Box and poker at Realdealpoker.com

The well-known boxer Evander Holyfield has recently signed with Realdealpoker.com. This box champion has won against Mike Tyson and George Foreman and is a popular figure among the Americans. Counting on its popularity, Realdealpoker.com hopes that having Evander Holyfield as representative can attract poker players.

Realdealpoker.com is the only site using the innovative technology of distributing real cards instead of using a randomizing algorithm. This technology may catch or not to the public depending on how well Realdealpoker.com and its ambassador communicate with the poker players community. “Our revolutionary technology uses real cards and this ensures the fairness of the game. We have achieved something that everyone deemed as impossible, that is distributing real cards in an online environment” said Gene Gioia, founder and president of Real Deal Poker.

Holyfield will be present at the poker event ‘Poker in the Park’ taking place on 2^nd and 3ed September in London. “We are delighted that a superstar such as Evander comes at Poker in the Park. We are used to having guests the most famous poker players but his presence here illustrates the synergy that exists between poker and the major sports, and the exciting development of poker in general” declared the event organizer Michael Caselli.

State lottery withdraws site after security breach

The British Columbia Lottery Corporation had to take down its newly relaunched PlayNow.com online gambling site due to a security breach last Friday which resulted in 134 user accounts being compromised.

In 12 cases, users had access to other people’s personal information. A “data crossover” system error determined several players to be accidentally switched to other players accounts. Wagers totaling $8000 were put by players who used other players’ accounts before the breach was revealed and the site taken down.

BCLC president and chief executive Michael Graydon stated that the breach was not announced to the public sooner because he wanted to know all the details and contact first the players who have been affected. “Our first priority was really to our players and making sure we got to them first. We wanted to make sure that they heard from BCLC and not read it in the newspaper,” he said.

BCLC tried to keep a low profile on this issue. This is why an official of the company announced last Friday that the site had been taken down because response times were slowed by high player volumes. Some reacted to this announcement by accusing the government and BCLC of lying but Graydon denies having lied to anyone: “We’ve only been open and transparent with the customers affected. We identified them very quickly and we communicated with them very quickly.”

The platform provider for PlayNow.com is currently working with BCLC to bring back the site online but no date has been announced for its come back.

Special 4th of July Celebration

The online casino Jackpot Capital will organize a special promotion on this 4^th of July called the Teddy Bear Promotion. Why this name? Because the story goes that in 1902 president Roosevelt refused to shoot a bear in a hunting trip. This fact struck a sensitive chord with the Americans and so “the Teddy Bear” was born. This is why the Teddy Bear has become related to the Independence Day and is celebrated as a national symbol. In fact the Teddy Bear has become Americans’ favourite toy since then.

The casino is offering 50% deposit bonuses, each up to $100. This promotion will last from the 4^th until the 8^th of July and players that want to benefit from the bonus must enter Teddy Bear as a coupon code when making a new deposit.

If you now make your first account on Jackpot Capital you will receive a 100% Welcome Bonus up to $100. You can read more about how to claim this bonus on their website.

Be aware that a special contest will run this weekend before the start of the Teddy Bear promotion. If you deposit a minimum of $50 and play between Friday and Sunday you can participate in a contest with $50 prizes. All you have to do is to check your email to see if you are one of the lucky winners. Good luck!
