Paddy Power

Tue, 01 Feb 2011 12:16:35 +0000

Founded in 1988, Paddy Power became an extensive gambling enterprise after three large Irish gambling companies merged together to form one united enterprise. This gaming enterprise grew so rapidly that by the end of 2005, it had 195 outlets (45 of which were based in the United Kingdom) and over 1,300 employees. This company is publicly traded on both the Ireland and United Kingdom stock exchanges and continues to grow exponentially. Paddy Power is a proud sponsor of the Irish Poker Open, the world’s second longest No Limit Texas Hold’em tournament, as well as the Irish Winter Festival of Poker.

Paddy Power is Ireland’s largest gambling company, and provides a variety of different outlets for internet gambling, in-person gambling and over the phone gambling. The company’s website, PaddyPower.com is an extensive website that offers a variety of different gambling options including Poker, Casino games and sports betting. Whatever your penchant for gambling may be, you will find it here. It is very easy to register to obtain a membership and the log in process is always secure for your safety and security. The site has a clean, easy to navigate layout that makes it easy to use. From the home page, you can easily navigate to just about any option you choose using just one or two clicks. Horse Racing and Football betting are found in the upper left hand corner of the page. It also offers Live Betting and Money Back specials, for those who enjoy those types of games. The Money Back specials are a trademark of Paddy Power and is available for several different types of betting including horse racing and FA Cup MBS. These options rotate on a regular basis.

The availability of a wide variety of Poker games is one of the most popular features that Paddy Power has to offer. Texas Hold’em is quite popular, but other Poker games are increasing in popularity as the game of Poker continues to attract more players. When you log into the Poker section of the website, you will see many different types of Poker games, including Omaha, Omaha HiLo, Limit Hold’em, No Limit Hold’em and Tournaments. There are also beginner’s tables for players that are still learning the ropes of the game and would like to play with players who are at the same Poker Skill level. You can browse through the different available Poker tables by category quickly and easily, to find the right table for you to play at.

No great gambling site would be complete without some great bonus offers to reward its customers for playing. At Paddy Power, there are some excellent promotional offers available to Poker players, including a $600 First Deposit Bonus and First Depositor’s Freeroll. The First Deposit Bonus in itself is enough of a valuable incentive to at least give the website a chance. Additionally, other available bonuses include a First Depositor’s Freeroll and a $50,000 Leader of the pack. There is also a Paddys Pantsdown $80K Giveaway, which is open to all new players. These generous bonuses make joining Paddy Power not only a great idea, but also a potentially profitable one.

Betting is available in just about every shape and format. You can bet on anything from Greyhound Racing to Tennis and just about everything in between. If you prefer more traditional sports, there is Cricket, Darts, Rugby and even Snooker. Betting on Snooker allows you to play on German Masters, World Championships or both. Virtual Sports is another betting category that is offered by Paddy Power, allowing bets to be placed on virtual Greyhounds, Horses, Football and Motor Sports. That’s what is so great about this website- there is something for everyone, no matter what you fancy.

The Bingo Room is a popular feature for young and old alike. It is very similar to a real in-person Bingo game, but allows you to participate from the privacy of your home. The only thing missing from the experience is the ability to yell “Bingo” when you win, although you probably could do it at home, if you chose to do so. There are seven different Bingo Rooms, including the Gold Room, the Sapphire Room and the Bargain Sale Basement Room. These rooms allow for slightly different styles of Bingo play and prizes, and the cost of playing tickets are inexpensive. With the Bingo Room, you can have a lot of fun at a great price, and you might possibly win big despite a very minimal investment on your part.

Paddy Power has several helpful tutorial videos that can be downloaded and viewed from the website. These videos cover a variety of subjects, including instructions on how to navigate the website and placing bets. They will also teach you how to register, how to fund your account and how to place a Tricast/Forecast. You can fund your account using a variety of payment options, including most major credit cards, debit cards and Paypal. The customer service department is readily available by email or phone 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. There’s also a live chat option where you can get instant support via live chat. The representatives are knowledgeable, polite and attentive. Most importantly, customer support is easily accessible whenever you need it. Excellent customer support is an imperative quality for any gaming website to have to be able to assist you with any difficulties you may have while using the site.

Last but not least, if you cannot be in front of your computer to bet, you can always have Paddy Power fun to go on your mobile phone. There are special applications available on their website that cater to iPhone and Android users, so that playing your favorite games are never far away. With all of the great features available at Paddy Power, there’s really no reason to visit anywhere else. You can enjoy playing nearly any game or betting forum either at home or on the go, which makes Paddy Power a winner.

A quick guide to Poker in the USA

Wed, 02 Jun 2010 03:20:33 +0000

Just thought I would post a quick guide to poker/gambling in the USA for those either from the states and wondering on the legal status.

Legality of Online Poker
On October 13, 2006 President Bush officially signed into law the Safe Port Act, a bill aimed at enhancing security at U.S. Ports. Attached to the Safe Port Act was a provision known as the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act (UIGEA). According to the UIGEA, “unlawful internet gambling” means to place, receive, or otherwise knowingly transmit a bet or wager by means of the internet where such bet is unlawful under any law in the State in which the bet is initiated, received, or otherwise made. Thus, the UIGEA prohibits online gambling sites from performing transactions with American financial institutions. As a result of the bill, several large publicly traded poker gaming sites such as PartyPoker.com, PacificPoker.comand and bwin closed down their US facing operations. Some operations have not closed and it is still possible for some American players to play online for real money and even sign up for new accounts. The UIGEA has had a devastating effect on the stock value of these companies.
If you actually spend a little time looking through some of the arguments currently being put up against legalizing online poker a strong feature of those arguments can be summarized as ‘protecting the moral fiber of the citizens The government thinks its citizens will all go stir crazy as soon as online poker can be legally played throughout the country. We’d all immediately start spending rent and food money gambling in online poker competitions, neglecting our children, failing to turn up for work. There are people who have addictive personalities and may well play online poker games to their personal and financial detriment.

A nation must have adequate federal laws to ensure that online poker websites have very stringent controls to prevent under-age players accessing any online poker games and, that money laundering cannot take place. There are many other controls that could also reasonably be insisted on, for example: ensuring that online poker players a have to deposit money for their betting chips in advance of a game, that gambling credit can’t be raised during a game, that there are time limits for playing an online poker game etc. I know some people will think that even measures like those would be too restrictive and online poker players really should be left to make their own decisions. However, the fact is that some people do need protecting from themselves – but not all of us and certainly not all of us all of the time! So perhaps we could accept that our government quite rightly wants to ensure that they have adequate controls over online poker ‘for our own good’.

Which brings us to the real reason why the USA government doesn’t want to legalize playing online poker – MONEY! Casinos and gambling houses are easily regulated and have to pay taxes to the appropriate state and national authorities. With online poker, or even online gambling in general, the ‘government’ may well have very little chance or control over obtaining any tax revenues from it.

Why should the USA government in effect censor us from playing online poker in our own homes? Of course this censorship in the use of the internet is difficult for the authorities to maintain. After all there are far more distasteful things on the internet, than online poker, for the authorities to spend their time prosecuting. So the reality is that while playing online poker, or OWNING AN ONLINE POKER WEBSITE IN THE USA IS ILLEGAL- you can probably carry on playing online poker without risking being prosecuted. After all, In Nevada, they advertise online poker games on TV and billboards – so not much of a chance of being prosecuted.
Now one last TIP for playing online poker. Do research on the website you are playing to see if there are scams running on that site. i.e. Google or yahoo, Full Tilt Poker scams or Poker Stars Scams, etc. do some reading on the real life experiences of players that have been in the game for years. This tip may very well save you tons of money. After extensive research, the only way to win at online gambling is not to play real money. Play fake money and have fun and enjoy. Two official cases of inside cheating have been documented, (1) at Ultimate bet.com in 2008 and absolutepoker.com in 2007. If you have a complaint you may use the following link to be heard.
