Skrill, the popular online gaming payment processor has decided to cease transactions for Canadian gamblers. This will be effective in January 2014 after Skill having reviewed its operations but did not disclose specific reasons regarding the cut-off.

The company was acquired recently this year by CVC Capital Partners and earlier this year, Canadian members were notified that that their transactions will no longer be processed via email, reasons for this decision were not given.

In November 2014, Skrill was approved to process transactions for companies serving the New Jersey online gaming and this could be the reason why Skrill has opted to pullout of the Grey Canadian Market and focus on the growing US Market.

Another possibility is the change of management at which the new owners CVC Capital Partners do not opt to take risk than the previous Skrill’s management.

There has been a lot of confusion and the reasons behind this decision is a mystery since there has been no changes in the Canadian’s gambling legislation and the only major reason may be the condition of licensing.

On the other hand, Titan Poker has also withdrawn from the Canadian market as from December and Titan’s Officials announced that Canadian players can keep playing, depositing, withdrawing and winning at the tables.

Poker players come from different walks of life and most of them like to keep a low profile. Even professional poker players who have made a name for themselves on the circuit, tend to bask in the limelight only during tournament wins when they receive media attention, after which they go back to being relatively quiet.

Yet, not everyone is the same and Dan Bilzerian has shown that he is far from being a quiet, low profile poker player. Bilzerian who comes from Los Angeles is a multi-millionaire and he has made most of his money playing online poker.

Bilzerian is extremely famous on Instagram because he constantly updates his profile by posting some of the most outrageous, lavish and interesting pictures of himself and the lifestyle he is able to afford as a result of playing poker.

If you look at Bilzerian Instagram profile you will find that he has more than one hundred thousand followers and a number of pictures showcasing him with scantily clad women, drinking, partying and even his collection of semi-automatic and automatic weapons. Bilzerian is not shy of his lifestyle or wary of showcasing his vast fortune. He is known for posting pictures of large sums of money which he has won by playing poker.

On his Instagram page, Bilzerian describes himself as a 32 year old who is an actor, astronaut and an asshole. While pictures of Bilzerian show that he is fit and in a good shape, this multi-millionaire poker player has had issues with his health. His lifestyle of partying, travelling, drinking, late nights playing poker and other escapades have taken a considerable toll on his health.

Bilzerian has already suffered two heart attacks when he was 25 years old and back in 2011 after pushing himself to play non-stop poker between Maui and Las Vegas during a three day period, he was once again rushed to the hospital. However, this time it was not a heart attack but was diagnosed as a pulmonary embolism.

One of his biggest achievements was winning the 2009 World Series of Poker. Apart from playing poker, he is also one of the co-founders of the online poker room, Victory Poker. Describing how he started his poker career, Bilzerian said

I went broke after sophomore year, gambled away all my money, sold some guns, turned $750 into $10,000, flew to Vegas, turned 10 thousand into $187,000, went back to school, played better

One of the reasons why he is so popular on Instagram is because of his lifestyle and his willingness to make everything public. However, Bilzerian says that he wants to clean up his lifestyle and shed his reputation of being a playboy.

Indianapolis airport is very much vested in wireless gambling technology that will definitely bring in cash to sustain the non-stop flights that are increasing. This was said by Phil Sicuso and Joe Champion. The two, work at Bingham Greenebaum Doll LLP, who revealed the idea in their newsletter called the Indianapolis Business Journal. However, Sicuso shares about a designing of rooms where travellers from all over will be able to play their favourite casino games with handheld devices connected to the net. He also has the view that it would not be a rival to online casinos as this is created for only passengers with tickets only and no one else. In other words they are using this as a customer service for the travellers.

However, the President of the Indianapolis Airport Authority – Mike Wells, agrees that the idea is a smart one but has his doubts that it will actually be successful. However, law makers are hesitant in expanding online gambling even though there is a growth of new casinos that are moving into Indiana’s casino revenue. Last year, the general assembly refused riverboat casino’s proposal to shift to land-based casinos and permit the live table games at two horse racing tracks.

According to the two masters behind the idea, they have a view that to increase the non-stop flights to Indianapolis International Airport millions are required. And Wells also has the view that even if this kicks off, the money will still have to increase to support the non-stop service. At this point it is very fuzzy if the idea airport gambling will triumph.

St Paul International Airport became the first airport out of Nevada to put out on the table gambling. Minnesota put out an offer of pull –tabs in hope to generate $3m for a Vikings Football Stadium. But they soon found out that travellers spent only $34,000 in the first 6 months of the year.

The installing of slot machines has been in question for several years by Chicago officials. The Chicago tribune suggests that airport gambling is not as great as some people may put it out to be. The question is, whether travellers would spend much of their money at the airport than at the traditional casino site.
