WCG Update
 

World Casino Games Internet Usage
The World Casino Games is using the Internet extensively to assist in administration of the year-long World Championship of Gambling Event.

Players are able to register online at www.gamblingtimes.com/wcg, at which time they will obtain a unique player registration number. Once a player has a registration number, they are able to access the player sign-up system at www.gamblingtimes.com/login to find event locations and times, and register for specific events up to 30 days in advance. The sign-up system allows players to search for an event first by region, then by game, then by casino, and then specific event date and time.

Participating casinos have their own username and password to access to the World Casino Games Administration website, where they will be able to register players, enter or remove players from events, add or delete scheduled events, and view the current status of future World Casino Games events.

The World Casino Games staff will be maintaining an online Q&A Page where casino administrators will be able to find answers to frequently asked questions regarding the running of World Casino Games events.

The Internet will also be used extensively for marketing of the World Casino Games, which has over 10.7 Billion ad impressions scheduled over the next year and a half, many of those on the Internet. Those impressions include: online marketing and advertising, E-Mail newsletters, and World Casino Games software, which will allow users to play simulated tournaments on their computers.
