US venture capital 21Ventures announces seed investment in in Israeli anti-cheat software company CogniSafe Ltd. – Anti-cheat software provider for online-games

October 5, 2008

21Ventures, a U.S. based venture capital firm, announced today a seed investment in CogniSafe Ltd. – an Israeli company providing real-time anti-cheat software solution for online games .

The funding is earmarked for sales and marketing and ongoing product development.

“CogniSafe brings an exciting new approach to solve the cheating problem in online games, a problem which causes significant losses to gaming companies and harms the players ability to enjoy the challenge and adventure of a cheat-free game environment. Just like online banking and commerce services, the online gaming industry is vulnerable to fraud and cheating, but no real time solution has been presented so far to solve the cheating problem. We believe that CogniSafe solution will become the standard in detection and prevention of cheating in online games and we are happy to be among the first to identify CogniSafe potential” said David Anthony, Managing Partner of 21Ventures.

The cheating problem in online games causes game providers to remove tens of thousands of paying players every month, due to suspected cheating. The removal is usually done following a complaint from other players, or after a post mortem analysis of player’s actions. In addition a significant number of legitimate players abandon some game titles, and cease paying, when they feel they have been cheated.
CogniSafe’s solution enables online game providers to detect, in real time, any deviation from proper gaming procedures by the online players, and remove cheaters from participation in the game, thus makes cheating attempts futile and enables other players to continue and enjoy a cheat-free gaming experience.

“There is a clear need in the market for a real-time solution that will enable the gaming companies to really understand the magnitude of the cheating phenomena, gather evidence against cheaters, and remove them from the game before they affect the gaming experience for other players ”, said Izik Shimon, CEO of CogniSafe. Izik continues “We are already engaged with several leaders in the online gaming industry, which understand the potential of increasing the integrity of their games and avoiding significant losses, by working with CogniSafe”.

Online Gambling Summit to Take Place in Kentucky Next Week

October 5, 2008

The Internet Commerce Association (ICA), a non-profit trade organization representing domain-name investors and developers and the direct search industry, is responding to Kentucky’s attempt to seize 141 domain names of online gambling companies by holding what it’s calling an emergency summit.

Hosted by the Bluegrass Institute, which calls itself “an independent research and educational institution offering free-market solutions to Kentucky’s most pressing problems,” the summit takes place 1 p.m. Oct. 6 at the Capital Plaza Hotel-Frankfort in Kentucky’s capital.

Scheduled to appear on the panel are representatives from the Poker Players Alliance, Interactive Media Entertainment & Gaming Association, and the Americans for Tax Reform organization, as well as ICA executive director Michael Collins.

The summit takes place a day before a Kentucky judge is set to decide if the Commonwealth has the right to seize the domain names used to gamble and play poker by using a law that allows Kentucky to seize gambling devices. The Commonwealth is arguing that URLs should be considered gambling devices in this case.

The summit will focus on why the ICA believes the seizure is wrong and how it violates the commerce clause of the U.S. Constitution. People interested in attending the summit should visit www.internetcommerce.org.

Vernons Pools Asks Will This Be The Biggest Ever Online Slot Machine Payout Ever

October 5, 2008

Vernons Pools, a leading UK online gaming company, has seen a tenfold increase in online slots players over the last six months, with the growth in players driving the jackpot of its ‘Clover Rollover’ slot game past the 1.2 million mark – making it one of the biggest online slot machine jackpots in the world.

The jackpot has grown by 250,000 a month since April this year, even increasing at a rate of 10,000 a day on occasions, as online gamers clamour to line up five shamrocks to claim the top prize.

It’s not the only online slot game promising mammoth jackpots, as another Vernons’ game, Cleopatra’s Chest has already passed the 250,000 mark, with total jackpots across seven games reaching 1.8 million and rising.

Recent research into online gaming trends reveals that currently 62 per cent of online slot machine players are female, with the game proving particularly popular with players aged between 35-50. As the number of overall online gamers and levels of spending continues to buck the economic trend, it has been slots that have seen the biggest jump in popularity, being simple to play and offering higher chances to win than many other popular games.

Martin Williams, e-gaming manager for Vernons.co.uk, said: “It seems that there’s no limit to the size of jackpots that can be won on online slots. Having our Clover Rollover jackpot rise by up to 10,000 a day is simply staggering, and demonstrates the growth of the online slot machine phenomenon across the UK.”

Online bingo craze in the UK

September 23, 2008

Once the transition took place to the Internet, Bingo games have dramatically changed their accessibility for millions of people sitting at their home comfortably to play enchanting online bingo games of assorted varieties through 1900 online Bingo sites. The fun and thrill hit the roof when they hit a jackpot, because apart from Bingo all the sites also provide ample chances to win big prize monies through the side games, slot machines being popular ones.

Latest news is Crown Bingo has crowned one of their players online, who hit the biggest jackpot ever offered by them to a player playing the side games. The lucky winner is a lady aged 52, Lillian Gibson from Lancashire, (need any more proof for the frenzy of British lady folks in playing online Bingo and other games?) and what she did was playing the popular side game namely Pirates Plunder. Plundering the huge progressive jackpot of £17,186.04 took her only £1.50 to be wagered for playing 15 lines at 10p a stake!

She sat dazed and scaring the computer screen in disbelief, when she struck the mountain of a prize money with as little as £1.50 stake. Then coming back to senses, her joy found no bound to contact Crown Bingo operators to receive the big bingo prize. She happily revealed that she is planning a big family holiday, depositing on a holiday home in Spain as also celebrating a wonderful Christmas this year.

The point is to caution you – Beware this joyful jolt can occur to you anytime while playing your choicest Bingo games or any other slot machines games online!
