Spanish Online Gaming Regulations and Major Poker Events Announced
The Spanish government's 2012 budget includes significant updates on online gaming regulations. According to the budget, the process of issuing licenses for online gaming will extend until the end of May. This extension comes after an initial indication that licenses would begin in March.
The budget also mentions the creation of Jdigital, an association formed to represent the interests of various actors in the digital gaming industry in Spain. Jdigital aims to collaborate and advise regulators, with members including Aureka Internet, which represents EducaPoker and Poker-Red.
In the world of high-stakes poker, The Big One for One Drop tournament is set to take place during the World Series of Poker (WSOP) in Las Vegas. With a buy-in of $1,000,000, the tournament will see a portion of the proceeds, $111,111, going to the One Drop foundation, which focuses on providing clean water to underdeveloped regions. Notable players confirmed for the event include Guy Laliberté, Patrik Antonius, Daniel Negreanu, Johnny Chan, Tom Dwan, Jonathan Duhamel, and Bertrand “ElkY” Grospellier, along with several wealthy entrepreneurs.

Argus RivenI've spent years at the tables — cash and tournaments — and just as long shaping poker copy behind the scenes: room reviews, bonus fine print, tournament notes. At PokerInsider I write the way I wish more sites would: clear structure, honest trade-offs, no hype. Whether you're new or already grinding, I care about what the offer actually costs you — rake, variance, and the fine print — and I treat responsible play as part of the job, not a footnote.
