Viva Macau Online Casino Launched - 06-21-08

June 21 - Viva Macau is the work of Mong Ha Media. Their integrated sports betting, casino and poker offering has a fresh new look. The look is obviously very Asian-centric but should have a much wider appeal.

The sportsbook offers betting on most major sports, and has already posted various lines for the Beijing Olympics. The online casino is based on the iGaming software platform.

They casino has more than 50 instant play games. New casino customers will receive a 10% bonus on their initial deposit (minimum $100) up to $250. The casino states ones of its differentiators to be that fact that they don't have huge rollover requirements.

The sports betting site looks fairly comprehensive, although its probably early days to comment. New sports bettors get 10% up to $250 rebate on their wagers.

The poker room offers $1.4 million in guarantees per month, and offers a few interesting table features. However. the proof will be in the pudding and we'll have to see how much traffic they can get to the tables. The tournament schedule is limited to smaller players.

The owners seem quite upbeat and hope to take a "Macau experience into people's homes". On the surface it appears to be a solid product, but those of us who have been around for a while know that it take a lot more than offering people games to play in their living rooms to be successful in this business.

Viva Macau certainly offers something different, and we wish them the best. The casino has 24 hour live shat support and we tested their response with a few arbitrary questions and they were very responsive. Viva Macau welcomes players from all over the world including the USA.
