The rumors and news regarding the latest cheating scandals at sister sites Absolute Poker and Ultimate Bet didn’t die down even almost year passed from the second one. The latest parent company’s launch of a new online poker network had made the whole case fresh a little bit longer than some thought so.

The Asian market is now considered already colonized by online casinos and internet gambling companies. All of the bigger companies have already established some partnerships with Asian companies and will continue to expand in that market. The Asian market is indeed a very promising one, however many companies are already looking into other markets. To be precise, at the Middle East and Africa. Poker Stars is a outgoing company in the gambling industry. They are quite innovative in their methods, recently they have announced a banner deal with Yatinoo, a search engine quite often used in Saudi Arabia and Egypt.

It is a first deal like that. It is a big step for the online gambling industry to get closer to the middle east and Africa.

There are people who think that some of the gambling sites are getting too big for the market. Those sites are mainly the major gambling sites with recognizable brand names and can boast about their huge profits. In order to grow even larger, these companies acquire smaller ones. The smaller companies, often with good quality offers themselves are being dominated. They are shut down because of the big companies taking all their gamblers and than get acquired and add to the big company that has even more profits and it goes on like that.

Such things make people think, is the gambling market really a place for small companies? Even if they can give you a wonderful time, great gambling experience and a friendly community, they will eventually be overwhelmed and acquired by one of the bigger companies. The past few years have shown that it is a fact that the a large number of small companies have been acquired by the big ones. If this continues, eventually we will be left with a handful of gambling giants that dominate all domains.

With the recognized companies getting bigger every day, it is a very hard job for the smaller ones to compete with them. It’s impossible unless they have some sort of great advantage or an ace up their sleeve. Niche online casino gambling sites are quite popular for the smaller business, if the software is white labeled. There is a bunch of smaller sites, all have had their software white labeled. It decreases the cost of software and make it a bit easier for the smaller companies to stay in the industry.

Gala Coral is one of the online casino gaming groups hit by the recent recession lately. They have had quite some problems over the last year. Some people think it is impossible for Gala to go out of the GBP 4.2 billion debt. However they are still not letting go and will try do their best in order not to go off the market. There are people concerned about the fact that Gala has been running the last year with a deficit. Even though private investors have given additional funds into the company.

The online gambling industry has been hit hard at some places, while others have taken it lightly. There are even companies that announced their profits not dropping when compared to the last year profits. Gala’s biggest problem is the fact that despite the money flowing from private investors, there is still a recession in their online casino and internet bingo sites. Even with more care added to the sector, it does not seem that the number of players or profits have increased.

There have been figures published not long ago that show that Gala Coral has suffered a 397 million yearly pretax loss. However not all of that should be considered because of online casinos. In fact, Gala has closed down 10% of its internet gambling and bingo business. They have sacked some extra employees and disabled extra services. It is an indication that if the situation doesn’t improve quickly there might be more employees sent away from the company.
