The production of the €10 million feature film, based on the life of Carl Gustaf Mannerheim – the father of modern Finland – that was indefinitely postponed earlier this year after more than ten years in development due to a lack of funding, is now all set to finally becoming a reality after online gaming operator Unibet stepped in to provide funding for the project.

Better known for its sponsorship of sporting clubs, Unibet’s role as the main supporter of the movie represents the company’s first investment in the field of culture in Finland.
 
Petter Nylander, CEO, Unibet said that the Company had already been looking for a suitable culture-related project for some time and when the Company was presented with the opportunity to become the film’s main supporter, the Company could not possibly have imagined a better project than the feature film about the life of Mannerheim.
 
The film is expected to begin shooting on 17th August this year and will be directed by Renny Harlin. Oscar-winning make-up artist Greg Cannom is in charge of Mannerheim’s ageing appearance in this film. The feature film is scheduled to premier in October 2010.
 
This feature film shall take the viewer on the journey of the life of Baron Carl Gustaf Emil Mannerheim, who was the Commander-in-Chief of Finland’s Defence Forces. Mannerheim was made the Marshal of Finland, and for a brief period, was also the Regent of Finland.

After the First World War, Mannerheim secured recognition of Finnish independence from Britain and the United States, thus being instrumental in establishing Finland as a presidential republic in the year 1919. Mannerheim also served as the sixth president of Finland from 1944 to 1946.

This feature film is no wonder awaited with bated breath by the Republic of Finland and also the movie buffs alike.

Ofcom – the UK media regulator has announced plans that will enable commercial TV stations in Great Britain to broadcast transactional gambling programming throughout the night from next month onwards.
 
From June, all transactional gambling on TV that invites viewers to pay money to take part in gaming or betting will be treated as teleshopping content. This will replace the existing system under which transactional gaming could be treated as either teleshopping or editorial content.
 
Transactional gaming programmes – reclassified as teleshopping – will be allowed to air through the night on Public Service Broadcast channels (PBS) such as ITV, Channel 4 and Channel 5.
 
The reclassification will see an increase in the number of hours of transactional gaming programmes on TV in Great Britain, but will also mean that no such programming can be broadcast before midnight.
 
Ofcom said the changes would result in improved consumer protection. The Advertising Code under which teleshopping is regulated contains specific rules that, among other things, prevent gambling being aimed at young people and prevent the use of misleading claims in teleshopping broadcasts.
 
Opponents argue that the new regulation will give people greater access to gambling and for longer periods, which could result in irresponsible gambling behaviour from the general viewing public.
 
Ofcom however has rejected this claim, pointing out that transactional gambling has been available to PSB channels for a number of years, during which time it was treated as conventional programming, offering less consumer protection. As a result of these changes, the PSB channels will no longer have the option to show transactional gambling until after midnight, thereby minimising exposure to young people.
 
Previously programming of this type by non-UK European companies or those in white-listed jurisdictions fell outside the control of the Gambling Commission and the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).

Reclassified as teleshopping, such programming now falls under the control of the ASA, where specific rules regarding gambling advertising are already in place and aligned with the objectives of the Gambling Commission.

Clientele of the online gaming operator bwin have in the recent days found themselves to be the target of an e-mail phishing assault. Phishing is the criminally fraudulent process by which attempts are made to acquire the important personal information of individuals, such as credit card numbers, passwords and account data from unwary users online.
 
Several clients of bwin have complained this week of receiving an e-mail which appears to have come from bwin, offering a number of exclusive prizes to the customers upon entry to a raffle draw. In order to take part in the competition, the recipients are provided with a link to log-in to what appears to be the bwin site. In reality, the link takes customers to bwinpoker, an imitation site from where the user’s details are then stolen.
 
The customers who had and are logging into the site would risk standing to lose sensitive information, including log-ins and passwords of the customers.
 
Various other online poker forums have also suggested that the customers have been attracted by an e-mail sent to their account saying that they have won a prize. But in order to claim the prize the customer must deposit an initial amount of $500. This less subtle scam then goes on to advice the players to not to log-in to their bwin account for the next four days. This advice of not to log-in for the next 4 days is so given because presumably the contents of the account of the customer are being emptied.
 
bwin is understood to be looking into the matter, and any customers who believe they may have been a victim of this fraud are urged to contact the company’s customer services straight away.

Online gaming solutions provider Microgaming has announced that its decade long association with Intertops Casino – one of the Company’s first licensees – is to end due to Intertops decision to re-enter the U.S market.

This announcement comes close on the heels following last year’s challenge by the State of Kentucky to seize the Company’s domain names in a dispute over illegal gambling. Keeping in mind the adverse ruling Microgaming thereafter desisted from specifically serving U.S-based casino players.

The move followed the ruling which was passed last year by a Franklin Circuit Court Judge which gave the site owners 30 days to block access to Kentucky residents or else face forfeiture. Microgaming then decided to block any new U.S casino player sign-ups. This decision was taken in light of the Kentucky case as well as keeping in mind the implementation of the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act or UIGEA of 2006 – a U.S law that requires American financial institutions to block payment to online casinos, poker rooms and bookmakers.

The EU Trade Commission in March this year released the findings of its 12-month investigation into the legality of the U.S.’s ban on online gaming and has asserted that the UIGEA violates the World Trade Organization agreements between the U.S and Europe.

Michl Posch, Intertops’ Head of Marketing, said that the Company is proud to have been powered by such a reputable, market-leading, gaming software provider, Microgaming, over the past decade. The assistance that Microgaming provided in the change process has been extremely helpful to Intertops.

Intertops now have two versions of its online casino which is licensed in Kahnawake and Antigua, a Green and Red version, with the Red casino targeted specifically at U.S customers.

Intertops Poker continues to operate on the Microgaming network and serves U.S. customers.
