Two rivals release domains following 32Red court victory over William Hill Online.

AIM-listed online casino operator 32Red Plc has announced that two further operators of online casino websites have given up infringing domains and relinquished control of them.

This follows 32Red’s avowal that it would “continue taking steps to assert and protect its intellectual property rights” after its recent High Court victory against William Hill Online, which was operating a site called ’32Vegas’.

Now it’s been revealed that the owners of ’32Royal’ have transferred their web address to 32Red unconditionally, and that another gaming operator, Spin32, has changed the name of its business and transferred all domains containing the digits ’32’ to 32Red again without condition.

The strength of 32Red’s intellectual property rights were publicly and unequivocally confirmed in the case against William Hill Online. In a Judgment handed down in January by Mr Justice Henderson, after a six-day trial the previous October, the court upheld 32Red’s claim that 32Vegas, an online casino operated by William Hill Online under a joint venture between William Hill and Playtech, infringed 32Red’s European Community trade marks.

The judge also dismissed William Hill’s claims that the trade marks owned by 32Red (’32Red’ and ’32’) should be invalidated. He concluded that “the 32Red brand was highly distinctive”, and “enjoyed a strong reputation in the online gambling community”. Mr Justice Henderson added: “The goods and services covered by the Vegas signs were identical, and the degree of similarity between the signs and the Community marks was high, including in particular the initial ’32’… the detriment to the distinctive character of the Community marks lay in the risk of a false association with 32Vegas, a brand with an inferior reputation which operated in the same marketplace”.

Ed Ware, CEO of 32Red Plc said: “We are happy to have these two other infringing domains safely under our control. The protection of an online entity’s intellectual property rights are vital to the wellbeing of any internet business, and as an entirely online enterprise, with no physical presence in our markets, this makes our brand, our domain name and our reputation pivotal to the success of the business”.

“We have had the imagination to create a distinctive and appealing brand in 32Red, and have invested millions in advertising it over nearly 10 years. We will continue to take action to protect our property and rights where necessary.”

City of London-based solicitors McDermott, Will & Emery represented 32Red throughout the
action with William Hill Online and continue to act for the Company in the upcoming Damages Inquiry and the appeal against the decision lodged by William Hill Online.

McDermott partner Hiroshi Sheraton added: “An effective strategy for enforcing IP rights is essential in building a strong brand like 32Red, particularly in the online world, which is often seen as a ‘soft target’. Although the decision to take legal action to protect a brand is never one that’s easily taken, particularly against an industry stalwart such as William Hill, the findings of the judge speak for themselves. It is reassuring that others are now taking notice.”

Titan Casino unveils an all new look and feel in line with other Titan brands Titan Poker and Titan Bet, for an improved user experience.

Titan Casino is pleased to announce the launching of a new website and casino lobby.

The new Titan Casino now reflects the design of sister sites Titan Poker and Titan Bet for a single unified online gaming mega-brand.

While the Titan Casino games remain the same, the website and casino lobby have been fully redesigned for an improved user experience including additional information and easier navigation.

In terms of the Titan Casino promotions, a popular draw for online casino players, the new Promotions page makes it easier for site visitors to locate the exact promotion they’re looking for. Instead of a single page listing all the casino promotions, it is now conveniently divided into four separate categories marked Welcome Bonus, New Promos, Ongoing Promos and Members Only Promos respectively.

Players will also enjoy the additional information on individual games. For example, each new game (such as Kong: The 8th Wonder of the World and Iron Man 2) has a full page write-up delineating the benefits and highlights of the game.

Each game type (such as blackjack, slots, roulette, etc.) also has additional information to help new players get started including sections on game history, game strategy and game glossary. While the rest of the site has been translated into an additional 12 languages, these particular pages are only available in English for the time being.

In addition to the changes to the website, the Titan Casino lobby has also undergone a complete overhaul. Not only is it more aesthetically pleasing, it is also easier for players to navigate and find their favorite games.

To get started, players simply need to download Titan Casino (free of charge), log in and click on the blue Games button in the bottom right corner of the casino lobby.

Bet365 Casino player Steven M has become the latest addition to a long line of big winners with bet365 – scooping a massive £101,705 Progressive Jackpot!

Steven M has been a keen Slots player with bet365 since 2005, and has enjoyed some significant wins in the past. They don’t quite compare, however, to the scale of this impressive Progressive Jackpot win on bet365’s hugely popular Wall Street Fever game.

Steven M said he was "flabbergasted" when he realised he’d won the jackpot and immediately gave bet365 a call so that they could confirm the good news.

Now that it is starting to sink in, Steven M is planning what he will do with his £101,705 win. He says he will spend some of the money on his grandchildren, and thinks his wife will have no problem deciding what to do with the rest!

This is not the only big winner that bet365’s Wall Street Fever has produced, as it follows a previous $335,000 jackpot win by Mr J on the same game. With an extensive range of popular Progressive Jackpot games on offer at bet365, there is plenty of opportunity to play for some huge prize amounts such as these. These Progressive Jackpots are amongst a total of over 150 exciting casino games available at Bet365 Casino.
