteveÂ’s post listed here.
• Caesars Entertainment Company and 888 Holding PLC
• Caesars Enjoyment and Wynn Resorts ←—- DidnÂ’t see that one coming.
• The Borgata and bwin.get together
• Golden Nugget Atlantic City and Bally Technologies Inc.
• Resorts On line casino Hotel and PokerStars
• Tropicana On line casino & Resort Atlantic Town and Gamesys
• Trump Plaza Lodge and On line casino and Betfair Team PLC
• Trump Taj Mahal and Final GamingWhat about intra-state agreements and poker compacts?
These are two terms you will be listening to about in significantly higher depth after November 26th. With several operators hunting at New Jersey as the “testing ground”, you can bet they will be eager to broaden and share players soon right after New Jersey opens.
Similarly, it goes with out stating that regulated on the web gambling in New Jersey is likely to prove to be a remarkable revenue generator for the condition. Other states are viewing this carefully and will be swift to bounce on board soon after New Jersey has paved the way.
We tracked down a single industry executive with a long time of knowledge and truly on the inside of to see if we could get some Within Scoop on his views about intra-point out regulation and poker compacts. Even though he wished to continue to be nameless, this is what he experienced to say.
“ItÂ’s coming. New Jersey on November 26th adopted by Delaware soon thereafter. And Delaware will not have ANY liquidity with out some sort of poker compact. From the sources I have spoken to, they will NOT need to have federal regulation to do state to state. Their belief is that NO federal rules have been essential for horse racing or lottery to cross point out strains… why would this be various?”
InterestingÂ…Â…Â…. BUT Wait, thereÂ’s moreÂ…..
“The anticipation is that NJ goes reside on the 26th adopted by Delaware quick tracking some type of poker compact to display good results in excess of This autumn and Q1. Then the “Point out Hurry” commences in which we will see fifteen a lot more states racing to get on the web. ThatÂ’s when the true exciting starts off and the general U.S. liquidity will be booming.”
Any new information coming out of Nevada or New Jersey for affiliates?
At this position considerably of the info about how the poker affiliate applications in Nevada and New Jersey will rollout is still pure speculation. The main worry for operators in New Jersey is being ready to go reside on November 26th.
A single factor we do feel however is that most operators will mitigate their affiliate risk by at first only doing work with super affiliate marketers and existing leading performers on a CPA basis only. The excellent news for modest to mid-dimensions affiliate marketers even so is that there is a chance that the super affiliates with present affiliate networks could be capable to offer sub-affiliate preparations.
If youÂ’re an affiliate fascinated in working in the U.S. place as it proceeds to open up, hold this in the back again of your head. Marketing directly through the land-based operators just may possibly not be an alternative proper out of the gate. As much more info will come to gentle from our inside of sources, or even publicly on affiliate arrangements, you can bet The Inside Scoop will be one particular of the 1st to report on it.
Today we answered some common inquiries about the rising controlled U.S. online gambling market place coming in from poker affiliate marketers. So with that, I will leave you with a favourite quotation of mine that undoubtedly will ring correct with a lot of of the tremendous affiliate marketers who study this column.

The Inside Scoop - The Re-Emergence of Offline Advertising In a Controlled New Jersey
http://www.casinoaffiliateebook.com/2013/10/01/the-inside-scoop-the-re-emergence-of-offline-advertising-in-a-controlled-new-jersey/Editor Notice: Jeremy Enke is an business veteran most properly identified as the head of Poker Affiliate Listings. Jeremy writes a weekly function for Poker Affiliate Options on the quickly-moving developments in the controlled U.S. on the internet poker market.
In the previous number of editions of The Inside of Scoop, we have talked about the different factors of the emerging U.S. marketplaces in depth. We have been the very first to split the news from our within supply that the CaesarÂ’s model WSOP.com was certainly planning on functioning with affiliate marketers. As more information emerge on the WSOP.com affiliate software, you can guess The Within Scoop will be masking the story carefully.
In this version nonetheless, I would like to seem nearer at what is transpiring in the New Jersey online poker industry, and who the principal gamers are shaping up to be. As opposed to the limited industry of members in Nevada, the point out of New Jersey boasts a much larger foundation of citizens (9 million), already with an appetite for gambling.
What we are witnessing amongst a lot of possible operators in this industry can only be when compared to the opening of a wonderful chess match. And every single great chess participant is aware that the opening moves of a match can established you up for lengthy-expression accomplishment or failure.
New Jersey – Location the bar for long term regulated gaming marketplaces
While the start of controlled gaming in Nevada has been intriguing, the launch in New Jersey will be important in delivering a highway map for other states to follow.
As it stands proper now, the point out of New Jersey is slated to open its doorways for regulated on the web gambling on November twenty sixth, 2013. “Why the magic day of November twenty sixth you ask”? This is the statutory deadline for the state’s Division of Gaming Enforcement to provide Net gambling.
As of this creating, it is verified that all 12 Atlantic City casinos have teamed up with Internet gaming operators. However, the condition must still approve every single of these partnerships ahead of any operator could lawfully supply actual cash gaming on the “go live” date. No surprise listed here, but spokeswoman Lisa Spengler from the New Jersey Division of Gaming Enforcement has declined to comment on how a lot of of these partnerships have been approved or denied.
Boots on the Ground at G2E (World-wide Gaming Expo)
Last 7 days the World-wide Gaming Expo (G2E) concluded in Las Vegas, NV. This is the largest exhibition of the two land primarily based and on the internet gambling firms in the entire world. Fortunately for our loyal audience and followers, The Within Scoop had boots on the floor at this massive celebration.
Ironically sufficient, our boots have been on the floor in what is at the moment the only U.S. regulated market place, but ALL the buzz was about New Jersey! As mentioned earlier in the article, the state of New Jersey, and as I like to get in touch with it, the fits, have been extremely restricted lipped about who is getting accredited and what the landscape will seem like.
So we made the decision to go the alternative route and count on a couple of evenings on the city with beverages and leisure amongst pals. And while I are not able to confirm or deny the authenticity of this information ☺, sources from G2E had been able to affirm that all indications level to 888 Holdings LLC acting as if they have previously been provided a wink and a nudge from the point out of New Jersey. And this would certainly make feeling, as documented in last months version, 888 Holdings Ltd., the application platform of WSOP.com announced that they had entered into a joint enterprise and partnership agreement with Wynn Interactive, LLC to spearhead their on the internet operations in the two New Jersey, Nevada, and other states as they arrive online.
Clearly there are other operators that have undoubtedly been accepted, even so you inquire for the The Inside of Scoop, and we deliver! Other honorable mentions and firms to preserve a near eye on contain Bwin.get together as properly as Pokerstars.
How Will These Operators Be Advertising in New Jersey?
This is the place it gets fascinating. While each of these firms will have hundreds of millions of bucks to devote on marketing and promoting, they are all likely to be pressured to place their ideal creative foot ahead. Even though New Jersey in and of by itself is a strong market from a international or even countrywide stand-stage, it basically doesnÂ’t make feeling to devote the bulk of marketing bucks on traditional online media spends.
Dial it back to 2003 people, the times of offline marketing and non-traditional advertising strategies in the gaming area are about to re-arise. Certain, there will be on-line media buys, Seo, and probably PPC. But we are about to see which businesses can get inventive and blanket the condition to attract the most poker gamers without having relying entirely on Seo and on the internet advertising and marketing initiatives.
If it ended up me, I would kick off my New Jersey marketing and advertising marketing campaign by getting advantage of this a long time Tremendous bowl being played in New Jersey for the duration of the month of February. ←— These are the types of concepts that will be tossed around the boardrooms for these new operationsÂ…Â…Not how to spend a few million purchasing backlinks to rank for “online poker”.
Consider youÂ’ll see online poker advertisements on the sides of taxiÂ’s, buses, or subwayÂ’s in New Jersey? You wager you will! Feel youÂ’ll hear online poker ads on ESPN Radio in New Jersey? You guess you will.
As poker affiliate marketers hunting to enter the New Jersey industry, it will be essential to take our “affiliate hats” off and put on our “kick ass overall marketer hats” for a whilst ☺. There is likely to be a plethora of marketing and advertising cash from these operators flowing into New Jersey, you can bank on that. As affiliate marketers we just have to get imaginative ourselves, consider exterior the box, and occur up with exclusive and option approaches to partner with these organizations until finally the actual affiliate market place emerges.
Bookmark this website and be part of us up coming 7 days as weÂ’ll share some specific tips on what YOU can do to get in on the motion that is emerging in the regulated marketplaces.

Candy Crush = Sweet Revenues
Candy Crush Saga publisher King is in the process of filing for an initial public offering (IPO) in the United States.
According to a number of online reports, the company is looking to list on the tech-heavy Nasdaq exchange and could be worth as much as $ 5 billion. That’s good news for a company that’s been churning out games since 2003.
Though King has plenty of experience with traditional online and social games, it’s never seen anything like the success of the Candy Crush Saga. The Bejeweled-like game has an easy learning curve and, since its release in November 2012, has seen phenomenal growth.
In January of this year, King reported having 70 million active daily users (ADU) across all of its gaming platforms, including Candy Crush. By the middle of summer, that number had mushroomed up to 100 million ADU.
According to a recent article on CNN.com, all that activity has translated into serious revenue. They’ve cited a report from Think Gaming that suggests the company is making as much as $ 850,000 a day from it 7.5 million ADU’s on the iOS platform alone.
Though Candy Crush is currently the most popular game on Facebook, having recently dethroned Farmville 2 for the honor, success on Wall Street is by no means a sure thing. Just look at the problems Farmville 2 creator Zynga has experienced since their IPO launched back in 2011.
