No doubt, you’ll have all heard of Rainbow Riches. This hugely popular video slot has been attracting the masses to its Irish luck themed reels for years now. This month, Playtech have joined forces with Scientific Games to bring Rainbow Riches to the online bingo world. Not as a slot, mind you, but as a bingo room. New Features The new bingo room is already live at a handful of online casinos, and contains several innovative features which haven’t previously appeared in the bingo world. As well as boasting two jackpots, the room will also be part of a £100,000 promotion, in the run up to St Patrick’s Day. Two Jackpots One such feature is the Rainbow Road – which featured heavily in the original slot. This allows players to win bronze, silver or gold prizes on a daily basis. The gold prize is based on how many shamrocks have been drawn that day. A secondary jackpot can be won via the Wishing Well feature (which the slot also contains). Play Rainbow Riches at Online Casinos Look for the game at Playtech-powered casinos like bet365 Casino, Winner Casino, William Hill Casino, and Betfred Casino. Partnership Playtech wanted to make this bingo room as faithful to the original slot as possible. So much so, that they enlisted the help of Scientific Games to make this happen. Together the companies have created a social game which will appeal to Rainbow Riches fans, or non-fans alike. Rainbow Riches is available now until at least March 17, in both online and mobile platform bingo sites.
Whoever thought that a losing bet could be profitable? Well that was exactly the case for one lucky punter that placed a £50 football accumulator bet at William Hill Sportsbook. Steven Steen, a 22-year old punter from Liverpool thought that his bet was a bust before he found out that he had actually won £5000. Steven placed his bet on Barnet, Burton, MK Dons, Watford and the Wolves. Each of those bets won, but his sixth bet on Stoke ended in a 1-1 draw with Sunderland meaning that he had lost. To his surprise and due to the ‘acca insurance’ offered by the UK’s biggest online sportsbook, he was able to get a £50 free bet. His was the bet that took William Hill’s concessionary refunds past the £10 million mark, which rewarded him with his winnings. Over £10m in Refunds His may be a rare case, but literally thousands of punters have been refunded this year and on the same night that Steven won his £5000, 250 other punters were refunded with £20 each. “Our customers have really taken advantage of the concessions that have been on offer and we have handed over £10m worth of free bets this season and there are still a couple of weeks to go,” related William Hill spokesman Joe Crilly. William Hill’s Acca insurance was created in 2011 and includes all Bore Draw, Accumulator and Second Goalscorer bets. On Boxing Day alone, the UK sportsbook rewarded a grand total of £234,300 to punters around the world. With the NHL and NBA playoffs, as well as the Champions League, Europa League and other major competitions still going strong, special offers like this could be the push that punters need to make extra cash.

For British players, the UK Gambling Commission (UKGC) is one of the most active regulators when it comes to fostering a safer gaming environment. Nevertheless, it is still helpful for UK players to consider the following factors when seeking a safe place to play. Operating Licence Before joining a casino site or online gambling platform, scroll to the bottom of the homepage to confirm that the operator has a seal or license code from the UKGC. You can also visit the UKGC to try and confirm that a particular iGaming brand or operator is legally providing gambling services in the UK. Legally, no brand can provide real-money gambling services in Great Britain without a UKGC license. Safe Payment Methods In the UK, it is illegal to deposit via credit card whereas debit card transactions are approved. As for eWallets and prepaid cards, check that the site is partnered with well-known providers such as PayPal, NETELLER, Paysafecard, or Skrill. Regarding Bitcoin, PayPal now supports the purchase of cryptocurrencies. However, please consult your site for advice on crypto deposits and practices. 24/7 Support Service is fundamental to the online gambling experience and the top providers are now expected to support users in a variety of ways. In our experience, the leading sites will go beyond email or ticketing systems to communicate with users 24/7 via live chat, telephone, or social media. If you are ever uncertain about anything, it helps to ask your operator for clarification before taking action. Third-party Auditors Auditors are companies that specialize in the independent testing of software, systems, and games at online gambling sites. Although certificates are never guaranteed, it can be reassuring when you do find a seal or a report breaking down the key payout percentages for games. In the industry, we have identified eCOGRA, TST, iTech Labs, BMM, and GLI as some of the most active auditors. Responsible Gambling Policies The British online gambling industry has been transformed for the better by the UKGC work
