What Is It Like To Be Online Casino Winners!?
Winnings at online casinos do not have to be life-changing. The online casino winner may win a million dollar jackpot in slots, poker, or another casino game. What do these million dollars, or the life of a millionaire, look like?
Online casino winners can take a million dollar prize and use it over a long period of time. Many can surely enjoy a $50,000 increase to their life style for every year from now until the year 2026, and a million dollar jackpot can help you do this if used wisely. This is only one example of using the money. Another option that the online casino winner has for using his prize is to invest it. With a moderate, yet wise, investment the sum can easily grow from one million to two or even more!
The cash prize alone is not the only thing to affect the online casino winner. The big jackpot will have tremendous effect on your life in other ways too. For one, you will become an optimist. Since you are not new to online casino games, you are likely somewhat of an optimist already, but imagine what a messenger of good luck you can become after you become a big online casino winner.

The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 does not make it a crime for US residents to gamble online; American players are still free to gamble anywhere on the Internet, stated Rick Smith and Keith Furlong, who respectively are the Executive and Deputy Directors of the Interactive Gaming Council (IGC), in a press release this week.
The IGC is a leading trade association for the international interactive gambling industry with its membership operating or supplying services to most of the reputable interactive sites on the Internet.
Their press release continued, saying the bill focuses on the prosecution of financial institutions handling transmission of money from U.S. players to operators of online gambling sites. So some sites may no longer accept wagers, as many of the publicly traded online gambling companies announced they would stop taking American bets following recent passage of the bill by Congress.
But they stressed that the bill will cause unintended negative consequences, in direct opposition to the bill's intent.
"In the guise of protecting vulnerable Americans- minors who want to gamble and adults who can't control their gambling - Congress has actually heightened the risk to these groups," said IGC Deputy Director Furlong.
"It has driven away the operators who followed the most socially responsible practices. It has also increased the possibility of online gambling being used for money laundering, because it has outlawed the most easily tracked methods of payment."
"This bill doesn't do anything to protect American consumers who choose to enjoy Internet poker and other games," added Furlong. "But the immediate effect is to drive the industry further underground. Gambling sites will devise new methods for getting money from / to a market where players have shown a resilient demand for this type of entertainment. The sad thing is, however, that many of the largest and most responsible companies, some of whom are major public companies listed on the London Stock Exchange, are being forced to stop providing real-money games."
"With few exceptions, U.S. states have demonstrated over many years that they can successfully regulate the bricks-and-mortar gambling industry," observed IGC Executive Director Smith. "That industry employs thousands of people and generates millions of dollars in tax revenue. The same principles could have been followed in the Internet gambling industry. With licensing and rigorous regulation of online gambling sites, rather than futile attempts at prohibition, governments can ensure that games are fair, operators are honest and solvent and vulnerable players are protected. And the governments could have reaped millions in taxes."
The IGC acknowledges that the Internet raises unique regulation challenges, but criticized Congress for having no interest to take any steps to study those issues. They especially criticized Congress for rejecting several attempts in the House to amend HR-4411 to include studying the possibility of regulation.
Political motives, including presidential aspirations, clearly drove its rush to pass a prohibition bill, as its members left Washington to hit the campaign trail, the press release stated.
"This was a sneaky election ploy," Furlong said. "It’s no coincidence that a ban on Internet gambling is part of the ‘'amily values' platform of the extreme right, which wants to distract voters from real problems, such as the war in Iraq, and at the same time impose its moral agenda on Americans, depriving them of their freedom of choice."
Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee, who led the last minute weekend maneuver to append the Gambling Act onto an important Port Security bill, said, "Gambling is a serious addiction that undermines the family, dashes dreams and frays the fabric of society."
The IGC press release points out the hypocracy of such bill supporters, citing how exemptions for Internet wagering on horse races, fantasy sports and lotteries, amongst other forms, were built into their bill. In many states, people are free to gamble online as much as they want on U.S. horse races and state lotteries. In fact, in a research report in March, an investment bank stated: “The U.S. horseracing industry now generates over 15% of its revenue from online wagers.†The IGC release postulated that the horse racing lobby is simply too powerful for Congress to oppose.
"What a contrast between the U.S., which after all went through a notoriously unsuccessful attempt to ban alcohol, and Britain, which is methodically preparing to license and regulate online gambling, starting next year," Smith said

It's 8:00 AM at a gambling casino. Two bored dealers are waiting around for someone to walk up and try their luck at the craps table. A very attractive lady comes in and wants to bet twenty-thousand dollars on a single roll of the dice. The dealers agree.
She says, "I hope you don't mind, but I feel much luckier when I'm bottomless."
With that she strips naked from the waist down, and rolls the dice while yelling, "Momma needs a new pair of pants!"
She then begins jumping up and down and hugging each of the dealers. "YES! I WIN! I WIN!"
With that she picks up her money and clothes and quickly leaves. The dealers just stare at each other dumbfounded. Finally one of them asks, "What did she roll anyway?"
The other answers, "I don't know. I thought YOU were watching the dice!"

Online Casino prizes have been huge last week. An internet Casino which offers progressive jackpots made some of its players rich overnight.
This is the case of Bobby C., American, who won U$S 291,663.45 dollars in the Major Millions jackpot online. He was so excited at first he couldn’t believe his luck. His family thought it was a joke. They never expected such a big prize would actually be awarded on the internet.
Bobby plans to share his prize with his huge family and spend all of it. However, he has not yet decided exactly how to spend it, but a celebration seems inevitable.
The online player’s fortune struck unexpectedly while he was playing a little in different games and accumulated enough points to cash in, and sent U$S 20 dollars to an online casino by mistake. His error made him rich immediately after hitting the jackpot.

All the poker/casino/bingo sites are all hungry for new players!! This means you need to keep an eye out for the signup bonus offers.
Ex: Poker Bonus Codes
There’s a catch, of course. Typically, you must make a minimum deposit and play a specified number of raked hands before the additional money is added to your account. These requirements are there to prevent people from signing up for an account, receiving the bonus, and instantly cashing out.
CHEERS!!

George Bush goes to a primary school to talk to the kids to get a little PR. After his talk he offers question time. One little boy puts up his hand and George asks him his name.
"Stanley," responds the little boy.
"And what is your question, Stanley?"
"I have 3 questions. First, why did the USA invade Iraq without the support
of the UN? Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more votes? And third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden?"
Just then, the bell rings for recess. George Bush informs the kiddies that they will continue after recess.
When they resume George says, "OK, where were we? Oh, that's right question time. Who has a question?" Another little boy puts up his hand. George points him out and asks him his name.
"Steve!", he responds.
"And what is your question, Steve?"
"Actually , I have 5 questions. First, why did the USA invade Iraq without the support of the UN? Second, why are you President when Al Gore got more votes? Third, whatever happened to Osama Bin Laden? Fourth, why did the recess bell go off 20 minutes early? And fifth, what the hell happened to Stanley?"

Online casino Roxy Palace has announced the latest winner of its online progressive jackpots as Jean Robert F from Lorient, France. He walked away with over €121,000 on the Treasure Nile online progressive slot game.
Jean Robert, a Roxy Palace regular, placed a €4.5 bet on the five reel, nine payline, nine coin slot machine, which ultimately resulted in his winning the €121,589 progressive jackpot; a win that came as something of a surprise to Jean Robert.
'Hitting the jackpot was a truly great surprise, and for sometime I wasn't sure if it was for real,” said the jackpot winner. “My wife and I enjoy playing at Roxy Palace as it feels more like a ‘real’ casino, than one that is online.'
Since its inception in 2002, Roxy Palace has become one of the most popular online casinos amongst online slots players, and now offers more than 150 casino games.
A spokesperson for the casino said, “Our players are on a winning streak, as we have had a number of big Jackpot winners this year. It is very exciting for us as a company when a jackpot hits as it could be anywhere in the world.”

Gather the troops and head to Washington D.C. for Colombus Day because a protest against the Internet Gambling Bill will be taking over the nation's capital.
*The press will be in Washington D.C. on Monday because it is Columbus Day and while they are filming the day's festivities they will be greeted by protestors to the Internet Gambling Prohibition Bill.
The bill is expected to be signed on Friday the 13th but protestors are requesting that the president reconsider. According to organizer Debbie Richardson, "many things can happen as a result of the protest."
The Port Security Bill is considered to be a highly important piece of legislation that will most definitely be signed by President Bush, Richardson explained to us. She went on to say that Bush is allowed to strip away add on bills to bills he is signing so that they can be sent back to Congress to be debated and voted on as individual bills.
Richardson, who will be in Washington D.C on Sunday in order to set up for Monday's protest, believes it is highly important to voice opinions in Washington before Friday the 13th in order that the president has time to consider the strong opposition to the bill. Richardson also believes it is important to be there on Monday because that is when the press will be there.
"If we don't fight for our rights and our freedom we lose," says Richardson. "We are urging all supporters of freedom to go to Washington to protest the bill that would stop online gaming. Everyone that can possibly go needs to show up and fight for freedom."
Demonstrators will meet in front of the Washington Monument on Monday, October 9th at 9am est. A large turn out is expected.
If you are planning to attend the protest and are unable to make it to the Washington Monument on time, you can meet the protestors in front of the White House on Pennsylvania Ave, Richardson told us.
If you would like more info or need to call to find out where to meet, contact Debbie Richardson by phone: 910-619-0563 or by email: drichardson @ bizec.rr.com.
"Tell your roomies to demonstrate, tell your friends to demonstrate, tell your family to demonstrate. In fact, tell as many people as you can to demonstrate," Richardson says, "if enough people show up to fight for our rights we can make a difference.
"If we let them take this right away from us," she says, "what will be next?"*
