23 July 2003

Legal Stuff -- The European Commission is requesting more information from Greece about its July 29, 2002 law making it illegal to play any game on a computer in public. The commission, which sent the country a letter last October warning it that the law could violate the European Commission treaty on the free movement of goods, is saying that the law is a possible infringement of European Union Directive 98/43/EC, which requires nations to notify the Commission if they are going to regulate the online distribution of goods and services.

Congrats -- Michael Shackleford of Wizard of Odds is the winner of the Alaskan Carnival Cruise that Casino Pays gave away during this year's Global Interactive Gaming Summit and Expo in Montreal. The promotion was part of Casino Pays' grand opening celebration for CarnivalCasino.com.
