The next Casino Affiliate marketing trade show will be held on June 7 – 8th, 2008, in Moscow, Russia. It is open to internet casino, sports book, poker, mobile, bingo, and P2P business executives and to all Eastern European affiliates. Sponsored by Ticonderoga Ventures, Inc., this is the inaugural event in the region and is designed to help Eastern European nations in setting up their advanced casino affiliation programs and helping them in their marketing and advertising methods, targeted to the specific market and languages.
It has been noted by casino industry affiliate managers that many Eastern European affiliates have higher percentages than the average affiliate. Performance from the affiliates tends to be better and the regions are very high revenue producing entities as compared to other casino affiliates around the world. These high revenue affiliates are known as Super Affiliates. An Affiliate Convention held in Amsterdam last month was attended by over 1,100 delegates and over 600 affiliates. Between 175 and 250 Super Affiliates also were in attendance at the Amsterdam Casino Affiliate Convention.
The Casino Affiliate Conventions have become the largest events in the online gaming industry, but the Eastern European affiliates require visas in order to enter the popular trade show. This requires quite a bit of effort on the part of the affiliates and unfortunately many are unable to attend the conventions in the west. In order to make it easier for these affiliate members to meet with managers and conduct casino business, the CAC2008 is being held in Moscow.
Anyone interested in attending the CAC2008 Moscow can log onto their official website for more information about businesses and online casinos that will be attending. There is information available on traveling to Moscow that includes all the visa information visitors will need. Entering the country will require that attendees comply with the special requirements that are listed on the website.
This trade show is the first one of its kind for online casino affiliates who are looking for more information in marketing and promoting their websites and the sites they are affiliated with. It will allow affiliates and their affiliate managers to network and cover new ideas that will aid in making their affiliations a success. CAC2008 Asia will return to Macau, China for the second year in a row. It will be held on November 20 – 21st, 2008.
Ticonderoga Ventures, Inc. will also be holding a Forex market conference for affiliates on July 25 – 26th, 2008 in Las Vegas.

The Californian Assemblyman Lloyd Levine has taken on the quest against the UIGEA legislation. He has successfully managed to bring a bill to investigate a possible legalization of online gambling through a committee and, thus, one step closer to a vote in the legislature. The aim of Levine’s bill is to determine whether UIGEA binds states, or whether states individually can pass their own laws on the online gambling industry. Lloyd Levine has read between the lines of the UIGEA legislation, and has reached the conclusion that there might be an opening in the legal text allowing for individual states to legalize on online gambling as long as both the operator and the player are located within the same state. Levin’s bill, the Gambling Control/California Intrastate Online Poker Act, was passed unanimously last Wednesday by the Committee on Governmental Organizations. This was the first step on a long journey through the legislation apparatus, and nest it will have to stand its test at the state Appropriations Committee.
Levin’s bill is yet another contribution in the growing protest against the UIGEA legislation, which has paralyzed the American online gambling industry since 2006. Many other initiatives have seen the light, but nothing concrete has yet happened. It seems stronger forces are working against the liberators on the field. By having the bill passed, Lloyd Levine hopes to achieve a clarification of whether the murky and confusing language of the UIGEA law in fact allows for intrastate gambling or not. If so, California will be likely to allow for authorization and taxing of legal online casinos. And many more states are expected to follow suit. If not imposing full fledged online casino legalization, at least they are expected to legalize poker play.
The controversy reaches back to the Constitutional Law. When the Constitution was added the Bill of Rights, it sparked a discussion whether this was in deed a necessary amendment. Patrick Henry famously refused to sign the Constitution after this amendment, claiming that a list of what the federal government could not do was unnecessary. He claimed that anything not expressly granted in the Constitution was automatically forbidden to the national government, and by adding the specific list of rights, it became debatable whether rights not expressly listed may be legally infringed. This is the loophole Levine hopes to explore in order to bring about a legalization of online gambling. If he can prove that the ban against online gambling is not part of the rights bill and therefore does not apply to the individual states to follow, he might stand a chance to revoke the ban. However controversial and complicated this bill might be, it certainly will rock some boats before it will be settled.
