Welcome to the general online casino news page where we post all manner of news articles that we think might be interesting to people like yourself who have found our online casino site and are therefore interested in gambling. To write our casino news articles we scour the press and other sources to find out what is going on in the world of online casinos and gambling in general so that you can find it all in one place. We do not restrict ourselves to online casino news or even land based casino news as most of our customers will be interested in many forms of gambling. We try to report news about casinos from all corners of the earth whether it is about openings, closures, cheating or big wins, if we think it might be interesting it is in there. Legislation is also prominent in the casino news world at this time as the advance in internet technology in many countries is bringing online gambling to a much wider audience but not all countries have legislation that is prepared for that. Many countries also have state owned gambling establishments and they do not take kindly to overseas based online casinos taking a hold, even in Europe this is an issue. The largest gambling country is the USA and it is from there that a lot of the casino news comes but with current regulations preventing online casinos from operating or rather preventing US players from playing most online casino news is from other countries. China will someday become the biggest user of online casinos but right now that is illegal and they have to restrict them elves to the gambling centres of Macau and Singapore.
News about a specific single bookmaker will be found on the page relating to that bookmaker if it is one that we recommend otherwise it will be here on the general casino news page. The best way to find news about a specific topic is to type a keyword into our search section and it will take you to any relevant casino news article. Alternatively you can view previous articles or choose a year and month. We try to keep our articles factual but at the same time easy to read and where possible light humoured; online casino news can at times be quite dull especially when legislation is the topic but we do our best to entertain as well as inform. We do not operate a casino ourselves which leaves us free to criticise those that do (within legal limits of course) if we feel it warranted. At the same time we will often give a brief opinion at the end of an online casino news article and we are of course willing to praise what we think is good behaviour from gaming operators. Not operating a casino also means that we can do casino news stories freely without fear of repercussions; we recommend a few online casinos but we are not tied to them, in fact if we think any one of them is behaving in an improper manner we shall remove them from our recommended list. On the other side of the coin we will on occasions add a casino site that we think warrants it. Online casino news and casino news are big subjects with something happening every day so we cannot cover everything so if we miss something please accept our apologies. Sports betting is also big business in today’s world so some of our news will be about various sports betting but as we have no sports news page they will appear here on the Casino news page. For big sporting events we sometimes trawl around various betting firms for you to find the best odds available, if you are going to gamble you may as well do so as much in your favour as possible. Keep visiting our site on a regular basis and we shall keep you up to date with casino news from around the globe.

It is reported that one of the fastest growing casino games being played at our online casinos is the good old game of Bingo. Some people may find this somewhat surprising given that the Bingo Halls in our towns and cities appear to be going through a difficult time with many actually closing down, but clearly the actual game of Bingo seems to be as popular as ever. The online casino operators even tell us that online bingo is now being played by customers of all ages, including young men. Almost all of the major online casino sites now offer online bingo, and many have introduced interesting variations of the original game with both 80 and 75 ball games on most sites, plus some new patterns which vary from the normal winning lines. The principles of online bingo are still the same however, and it remains a very simple casino game which has the added advantage that the cards can be purchased at very little cost so online bingo gamblers can have a great deal of fun without risking much of their hard earned cash. The online casino operators have also picked up on the popularity of the linked games which are available in our bingo halls, and most online casinos now run linked games on their sites, which of course raises the potential winnings quite dramatically. Many also run rolling jackpots with their online bingo games which again increases the potential winnings for their customers. [click to continue…]

Access to the internet has changed the face of gambling in Ireland beyond recognition. Sports gambling, particularly horse racing and football has traditionally involved a trip to the local bookmaker, or setting up a telephone account if there was no betting shop within easy reach. Playing casino games such as roulette, blackjack or poker was simply not an option for most of the population, unless they travelled to a casino. The advent of online casinos and their associated online sports gambling sites have changed all that, and gambling online has become a major leisure activity across the country. Even those who were able to play casino games at a land based casino now find that the new online casinos can offer a very much bigger range of casino games than any of Irelands established casinos could possibly manage, particularly when it comes to slots. At onlinecasino.ie we recognise that many people have little or no experience of some of the casino games now available at these online casinos, so we have attempted to set out the basic principles of many of these online casino games in our individual casino games pages, which we hope will encourage new online gamblers to give them a try. This brings us to the next feature of online casinos which you will not find at a real casino, and that is the option to play casino games for free until you are happy that you understand how the game works. We recommend that you always take advantage of this option when playing any new casino game online. Finally, because online casinos can operate with much lower overheads than their land based competitors, it is possible to play almost all the popular casino games for very much lower stakes, bringing this form of gambling within the reach of people with quite modest budgets.
