The Swedish online gambling software provider Net Entertainment AB has successfully applied for a Category Two licence issued by the Alderney Gambling Control Commission, opening access to the respected jurisdiction by Net Entertainment licensees.

“We are proud to add Net Entertainment to our list of world-class licensed suppliers,” said Robin Le Provost, director of e-commerce development for Alderney, located in the Channel Isles.

“Our rigorous licensing and verification process is widely seen as a seal of approval of the highest order, which is a key reason why we have become a major European hub for the online gaming industry.”

A statement from Net Entertainment advised that the licence has other benefits, among them the possibility to offer disaster and crisis recovery services to licensees once it has established a new hi-tech hosting site.

Chief executive Johan Ohman said: “Net Entertainment has always focused on providing the highest reliability and availability and it should, therefore, come as no surprise that we are one of the first suppliers to provide disaster recovery services.

“There are today massive values at stake for the leading operators and this is why we are convinced that disaster recovery solutions will become a key prerequisite for doing business moving forward.”

Sunday’s action at the £10,000 buy-in World Series of Poker Europe Main Event in London saw the already reduced field cut by two thirds, leaving just 22 players to fight it out for a place at the final table.

By the end of a day in which chip leader changes were frequent, relatively unknown player Ronald Lee was top of the leader board on 947,000, ahead of nearest opponents David Peters on 829,000 and Andrew Pantling (821,000).

The enigmatic Viktor Blom, who started the day as chip leader, is still in the running and is fifth in the list of top ten competitors, just ahead of Phil Ivey.

The money bubble broke at the 37th elimination, guaranteeing the surviving players at least £21,206 from a prize pool worth £3,460,000 generated by the 346 entrants for the event.

Among the players still standing at the end of Day 3 were Hoyt Corkins, Nicolas Levi, Arnaud Mattern, Barney Boatman, Roland de Wolfe, two-time WSOP bracelet winner Greg Mueller and Bojan Gledovic, all keen to pick up the tempting main prize of £830,401 and a winner’s bracelet.

Not so fortunate were big names like Freddy Deeb, Barry Greenstein, Yevgeniy Timoshenko, James Mitchell and Bryn Kenney, who at least cashed, and those who headed for the exit with nothing at all such as November Niner John Dolan, Huck Seed, JP Kelly, Dan Shak, Nam Le and Daniel Negreanu, along with the last two women survivors, Barbara Martinez and Almira Scripchenko.

Okay, this much we know about online gambling in South Africa. The North Gauteng High Court says that online casinos are illegal. The Gauteng Gambling Board agrees and plans to have any violators arrested. Many online casinos, such as Piggs Peak, disagree and are appealing the decision. The GGB says that the country’s laws about online gambling are crystal clear while Piggs Peak says that they will resume online gambling operations in the country once the confusion is resolved. So obviously somebody is wrong.

Here’s another interesting variable, though. Online betting is perfectly legal there. As
