  • Buy Paddy Power shares. Their site doesn’t work.

    Quick post: If a brand has cornered market share in their home market, and the site goes down becuase it was the “busiest day ever” – then something tells me that business is good. And if they are publicly-quoted company, you can be part of the business. Guess what? Their shares went up 1% today…

  • I’m moving all my blog content.

    To a new theme and new platform from blogger.com to WordPress. Bear with me. It’ll be epic. Or, there will be pics, not 100% sure yet. I’m still twittering at same url: http://twitter.com/betonliamcasey A bientot, Liam

  • >World Cup Shnizzle – Interesting Bits

    >Ok – so the World Cup is officially the biggest bandwagon ever. Analysts have predicted the biggest two months of online betting spend ever, and I’m predicting that you’ll be sick of crap World Cup tie-ins before it even starts. This is (wihout a doubt) the most un-PC, unsuitable, poor taste, definitely not endorsed by…

  • >Who’s taking the horse to France? (Part ii)

    >Called it part ii because I’m short on inspiration today – and there’s more stuff that I think is interesting about gambling regulation in France…I’ve also got an update on Ladbrokes & Will Hill. Did you know that France’s gambling laws stretch back to 1539 and an edict passed by King Francois the 1st? That’s…

  • >Who’s taking the (Gambling) horse to France?

    >For those that remember the “…who’s taking the horse to France…” good ‘ole Kerrygold ads – here is the online gambling equivalent with the provisional list of operators that will be licensed by the French governement for online betting & gaming. It’s a list of 11 – and there are some notables missing. Obviously no…

  • Back in the saddle of blogging. Some online gambling thoughts first.

    It’s been too long. Blogging about the business of internet gaming / marketing /  gambling has just felt like extra work – and god knows, I’ve got enough real work to be going on with. What’s happening on the day-to-day business of online gaming front for me? I’m overseeing 2 x casinos, 2 x poker…

  • The Field of Dreams – If you build it…

    …will they come? That seems to be the question a lot of online gaming operators are asking themselves at the moment. Regional markets seem to be the new online gaming battlegrounds for the established and less established operators. The pronouncements by the EU competition commissioner (Charlie McCreevy) that regional country markets need to open up…

  • >Blogiscpline – The discipline of Blogging

    >Tipping point, friendquest, repurposing, and my current personal favourite – aquadextrous (the ability to turn off taps in the bath with both feet) may all be considered part of the current lexicon of buzzwords, to which I want to add my own – “blogiscpline”. It’s the discipline of blogging. I originally started this blog as…

  • >Paddy Power Poker Open – An opinion

    Sexy TV coverage, great sets, obviously a lot of work’s gone into a really good production – but you know what… …there are very few Irish poker players that are good with the blarney, and vaguely anodynely attractive enough for TV. The unfortunate thing is that the Paddy power online qualifiers (that made it to…
