ThePOGG.com is proud to launch their casino welcome bonus ratings and reviews which features detailed analysis and value simulations to help players decide if a bonus is right for them. We all know that when confronted with varying terms and conditions it is next to impossible to tell which of two bonuses is better. Our new system addresses this issue, making life easy for players everywhere.

Players look to casino review portals for advice and recommendations to help them make the right decision on where to play and to find the best bonuses. Most player portals advertise bonuses but ultimately provide recommendations based on their opinion, without any sound basis for stating that one bonus is “better” than another. Players care about value and don’t like being deceived and this analysis aims to bring to light the true value of a bonus.

ThePOGG simulated over 350 welcome bonuses (with almost 200 reports still to be published) to determine the value of each bonus for low rollers, mid rollers, high rollers and super high rollers. These figures are then provided so players can get an accurate assessment of how good a bonus is for them once all of the terms and conditions and their own playing style is taken into consideration.

This project was undertaken in partnership with BeatingBonuses using a tool developed several years ago for the assessment of bonuses, but has been implemented in a way intended to replicate various categories of normal player. Each simulation repeats the bonus 10 million times then takes the average result to provide a value for each player type.

Don Best Sports is one of the high profile gaming organisations appearing at this month’s GiGse, which is being held at the Marriot Marquis Marina, San Diego, 26th – 28th April. The company’s president, Benjie Cherniak, provides insight on the status of sports betting in the United States and the main obstacles it has to overcome.

What do you think is the biggest obstacle to overcome with progress on sports betting?

The biggest obstacles remain State and Federal legislative barriers. We also see continued resistance both politically and from some of the professional leagues themselves.

While the leagues do not buy into the legislative approach of the Professional and Amateur Sports Protection Act of 1992 (PASPA), they and other vested entities are keen on looking to formulate a strategy that would afford them a piece of the revenue stream while offering integrity protections. We might then see doors opening sooner on a state by state, if not Federal basis. One may not anticipate such a move in the immediate future, mired as it is in (federal) restrictions currently and the fact that the new US government and Attorney General likely do not lean favourably towards a federal approach.
