Virgin Casino revamps their Website

Virgin Casino has come up with a revamped site and is asking visitors as well players their opinion of the new layout. Visiting the old site gives you a message which invites you to try out the new site and give feedback. There is not much difference between the old site and the new, proposed site.

The colour scheme is the same with a tiled background added to the page. While the old site which Virgin casino calls their classic site was known and easy to navigate, the new site seems a tad confusing at first look. The main differences are the links which were on the left of the page being moved to the top in the new site. Games are not listed on the home page which players can preview, gather information and get a demo before they play for money.

Players get to preview different games such as slots, European Roulette, Blackjack, Slots and Monopoly on the home page. Almost all the games display in the preview have three links namely information, demo play and play now. One advantage of this new site is players get some idea about the game on the preview page itself without having to navigate to other pages.

The ‘latest winners’ link is missing and instead the list of winners is streamed on the top right of the page. Promotions which used to be listed on a separate page on the old site are now listed on the bottom of the page.

Virgin Casino wishes to get feedback about their site and have come up with an offer. Players who fill up the website feedback survey get to earn 100 V*Points and will be entered into a draw where one lucky winner will get an iPad2. The survey asks question relating to navigation, the look and feel of the site, time taken to navigate to different sections, the best feature as well as the worst feature and suggestions for improvement of the site.

Celtic Casino offers Live Roulette

Players at Celtic Casino are in for good news as the site has decided to offer live roulette. Launched in 2010 by Costa Rican operator Visionary iGaming, the casino was until now offering non-stop instant games which included roulette, blackjack and baccarat.

A statement released by the casino said that real dealers from the Sporting Emporium private casino club in Dublin, Ireland, have enabled them to join the elite group of live roulette casinos. They further claimed to be the only casino to offer live roulette from a real live bricks-and-mortar casino.

Celtic Casino was in news recently when they announced the addition of real-time roulette to its existing list of games which include slots, blackjack, poker and baccarat. Players at the live casino could not play roulette earlier as the site didn’t offer this game but the problem has been solved now with the addition of live roulette at the site. The live gaming site claims to offer the most authentic online casino experience to their members.

Newcomers registering at Celtic Casino can take advantage of the 50% cash back bonus offer where they can get 50% cash back on any net losses incurred on the first deposit during the first week of play. The maximum amount which can be claimed by a player is €100.

The casino also offers a reward program where players receive $75 for every friend they refer. There is no limit on the number of referrals a player can make. To top this, the casino has offered an awesome promotion where the winner will take home a new Celtic Green Honda Interceptor motorcycle.

Those who love to roar down the streets on a motorcycle will find this an irresistible offer. Players can participate in this offer by depositing €100 into their account. Every €100 deposited at the casino gives one ticket to the prize draw which will be held on 31st November 2011.

PlayerVerify.com Launches New Player Verification System

Registration at an online casino requires you to send your data over the internet. It’s a known fact that sending the data online is not safe as it can get into the hands of fraudsters and scammers. In such a scenario, players are worried about transmitting their details online and some avoid playing at certain online casinos where they’re not sure whether their data will remain safe.

Online casinos are pinning their hopes on a new gambling technology, PlayerVerify.com, which was launched recently. This technology is most likely to solve the problem of data security as they offer players new protection when they register for an online casino account.

Under this new system, players will not be required to submit hard documents to confirm their identity. Instead, they will be able to send documents electronically, thus allowing them to send important data without having to worry about it getting into the wrong hands.

The system will become centralised as customers will have to login once and upload their documents online. Once this is done, they will be assigned a unique access code which can be used when they register at different online casinos. The major advantage of this system is, sensitive data will not be revealed at the time of every registration.

Further, customers will be able to keep a track of who is viewing their data in real time thus offering better security. They will even have the option to lock their document once their registration is approved by the casino operator thus ensuring that the information is limited to a single portal instead of multiple servers.

This new secure system will end all the data security problems as players will no longer have to send in their information via unsecured emails. Gaming sites as well as players will find the online verification system pretty useful and safe.
