History

Casino.org was founded by Warren B. Eugene in June 1995 as the public face of his Caribbean Casino software project, which Time identified that month as one of the first attempts to run real-money table games on the nascent world wide web. [1] Two years later, the San Francisco Chronicle described Eugene as an early "online gambling pioneer", reporting that he was negotiating a sale of the business while U.S. lawmakers weighed an Internet Gambling Prohibition Act. [5]

Mainstream outlets regularly cite its investigations. The Las Vegas Review-Journal relied on Casino.org research for a widely shared tipping guide in December 2023, [6] and has continued to quote its coverage of ATM-fee and parking-charge increases on the Las Vegas Strip. [7] Financial news outlet TheStreet likewise attributes scoops on property reopenings and fee changes to Casino.org exclusives. [8]

Casino.org maintains an open research archive that has been cited by legal scholars examining Canadian sports-betting liberalisation. [10]
