      >The global outbreak of COVID-19 has seriously damaged the world’s
      economy. Businesses have suffered and people’s lives have changed for the
      worse. During these difficult times, many oddities have risen to change
      the way we live for many months and possibly years. There hasn’t yet been
      news as to when this disease will die down. Even though this is not one of
      the hardest-hitting issues the general public is faced with right now, the
      lack of live sports, and subsequently live sports betting, has come as a
      shock to those who rely on such things as their main form of
      entertainment.

<p>
  In lack of football, horse racing, boxing, and other live sporting staples, UK
  citizens are turning to other forms of betting to pass the time during
  lockdown.
</p>
<h2>Gamblers move towards traditional online casino games</h2>
<p>
  Classic casino games, poker, and online slots are quickly becoming favoured
  alternatives for many. Operator 888 holdings reported a 38% surge in the price
  of their stock the day after Prime Minister Boris Johnson announced the
  nationwide lockdown. As you can imagine, this is extremely good news for the
  operator since, like most bookmakers, it had experienced a huge decline in
  revenue during the previous week.
</p>
[getstarted][welcomepack]
<p>
  The increased marketing efforts put in place by sportsbooks online and on TV
  focusing on their non-sports betting opportunities may have partly caused this
  shift.
</p>
<p>
  Also expected, is that players will become more familiar with newer forms of
  social betting such as live casino games that allow players to interact with
  the live host and other players as they place bets. This area of the casino
  could prove to be pivotal in helping combat loneliness during this extended
  lockdown period.
</p>
<p>
  Still, it remains to be seen just how long live casino studios can stay open
  and live on air, since Evolution Gaming, a major player, have already been
  forced to temporarily shut down their Tbilisi studio as a way of slowing and
  preventing the spread of COVID-19.
</p>
<h2>From the ashes of sportsbooks, unorthodox betting markets arise</h2>
<p>
  Many players have found their way to traditional online casino games, yet some
  unorthodox betting markets have opened to fill the gap left by the lack of
  sports.
</p>
<p>
  eSports was thought to be the product to fill this immense void left in the
  betting market, a presumption that proved true just days after the loss of
  mainstream sporting events.
</p>
<p>
  Bookmaker Ladbrokes quickly jumped on board as primary sponsors to a recent
  worldwide 128 knockout-style FIFA tournament organized by Leyton Orient
  Football Club in a bid to help morale amongst football fans and help raise
  money for mental health charity MIND. This sponsorship was perceived by many
  as a stroke of genius.
</p>
<p>
  Popular eSports markets such as CS:GO, League of Legends, and DOTA have not
  yet been confirmed to have experienced a rise in the number of bets placed
  upon them. Undoubtedly, though, bookmakers and those heavily involved in the
  eSports betting scene will see this as a huge opportunity to strike while the
  iron is hot.

<p>Unbelievable tales from the world of gambling.</p>

Believe It or Not

<p>
  <b><i>Here at WestCasino, we’ve recently concluded our two weeks long
      Valentine’s Day promotion ingeniously dubbed Wheel of Hearts. Besides
      giving an extremely endearing shout out to romantic love, the spectacular
      event whole-heartedly offered WestCasino players a magnificent myriad of
      amazing bonuses EVERY DAY plus a chance to win the massive Cupid’s Fortune
      prize pool. Continue reading to find out how the heart-warming promotion
      worked, what fabulous prizes we’ve given out, and how many lucky players
      won big at WestCasino!</i></b>
</p>
<div>

</div>
<h2>Giving the Wheel of Hearts a Spin to Win</h2>
<p>
  The main feature of the Wheel of Hearts promotion was the wheel itself. Every
  day, players could spin the wheel and receive a guaranteed prize such as Free
  Spins, generous deposit bonuses on a great selection of games, and the highly
  coveted Free Cash. Each prize came with its own topical Valentine’s Day
  symbol.
</p>
<p>
  After the electrifying click of a button, the Wheel began to spin. What an
  adrenaline rush! You never knew what you were going to get – it was entirely
  up to chance – but players knew that there were treasures to be found wherever
  the Wheel stopped. After the edge-of-your-seat spin, players collected their
  prizes and used whatever sensational bonuses they got towards a much more
  beneficial playtime. The first time I spun the Wheel, I got 25 Free Spins on
  NetEnt’s ghastly Ghost Pirates with NO DEPOSIT required. I had a good run that
  even ended with some winnings.
</p>
<p>
  Prizes aside, the promotion’s page was truly something to behold. Every aspect
  of its design, from Wheel to background, screamed Valentine’s Day but with a
  subtle, almost elegant touch. The combination of pink and purple was easy on
  the eyes and it engulfed the player in a romantic, yet profitable atmosphere.
</p>
[getstarted][welcomepack]
<h2>The Fruitful Path to Cupid’s Fortune</h2>
<p>
  All players who spun the Wheel of Hearts and deposited 50 were automatically
  eligible to win Cupid’s mind-blowing Fortune. Here’s how it worked – a small
  percentage of each deposit was added to the bewildering prize pool. The
  campaign started on January 29th and as it progressed, the prize pool only got
  bigger and bigger, up to a whopping €140.000! If that’s not a great incentive
  for players, I don’t know what is. Needless to say, all WestCasino players
  dreamt of celebrating 2020’s Valentine’s Day deeply in love and buried in
  cash. However, there would only be ten lucky winners who would share the
  staggering amount between themselves.
</p>
<p>The winner of 1st place received 40% of Cupid’s Fortune - €56,000.</p>
<p>The winner of 2nd place received 30% of Cupid’s Fortune - €42,000.</p>
<p>The winner of 3rd place received 20% of Cupid’s Fortune - €28,000.</p>
<p>
  The winners of 4th to 10th place received an equal share out of the remaining
  10% of Cupid’s Fortune - €14,000, €2,000 each.
</p>
<p>
  The competition was extremely tight since over 11.500 players participated in
  the contest. The lucky winners were selected on February 14th, on Valentine’s
  Day, which is, sadly, also the day that our mega-promotion ended.
</p>
<p>
  Congratulations to all winners! I’d sure like to be in their shoes right now!
</p>
<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>
  Wheel of Hearts was an extremely exciting contest that celebrated love as well
  as big winnings. Even though Valentine’s Day is a special enough day already,
  WestCasino sweetened the deal with our massive €140.000 prize pool and our
  delightful daily prizes.
</p>
<p>
  It was an absolute blast to give players the opportunity to spin the Wheel
  every day and to get something out of it as well! I’m sure that every one of
  WestCasino’s players enjoyed it as much as we did and that they will keep
  their eyes peeled for the next profit-packed promotion!

Funtastic Calendar | WestCasino

Funtastic Calendar

<p>
  <b><i>To a newbie, the online casino world might seem a little daunting. The
      flashing lights, the loud noises, the tremendous amounts of money that
      expert players both win and lose – these are just a few simple elements in
      an otherwise vast and complex digital environment. Most online casinos,
      however, try to give newcomers at least a basic understanding of how
      things work. After all, it’s beneficial to them for a player to become
      acquainted with their website since an informed player is liable to take
      more risks and, as a result, deposit more money. As opposed to a novice,
      an expert player sheds his or her timidity and tries to meet that big win
      head-on. To do that, they take advantage of the bonuses that online
      casinos give out.
    </i></b>
</p>
<div>
  <img src="https://api.westcasino.com/media/article/213bab87-990d-46ad-858b-0c667bc76d6a.jpg">
</div>
<h2>How bonuses work</h2>
<p>
  The most important thing that a beginner needs to understand is how bonuses
  work. Online casinos give out bonuses both to attract and keep players. These
  bonuses may include free spins, deposit bonuses, and no-deposit bonuses. But
  there’s a catch! Every bonus comes with wagering requirements. What are
  wagering requirements? Well, they’re casino-designed safeguards against
  gamblers who would just withdraw everything and run away with the funds.
  Needless to say, that would be a tremendous inconvenience for a deposit-based
  business. Think about it. They have to account for paying their staff,
  licensing games, covering office rent, and more.
</p>
<p>
  Most worthwhile casinos start their new players off with a Welcome Bonus.
  That’s usually the best bonus that you’ll be receiving during your playtime.
  As previously stated, it’s an incentive to attract new players. Unlike
  land-based casinos, they can’t offer players free dinners or live
  entertainment. For example, WestCasino’s Welcome Bonus comes in five steps:
</p>
<ol>
  <li>
    100% bonus up to €250 plus 100 free spins on Book of Dead on your first
    deposit
  </li>
  <li>50% bonus up to €200 plus on your second deposit</li>
  <li>200 free spins on Sahara Nights on your third deposit</li>
  <li>
    70% bonus up to €200 plus 70 free spins on Reactoonz on your fourth deposit
  </li>
  <li>
    Access to WestCasino’s Funtastic Calendar starting with your fifth deposit
  </li>
</ol>
<p>
  Let’s take the first step and explain it. If you get a 100% bonus up to €250,
  that means that your first deposit can range from the minimum deposit to a
  maximum €250. So, if you deposit, let’s say, €100, you get a 100% match bonus
  which equals another €100. You’d be playing with €200 from the start. Couple
  this bonus with a ton of free spins and newbies are going to have a profitable
  first gambling session.
</p>
<p>
  For players new to the online gambling world, risking their own money is often
  stressful. That’s why some casinos offer new clients no-deposit bonuses so
  that they can play with zero risks. These bonuses are far smaller but they’re
  a great way to learn how it all works without the risk of losing cash. The
  wagering requirements on these no-deposit bonuses are very high, though. Keep
  that in mind.
</p>
<p>
  A little piece of advice? Before depositing money at any online casino, always
  check out their Terms and Conditions. It’s a tedious job, we know, but you’ll
  be richer for the experience. Remember! An informed player is an efficient
  player. Plus, you lower the risk of being blind-sided with a bonus abuse
  allegation and, as a result, confiscation of funds.
</p>
[getstarted][welcomepack]
<h2>What is online gaming bonus abuse?</h2>
<p>
  Basically, this term amounts to using one or more schemes to earn a bonus much
  easier. These scammers are a problem for the online gambling industry in
  general. Most players, however, don’t think that they’re doing anything wrong.
  Instead, they might just feel that they’ve found a creative way to win faster.
  That’s the problem with bonus abuse. Many gamblers don’t know that they’re
  being abusers. They simply realize that they can satisfy the wagering
  requirements faster by placing bigger bets. Most casinos have stipulations in
  their Terms and Conditions that prohibits wagers higher than €100 per round
  with an active bonus. Even if that’s not the case, casinos may revoke a bonus
  if they feel that a player bets big just to clear wagering requirements.
</p>
<h2>What you can do to avoid being a bonus abuser</h2>
<p>
  When bonus abusers are caught they have to deal with the consequences. They
  might lose their bonus, get banned, or, even worse, have their entire deposit
  confiscated. You should do whatever is necessary to avoid being labeled a
  bonus abuser. How?
</p>

<p>- Don’t place big bets just to earn bonuses.</p>
<p>- Know a casino’s rules on bonuses. Read the Terms and Conditions.</p>
<p>- Avoid irregular play. This varies from casino to casino.</p>

<h2>Conclusion</h2>
<p>
  Bonuses are a great way to have an edge when gambling online. However, you
  should always be informed when trying out a new casino. Read the Terms and
  Conditions, check out wagering requirements and avoid abusing bonuses as much
  as possible. If you’re ever falsely accused of bonus abuse, there are third
  parties out there like AskGamblers.com that you can take your complaint to.
  They will listen to both sides of the story and resolve the dispute
  efficiently and elegantly. Lastly, gambling is about winning big and having
  fun. Make sure to do both!

A Beginner's Guide to Understanding Online Casino Bonuses

<p>
  <b><i>Known as the “Gambling capital of the world” or “The Monte Carlo of the
      East”, the former Portuguese colony of Macau is China’s only location
      where gambling is legal. Gambling tourism is Macau’s biggest source of
      revenue, making about 50% of its economy. On February 5th, however,
      following the recent coronavirus outbreak, the majestic city has become a
      near-ghost town during what is typically its busiest time of the year.
      Because the local government has drastically limited visits from mainland
      China, arrivals have suffered a significant 69% drop. Coupled with the
      impact of a slowing Chinese economy and anti-government protests in
      neighboring Hong Kong, the virus is worrying Macau officials deeply.
    </i></b>
</p>
<div>
  <img src="https://api.westcasino.com/media/article/9d9acbd3-23ee-4050-b5be-6c6fdf80d4c1.jpg">
</div>
<p>
  The outbreak also coincides with the Lunar New Year holiday during which Macau
  enjoys record visitation. Analysts forecast a decline in gaming revenue of at
  least 30% for as long as health restrictions and strict entry regulations on
  tourists are in place. Casinos say they are losing between US$1.5 million –
  US$2.6 million daily to keep their staff on payroll and maintain contractual
  obligations. Their operators’ share prices have also plunged by as much as 6%
  for MGM China Holdings Ltd., 5.7% for Sands China Ltd, 4.8% for Wynn Macau Ltd
  and 4.7% for Galaxy Entertainment Group Ltd.
</p>
[getstarted][welcomepack]
<p>
  Starting with February 20th, the government allowed casinos to reopen after a
  two-week suspension aimed at controlling the virus outbreak. Nonetheless, the
  gaming regulator has imposed strict rules: temperature checks, mask protection
  and health declarations for staff and guests. To ensure adequate distance
  between people, only half the tables on a casino floor are permitted to
  operate. Clients are not permitted to congregate, according to a government
  notice. Baccarat tables, which normally seat seven people and dozens of
  observers, will only allow four players.
</p>
<p>
  All operators have 30 days to start functioning normally as mandated by the
  government. Analysts and executives predict that despite casinos reopening,
  gaming revenue will drop at least 80% in February and 50% in March. It will
  take weeks to get back to normal even though Macau has only reported 10 cases
  of coronavirus infection and no new cases since February 4th.
</p>
<p>
  Besides casinos, nearly 30 hotels have been shut down. That includes shows,
  non-gaming attractions, and most restaurants. Authorities have stated that
  until further notice entertainment venues including bars will remain closed.
  According to official figures, hotel occupancy has dropped from 90% last year
  ago to 12%.
</p>
<p>
  Even though Macau’s government has pledged US$3.4 billion to support domestic
  consumption, many businesses dependent on tourists and casinos have been
  seriously affected.
</p>
<p>
  The coronavirus has infected more than 70.000 people across China, with close
  to 1.700 deaths reported in the Hubei province alone.

  The most successful people in many industries are taking the lead in the fight
  against the global coronavirus pandemic to promote a sense of solidarity to
  people in need during this crisis. Dan Smith has been organizing several
  charities in the last seven years, bringing poker pros and daily fantasy
  sports players together to participate. So far, they’ve helped raise millions!
</p>
[getstarted][welcomepack]
<p>
  The efforts of Smith and his collaborators came to be known as Double Up Drive
  starting in 2018. Recently, Smith announced the latest Double Up Drive: an
  emergency drive in response to the coronavirus outbreak that is currently
  gripping much of the world.
</p>
<p>
  “This COVID-19 pandemic is really unprecedented and horrific. There’s really
  nothing we can do other than sit and wait while everyone’s in crisis,” Smith
  told CardPlayer after announcing the drive. “I tend to be someone who really
  likes to be proactive about doing things. So, having to sit and wait is really
  not good for my mental health. I kind of felt like I was waking up without a
  purpose. There’s only so much Sopranos I could watch each day. I decided to
  reach out to some people and it kind of got snowballing pretty quickly until
  now we have $250,000 ready to go to a bunch of families who are really in need
  and these dark times.”
</p>
<p>
  Double Up Drive has pledged $250,000 in matching funds, thanks to donations
  from the likes of reigning Card Player Player of the Year Stephen Chidwick,
  high-stakes cash game legend Daniel ‘Jungleman’ Cates, and an anonymous donor.
  Up to $500 of every donation made will be matched from those funds until the
  $250,000 fund is exhausted.
</p>
<p>
  Double Up Drive is partnering with GiveDirectly for this effort. GiveDirectly
  is a nonprofit organization that makes direct cash transfers to those in need.
</p>
<p>
  “Studies have shown that people in crisis really just need money rather than
  other things that you could give,” said Smith. “GiveDirectly, as an
  organization is one of the highest-rated charities in the world by all of the
  metrics [used to assess charitable organizations]. And they do a great job of
  making sure money goes directly into the hands of people that need it the
  most. For every dollar you donate, they’re expecting that over 90 cents will
  go into somebody’s hands.”
</p>
<p>
  “[GiveDirectly] were operating in New York, San Francisco and Seattle. Now
  they’re able to launch in Las Vegas, which I’m really proud of and I think is
  great. Some people have criticized me in the past for my drives not doing
  enough for U.S.-focused causes. I think Las Vegas is going to be hit really
  hard, and I think it’s great that this drive is going to hopefully be able to
  do some good for the city.”

  return to work,” said union Secretary-Treasurer Geoconda Argüello-Kline. “The
  health and safety of both workers and casino guests is our top priority.”

  Starting tomorrow, employees who have been called back to work can schedule an
  appointment to be tested at the Convention Center. The program is free to all
  workers.

  Workers will receive additional information from the Culinary Union on how to
  go about scheduling their appointment. MGM, Caesars, and Boyd are all union
  casino properties. The Culinary Union represents 60,000 members in Las Vegas
  and Reno working in casino resorts.

  companies have furloughed some 60,000 employees.
