Online casinos allow gamblers to play and wager on traditional casino games as well as play Bingo via the Internet.

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.

Tips for Creating wealth from Penny Stocks

Posted on June 4, 2010 by Dana Salvo

Penny stock investing has always been regarded as an investment opportunity for “everyone”. The ratio of investment and the return on investment (ROI) play a significant role in attracting bulk investment in penny stock companies. As a first time investor, many people are unaware of the leaps and bounces that a penny stock market has to offer. Things like risk management and company research are new terms for a novice penny stock investor. At times, day trading in penny stocks offer high volatility, which makes trading a heavy task for some investors and traders. Here are some tips that could help you out with making a sound investment decision in penny stocks.

Volatility Factor: Penny stock markets at times can be very volatile. The day highs and lows may show great differences. You might see your investment rally 100% one day then loose 50% the next. So, always make sure to book profits if you are not sure about the fundamentals of the penny stock company.

Research: Doing a bit of research before deciding on the penny stock portfolio is the key. Try and make sure to add those penny stock companies to your portfolio that have a strong foundation and great fundamentals. Keeping the volatility factor aside, such penny stocks are expected to give you good returns in the longer run. The management research or the order research of the company is also a good idea. Make sure that you also do a bit of debt research of the company in detail. These research tools always help you in understanding where the penny stock will stand over a specified period of time.

Hold your Penny Stock: It’s not every day you’ll find a stock to invest in. As a matter of fact, you’ll no doubt discard a hundred or more for every good investment you find. Once you find a good one hold tight. The penny stock instantly may not begin to show profits but good news about the company may always trigger a rally in the stock.

Investment Planning: Planning your investment is the key to the success of your investment. Make sure to invest a specified proportion of your earning into penny stocks. This leads to better risk and investment management.

I hope these inputs help you understand the methodology of investing in penny stocks.

Rules adopted for profitable trade in penny stock companies

Posted on by Dana Salvo

Penny stock investment is a fast catching trend in America and many parts of Europe. With a low cash investment opportunity and a high level of return on investment, penny stock companies have become the hot choice for modern day investors. Penny stock companies offer high volatility stocks, so as a penny stock investor, it is important that you follow certain golden rules. Here are some important rules you can follow while investing in penny stock companies.

Day Trading: Intra day trading of the penny stock is regarded as the safest method of investment in penny stock companies. You are advised to book profits on the day of placing orders. This eliminates any chance of booking losses on the carry forward orders due to the factors that might be beyond your control.

Management Research: This is again very important. You need to do a thorough research of the management of the company. This helps you understand the foundation of the penny stock company you are willing to invest in. The balance sheet, and cash flow statements of such penny stock companies may not look as good as some of the large cap stocks, but they have value to offer through sound management with experience who can lead them to the next level.

The Exit Strategy: As a penny stock investor, this is a golden rule you must keep in mind. Always know your exit strategy before you enter in a penny stock company. Also, know when to book profits or cut your losses before you enter the position. This is usually a more difficult mental commitment to make.

Be Volume Conscious: Be conscious of the number of shares trading hands everyday. This can drastically affect whether or not you can actually buy or sell shares. Having large volume will help you enter and exit your positions more easily. Look for average volumes over multiple days, as a single day of heavy trading could be the result of a large buyer/seller.

The Hype Machine: Hype always plays a role of misguiding an investor in any market. Same is the case with penny stock investment. You should always keep a check on the viability of the newsletters issued by various penny stock companies before you decide to invest. The parameters of your decision-making will vary depending on whether you are day trading or long term.

I hope these inputs provide you relevant information on making an investment in penny stock companies.

Information Is The Most Valuable Commodity When Trading Stocks

Posted on May 4, 2010 by Dana Salvo

So you want to get into the game of day trading stocks? Whether you’re a rookie or veteran of the stock market, The Stock Wizards encourages traders and investors to look for stocks with forward-looking events. What is a forward-looking event? A forward-looking event is when a company announces publicly through a press release that there will be some kind material event that will affect the company in the future. Another way of looking at it is using the term Catalyst.

How do we find such companies? We gather as much information about a company as we can before investing our hard earned money. Information is the key word here. Remember Michael Douglas’s famous quote from the movie Wall Street? “The most valuable commodity I know of is information, wouldn’t you agree?” And let’s not forget the high tech society we live in today. Information is right at our fingertips so there are no excuses for not doing the research. A little research goes a long way when searching for companies with forward-looking events.
