Testosterone booster sponsors the WSOP

Is there anything manlier than poker? I  guess we can think of a few activities… can’t we? Now the most important event  of this testosterone driven game: the WSOP is being sponsored by Gamma Labs.

The company manufactures Gamma-O a product  which not only increases strength and energy, but it can also stimulate  concentration. It never crossed my mind that a beverage made out of rice could  help me win at a poker table! Now I’m wondering if it can boost my Kamasutra! I  definitely won’t keep you posted on that matter.

But seriously, in a shark pool like the  WSOP you need all the help you can get. Clifford T. Morgan, Gamma Labs CEO said  it was an exciting opportunity and that Gamma-O was a “natural tie-in for an event  like the World Series of Poker.”

Remember it must be every poker player’s  objective to be at the WSOP’s main event, don’t forget to catch up with our  online satellite tournaments Saturdays and Sundays at 9pm EST. Get a chance to  beat the poker legends at Sin City.

High Stakes Poker R.I.P.

The hottest, most explosive poker show on  the tube is now likely to get cancelled. Even tough high stakes was the number  one show on GSN. The suits on the game network decided to take another  direction and stop producing their finest product. Good call guys!

High stakes was the place where true titans  met. We’re talking about living legends, the likes of Doyle Brunson, Phil  Hellmuth and Mike Matusow. It was a true no limit $500.000 buy-in battle, which  resembled poker at its purest: a game where men could risk it all on the basis  of skill.

Some say the reason for this decision on  GSN’s behalf is the departure of Rich Cronin, GSN’s former president and a true  defender of poker. And things did change after Croning left! The guys at  Pokerati quoted host AJ Benza saying “They're treating us like shit. All we  ever did was make them a bunch of money.”

But that’s not nearly it! Some people say  WPT could also disappear, a rough financial situation, the departure of  bootylicious host Layla Kayleigh and a network that no longer cares for poker  could jeopardize the existence of the show. Let’s just hope WPT goes on long  enough to get Kim Lansing on a Maxim photo shoot.

Update, European Online Gambling Regulations

The Netherlands implemented their own  version of the UIGEA. Unlike the U.S., online-gambling is legal in  most European countries. However, legal gambling takes place only in strongly  protected state owned monopolies.

The Dutch law pretends to stop players from  gambling online on foreign private sites, by keeping banks from processing  transactions towards a list of sites, which was elaborated by the ministry of  Justice.

The measure is but an example of a  tendency, in which most countries are challenging the European Union’s official  position: To put an end to protectionist measures favoring state companies in  the EU.

In Sweeden, State owned monopoly Svenska  Spel presented a lawsuit against Ladbrokes. The company used a logo with a  remarkable resemblance to Skvenka’s in its recent advertisement campaign in Sweden.

Ladbrokes has systematically challenged the  legitimacy of Svenka, by offering themselves as a cost effective alternative  that will eventually become beneficial for customers.

Finally on Denmark the poker community  cheerfully received news that the supreme court as accepted to examine an  appeal which attempts to derogate a 2007 law restricting poker tournaments in  clubs across the country.
