Diamond
I
Launches
Another
Casino
March
30,
2008
The
online
gambling
company
Diamond
I
has
launched
another
online
free
online
casino
–
VegasBetLive.com.
The
site
is
for
US
Players,
and
is a
free
poker
website
for
them
as
online
gambling
payment
processing
is
illegal
in
the
country.
Since
the
passing
of
the
Unlawful
Internet
Gambling
enforcement
Act,
many
countries
have
pulled
out
of
the
US
market
for
fear
of
retribution
from
the
country.
However,
some
sites,
such
as
Diamond
I,
have
embraced
the
changes
and
are
working
to
make
sites
that
are
free
for
US
customers.
Some
say
it
seems
a
bit
altruistic
for
an
online
casino
to
create
a
site
that
doesn’t
do
them
any
good,
but
they
would
be
wrong.
This
site,
as
well
as
the
other
free
site
they
have
created,
Island
Blue
Casino.net,
allows
people
to
move
back
and
forth
between
each
of
the
casinos
using
the
same
login
information.
Not
only
that,
but
with
the
number
of
click-through
advertising
programs
that
the
online
casinos
offer,
including
Google
Adsense
and
Amazon.com,
they
are
creating
a
revenue
stream
from
advertising,
instead
of
from
online
gambling.
Both
sites
also
allow
users’
access
to
the
company’s
GS3
wireless
handheld
gaming
unit
that
can
be
used
at
land
based
casinos.
They
think
that
they
are
not
only
allowing
people
the
ability
to
play
their
online
casino
games
for
fun
and
for
free,
but
they
are
also
being
compensated
for
it
in a
perfectly
legal
manner.
The
company
is
further
blessed
by
owning
the
patents
to
their
voice
recognition
and
fingerprint
biometric
security
technologies.
These
processes
will
likely
become
a
hit
in
the
future
for
many
other
casinos.
