Like him or loathe him there is never any hiding from the official fact that no matter whether you try and break it down but it is simply the fact that Mr Richard Branson is possibly the best marketing wizard in the world. The man has had a lot of bad pres as well as good but he has a finger in every pot and he is planning to Storm the gaming market through his gambling sites, so what will we be playing?

Obviously Poker will be at the forefront of the gambling options and all of Branson’s site will have the usual offers of special bonuses and extra deals for wins or commitment.

The Virgin Bonus Daily Free Roll

The main virgin site has a daily free roll which will let the winner scoop 5000 euros from a pool, which as the title says is everyday. Simply register, sign in and follow the path to victory, you could even pocket the first prize of around 1200 euros just for registering.

The Virgin Welcome Bonus game

Virgin poker has another bonus in which you can claim up-to 100 euros and its as simple as cashing out if that’s what you want NO RESTRAINTS!!!!

Richard Branson has the knowledge, the money & the connections to change things in the world of poker ad its now time for him to push the Virgin sites. As you can imagine it wot just be money you can win but I’m guessing for every hand you play you might collate Virgin air miles or bonus TV channels but only time will tell?

Is ranson holding all the right cards?

As it turns out the tax men out in Finland are upping a do about nothing or is it? It turns out that the finnish tax man is hunting down finnish poker players and trying to make them pay tax on there winnings. Letters now have been issued to gamblers posted as winners on poker sites, which are either online or live, one of the tax men said to the newspaper Helsingin Sanomat.

There have been hundreds of posts on gambling message boards and it turns out that seventy or so players have been issued with a declare your winnings order or go to jail. And it must cover all the past five years.

All current wins outside the remit of the European Economic Area shall be studied carefully. The order has raised lots of questions from the winners like how does the tax free status be affected when the event holder is from the European Economic Area, or whether or not the licence was issued or obtained from the EEA.

There is no previous precedent for this so we are in the dark when it come to the chances of the outcome.

But if this goes the full way will tax rates be affected when it comes to losing?
