Online gambling is all the rage in Canada. British Columbia and Quebec have already launched their own government-run online casinos. Ontario plans to have an internet casino up and running by 2012. It seems that every other province has weighed in one way or the other on the subject. Now the government agency that oversees tribal gaming in Saskatchewan wants a study on the subject.

The Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority (SIGA), which owns six First Nations casinos in Saskatchewan, has announced an intention to study the prospects of bringing online gambling to the nation. The company, which employs more than 2,000 people (mostly First Nations people), has released a “request for information on the products offered by suppliers that could assist SIGA in conducting research on Internet gambling.”

Though the Saskatchewan government is working with the Saskatchewan Indian Gaming Authority, SIGA is being given the freedom to conduct its own initial research. Current estimates are that online gambling in the province is an industry worth $30-$40 million. The group wants to find out how much of that money can be a revenue source for SIGA.

The Saskatchewan government, of course, wants to know how much money they stand to benefit from online gambling as well. Currently SIGA and the government have not discussed revenue sharing for the potential new market. In their current agreement, AIGA gives 50% of their profits to the First Nations Trust – which is distributed to the people of the Saskatchewan First Nations, 25% of the revenue goes to the provincial government, and 25% goes to the Community Development Corporations.

Since SIGA is only now beginning to study online gambling, it is unlikely that anything will happen soon, but the hope is that within a few years, the First Nations will be able to offer online casino versions of their tribal casinos for Saskatchewan gamblers.

The Institute for Policy and Governance in Spain recently spent a lot of money to conduct a study I could have told them for free: Online gamblers underestimate the amount of money they spend on games. According to the study, the average gambler who believes that he has bet €22 per month has actually spent €40 – almost double.

I think that has less to do with gambling perceptions as it does with spending in general. In general, people underestimate the amount of money they spend, which is why it’s often a shock when the cashier tells you the total. Or when the credit card bill comes, how often are you shocked by the amount of money you spent during the month?

Still, whether the study reflects gambling habits or spending habits in general, it is still important. The fact is that the average gambler spends almost twice as much money online as he thinks. That doesn’t mean he spends almost twice as much as he intended (an important distinction to make), but it is still relevant.

If the amount of money you find you have spent at gambling websites worries you, then you need to do something about it. I suggest you listen to this Chinese proverb. It says “If you must play, decide on three things at the start: the rules of the game, the stakes, and the quitting time.”

That is great advice for online gambling, but I want to make one clarification. Quitting time shouldn’t actually be a time of day or a number of hours or minutes played. Instead, it should be an amount of money. It is quitting time after you have spent X amount of money at the casino.

Before you ever enter a casino, online or on land, you should set aside a specific amount of money to wager. If you don’t wager all of it, that’s fine, but whatever happens, do not wager more than that amount. If at the end of the month you decide that you have spent too much money, decrease the amount of money you allow yourself to spend on each casino session. As long as you follow those rules and practice smart money management, you should find yourself spending a much more comfortable amount on casino games.

Too often, when people talk about casino tournaments they only focus on the slot tournaments. It’s true that slots are the most popular and lucrative tournaments, but some people are more into table games like blackjack and poker. Those games require strategy and are a lot more fun to people who enjoy that challenge. For that reason, today I want to draw your attention to the non-slot tournaments at Go Casino.

It’s true that Go Casino has a lot of slot tournaments, including the upcoming Weekend Madness. However, there are a lot of options out there for fans of blackjack and video poker. For blackjack fans, there are tournaments run on two different games, Vegas Strip Blackjack and Perfect Pair Blackjack. The former is the more traditional game while the latter has the popular side bet that pays out extra for certain pairs.

Throughout the month, on every given day there is a blackjack tournament on one of the two games. Today, November 10, the tournament is being played on Vegas Strip Blackjack. Each blackjack tournament has an entry fee of only $0.99, which gives you 50 credits to use. If you run out and want more, you can re-buy for $2.49. Each of the blackjack tournaments lasts 24 hours, beginning at 8:00 PM on one day and ending at the same time the next. Players compete for a share of the pot, with the top 41 players in the tournament earning prizes.

If you would rather play video poker, Go Casino has a good number of tournaments for that as well. Like with the blackjack tournaments, the video poker tournaments last 24 hours, starting at 8:00 PM one day and ending at 8:00 the next. The video poker tournaments played on four different games: 100 Hand Joker Poker, Single Hand Deuces Wild, Mega Multi Hand Deuces Wild and Multi Hand Aces and Faces. Each of the video poker tournaments has an entry fee of $1.99, which gets you 100 credits. If you desire, you can re-buy for the same price. In the video poker tournaments, players compete for a share of a $2,500 guaranteed prize pool.

If slots are your thing, there are plenty of tournaments available at Go Casino. If video poker or blackjack is your thing, there are also plenty of tournaments available at Go Casino. If keno is your thing, well, sorry…

The dispute over a horse racing levy contribution by British gambling companies to the horse racing industry has attracted the ire of Secretary of State at the Department of Culture, Media and Sport, Jeremy Hunt. The dispute has reached stalemate with the parties involved unable to come to an agreement by the deadline of October 31, leaving the Government with the unenviable task of acting as arbitrator.

A clearly annoyed Hunt quoted in UK press reports as opining:

“It’s a big disappointment that the racing and gambling industries have failed to sort this out,” he said today, “but frankly the government should never be the last resort in an essentially commercial negotiation.

“We have therefore announced our intention to remove the role of the Secretary of State from determining the levy scheme in future and I hope this time will be the very last one that I have to be involved.”
