Recent reports have stated that the CEO and founder of one of the internet’s gaming social networks, Mark Campbell, has been accused of the killing of his wife.

Campbell, 53, allegedly attacked his wife Olga Pleguezuelos, while she was sleeping, after reading a text message on her phone that her lover has sent.

Pleguezuelos was reported dead last year after police found her lifeless body in her London home. The trial of Campbell in the case is currently underway.

The prosecutions arguments lie with Pleguezuelos waking up in the middle of the attack and attempted to defend herself against her husband. Campbell then proceeded to stab his wife to death. Prior to calling an ambulance, Campbell has slit his own wrists.

A week prior to the murder, Pleguezuelos had reportedly told her husband that she would be leaving him and moving to Las Vegas, where with her new man and new job she would be “starting afresh”.

The prosecutor stated that there was “nothing sudden or temporarily about it; that one could see from his own writings recovered from a bin, that he has been rationalising this situation for a while”.

Proceedings in the trial continue.

After a greatly publicised and successful relationship with Cryptologic, an online casino software developer for over five years, which proved a very profitable endeavour for both parties, things in the relationship have turned soar.

The software developer has taken up arbitration proceedings opposing the comic designers. The reasoning behind their actions is stated due to Marvel apparently breaching their provisions as stated in the licensing agreement.

The partnership that began in 2005 between these two power-house brands was set to continue ‘til 2013 with Cryptologic holding exclusive licensing rights that would have let them use any of the Marvel-inspired superheroes as characters and themes for a collection of their slot games. To date, 17 various slot machines have used many characters including Spiderman, Blade, the Hulk and more.

However, in 2009, another deal was signed between marvel subsidiary (Marvel B.V) and PlayTech, which is in direct competition with Cryptologic.

In recent reports, it was said that Cryptologic had attempted to resolve the issues with marvel away from the courts but found themselves faced with an uncooperative Marvel. The software developer sees this legal action as a final resort in order to protect their licensing rights.

David’s company, Instabill, Inc., has used Automated Clearing House transactions to move cash around from player accounts to various offshore shell companies.

Operators in the online casino industry have stated their opinion on the recent French laws, which have opened the online gambling community in the country to much concern over companies not being able to prosper.

Gambling operators located internationally, who are willing to accept the business of the French have complained about taxes and additional restrictions that would pull profits, and give the existing gambling monopoly an unfair advantage.

New laws in the country do not allow online blackjack or roulette options of play, due to the Francaise de Jeux having the monopoly over these casino games. Sports betting will be allowed, but will have an 8.8 per cent tax; this percentage being a lot higher than many bookmakers would like.

Insiders have suggested that the Francaise de Jeux could lead to an offset of exposure through sports betting together with table games, but international casino operators will be left with increased risk propositions. With the exclusion of casino games it has been stated that the monopoly would be just fine.

Recent information has surfaced that these French online casino regulations have not been found to comply with European Union (EU) rules as stated by the Court of Justice. Numerous nations have been involved in heated debates over the issue of online casino gambling as well as the free markets, with response to the problems being slow.

The second high profile online casino owner in the last 12 months has died.

Police are currently investigating the death of Kenneth Weitzner, the founder of ThePrescription.com (therx.com); the company he sold eight years ago for more than $2 million. This followed with the inception of the online casino portal EOG.com (Eye on Gambling) which he founded. He was also a frequent punter of big sports books within Las Vegas; he was also a good friend of one of the states betting sharks, Billy Walters.

Initial investigations have revealed that both Kenneth as well as Jackie, his wife had committed a double suicide. Police officials have however also stated that the exact cause of the deaths had not been established, with investigations into the deaths still an ongoing process.

Rumours have circulated in various casino communities that Kenneth owed many people quite a bit of cash. The cause of this debt could possibility be due to gambling, but it is still up for debate as to why Jackie would have been considered a target.

As mentioned, Kenneth is the latest casino owner to be found dead. Andreas Oscarsson, the founder of pokerlistings.com was found murdered less than a year ago. It has been noted that Andreas had received a death threat due to the testimony he gave in the trial of a man attempting to extort over $2 million from him.

The news of Kenneth’s death is set to create a lot of buzz within gambling circles, and until police finalise their investigation into the couple’s deaths, the interest in the case is sure to continue.
