The Time New Casino Players Shared a €1 Million Windfall

Why do people gamble? For the fun of it; the thrill of pitting your knowledge, your instinct against the house, against your friends. There is no such thing as a “dead cert” in gambling but just sometimes, players can get the upper hand.

If you’re looking for extra money then gambling isn’t the way to do it. For some players looking for an entertaining day on a new gambling site though, a bit of luck meant that was exactly that they found.

In a real life story, trusted casino operator Magic Red left a loophole open which meant its players benefitted to the tune of thousands of euros. This is just one of those times players got the better of the casino.

What Exactly Happened?

The best thing about being a new player at a casino is the range of boosted offers available to you. These range from deposit bonuses, allowing you to double or even triple your money, to free spins on slot games, free credits and more. New players get to maximise their play, try new games and have more chances to win big straightaway; while casino operators get a boosted community of happy players.

In this case, it was a Free Credit offer which left Magic Red players smiling and cost the operator close to €1 million in free deposits and cash prizes.

The Loophole

One of the first players to discover the loophole *Michael McGee, an experienced casino player from Birmingham, explained:

“Magic Red’s new promotional campaign for new customers in UK was supposed to give €10,000 in prizes of additional free credits to all new customers that deposited at least €10 to their account. Unfortunately for them, they had a wording error in the agreement”

Each new customer ended up with up to €10,000 in guaranteed daily prizes of free credits based on the amount of their first deposit. When the likes of McGee started to win, the bill piled up for the casino operator. Always check the bonus money in your account.

Gambling Laws Helped Players Win

So Magic Red spotted the error and were able to fix the error immediately right? Not quite. Regulation in the market is very tight in order to protect players. As a result, the casino operator couldn’t simply close the loophole by changing the terms and conditions. As Michael continued: “getting these bonuses for free is completely legal.”

Magic Red continue to hand out bumper new customer bonuses which are now capped. But even if they aren’t quite up to the crazy amounts mentioned in the story, you can still sign up now and pick up a €200 bonus on your deposit PLUS 100 free spins! Much more free play for your money.

You Win. The House Wins.

With a lot of players having made the best of the bonus money and even though UK manager Philip Halstead labelled the episode a “costly mistake” – responding via email to our inquiry – nobody really lost. The company is “here to stay” as scores of happy players would agree.

One lucky woman, 26-year-old *Karen Hammond from Liverpool, registered with the casino and claimed the €30 free credit and after making her first €10 deposit for playing, she won a Jackpot of €722,644.

Each of the new customers got to benefit with some bonus wins and Magic Red have a casino of new winning players. Let this episode be an example of the benefits of opting into promotions and bonus offers. You never know what you might miss out on.

There is something more astonishing than Conor McGregor: his collection of cars

There is something more astonishing than Conor McGregor: his collection of cars

Pimp and, at the same time, style icon. This is Conor McGregor, the Irishman who has revolutionized the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship) with his continuous bravado and proclaiming himself champion in two categories: Featherweight and Lightweight.

Although his attempt to make the jump to professional boxing last year was stopped by Floyd Mayweather with a K.O. and his most recent fight, just three weeks ago, against the Russian Khabib Nurmagomedov proved disappointing, where McGregor seems to have no rival is in his impressive collection of cars.

Pieces that, like him, move between “macarrismo” and sophistication. Then we review the most striking.

Lamborghini Aventador Roadster

McGregor seems to project three fundamental characteristics of his personality into three qualities of this super sports car: he is loud, brazen, and loves to attract attention.

The white Aventador offers a style typical of the Italian brand, typically exaggerated, with a carbon fiber monocoque chassis and a naturally aspirated 6.5-liter V12 mounted behind the driver’s seat. With 690 horsepower and removable roof, the Aventador Roadster is only comparable to the personality of the Irish fighter and fits with it perfectly. It has a price of $500,000.

Lamborghini Huracán Avio

We are facing the successful continuation of the Gallardo model of the Italian brand, driven by an evolution of the same 5.2-liter V10 that beat in its predecessor. The Hurricane moves in a range of power between the 560 horses offered by the rear-drive variant and the 631 horses of the Performante Hurricane. But, in addition, the special edition Hurricane Avio is the first limited edition of the Hurricane model available and it is precisely to which the McGregor car belongs. It is inspired by aeronautics and only consists of 250 units. Accelerates from 0 to 100 kilometers in 3.2 seconds and reaches a maximum of 325 km / h. Its price is $260,000.

McLaren 12C

It is the first production model of the British brand from F1. Its commercialization was a renaissance for the company, which since then has seen how the P1, the 675LT, the 570S and the 720S have become some of the most desired super sports in the world. At the wheel of 12C McGregor was caught driving in his home country, Ireland, where the police stopped him by driving a racing car. Powered by a 3.8-liter dual-turbo V8 engine, the 12C generates 592 horsepower and sends it to the rear wheels through a 7-speed dual-clutch gearbox. Price: $283,000.

Rolls-Royce Ghost

We now face a model that embodies the class, driven by a V12 double-turbo engine of 6.6 liters that develops 562 horsepower. In general, it turns out to be an elegant but discreet car, although in the case of the one belonging to McGregor, it is covered with a giant vinyl of the face of its famous owner and his name of fighter, ‘Notorious’. He tuned his R-R Ghost just before his fight against Eddie Alvarez in 2016, at Madison Square Garden. Of course, it does not seem like the most orthodox way to decorate a Rolls-Royce, but at McGregor nothing is usually conventional. Before the vinyl has a price of $362,000.

Rolls-Royce Phantom

One of Rolls-Royce’s most popular slogans is “The world needs icons” and, without a doubt, Conor McGregor has become an icon in its own right. The prestigious British car brand imagines this spectacular car for “those whose presence has the power to inspire greatness, those who are heard, but do not need approval.” So this sedan, which exceeds five meters in length, certainly fits in with McGregor. It has a 12-cylinder engine, 6.75 liters and double turbo that delivers 571 HP of power. Its price is $569,000.

Of course, it does not seem like the most orthodox way to decorate a Rolls-Royce, but at McGregor nothing is usually conventional. Before the vinyl has a price of $362,000.

Cadillac Escalade

Like its owner, this impressive SUV has ambition on a large scale. With its rugged design, innovative technology and craftsmanship raised to a greater degree, the Cadillac Escalade is apt to carry an ego the size of Conor. The star of the UFC posed in his new Cadillac Escalade describing it as a new acquisition for his fleet.

This SUV is full of sophistication, strength and refined style from all angles. It can easily accommodate up to eight passengers and has a 16-speaker entertainment system with Centerpoint technology for clear sound. It also has acoustic front glass, doors with triple sealing and an active noise cancellation system that make this Escalade the quietest in history. Price $150,000.

Delorean DMC 12

Although it might seem, Conor McGregor will not star in Marty McFly in the remake of ‘Back to the Future’. Of course, at the time published through his social networks several photos touring Manhattan aboard a DeLorean DMC 12 with blue lighting to make the scene gain intensity. The Delorean DMC 12, which became world famous for its role as a time machine in the classic series of films starring Michael J. Fox, was unique in making use of the paintless stainless steel body. It is also characterized by its gullwing gate. It was manufactured between 1981 and 1982 and in 2008 it was re-marketed until today. The Delorean is powered by a 6-cylinder V-PRV engine and its price is $86,000

BMW i8

It is true that McGregor does not look like the kind of person concerned about achieving a greener environment and less taking into account the “sponge” fuel models that make up his collection. Well, interestingly, among its fleet also counts a hybrid BMW i8. Of course, the fact that it offers a performance worthy of competing with the Porsche 911 is enough reason to own one, on the scale of values ​​of Conor. And is that a hybrid sports car with 369 horses is worth a relaxing time to recharge the battery. It has a price of $190,000.

These are the countries where expats are best paid

These are the countries where expats are best paid

Can you imagine that today your boss calls your office and offers you a job in a foreign subsidiary of your company? There you can perform the same tasks for a considerably higher salary. Go ballot, right? Leave your environment, your friends, maybe your partner and your family for a while. However, it is a decision to which many people have given their yes in recent years, driven in part by the economic crisis and the recession of professional markets. If you are one of them, you should know that the experts endorse your choice: it is the best you have been able to do. If you are not, maybe you should give a couple of turns to this opportunity if you put it on a platter.

The financial multinational services HSBC has conducted a survey among more than 22,000 expatriates around the world, and two thirds of this figure receive higher income in the country of destination than in the country of origin. Of course, it is to be thought: we talk about extra benefits that reach an average of 21,000 dollars per year. The most juicy place to move is Switzerland, where those $ 21,000 are transformed into 61,000, achieving an average salary for immigrants of up to $150,000 per year in the Central European country.

What other interesting data does this study show? That 58% of respondents charge more for doing exactly the same job, and that much of the increase in revenue is due to the fact that in some countries less taxes are paid, such as Hong Kong and Singapore, according to the portal ‘Quartz’. If we return to Switzerland, the preferred destination, we discovered that more than 89% of the expatriates living there arrived more than five years ago, that only 9% worry that life there is more expensive than in their country of origin, and that only 1% is worried about the future of the local economy.

The best countries for expats

All are advantages, right? Especially in the case of women. The HSBC data show that the increase in income in the new destination is greater in them (27%) than in them (23%), and that they are more bilingual and have a better command of other languages ​​that they may have a lot to do with. The best destinations for expatriates are the United States, Hong Kong and, again, Switzerland. It is true that there is still a wage gap, since they receive an average of 112,000 dollars per year, 42,000 less than men; also that they move to another country to improve their labor conditions less than them (27% vs. 47%).

If we compare the two lists, which countries are good for expatriates as well as for employers? China, the United States, India, Indonesia and Japan. And the best cities to start from scratch that better pay? Osaka and Tokyo, in Japan, and Sidney and Adelaide, in Australia.

Now, these are the ten countries to which you must move if you want to charge more for your work, according to the data collected in ‘Quartz’.

10. Australia
Average salary for expatriates: $ 126,000

9. Japan
Average salary for expatriates: $ 127,000

8. Indonesia
Average salary for expatriates: $ 128,000

7. India
Average salary for expatriates: $ 132,000

6. Arab Emirates
Average salary for expatriates: $ 155,000

5. Singapore
Average salary for expatriates: $ 162,000

4. China
Average salary for expatriates: $ 173,000

3. Hong Kong
Average salary for expatriates: $ 179,000

2. United States
Average salary for expatriates: $ 185,000

1. Switzerland
Average salary for expatriates: $ 203,000

25 of The Most Ridiculous, Outrageous, and Downright Confusing Celebrity Tattoos

25 of The Most Ridiculous, Outrageous, and Downright Confusing Celebrity Tattoos
Tattoos are a big part of today’s culture, and stars are not exempt. From hidden script to highly visible art, take a peek at some of these Celebrities and Hollywood’s ink-and what it all means.

1. Kendall Jenner

Yes, Kendall Jenner got her “meow” lip tattoo inked while drunk — and admitted it wasn’t a great idea. She told Ellen DeGeneres, “There’s no real meaning behind it, I just wanted to be able to say that I have a tattoo on my face!”

2. Kylie Jenner

When Kylie Jenner visited celebrity tattoo artist Bang Bang’s studio, she gave him a King Kylie tattoo and also got another for herself: the phonetic spelling of “sanity.” Like her other tattoos, this one is super small and in her signature muted red shade.

3. Rihanna

Rihanna’s camo shark ink is apparently a token of her and Drake’s relationship — and the time when he took her to an aquarium in Toronto where he bought her a stuffed shark. Drake also has the same tattoo on the inside of his arm. What a couple of love sharks.

4. Drake

Drake, meanwhile, has a cologne bottle inked on his shoulder — sadly it’s not a scratch and sniff piece. It also happens to be a play on his old Twitter handle, @drakkardnoir. Talk about creative branding.

5. Pink

Pink’s barcode tattoo on the back of her neck sums up some of the most important numbers in the singer’s life. Th identification label is a combination of her birthday, the release date of her Missundaztood album, and lucky number 13.

6. Ed Sheeran

After Saoirse Ronan appeared in Ed Sheeran’s “Galway Girl” music video, he decided to have her to tattoo the song title on his arm. That sounds like a great idea in theory, only Ronan is the ultimate prankster and spelled it wrong on purpose.

7. Nicole Richie

In a stroke of #astroteen genius, Nicole Richie had “virgin” tattooed on her wrist, but to symbolize her star sign thxm — she’s a Virgo. It’s also a fitting tattoo since Virgos are known for their attention to detail, but sadly, they’re also the butt of many jokes. She got the tattoo when she was 16, but has since called it “embarrassing and desperate.”

8. Justin Bieber

Justin Bieber got this sassy-looking owl tattoo in 2012, after getting five other ones that same year (and, as we all know, many many more since). The black and white owl is right next to his “believe” tattoo and is supposed to represent wisdom. Hey, whatever gets the job done!

9. Johnny Depp

Johnny Depp’s knuckle knuckle tattoo used to say “Slim,” a nickname for his ex-wife Amber Heard. But then the two divorced after Heard accused him of domestic violence, and Depp changed the tattoo to say “Scum.”

He also used to have a tattoo that said “Winona Forever,” for his ex- fiancé, Winona Ryder, which hechanged to say “Wino Forever” after they broke up.

10. Chanel Iman

Model Chanel Iman got this tattoo to remind herself — and forgetful designers — that she’s a model. “You put clothes on a hanger, and you put clothes on a model,” Iman said. “It represents being a model.” Clever.

11. Chris Brown

Four years after pleading guilty to assaulting his then-girlfriend Rihanna, Chris Brown added a tattoo that many have said resembles a battered, bruised woman on his neck to his body art collection. Which is, for all sorts of reasons, in very poor taste.

Following much criticism, Brown’s publicist denied the tattoo is about Rihanna — instead, Brown was apparently inspired by a M.A.C. Cosmetics makeup design that’s supposed to look like a skull from the Mexican Day of the Dead celebration.

12. Miley Cyrus

Miley Cryus is just as expressive and animated as an emoji, so it’s only fitting that she has one tattooed on her lip. She got this one during her The Flaming Lips phase.

13. Amanda Seyfried

Amanda Seyfried had “minge” tattooed on her foot after filming Mamma Mia! — it’s a word her co-star Colin Firth used to say the all the time on set, apparently. In case you don’t know, minge is another word for a woman’s pubic area. So that makes the foot the most logical place for it… right?

14. Emma Watson

Emma Watson was spotted with a cursive tattoo in honor of the #TimesUp movement while attending the Vanity Fair Oscars party. Though Watson’s ode to #TimesUp may only be temporary (probably a good thing since it had a small typo thanks to a missing apostrophe), women in Hollywood are hoping for permanent results.

15. Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus posted an Instagram of her new tattoo and explained its meaning in the caption: “Vegan for life! ?.”

16. Ariana Grande

According to the Sun, Grande and members of her Dangerous Woman tour were tattooed with bees backstage at the Manchester One Love show Sunday. A symbol of the city’s industrial heritage, the insect refers to Manchester’s textile mills in the 1800s, described as “hives of activity.” Citizens have been lining up for bee tattoos after the May 22 bombing.

17. Demi Lovato

After attending the Time 100 gala Tuesday, she had a massive lion’s head inked onto her left hand. Maybe it was a tribute to the essay Ariana Huffington wrote, in which she praised Lovato’s “courage, honesty, and willingness to use her own experiences to help others?” Hmm.

18. Lady Gaga

Lady Gaga kicked off Grammy night by getting a giant tattoo of a moth with a skull for a face. The caption? “The Moth & Metallica.” (Note: she’s playing with Metallica, so this makes total sense. Sort of.)

19. Kesha

“Psychedelic whales are slowly covering my entire body…,” the singer captioned a photo of her new ink. She’s already got a friendly narwhal tattoo, so it’s only a matter of time before her menagerie of sea creatures expands again.

20. Carey Mulligan

Carey Mulligan told Vulture that she believes the teeny tattoo of the seagull on her wrist helped her nab a role in the Steve McQueen flickShame. During the audition process, she mentioned that she was mulling over the idea of a seagull tattoo as a reminder of the character Nina, who she played in a stage performance of The Seagull.

She told him, “There’s this brilliant thing Nina says in Act Four when she comes back and she’s completely f*cked up—she’s had a child with this writer and she’s lost the baby and she’s lived in abject poverty, and she comes back and she’s fraught but she’s got this clarity.” McQueen was a big fan of the idea, and she ended up getting both the tattoo and the role.

21. Lily Collins

Lily Collins is all about the ethereal for her tattoo designs (she has a tattoo of a moonlit fairy under her left breast and an elegant back tattoo that reads “Love Always and Forever”), and the one on her foot is no exception. She told the Daily Mail UK, “The one on my foot is a rose with the words, ‘The nature of this flower is to bloom.’ There’s a single petal falling off to symbolize that I may look delicate, but I’m as strong as a rose,” she says. “I had it done after I finished shooting my film, Love, Rosie.”

22. Megan Fox

The Transformers star has been inked and de-inked a couple times before (she got rid of her Marilyn Monroe tattoo to avoid “attracting negative energy”) but the most prominent is the script on her back that adapts a line from Shakespeare’s King Lear. It reads, “We will all laugh at gilded butterflies” and she has been quoted saying that it’s a reminder “to not get too caught up in Hollywood because people will end up laughing at you.”

23. Jessica Alba

On The Late Show, Jessica Alba revealed to host Stephen Colbert she named her small wrist tattoo “My First Breakup.” The Honest Company CEO said, “It’s lotus in Sanskrit. It means the manifestation of spiritual beauty.” Alba nonchalantly mentioned she got the ink after breaking up with a “famous actor”—who may or may not be NCIS star Michael Weatherly—and finding herself again.

24. Demi Lovato

Demi continues to add ink to her ever-growing collection, this time sharing the news via Snapchat. The singer posted videos while under the needle and later revealed two large roses underneath an older tattoo reading “Stay”. Her snapchat videos appeared to show her getting a back tattoo as well, but Demi has yet to show it off.

25 Selena Gomez

The songstress got one of her newest tattoos in Arabic, which roughly translates to “love yourself first.” It’s all in keeping with her frequent championing of female empowerment and self-love.

Irish Online Gambling Director Fired After a €1 Million Mistake

Advertorial

If you live in Ireland and want to earn some extra money easily, then this may be the most exciting article you’ll ever read.

Trusted casino site Magic Red, has made a costly mistake after launching their online Casino in Ireland that caused the company to lose hundreds of thousands of Euros to its players.

This glitch has already lost them close to €1 million in free deposits and cash prizes and the loss is going to continue to increase until when their new customer agreement takes effect.

What Exactly Happened?

Michael McGee, an experienced Casino player from Belfast who was one of the first players to discover the loophole explains:

“The Magic Red’s new promotional campaign for new customers in Ireland was supposed to give €10,000 in prizes of additional free credits to all new customers that deposited at least €10 to their account. Unfortunately for them, they had a wording error in the agreement so each new customer gets daily up to €10K in guaranteed prizes of free credits based on the amount of their first deposit.

As a result, people are using the €25 deposit and hitting jackpots that are costing the online casino heavily. What is making matters even worse for the company is that there is no way for them to fix it due to the strict gambling laws in Ireland which require Casino companies to notify at least 7 days in advance before changing their terms and conditions. So getting these bonuses for free is completely legal.”

Thousands of Winners

One company’s mistake can be incredibly profitable for everyone else. One lucky woman, 26-year-old Karen Hammond from Limerick, registered with Magic Red and claimed the free welcome bonus and after making her first €25 deposit for playing, she won the Slot Jackpot of €722,647. “I used to dread waking up each morning and going to a job that I hate, all to just be able to cover my rent and bills, now I have so much freedom.”

New Director

Magic Red’s Director in Ireland, Stuart Rogers was fired immediately after the incident and the new manager Philip Halstead has a lot of fixing to do. Halstead responded to our inquiry via email, “This has been a very unfortunate and costly mistake for the company but we have to learn from it and move on. The Irish market is very important to us and we are here to stay even after this costly error for the company.”

Here is how Irish people are claiming their free money:

1. They sign up on Magic Red page

2. They make a small deposit of at least €25 and then use the free credit they receive to win money without a risk of losing and completely legally

Click here to check if this offer is still available in Ireland

UPDATE

As of , the free bonus loophole is still available
New customer agreement will become active on and this loophole can no longer be used.
