Rebecca's Recommendations - February 9, 2006

9 February 2006

By Rebecca Liggero

Welcome back to Rebecca's Recommendations. I am happy to say that I have FINALLY recovered from my week of madness in St. Thomas and London. Now I need to prepare myself for a trip to Amsterdam in April, the next online gaming show I will be attending. God help me. I mean, Amsterdam?! Uh oh. Anyway, this week I've got a great line up of online gaming promos and information for you. Hopefully you can bring home some significant dough so you won't have to go into debt after buying incredibly overpriced cards, jewelry, chocolate, roses, dinner, lingerie, whatever, for your valentine. Speaking of lingerie, did you see Bodog's Lingerie Bowl last Sunday? I'm all set with watching half naked women with killer bodies tackling each other, but that's just me. Ha ha.

Your First Hour is on the House
Casino Classic, one of Casino City's featured online gaming sites, has just come out with an incredible new promotion that you MUST take advantage of immediately. Casino Classic has decided to offer you 60 minutes to play with $500 of their money. Yes, that's correct- their money. Anything that you win in that 60 minutes (up to $200) is yours to keep, and god forbid, if you lose the $500 that's not even yours to being with, you can still claim the $20 sign up bonus. I really hope you decide to take advantage of this promotion as it is a one of a kind. You can't lose! Literally!

Win a Romantic Trip for Two to Niagra Falls
If you want to impress your valentine with one hell of a V Day gift, go ahead and have some fun with English Harbour and SuperSlots so you can win a trip to Niagra Falls! To receive an entry into the drawing, all you have to do is deposit $100 between now and Monday, February 13th at English Harbour and/or SuperSlots. Have you ever been to Niagra? It is amazing. Please win. And bring me.

Instant Payments: Just Like Vegas, but Faster
Ok, so if you win money at an online casino, you want that money immediately, correct? In most cases, there is a 48 hour waiting period before you can get your hands on that hard earned cash. On the other hand, if you decide to play at top-notch sites such as Golden Reef, Aztec Riches, and UK Casino Club you can receive your winnings INSTANTLY! Not only do these sites offer instant payments, but they also include huge jackpots totaling over 1.5 million dollars and over 130 games to choose from.

Rocking the Casinomeister 2005 Awards
I am very proud to announce that one of my favorite Casino City featured online sites, Vegas Splendido, was positively recognized not once, but twice, in the Casinomeister 2005 Best and Worst of 2005 Awards. If you have not already, you must check out Vegas Splendido. First of all, I know and love the folks behind this fantastic new site. They are lovely. Secondly, Vegas Splendido won Casinomeister's "Best New Casino" and "Best Named Casino" of 2005. Congratulations Vegas Splendido! Also, for a limited time only, you can take advantage of their 100% first deposit bonus of up to $120.

Ok guys, I’m off. As always, please don't forget to take a look at my featured sites of the week down below, and I hope you have an enjoyable Valentine's Day.

Rebecca Liggero

Rebecca Liggero loves meeting new people and traveling – perfect qualities for someone who has won friends and influenced people in the worldwide online gaming community.

After graduating from Bates College with a degree in psychology, Rebecca spent four years in Washington, DC, working in relationship management, dreaming all the while about someday making it big in online gaming. After turning down an opportunity to live in New Zealand, she moved back to Boston and signed on as Senior Account Manager for Casino City – the beginning of a dream come true!

Rebecca’s work on behalf of Casino City (and later for the GPWA as well) took her to trade shows and conferences everywhere – Amsterdam, Barcelona, Costa Rica, Montreal, London, Las Vegas, Macau and many other ports of call – and along the way she began chronicling her incredible around-the-clock adventures in a wildly entertaining and industry-savvy weekly column that quickly became – and still remains – must reading for everyone who is anyone in online gaming. Following almost three years with the Casino City team, Rebecca spent a few months at Everest Affiliates where she was the Brand Manager of the affiliate program. While working on “the other side,” she realized that she truly missed her weekly column and the affiliate side of the business and decided to return to the Casino City family.

One and a half years later, Rebecca resigned from Casino City and joined industry icon Calvin Ayre to serve as the Bodog Global Brand Ambassador and the head on-site reporter for the online gambling industry tablog, CalvinAyre.com. In her new capacity, Rebecca continues to travel the world, and when asked where she is based, her response is usually "on an airplane."
