- Sunday, 9 Oct 2005
Online gambling sites are resorting to some innovative methods for advertising themselves. Some use extravagant promotion tactics (i.e. Golden Palace Online Casino), while other gambling sites use more subtle means for promoting their websites. Celebrities really do have everything, don’t they? They have great houses, cars and all the money they can spend. As if they needed it, presenters in award ceremonies such as the Emmys and Oscars receive gift baskets containing thousands of dollars worth of merchandise. In attrition to beauty products and other expensive gifts, guests at this year’s Toronto International Film Festival received an unexpected gift courtesy of an online gambling site.
Over 150 celebrity guest including Hollywood producers, directors and actors who attended the Film Festival received a certificate for $1,500 from EnglishHarbour Online Casino, to be used for the purpose of gambling at their online casino. Some of the celebrities who received $1,500 worth of free gambling money include famous actors like Charlize Theron, Edie Falco, Eva Longoria, Gwyneth Paltrow, Madonna and Morgan Freeman.
Paul Sudolski, President of the gambling site said, “Like other major international entertainment events, the Toronto Film Festival attracts A-list celebrities each year and it was an honor for our gambling website to be part of the unique gift baskets delivered to the VIPs in attendance”. With the Oscars looming, expect this trend of gift certificates courtesy of online gambling sites to continue. This is a great way for online casinos to promote themselves. Just think of it the next time you play at your favorite gambling website, you could be facing one of your idols.
