New Zealand Online Casinos under New Ownership
The New Zealand Internal Affairs Department has indirectly forced the popular Christchurch Casino group to sell off its seven online gambling sites to a third party. The IAD has warned the group in the past that its online division contravened the country’s gambling laws, and the company finally felt that it would need to sell the operation before receiving a ‘cease and desist’ letter from the government. As a result, some of the most popular sites on the internet, including Kiwi Poker and Kiwi Casino, will come under new, as yet unnamed, ownership. The land-based Christchurch Casino is the country’s oldest and most established, having been in operation since 1994.
Gnuf Partners with Microgaming on New Online Casino Site
Online gamblers are already familiar with the name GNUF when it comes to internet poker. The company recently announced that it was partnering with the software giant, Microgaming that would power its new online casino venture at GNUF. The new site promises to be unique in outlook, with a lot of emphasis on a strong egambling community and intensive player-generated content. Players at the new site will be able to access over 300 exciting Microgaming games, with new ones being added every month.
New Affiliate Program for Online Casino Group
Maharajah Club, the online casino group with a distinctly East Asian flavor, has announced that it is launching a new website that will hopefully attract affiliate partners and thus increase its client base. The group, which runs four sites, including one devoted to cricket, and another to sportsbetting, will offer affiliates two lucrative reward options. Partners can either claim a flat fee for every new customer, or they can claim a certain percentage of the business generated by these customers on the sites. It is expected that many entrepreneurs, media companies and others will jump at this new marketing venture.
