Internet Gamblers Get a Shot of Confidence as the Sands of the Caribbean(R) Online Casino (http://www.thesands.com Proving That Big Online Winners Really Do GetPaid

LONDON, Sept. 10 -- Perhaps more than any other industry, online gambling had drawn criticism from a wide range of skeptics who questioned an Internet casino's ability to pay out large jackpot prizes. With most online jackpots only paying out a few thousand dollars, even traditional casino operators sometimes felt that online operators had yet to pass the true test of any casino: their ability to pay big winners.

These doubts have now been quashed because of "BOBO", the recent winner of the Internet's largest casino jackpot to date. BOBO won $414,119 playing the Rags to Riches progressive slot machine at The Sands of the Caribbean(R) Online Casino (www.thesands.com). Although BOBO was never unsure about www.thesands.com, when interviewed he immediately pointed out "If I won somewhere else I would have been sceptical, (but since) I've been playing at The Sands of the Caribbean(R) for four or five years they've always had my trust, and that's what's most important." BOBO also added confidently "When I won, I knew right away that it was real".

Now that The Sands of the Caribbean(R) has proven itself to the skeptics and championed the online casino industry's credibility, the question remains as to whether other online casinos will be as capable at paying super-jackpots?

Online gaming expert, Gabriel Black, seems to think that the industry as a whole will stand the test, and even feels that online efficiencies will make big online payouts easier than big land-based payouts. "Paying out $414,119 is the same as paying out $1 for an online casino. The money can just as easily be sent by check, or by wire transfer. While traditional casinos need to worry about keeping $400,000 in cash lying in the back room, online casinos let that money sit in a bank until its won."

So what's the first thing you do when you win $414,119? "I woke up my wife and said 'I think I just won something big'. Then the Customer Care Manager from The Sands of the Caribbean(R) called me and said that I had won the $414,119". BOBO explains, "I called them to ask how to get my money and they said 'Its there, just go push the button to withdraw it' so I said OK".

And if that doesn't prove The Sands of the Caribbean(R) Online Casino is as capable of paying big winners as the land-based casinos, I don't know what will.;
