Is Full Tilt Preparing to Return?

It has been quite some time since Full Tilt Poker has made headlines, but the company is finally back in the public eye. A recent report claims that Full Tilt Poker has reapplied for its gambling license, a positive step forward for the infamous online poker operator.

The first sign that the company had started its re-launch plans came with an influx of job posting for Pocket Kings, the company that operators Full Tilt Poker. Several career listings for the company were posted earlier this week, leading players to believe that Full Tilt was readying itself for a return to the online gambling world.

Another sign is the fact that Orinic has applied for a new gambling license. While this may not seem like big news, the company is actually very closely related to Full Tilt, as Orinic previously had plans to launch Full Tilt Poker in the Swiss gambling market.

While it may just be wishful thinking, we have reason to believe that Full Tilt Poker is preparing to make a triumphant comeback to the world of online poker. Over the course of the past few months, other companies have failed to take its place has a high-quality online poker website – and many players eagerly await its return.

Can Zynga Make It on Its Own?

It’s been coming for a long time now, but Zynga has finally made the leap. The social games developer has finally launched its own stand-alone website, no longer connected to the Facebook Games platform. The gaming world has some mixed feelings about this new development but Zynga is optimistic about the venture.

Zynga Direct would be a profitable business venture for the company. After all, Zynga is worth billions of dollars already and has millions of players on Facebook – but will those players migrate to the new Zynga Direct site? We’re fairly certain that the main reason people play social games on Facebook is that they are convenient, so wouldn’t logging into a new site to play the same games defeat the purpose?

The new website is currently being tested as a Beta. There are five games available: Castleville, Cityville, Zynga Poker, Hidden Chronicles and Words with Friends. As the site continues to see increased success, Zynga will continue to launch new games on the new platform.

It will provide great experience for Zynga, in preparation for the launch of the company’s online casino. The success of Zynga Direct could be a sign that Zynga is ready for the online gambling world.

BoDog.com Seized by American Government

BoDog was one of the world’s most recognizable online sportsbetting brands. Owned by Calvin Ayre, the online betting site offered New Zealand punters the chance to wager on a wide range of sporting events, including football, rugby, tennis and basketball. Now, much to the dismay of punters from across the country, BoDog.com’s domain has been seized by the American government.

Ayre was brought up on charges of money laundering and running an illegal gambling operation. He has been indicted for the charges, but there is no word yet on how the authorities will proceed.

This is just one of the many unfortunate cases, Full Tilt Poker underwent the same treatment last year. The American government is working hard to shut down online gambling websites which operate in the country – but in the process, they are putting other nations at a disadvantage.

Now, players in New Zealand and all around the world will have to find an alternative to BoDog.com. It will prove to be quite difficult, as BoDog seemed to be at the top of its game in the online sportsbetting market.

Zynga Poker Revenue in the Billions

Zynga Poker is the most popular play-money online poker application for residents of New Zealand. Millions of users across the country and around the world log into the Facebook accounts every day just to play this particular game. Some players only have Facebook accounts just so that they can play on Zynga Poker.

So, it is no wonder that Zynga Poker is a profitable online game. What you may not be aware of, however, is the fact that the application brought in over $1 billion in revenue last year – $1.14 billion to be exact.

While Zynga Poker is a free-play casino game, the app generates a great deal of money through ad revenue. Players can also purchase chips when they run low on their play money funds. Together, these two sources of revenue have made Zynga the most profitable free-play casino game ever.

So, it is little surprise that Zynga would be considering entering the online gambling market. The company has expressed interested in working with online casino brands to introduce pay-to-play games in the online gambling world. Using Zynga Poker’s profitability as a guide, we believe that this venture would be a successful one.

Couples’ Relationship Satisfaction Linked to Gaming

Online gaming is currently one of the most popular leisure activities in the world. Believe it or not, more and more adults are spending an increasing amount of time playing games online, making it a substantial hobby. As such, it becomes an important issue in many relationships today, affecting how successful a couple is, romantically.

Brigham Young University has recently published a study that confirms this. The study has found that couples who enjoy playing online games together experience higher rates of satisfaction in their relationships. 76% of the couples interviewed who play games together reported being happy in their relationships, while 70% of couples in which only one partner games have relationship problems.

However, the study also found that if one partner is more experienced than the other, it could lead to relationship troubles. They may get frustrated if their romantic counterpart cannot keep up.

We suppose the fact remains that all couples who enjoy at least one mutual activity will experience more satisfaction in their relationships. Whether it’s playing online poker or console video games, if couples enjoy the same things, they will be happier together.

Poker Stars Launches Mobile Gambling Application

It seems that iTunes is becoming increasingly lenient about its online gambling regulations. Previously, the company would not allow developers to sell real-money gambling applications in its marketplace, causing Full Tilt Poker’s Rush Poker app to be banned. Now, just a year later, Poker Stars has been allowed to launch its own online gambling application.

Poker Stars mobile allows players to compete in poker games from their mobile phones. At the moment, only Texas Hold ‘Em and Omaha are available. However, players can take part in cash games, tournaments and different limit variations of the game.

There are some other great features that players can take advantage of. Firstly, players can multi-table, accessing up to 5 tables at once. Players also have access to their hand histories and all of their account information with a touch of their screen.

The new Poker Stars mobile application rolled out in Italy first before being brought to the United Kingdom. It is likely that the application will be introduced to other markets around the world and New Zealand residents are keeping their fingers crossed. With online gambling laws in review, it doesn’t seem so unlikely.

Online Gambling Displaces Land-Based Casinos

The New Zealand government has worked hard to outlaw online gambling over the past few years, but it was inevitable that residents would catch on to the craze. Despite politicians’ best efforts to ban the activity, online gambling is gaining popularity in New Zealand.

New Zealand’s land-based casinos are seeing fewer patrons and less profits this year, thanks to the increasingly popularity of online gambling. Even pokies, one of the country’s favourite pastimes, are seeing less play. Last year, players in the Northland province spent 24% less on poker machines than they had the previous year.

A wide range of land-based operators have decided to take their games online, and players have followed. Companies like Aristocrat and IGT, two of the biggest poker machine manufacturers, have made the shift and gained a huge following in the online world.

“Internet gambling is way more accessible”, says Problem Gambling Counsellor Diane Matthews. “But the sad thing about that is all the money goes overseas.”

The online gambling market is not regulated in New Zealand, but operators may want to consider doing so in the future. If not, land-based casino profits will continue to fall, and the government lose out on a great deal of tax revenue.

Could Zynga Enter The Online Gambling Market?

Zynga, one of Facebook’s most popular social games developers, is rumoured to be thinking of entering the online gambling market. With the release of its first Casino branded game, the company seems well-positioned to open a new real-money online casino. A number of sources have confirmed that Zynga is considering the possibly.

The company already has an existing fan base in the online gaming world. Millions of players log on to Facebook to compete with their friend in a game of the ever-popular Zynga Poker. Through ad revenue and selling online coins and prize, the game has made a pretty profit, but Zynga wants more.

Zynga recently listed itself on the stock exchange, with poor results, and a real-money gambling website would help the company recover from not meeting its IPO expectations. As such, an online casino would bring in a great deal of revenue for the already profitable company.

Some sources have confirmed that Zynga is now looking for a partner, with which to explore the online gambling market. While the company has not made a public announcement yet, a spokesperson stated that online gambling is a market that Zynga is very interested in.
