Sealand Opens Online Casino

August 10, 2007

For the world’s smallest state, it was a big move. The Principality of Sealand announced today that they were opening Sealandcasino.com – which is the first ever national online casino. The state has its own jurisdiction, and is off of the coast of Great Britain, but that it not what makes this move so awesome for online gamblers – they are offering tax free winnings from the online casino to all players.

To celebrate and commemorate the opening of their online casino, they are matching 100% of all first deposits or providing new players with a £100 sign-up bonus. They have more than 300 new online casino games for people to choose from, as well as fifteen progressive slot machine jackpots. These games are already worth more than £2m.

The Principality of Sealand is not above stirring things up a bit, so their opening a national online casino should not come as a surprise to many. The state has its own constitution, flag, anthem, stamps, and coins. This online casino is simply another way that they are celebrating their freedom.

They are offering all Sealand users Loyalty Points each time they place a bet at the online casino. These points can be used for credits in the online casino or you can cash them out. All winnings will be tax free and privately transferred in “any currency to any account in the world.”

So log onto their online casino and see what Sealand has to offer, for even if you don’t find the online gambling to your taste, you can always make a donation to the Principality and become a lord or lady – that might be worth more than the online gambling any day!
