Rebecca's Recommendations - August 25, 2006

25 August 2006

By Rebecca Liggero

I have a very important announcement to make. No, Ron Jeremy did not propose to me (yet), but nice try. Anyway, remember the guy I interviewed and told to google my full name as I have nothing to hide? Well, we hired him. Oh yes. And he accepted! Thank god- I would have felt so bad if I was personally responsible for scaring him away. Good thing he accepted before my trip to Costa Rica with Gambling 911- thanks to my partner in crime, now when you google my name the results are even more horrifying. GAMBLING 911 IS TRYING TO RUIN MY LIFE! No, I'm just kidding. It is all in good fun. Also, please keep in mind that you can never believe anything you see or read in the media- it is all fabrication, exaggeration and manipulation. Seriously! So have you heard enough about my travels yet? If so, please keep reading- today I am going to tell you about weekend casino specials and an exclusive bingo offer for Casino City players.

Lets start with casinos. I will be honest with you- I really like the Casino Tropez, Titan Poker and Cameo Casino group for two reasons: 1)I love the company behind these sites and 2)I especially love my main contact at this company. Actually, this main contact of mine is getting married in a few weeks to a lovely lady that I have never met, but certainly hope to someday. Not only does my contact do great work for Casino City and for his company, but he is a pleasure to spend time with, and get this, he does not booty call me! Imagine that! Oh well, what can you do- you can't blame these guys for trying. Anyway, this favorite company of mine also represents two casinos, Vegas Red and Europa Casino, that have specials running this weekend for all registered players. Vegas Red is hosting the "Elite Challenge", a slots competition where players can literally spin their way to $500 free. The highest wagerer this weekend will win $500, the second highest will win $300, third highest $100 and fourth through twentieth will win $30. Also, Europa Casino is offering a weekend special during which you can play any of your favorite table games and get a $10 bonus for every 100 comps you earn (up to $100 free). Lastly, please check out Poker Ocean- it is brand new and owned by the same company as the above casinos- if you sign up right now you can claim a 50% match bonus up to $200.

Now it is time for bingo. My contact at Sunshine Bingo suggested that we put together an exclusive offer for Casino City visitors, so here it is! Sign up with Sunshine Bingo through this newsletter and you will automatically be entered into a raffle to win $50. The Casino City winner will be chosen on September 1st, exactly one week from today. Also, Sunshine Bingo offers 100 bingo cards and $10 free to all new players, and all new depositing players receive a 200% first deposit bonus and an up to 250% subsequent deposit bonus. There is no download required to play at Sunshine Bingo, so the entire process should be easy and perfect for a relaxing weekend activity.

Ok, I'm off. I have a GPWA Conference and speech to prepare for. Enjoy your weekend, and I apologize for the repeat picture- he's just so goddamn cute. I could not resist. Rebecca and Ron

Rebecca Liggero

Rebecca Liggero, a native of Wellesley, Massachusetts, has always loved meeting new people, building relationships, and traveling the world – perfect qualities for someone who, since early 2005, has won many friends and influenced countless people in the worldwide online gaming community.

After graduating from Bates College with a degree in psychology, Rebecca spent four years in Washington, DC, working in relationship management, dreaming all the while about someday making it big in online gaming. After turning down an opportunity to live in New Zealand, she moved back to Boston and signed on as Senior Account Manager for Casino City – the beginning of a dream come true!

Rebecca’s work on behalf of Casino City (and later for the GPWA as well) took her to trade shows and conferences everywhere – Amsterdam, Barcelona, Costa Rica, Montreal, London, Las Vegas, Macau and many other ports of call – and along the way she began chronicling her incredible around-the-clock adventures in a wildly entertaining and industry-savvy weekly column that quickly became – and still remains – must reading for everyone who is anyone in online gaming. Following almost three years with the Casino City team, Rebecca spent a few months at Everest Affiliates where she was the Brand Manager of the affiliate program. While working on “the other side,” she realized that she truly missed her weekly column and the affiliate side of the business and decided to return to the Casino City family.

One and a half years later, Rebecca resigned from Casino City and joined industry icon Calvin Ayre to serve as the Bodog Global Brand Ambassador and the head on-site reporter for the online gambling industry tablog, CalvinAyre.com. In her new capacity, Rebecca continues to travel the world, and when asked where she is based, her response is usually "on an airplane."
