Online Gambling Preview For August 2008
(PRWEB) August 5, 2008 -- Finally the wait is over and the 2008 Olympic Games are ready to kick off in Beijing. After all the turmoil involving the Olympic flame and pro-Tibet demonstrations and the concerns over the pollution in Beijing, we can finally look forward to what will certainly be a memorable event. As expected, online casinos and sports betting websites are getting into the act. "There are some really cool promotions to take advantage of during Olympics month, over and above the regular betting possibilities that the games offer punters," said Ryan D, editor at Online Gambling Insider.
The first featured Olympics promotion is at Europa Casino (http://www.online-gambling-insider.com/online-gambling/ogi-europa-casino.html), a gambling site powered by the industry leading Playtech software platform. During the month of August, Europa plans to give away 50,000 Euros in extra wagering bonuses. Every day during the month, three players will win Gold (250 Euros), Silver (100 Euros) and Bronze (50 Euros) prizes each. Europa Casino unfortunately does not accept US real money players.
The second Olympic casino promotion features at Online Gambling Insider comes courtesy of Intertops Casino (http://www.online-gambling-insider.com/online-gambling/ogi-intertops-casino.html), powered by the multiple award winning Microgaming casino software platform. Intertops.com Casino is celebrating the Olympics by giving away $12,000 each week during August to their top 200 players. The awarding of credits will take place every Monday and Wednesday during August.
Staying on the subject of the Olympics, most major online sportsbooks have posted odds on the the various Olympic events. Sites such as Sportsbook.com (http://www.online-gambling-insider.com/online-gambling/ogi-sportsbook.com-review.html) have China as the favorite to win the most Gold medals at 5/6 with the USA at even money. There is little surprise that the US "Redeem Team" men's basketball is the favorite to take Gold at a ridic8ulously certain 1/5. Bookies are giving Spain 3/1 odds to cause an upset.
July was a lot busier than June in the online casino world with some interesting new casinos and a couple of exciting promotions being launched. The most interesting casino launch was the all new Onlinevegas.com (http://www.online-gambling-insider.com/online-gambling/ogi-onlinevegas-casino.html) casino, powered by the Vegas Technology platform. The casino commits to a massive $5000 in bonuses and welcomes players from just about everywhere, including the USA.
To celebrate their birthday, Grand Mondial Casino (http://www.online-gambling-insider.com/online-gambling/ogi-grand-mondial-casino.html) has decided to prolong their free 22 spins promotion into August. That's right, you get 22 free spins and you get to keep the winnings. The promotion is valid on some of their latest video slots so it's well worth it for players to visit this exciting casino that also offers $400 in sign up bonuses.
"We will continue to keep players up to date with the latest promotions during the course of the month," said Ryan.
