Rebecca's Recommendations - March 31, 2006

31 March 2006

By Rebecca Liggero

Welcome back. Happy Friday! I am very excited to deliver my news for the week because it involves a special inside scoop for Casino City players, FREE offers for everyone, and information about a very good cause that you can participate in. You won't be disappointed...

Let's begin with an inside scoop that I have for you guys. Due to my close relationship with the team behind English Harbour
and SuperSlots, they have agreed to allow new depositing Casino City players to participate in promotion that has been communicated to existing players only. On Sunday, April 2nd, the World Champion Chicago White Sox (no, not Red...very sad...) will be taking on the Cleveland Indians for Opening Day. In anticipation of this special day, any $50 deposit at English Harbour
or SuperSlots
will get players $10 free every day until April 2nd. Not to mention both English Harbour
and SuperSlots
have an exclusive promotion for Casino City players as well: any real money sign up will receive $5 in their account within one business day. I hope you enjoy this special offer and "countdown to baseball" promo, and don't ever forget, the RED SOX RULE!

Now I'd like to bring your attention to Platinum Play's "Free Play Worth $200" promotion that began just two days ago. Platinum Play, part of the Fortune Lounge family, is offering $200 for players to use in the casino AND players get to keep their winnings. How does this work? When a player signs up with Platinum Play, they are given a competition account and immediately provided with $200 worth of Casino Credits. From this point forward, once the player has wagered the $200 requirement, any amount above the initial $200 will be credited to their account. Bottom line: you get to keep your winnings!!! For those of you who don't already know, Fortune Lounge is one of the oldest and most established online casino groups in the business. Nine online casinos and three online poker sites, such as Platinum Play, 7 Sultans and Royal Vegas, make up the Fortune Lounge family. As a side note, the folks behind Fortune Lounge are an absolute DELIGHT to work with, each and every one of them. There is one individual in particular (he will remain nameless) that I plan to drink and smoke (relax, its legal) under the table when we are all in Amsterdam for a conference in a couple of weeks...

While we are on the subject of free play, I want to remind you of another incredible promo out there. The Casino Rewards guys have arranged a "Your First Hour is on the House" promotion at Casino Classic AND Captain Cooks Casino. To get your first free hour, open up an account with Casino Classic or Captain Cooks, sign up for the promo, and $500 will automatically appear in your account. You can use this money to play at the casino for your first hour, and yes, you get to keep your winnings! If you would like to take a free hour at both Casino Classic and Captain Cooks, no problem, just be sure to deposit at one of the Casino Rewards casinos, including Classic or Cooks, before taking your second hour.

Now it's time for the good cause. For all my New Yorkers out there, the National Hemophilia Foundation will be hosting a charity poker and Game Night event on Tuesday, April 4th, at the ESPN Zone in New York City's Times Square. General admission for the event is $75 and includes $250 in gaming chips to use for a variety of casino games. In addition, a Texas Hold'em tournament will be taking place (now a $500 buy-in as opposed to the original $1000 buy-in) and the grand prize, sponsored by CASINO CITY, includes a seat in the WSOP, spending cash, and travel expenses. There are many more prizes to be won at this event, and best of all, the proceeds from Game Night will benefit people affected by hemophilia and other bleeding and clotting disorders. For more information, please check the first article under "Online Gaming News" or visit NHF Game Night 2006.

Ok, that's it for now... Rebecca

Enjoy the final four this weekend,

Rebecca

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."
