The foul-mouthed, abusive and arrogant celebrity chef Gordon Ramsay seems to want one more claim to fame: his own online casino games. According to a report from The Sun, Ramsay plans to develop  games based on his reality television show Hell’s Kitchen. The British media outlet is reporting that Ramsay applied for a trademark with the UK Intellectual Property Office, and on his application indicated that the trademark was for computer programs for “playing casino, gambling and betting games.” It is not known when these online casino games could launch and Ramsay hasn’t made any official comment on the application…

Sheldon Adelson’s lobbying entity, the Coalition to Stop Internet Gambling, has crawled back from the sewer. It seems that the Justice Department fight in the Wire Act case with New Hampshire has given them some confidence. Just a few days later, CSIG joined the DOJ’s case with another voluminous amicus filing. Neither the DOJ nor CSIG have offered anything new this time around, instead opting for an expansion of the tired and adjudged incorrect legal arguments that were refuted in earlier rulings. The latest CSIG amicus brief incorporates large chunks of its May 2019 brief verbatim, including many of the…

Despite having their butts handed to them by a Federal Judge last June, the DOJ Wire Act position refuses to budge. Not even a little. In fact, they are doubling down on their bet that with 1961 act applies to the internet and all forms of gambling. The New Hampshire District Court ruled last year that the Wire Act only applies to sports betting — and not to online gambling more broadly. That decision threw a fat wrench in the government’s plans to broaden the scope of the antiquated 46 year old statute via a 2018 memorandum, which flew in…

With election season now officially underway, we all need to consider the most important issues. Namely, what is their position on the Wire Act and internet gambling! Now, former US Vice President Joe Biden has weighed in on his federal gambling policy. After addressing a crowd in Las Vegas in December, Biden’s campaign told CDC Gaming Reports that he “doesn’t support adding unnecessary restrictions to the gaming industry like the Trump Administration has done.” Subsequent remarks touched on both traditional and online gambling, including the ongoing legal battle over the latter.

Michigan online gambling has passed on a third attempt, as the state legislature voted to legalize the activity along with sports betting. In the past, the governor has vetoed efforts to regulate internet betting. This time, however, the sponsor of the bill reached an agreement with Governor Whitmer that will pave the way for the state legitimize the industry. The major objection has been the concern that online gambling would cut into lotto receipts. That money is used to supplement the school aid fund and the fear of less money for schools was a big stumbling block. How, and how…

The online gambling sector is under siege. Shady business practices, aggressive marketing and a rise in gambling-related issues have lead to almost unprecedented interventions by governmental and regulatory bodies. Historically, only the tobacco industry has endured similar crackdowns. As a result, web-based operators are beginning to feel the bite. So what does the future hold for online casinos? Further misery seems to be the answer. A recent report published by a cross-party parliamentary group called the APPG, has called for the introduction of new measures including a £2 stake limit on online slots, an end to credit card betting and…
