UK Online Poker Player Michael Gallagher jailed for murder threatagainst Online Poker Room Casino staff

An online poker player in the UK has been jailed due to making threats to murder online  poker room staff if they didn’t reimburse him back for his losses. Michael Gallagher was jailed after he told staff he would kill every single person who crossed his path. The unemployed 35 year old wanted online staff to give him back all the money he had lost and he threatened them with harsh actions if they didn’t follow his request.

Mr Gallagher first joined this specific online poker site back in June 2010 and gambled away money in the region of £15,000 to £20,000. Of course never like a bad handy man to blame his tools he told casino staff that the only reason he didn’t win was because he was dealt weak cards and wasn’t impressed with the answers and reasons the online casino provided him with.

In May of this year – almost a year later he went back to the online casino and asked for his money back. While drunk he sent an email in the early hours of the morning demanding that have his losses back and if not he would go to  the company’s online poker headquarters and commit a massacre using firearms.

The next day Mr Gallagher then sent another email apologising to the online casino and asking them to forget the previous email he had sent. However the online casino staff thought these threats were in fact very serious so reported him to the Police who then arrested the online poker player.

At the court trail information was given out that stated that Mr Gallagher had planned his attack on the online casino for six months and he also said he would happily serve a life sentence for it. He pleaded guilty and was given a six month jail sentence.

Leeds Casino Bidding War Commences

Plans for the Leeds to host it's first "Mega Casino" are almost complete and Leeds City Council are hoping to licence the building of the new casino before the end of 2012.

The Casino plans have been on the table since government ministers gave permission to Leeds City Council back in 2008 to licence a new casino complex. An invitation for bidders is expected to be posted in February 2012 for Casino operators interested in building and running the new Leeds Casino.

Once the new Leeds based Casino is open for business it will create over 200 jobs in the local area and could attract more the £20 million in much needed private sector investment. Casino operators currently showing an interest in the new casino complex are Stanley Leisure, Grosvenor Casinos and Aspers although that list is bound to grow once the project is open to bids and we are bound to see some of the Online Casino operators fight for their piece of the land based casino market.

As of yet the location of the new casino hasn't been decided upon but with so much of Leeds' industrial heritage now being replaced with the financial services industry there isn't likely to be a problem finding a suitable spot.

Fantastic Deposit bonuses at Ladbrokes casino During October 2011

With so many different online casino brands to choose from its often a minefield deciding which site to register and play at. There are many things to consider when choosing your online casino and of course one
of the most important factors that players look at is the welcome bonus – what the online casino is going to give you as a “thank you” for choosing their brand over the hundreds of others available.

The more established brands like Ladbrokes Casino tend to offer a cash match bonus to entice players through their virtual doors rather than the 500 free spins that you might see at a lesser brand. Of course at nearly all online casinos there is a “play through” required on most bonuses offered but at Ladbrokes Casino they have given players a choice of three different bonuses with various wagering requirements.

Option 1 – Deposit between £5 and £50 for 100% cash match with a 20x play through
Option 2 – Deposit between £51 and £250 for 100% cash match with a 30x play through
Option 3 – Deposit between £250 and £500 for 100% cash match with a 20x play through

Slightly disappointing though is that the only deposit bonus that can be played through at Ladbrokes Casino on any game is the first option, the others can only be played through on specific games (shown on the promotions page for this welcome offer at Ladbrokes Bingo).

Full Tilt Poker Licence Revoked by Alderney Gambling Control Commission(AGCC)

Friday saw the news that the Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC) had fully revoked the licence of Full Tilt Poker bringing to an end the speculation about the company's future following the closure of their US business back in June 2011.

There is still a slim hope that Full Tilt's licence could be renewed if new owners can be found for the company but this isn't likely to set aside the fears of the many players who have seen their funds frozen.

US Prosecutors are still continuing with action against the Poker giant after describing Full Tilt as a "global Ponzi scheme" intended to line the pockets of it's board members with it's players account funds.

The one hope on the horizon for Full Tilt players who have had their accounts frozen after the revocation of Full Tilt's licence is a potential deal on the table by French investors Groupe Bernard Tapie who have offered to repay the $300 million the company owes it's players should a deal go through.
