Obama Gives A Huge Gift To The Online Gambling Industry

Posted on December 27, 2011

ELRA A Justice Department opinion made public this week provides a huge opening for the online gambling industry.

Online gambling in all forms has been prohibited by the Wire Act of 1961, which forbids gambling via telecommunications across state lines.

The new opinion, however, says that the act applies only to sports betting.

Online lotteries in New York and Virginia are on the table now. This could open the door for online gambling — which was slammed by the DoJ only months.

Online gambling provides an easy revenue source for beleaguered states. Similarly the DoJ has pursued new revenue by authorizing new powers for investigating tax dodgers from California to Switzerland.

This is great for companies like Elray Gaming (ELRA) Read below:

Based on our research and the company’s recent increase in revenue projections, The Stock Wizards believes ELRA could be a dominating force in the Online Casino space and we encourage our subscribers to keep ELRA on their radar!

ELRA has offices in the USA, London, South Africa and Mauritius and has support facilities in Israel, Curacao and the Philippines.

ELRA is a developer of turnkey gaming products, and is currently developing a host of social networking and mobile applications for the investor community.

According to Global Betting and Gaming Consultants (“GBGC”), the global gaming market, excluding the U.S., is expected to grow to approximately $13.9 billion per year by 2012.

Internet gambling revenues for offshore companies was estimated to be $5.9 billion in 2008 from players in the United States and $21.0 billion from players worldwide, according to H2 Gambling Capital.

The Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act of 2006 (“UIGEA”) became U.S. law in late 2006 and effectively curtailed legal participation by U.S. players in online gambling.

As a result of the passing of the UIGEA, many online gaming companies had to shift their business models to prevent U.S. player participation. Complying with online gambling law requires sophisticated Internet and financial compliance techniques and many companies were unwilling or unable to comply.

A number of companies have been unable to overcome the technical and financial challenges caused by the passing of the UIGEA with the result that they have been unable to replace lost revenues to the extent necessary to be viable operators.

As a result, opportunities exist for acquisitions and joint ventures by the compaies such as ELRAY GAMING that are scalable and set to comply with U.S. online gaming laws.

For smaller operators, the passing of the UIGEA effectively curtailed many operations as they were unable to make the transition to an off-shore dominated clientele. Elray Gaming believes that this has created opportunities for growth by acquisition and joint ventures.

The activity of these sites could easily be absorbed into the operations of ELRAY GAMING without a significant proportional increase in costs. Additionally opportunities exist in acquiring operators currently using ELRA for management of their gaming operations.

MNAP – Successful Completion of Seismic Campaign 2011 in Mongolia

Posted on December 3, 2011

MNAP BAAR, Switzerland , Dec. 1, 2011 –

Manas Petroleum Corp (“Manas”) (TSX-V: MNP; OTCBB: MNAP) is pleased to announce that Gobi Energy Partners LLC (“Gobi”), a Manas subsidiary and the operator of its exploration project in Mongolia , has completed its 2011 seismic program.

The seismic contract with Sinopec provided for a firm program consisting of 532 km full fold data and an optional program of up to an additional 1,106 km full fold data. The program consisted of eight phases and acquisition began August 25, 2011.

Gobi planned to acquire the most important phases before the beginning of winter and to complete the program in 2012, subject to new information resulting out of the seismic of 2011. On November 25, 2011 , after completing the first seven phases and the key line of the last phase, Manas finished the seismic program after having acquired more data than initially planned and in the face of winter conditions (snow and temperatures of minus 21 degrees C).

A total of 1,311 km full fold data was acquired without any incident. Gobi is using the winter months to interpret the data. If after interpretation of the current data set Gobi determines that it requires additional data; such data would be acquired in 2012.

The specifics of this survey was a real time check process enabling the operator to adjust the program on a just in time basis. After quality control by field processing, accepted data was sent via internet to the fast track processing office and then forwarded on to our G&G team for fast interpretation. In such a way individual lines as well as whole phases were changed to the needed focus. Thus the survey was not only very cost efficient but also resulted in a very prospect oriented seismic.

Final seismic processing and interpretation has begun. Gobi is currently focusing on six areas in order to meet the corporate goal of entering into a drilling contract by the end of the first quarter of 2012 and spud the first well before end of the second quarter.
