Go on - have a wild guess.

Some things to consider:

1) One of the enterprises - tophatgambling.com - has a frickin' webcounter on it and has registered 46 hits. We're not talking big-time gaming here.

2) I don't recognise their casino software. It could either be a state-of-the-art in-house product or it could be POS rigged software. I know which one I'd lean towards.

3) If you really want to "own" an online casino then some of the more reputable software operators (iglobalmedia, GFED) will give you a casino site for free and you take a share of the profits. At least they used to, anyway. No way should you be paying $2K for a dodgy looking casino.

I look at the main page of all of those sites and all the counters on the home pages have less than 100 hits on them... with unsoliciated calls from someone I've never heard of I would be real weary and wouldn't give them a penny...

What is POS software? WHo uses that?

It's Futurebet or IGS... didn't bother to check any further. Conclusion: Stay the hell away.

Scam

Futurebet hosted Black Rhino Casino among many other scam operations.

IGS hosted Play4Charity and CrownXO - both went bust.

You guys are great. The info very helpful.

I'm an advertising/marketing pro. Won a lot of awards for my creative, ya da ya. When I found out it was possible for me to get into the online biz, I thought it would be an awesome way to make serious cash. I did advertising work for Harrahs, including creative for their online site. Those guys are so conservative, there's only so much you can do. And everything is research driven, so it's very limited in terms of the experience you can create online. (It's not online gambling, but it's kind of the same ballpark.)

Bottom line, I think I can do a LOT better developing an online gaming experience beyond what you get on current online sites.

Would you agree that gaming online shares an experience value just like physical casinos? Vegas was revolutionized when Ceasars introduced the first high level "experience" driven casino.

Do you think the same "experience" value would work online?

Thanks for the offer to provide info.
