Two Leading Online Bingo Sites Ordered to Scrap Unfair Withdrawal Limits

Posted by martha on in Bingo, Blog, News / 0 Comment

The United Kingdom Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) has named Jumpman Gaming and Progress Play as the leading bingo sites in the country in restricting players from withdrawing their winnings. They have been accused of erecting hurdles in the form of policies with an aim of causing players to continue gambling.

The move by CMA to name and shame Progress Play and Jumpman Gaming followed the release of an investigative report that was published towards the end of August this year. For the past two years, CMA has been undertaking an investigation on bingo firms’ release of players’ winnings.

Online bingo players in the UK have for many years in the recent past complained about restrictions that bingo sites imposed on withdrawals. The players are left in a state where they cannot access their money despite having worn it because of the unfair practices by bingo sites. Their complaints were taken up by CMA where it sought to understand the issue through an in-depth investigation.

The investigation found that some of the bingo sites in the UK market operate dubious policies which are a violation of customer rights. The authority cited a case where bingo sites state in their terms and conditions that players’ balances will be seized if their accounts remain inactive for a given period of time. CMA viewed this detrimental policy as a way of compelling players to gamble more. CMA also found that in some of the cases, winnings are confiscated if bingo players do not show proof of their identity within a given period.

The report also found that bingo sites were restricting the amount that a player can withdrawal at a time. Worse still, other bingo sites were found to be using money laundering controls in a selective manner with a view of delaying withdraws from the winning accounts.

Commenting on the investigative report, George Lusty, senior director at CMA said that individuals who opt to bet in the online bingo sites should be allowed to walk away with their winnings anytime that they desire. Progress Play operates on a business to customer and business to business basis. Jumpman Gaming provides an underpinning of other sites through a business to business engagement. It also operates on a business to customer basis by offering slot sites and online bingo.

The UK Gambling Commission has taken up the issues mentioned in the report and emphasized on the need for operators to offer fair policies to players. It warned that bingo operators engaging in the dubious practices would face strict actions.

Commenting on the issue, Paul Hope, the executive director of UKGC said, “Gambling firms should not be placing unreasonable restrictions on when and how customers can take money out of their accounts.” He urged operators to align their policies with the findings in the CMA’s report.

After their naming and shaming, Jumpman Gaming and Progress Play agreed to scrap the restrictions they had been applying on customer withdrawals. Speaking on the issue, George Lusty confirmed that Progress Play had agreed to do away with its ID check response times and warned other bingo operators that action will be taken against them if they do not follow suit.

CMA and UKGC have been working together to intensify they oversight in the gambling sector. Their efforts have seen UKGC impose fines to operators for violations of betting laws by tenfold in the last financial year 2017/2018 compared to the previous years.

UKGC has warned that unless bingo sites observe standards, fines and penalties will “escalate relentlessly.”

 

Rank Group Hits the £2m Mark for Charity Fundraising

Posted by martha on in Bingo, Blog, News / 0 Comment

Rank Group has reached the £2 million milestones in its fundraising efforts. Employees across its various branches celebrated the achievement.

Rank Group which owns Grosvenor Casinos and Mecca Bingo entered into a partnership with Carers Trust in February 2014. According to John O’Reilly, the Chief Executive of Rank Group, charity is at the heart of the firm’s employees. They took up the challenge by signing the partnership that would see the firm (Rank Group) fundraise resources that would then be channeled to Carers Trust for charity.

Since February 2014, employees at Rank Group have devoted their energies to raising money for the initiative. They embraced every idea that they deemed fit by organizing fundraising activities in their local areas.

The money that is collected through the fundraising efforts is channeled to Rank Cares Grant Fund. The money is then handed over to Carers Trust and used in offering financial support to carers who are sixteen years old and above.

The support offered to the carers is aimed at helping remove barriers that the caring role places bring. Additionally, it helps reduce the stress and isolation that accompanies the caring role. That way, carers can access the much-needed break and interact with other carers to share experiences and learn.

In recognition and support of the devotion that the employees were making in the fundraising initiative, a senior management team at Mecca Bingo took up a challenge dubbed ‘Bushtucker trial challenge.’ It entailed consuming a series of unusual foods such as critter cocktails, buffalo warms on a bed of lettuce sprinkled with dry cricket flour, and mealworms. The challenge turned out to be a success as through it the £2 million milestones was achieved. Customers and other employees participated in the critter challenge, hence, its success.

Speaking at the announcement of the attainment of the milestone, O’Reilly honored the staff members for helping realize the goal. He also stated that Rank Group appreciates the work of Carers Trust and that was the reason employees dedicated their efforts to the course. He said, “It gives me a sense of pride to know that collectively we have been able to make such a strong contribution to the charity.”

O’Reilly also singled out the fundraising activities performed by employees and the reception by the society saying “without their dedication and the incredible support from the communities nationwide, such an achievement just wouldn’t have been possible.”

Reiterating the importance of supporting carers, the company through Terry O’Donnell, the general manager at Mecca Birkenhead said that three in every five people in the UK will become carers at some point in their lives. Additionally, an estimated seven million people are already carers in the UK.

The partnership is its fifth year and has already made a mark on carers charity. The money that Rank Group has raised has been used to support more than 9,000 carers access opportunities to learn new skills, essential equipment, and bring socially isolated carers together.

Giles Meyer, the Chief Executive Officer at Carers Trust, was overwhelmed by Grosvenor Casinos and Mecca Bingo team’s effort and achievement of the milestone. “They have gone above and beyond once again, and we’re delighted to continue our partnership,” he said.

Terry O’Donnell stated that the firm would continue the fundraising efforts to ensure that Carers Trust will continue supporting carers.

 

UK Gambling Commission Slaps Stride Gaming with Hefty Fines

Posted by martha on in Bingo, Blog, News / 1 Comment

The United Kingdom Gambling Commission has slapped the Stride Online gaming operator with a hefty penalty. It has done this by issuing a notice to that effect. The notice is still pending and has not yet come to effect for the time being.

Stride GamingBefore arriving at this crucial decision, the gambling commission carried out an extensive review of the activities of the said gaming operator. It mainly focused on how the gaming operator carried out its activities.

It alleges that the said operator has not been diligent and faithful in all its dealings. This is why, in the opinion of the gambling commission, the operator deserved a hefty financial fine. This gaming operator has a vast interest in the field of online gaming and gambling.

These include but are certainly not limited to Regal Wins Casino, Magical Vegas, Spin and Win, Kitty Bingo, and Jack Casino. On its part, the operator has advised its market base and subsidiaries that it is presently considering the various approaches to take in response to the latest developments.

Some of the steps the operator is currently contemplating are lodging a formal complaint to the gambling operator as regards the proposed financial penalty. It also considers appealing the decision of the gambling operator and the accompanying penalties in a competent court of law. It even considers asking that the size of the penalty be reduced.

The markets have responded adversely to these developments. Stride gaming has lost a whopping one-third of its market value. This has mainly been occasioned by the loss of interest that most stakeholders have developed in response to these allegations.

Its shares fell by around 33% immediately the announcements. The slide slowed down to around 31.75% later up to the close of the business day. This slump in market value has no doubt adversely affected the daily revenue as well as the short-term financial standing of the firm.

The wider market was not spared either. Indeed, these shocking revelations have also sent the overall gaming market tumbling down. The London’s Alternative Investments market all-share index slumped by around 1.5% in the same week that the announcement was made by the gambling commission. The FTSE 100-share index was not adversely affected though. This is because it registered a paltry 1% slump in value.

This slump in the overall gaming share is understandable. Stride is the third largest online bingo operator in the United Kingdom. It commands a 12% market share. This loss of confidence, therefore, means a huge impact on the gaming market as a whole.

Given the significance of gaming to the British society, it waits to be seen the repercussions and long-term consequences of these developments. In particular, it is interesting to see the courses of actions that the various stakeholders are going to employ to counter these adverse developments.

These developments notwithstanding, the UK gambling and online gaming industry are still robust and reliable. The developments will hardly have any adverse effects or impacts on the resolve of the British society in enjoying their favorite pastimes.

 

 

Casino Operators in a Possible Breach of Gambling Codes of Conduct

Posted by martha on in Bingo, Blog, News / 1 Comment

The Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA) has received a huge donation amounting to around £8,000 from the casino industry of the United Kingdom. This donation was supposedly made moments before the institute released a report of its findings. This report recommended that the current ban on the establishment of new casinos be lifted.

Casino OperatorsMoments before this donation was made, some officials of the National Casino Industry Forum (NCIF) supposedly met those of the Institute of Economic Affairs (IEA). The latter confided with the former sometime before drafting the final report. The report did not, however, mention this interaction in its final report though.

The report decried any attempt to further regulate the establishment of new casinos. It argued that there existed no reason to restrain mid-sized towns from accommodating newer casinos. The report is however open to any new opinions or calls for alterations.

This revelation of a donation was brought to the fore after the Guardian disclosed that the Institute of Economic Affairs had offered assistance to US nationals who had farming interests unbridled access to civil servants and top government officials.

These US nationals had planned to invest a whopping £35,000. Their meeting with Steve Baker, who at that time was the Brexit minister, was supposedly planned for by the said Institute of Economic Affairs.

The think-tank as a matter of fact also confirmed that several persons outside the Institute of Economic Affairs had been granted a peek into the report before it was finally drafted. It has however denied any possibilities of the final outcomes or conclusions being influenced by these interactions and access.

These developments have raised queries as regards the influence that the local casino industry may wield on the various institutions that are charged with the responsibility of overseeing it. The Local Labor party termed the developments as shamed.

In particular, it took issues with the Institute of Economic Affairs for its involvement in “widespread lobbying and scandalous political campaign activities.” It further stated policy was adhered to as part and parcel of the attempt to enable the think tank to pursue its precise goals.

Many members of the public have questioned themselves, ‘Could the independence of the think tank have been compromised?’

In consequence of these developments, some formal investigations have been launched to these effects. The Charity Commission has taken the lead in spearheading these investigations. Alyson White, yet another Government’s lobbyist, has also decided to initiate her own independent investigations.

Further to these, Ms. White has also revealed that she has launched an independent inquiry on whether the think tank, which was supposedly created as an educational non-profit organization, should, in fact, be registered as a lobbying body.

On its part, the Institute of Economic Affairs has downplayed any rumors of a possible breach of the existing charity laws. Its director, Mark Littlewood, while commenting on the issue argued that the contributors are unable to influence the final outcomes and conclusions of such a research in whatever shape and form.

The National Casino Industry Forum (NCIF) on the other hand, also denied any compliance with the research outcomes. It further went on to state that it neither commissioned nor paid for the report at all. It has maintained that those donations were made long after the report had already been instigated.

 

 

Crackdown on Advertising and Consumer Law Breaches

Posted by martha on in Bingo, Blog, News / 0 Comment

In 2016, the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) in conjunction with the Gambling Commission commissioned a sector-wide survey to assess how the online gambling firms were treating customers.

Gambling CommissionBetween October 2016 and September 2017, Britons gambled a whopping £13.9 billion. The gambling industry employs around 100,000 people. In addition, the United Kingdom has 8,532 betting shops, 152 casinos, 649 bingo halls, and 183,928 gambling machines.

Moreover, during the just-concluded FIFA World Cup, the British households were bombarded with around 90 minutes of betting advertisements. This prompted claims that children were being unfairly subjected to messages that seemed to encourage them to venture into betting.

The government of the United Kingdom has been on the receiving end in light of these developments. It faced criticisms for allegedly taking too long to place curbs on the

£100-per-spin fixed-odds betting termini. These jointly earned £1.8 billion a year for the bookies.

In response to this, the government has responded by putting in stringent measures. These, it avers, shall restrict the amount of time the adverts run on screens. This shall subsequently, according to the government, reduce the amounts of money that are spent on gambling. It came up with these stringent measures following an open consultation with the various stakeholders in the field of gambling.

To actualize this aim, the government has passed legislation to make it easier for gamblers to withdraw their money in case of a breach of the consumer laws or advertising rules. This directive shall come into effect on October 31.

According to the said rule, the government shall also fine any betting firm that violates the stated codes of conduct heavily. These include running adverts that target small children, glorify gambling, and deliberately misleading consumers. The same case shall extend to third-party advertisers like marketing agencies besides sending unsolicited text messages and e-mails to consumers.

Apart from the heavy fines, the gambling commission also imposes an eight-week ultimatum for the operators to settle any disputes that may arise from customers. This is to reduce the tensions, apprehensions, and anxieties that consumers normally confront under such circumstances. These changes in the law, the commission hopes, will hasten and expedite the solution of breaches to the existing laws.

The founder of Justice for Punters, Brian Chappell had this to say, ‘It is positive to realize that the Gambling Commission has ultimately acknowledged that gambling companies require tighter regulations.’

‘Only time will tell of the new rules shall be adhered to the letter. It waits to be seen if the consumers shall enjoy their rights and receive fair treatments. This declaration is incomprehensive but is nonetheless a welcome move.’

In response to these, some gambling firms have already announced their way forward. PT Entertainment, William Hill, and Ladbrokes have already announced their commitment to changing the manner in which they offer the bonus to customers that play online. BGO Entertainment Limited also followed suit a month later.

 

 

 

Impending Brexit and Its Likely Impact on Gibraltar Gambling Industry

Posted by martha on in Bingo, Blog, News / 1 Comment

The UK’s imminent departure from the European Union, popularly called Brexit, is expected to severely impact the gambling industry in Gibraltar. This is because most of the safety measures, rules, and regulations that govern trade in the economic zone shall not apply anymore.

The recent dual resignations of two British top ministers i.e. David Davis and Boris Johnson have further exacerbated the situation. Their resignations have shaken the government to the core and created a wave of uncertainty as regards the way forward. Indeed many waits with bated breath to see how the events shall unfold.

As things stand, the gambling firms that operate in Gibraltar are governed by the European Union rules of trade. They are also entitled to the same privileges as their counterparts in the rest of the trading block. Some of the top benefits these firms accrue are unhindered access to the huge market, freedom to move their staff, operations, and bases throughout the entire trading bloc, and protection from adverse competition from international sources.

If and when the Brexit deal is eventually finalized, all firms that set base in Gibraltar are expected to be adversely affected. They shall lose all these privileges. This shall see their stocks and revenue take a nosedive.

In response to these issues, Gibraltar has instituted a host of countermeasures. It has significantly reduced the corporate tax on gambling revenue by a whopping 0.85% (from 1% to a paltry 0.15%). It has also advised gambling businesses that have a base within its territory to identify contingency measures which may aid them to cope with the imminent change of the trade regime.

At the same time, the nation has also raised the license fees in a bit to cater for revenue shortfalls. The license fees are one-time expenses and are such not expected to impact adversely the desirability of Gibraltar as a favorite gambling destination or base.

The license fees of the business-to-consumer gambling companies shall cost $132,000 (£100,000) while those of the business-to-business gambling companies shall cost $112,000 (£85,000) under the new licensing regime.

Some top gambling firms have also decided to take matters into their own hands. They have decided to draft their own contingency plans to counter these issues. The most notable examples of these firms are the Bet365 and 888 Holdings.

These two firms have resolved to move some of their operations to Ireland and Malta. This is in a bid to circumvent the obstacles that are expected to be placed on the path of the companies that set up base in Gibraltar. More gambling firms are expected to follow suit or at least modify their rules of engagements.

Other than the aforementioned issues, the tax schedule is also expected to be severely impacted. This is because the EU requires all firms to be based within its borders for any decision touching on the tax to be made. This will complicate matters further as no firm as of yet has issued an intention to fully relocate its operations.

The stakeholders in the gambling industry are in a flurry of activities aimed at rescuing the gambling business. Most propose that the Brexit deal also stipulate the manner in which gambling shall be treated as a trade. This stems from the fact that service industries of which gambling is a part, have been largely excluded from the ongoing Brexit talks.

A number of stakeholders have contemplated looking to the World Trade Organization to offer the needed way forward. Their argument is hinged on the premise that both the UK and the EU are members of the global trade organization. They are therefore bound by the same rules notwithstanding the fact that they may have parted ways.

Gibraltar’s gambling industry is one of the most vibrant and lucrative. It will be interesting to see how events unfold especially with regards to the latest developments.

 

6 Strategies to Winning Online Bingo

Posted by martha on in Bingo, Blog, Strategies and Tips / 2 Comments

If online bingo was a powerful whirlwind, no one would resist getting swept away. Playing online bingo is not only fun, but a thrilling journey filled with plenty of emotions. It is full of highs and lows and twist and turns, but at the end of the game, nobody can resist partaking in another round. However, nobody plays bingo for sheer fun and adventure; we all play to win, and we’re always looking forward to winning another round.

Whether you are an amateur or you’ve been at it for a long time, here are some strategies and tips to get you on an online bingo winning spree.

1.Prepare yourself

Preparation includes bracing yourself for the rollercoaster of emotions you’re about to experience. If you’re a beginner, you can do this by trying your luck at some bingo sites for more real bingo game experience. You should also ensure that you are settled in good time and that you have everything you need before you start the game.

2.Purchase your ticket

After getting prepared, the next step is logging in to your favorite bingo site to find out when your game is ready to start. After confirming the time, purchase your ticket early enough so that you’re ready when the first number is drawn. If the game is yet to begin, you can take some time to familiarize yourself with your fellow players in the chat room. Have some fun with them, share tips and tricks, and gauge the competition. These light moments with your fellow players will calm your nerves and help you relax in time for the game.

3.When the game is about to start

Finally, the game is about to start, and the clock is ticking down. It is always advisable to shut down any distractions at this stage, including chat room pop-ups. Also, stay away from friends or family and concentrate fully on the game.

4.Don’t celebrate or get devastated too soon

When the game starts, and you seem to be on a roll, winning as each number gets called out, don’t let the excitement take its toll on you. Celebrating too soon will make you lose focus in the game, and your opponents could soon catch up with you. Also, if another player seems to be ahead of you, don’t throw in the towel just yet. Remember that bingo is a game of chance and you never know when lady luck will come knocking on your door.

5.Playing many books might pay sometimes

If you’re a pro and you think you are capable of it, you can purchase more than one ticket to increase your chances of winning. However, playing many books also puts you at the risk of missing numbers as they are called. Know your limitations and work out your odds of winning using this strategy before indulging. For example, if there are 20 of you in the game and everyone has 20 tickets, then your chance of winning is 5%. Alternatively, if you have four tickets and everyone else has one, your chance of winning rises to 17%. However, missing out on any numbers called could reduce your winning chance to 0%.

6.Winning

Just like we’ve said before, the goal of playing online bingo is to win. Whether it is by sheer luck or combining several strategies, nothing beats the feeling of watching the last piece of your puzzle fall into place and finally getting to push that bingo button. As your cash starts streaming in, you’ll find that your zeal for playing online bingo is insatiable, and you’ll always be up to another round.

 

‘Nobody Harmed By Gambling:’ William Hill Commits To Eradicating Problem Gambling

Posted by martha on in Bingo, Blog, News / 2 Comments

William Hill has admitted that problem gambling is a major social problem in the United Kingdom. The firm admitted that it together with the industry players have failed in tracking the harm caused by problem gambling.

William HillOn the 16th of July, 2018, William Hill launched a new corporate objective ‘Nobody Harmed by Gambling’ to guide his or her efforts in eradicating problem gambling in the United Kingdom. The initiative has seen the firm place corporate sustainability and social responsibility at the forefront of its daily operations.

William Hill’s initiative follows pressure from Gambling Commission and stakeholders in the sector on the need to reduce problem gambling rates with a major focus on television advertising. The Gambling Commission estimates that more than 430,000 Britons are problem gamblers. Additionally, two million Britons are at risk of becoming problem gamblers. The commission has also proved that for every problem gambler, six people in the society are affected.

The firm appointed Lyndsay Wright as its first director of sustainability and tasked her with the duty of implementing the new campaign. Her appointment adds on to her existing responsibilities of investor relations and strategy.

Announcing the campaign, Wright insisted that it was a critical move for the firm more so considering its future. She said, “We are an 84-year-old business, and if we want to be here for the next 84 years, we have got to do this the right way.” She argued that identifying the right solution to problem gambling is the only way the firm would be guaranteed of its long-term success.

Hills campaign’s immediate action plan is to push for registered play across all gambling products and improving advertisements on live sports.

Additionally, Hills published nine core commitments that will guide its long-term social responsibility of having a responsible gambling society. The nine commitments detail immediate actions, long-term programmes, and wider collaborations.

Immediate actions will entail pilot mandatory tools for its at-risk customers. Through the action, Hills is seeking to impose time limits for players aged between 18 and 21 years.

It intends to avail better data to its customers as a way of helping them make more conscious gambling decisions.

Hills also plans to roll out robust training programmes on its customers in partnership with gambling experts. Through the training, Hills will improve gambling literacy so that its customers make informed choices.

The campaign’s long-term programmes will include creating a responsible gambling innovation fund, developing key performance indicators on responsible gambling, and developing a new program for its workforce to work with problem gambling support organizations in the community.

As part of the nine collaborations, William Hills will develop ‘wider collaborations.’ The firm will convene experts so that they can crowdsource on new ideas and share the strategies that have worked for them, drive change on television advertising during live sports events, and push for industry-wide adoption of mandatory account-based pay.

Wright announced that the staff training will be structured based on the findings and research carried out by BetKnowMore UK program. She also stated that the firm is seeking community partners to enhance the staff training. Wright emphasized that the training would be done at all levels of the firm’s corporate management structure.

Wright expressed concerns that over the years, people’s perception of gambling has changed negatively. She revealed that the evident change prompted the firm to start thinking of a strategy they can employ to eradicate problem gambling nine months ago.

Addressing the firm’s target with the new campaign, Wright said, “We want our customers to enjoy gambling and stay gambling for the long term, but that can only mean they can gamble what they can afford.”

Emphasizing the importance of ‘Nobody Harmed By Gambling’ Phillip Bowcock, William Hill’s Group Chief Executive, insisted that the industry must recognize the ‘hidden side’ of gambling and help customers not fall victims. “Society expects it, our customers need it, and a sustainable future for William Hill depends on it.”
