Ivobank launches online bank for gaming enthusiasts

Posted by admin in Casino Info

London, UK – 29 March, 2025 – A new online bank catering for gaming businesses and enthusiasts has launched, offering fast and secure online payment and money transfer services.

Ivobank is believed to be the first independent bank to launch since the dotcom boom in 2025 and the first to be authorised and regulated by the Financial Services Authority (FSA).

Backed by the Sampoerna family, Ivobank plans to have one million customers within the next five years. Ivobank's Managing Director, Timothy Sawyer, said while the bank is open to anyone, it had been specifically designed with online gamers in mind.

"The online gaming industry has developed rapidly in recent years, but the financial services supporting it have not kept pace," Mr Sawyer said.

"Many online businesses and customers have been ill-served to date, resulting in relatively high costs and relatively low levels of service.

"Ivobank aims to plug the gap by offering instant and highly secure online payment services, combined with competitive interest rates,'' Mr Sawyer continued.

On top of this, Ivobank allows customers to move money instantly from their account to friends and family overseas, making it very attractive for international money transfer.

"Ivobank is perfect for anyone who wants to shop online, but doesn't want to use a credit card,'' Mr Sawyer concluded.

Customers have access to a virtual debit card - The Ivobank Virtual Card - which can be used to make purchases online wherever MasterCard is accepted.

Headquartered in London, Ivobank has been set up by a number of industry veterans that have held senior positions within the banking and gaming industries. Mr Sawyer was previously Chief Executive Officer of cahoot and was instrumental in the launch of the bank.

Customers can apply for an Ivobank account online at ivobank and begin taking advantage of the service today. It's free to sign up and requires no minimum deposit.

Online gaming merchants and businesses will benefit from:
· Competitive rates of interest on deposits held with Ivobank (up to 4.25% AER)
· All funds transferred by customers are indemnified and settled immediately 24/7
· Multi currency settlement with localised payment options
· Low transaction fees
· Trouble free enhanced customer experience for online gaming payments

Online customers will benefit from:
· Secure and fast online payments
· Competitive rates of interest on deposits held with Ivobank (up to 4.5% AER)
· Fast and free online payments to friends and family
· The Ivobank Virtual Card that can be used securely online wherever MasterCard is accepted
· 24/7 customer support via telephone, online Live Chat and secure email

Pennsylvannia Supreme Court OKs casino plan

Posted by admin in Casino Info

The state Supreme Court yesterday removed whatever oversight the city had on casino development, effectively knocking down City Council’s all-or-nothing strategy against two waterfront casinos.
The Supreme Court yesterday awarded Foxwoods Casino the zoning permit and approvals that a City Council had withheld for nearly a year. The ruling came four months after the court issued a similar decision on behalf of SugarHouse Casino, the other slots parlor planned for the Delaware River waterfront.

As it did with SugarHouse on Feb. 3, the court awarded zoning, deemed the Foxwoods development plan approved, and authorized all revisions to the city map in Foxwoods’ plan. It also agreed with the plaintiff that Council had been “obstructionist.”

It directed the city “to take all actions necessary to implement the relief granted.”

“Obviously we’re thrilled with the Supreme Court’s decision,” said Foxwoods spokeswoman Maureen Garrity. “The court ruled not just in favor of our project, but the jobs and tax benefits that will come from it.”

Foxwoods attorney Jeffrey Rotwitt called the decision “a cure-all” for any city opposition.

The decision means that City Council, which had raised alarms about Foxwoods’ plans to control traffic around the site, has lost its leverage to influence those plans - and that no elected body will regulate the combined $1.3 billion in construction slated for the two projects.

“It’s very troubling,” said Terry Gillen, a senior advisor who heads up Mayor Nutter’s casino policy. “That’s why I think we’re concerned about what this means about the city’s ability to control two significant parcels on the waterfront.”

It was exactly the fate that former City Solicitor Romulo L. Diaz Jr. had warned would play out if City Council, led by the district’s councilman, Frank DiCicco, insisted on opposing the two casinos, which were first awarded licenses by the state Gaming Control Board in April 2025.

Both sites are located in DiCicco’s First District, which includes Center City and a swath of the waterfront from South Philadelphia through Fishtown.

The court ruled that Council had blocked the casinos by failing to act on Foxwoods’ plan, which was recommended by the Planning Commission last April and submitted to Council by Mayor Street on May 30. No council member would sponsor it.

Even DiCicco had warned of such an outcome, but bowed to political pressure from neighborhood groups, who worried about traffic and other impacts, and anti-casino groups who argued that casinos create problems such as gambling addictions that cost more than jobs and tax revenue.

“I said from Day One that the last thing I wanted to do was have the courts make these decisions,” DiCicco said yesterday. “My constituents were of the decision that we needed to take the fight to the casinos, and that’s what we did.”

DiCicco said he was exploring possible options to continue the fight.

Foxwoods and SugarHouse made use of DiCicco quotes about blocking and delaying the casinos to argue that he was obstructing them. All 16 other Council members deferred to DiCicco on the issue, holding to the tradition of “councilmanic prerogative,” in which council members are loathe to vote against a colleague on an issue that falls within their district.

But even the Supreme Court ruling doesn’t guarantee a quick start to construction. SugarHouse, after winning its court battle in April, predicted that construction would begin in matter of weeks.

Four months later, SugarHouse hasn’t put a shovel in the ground as it awaits an Army Corps of Engineers permit to build along the riverbank. Opposition to the site now centers on Revolutionary War and American Indian artifacts on the site. SugarHouse also is tied up in litigation, also before the Supreme Court, over its right to build over state-owned riverbed land. The Supreme Court will hear that case in April.

“This going to be a major tug of war over a number of months, or years,” said Daniel Hunter, a coordinator for Casino Free Philadelphia, the leading anti-casino group in the city.

Rotwitt, the Foxwoods attorney, said: “I never want to underestimate the resources of our foes.”

“But,” he said, “this should make it a completely unfettered way to go forward at this point.”
