Rebecca Liggero

Rebecca Liggero loves meeting new people and traveling – perfect qualities for someone who has won friends and influenced people in the worldwide online gaming community.

After graduating from Bates College with a degree in psychology, Rebecca spent four years in Washington, DC, working in relationship management, dreaming all the while about someday making it big in online gaming. After turning down an opportunity to live in New Zealand, she moved back to Boston and signed on as Senior Account Manager for Casino City – the beginning of a dream come true!

Rebecca’s work on behalf of Casino City (and later for the GPWA as well) took her to trade shows and conferences everywhere – Amsterdam, Barcelona, Costa Rica, Montreal, London, Las Vegas, Macau and many other ports of call – and along the way she began chronicling her incredible around-the-clock adventures in a wildly entertaining and industry-savvy weekly column that quickly became – and still remains – must reading for everyone who is anyone in online gaming. Following almost three years with the Casino City team, Rebecca spent a few months at Everest Affiliates where she was the Brand Manager of the affiliate program. While working on “the other side,” she realized that she truly missed her weekly column and the affiliate side of the business and decided to return to the Casino City family.

One and a half years later, Rebecca resigned from Casino City and joined industry icon Calvin Ayre to serve as the Bodog Global Brand Ambassador and the head on-site reporter for the online gambling industry tablog, CalvinAyre.com. In her new capacity, Rebecca continues to travel the world, and when asked where she is based, her response is usually "on an airplane."

Rebecca's Recommendations - January 12, 2007

12 Jan 2007
By Rebecca Liggero

One full week in Boston. What relaxation. Actually, I take that back. One of my best friends is getting married next month and her bachelorette party was this past weekend. Oh yes. I downed a bottle of wine on our "party bus" and then decided it would be a nice idea to pole dance at the bar- good thing I had some lessons from my stripper friends in Costa Rica. I'm being serious. This pole dancing bar also featured a mechanical bull which I unwillingly turned down as I was petrified of injuring my foot once again. I mean, I have to be in top shape for London- I have ICE and CAP Euro to attend in 1.5 weeks! In my opinion, CAP Euro is going to be the biggest online gaming affiliate conference of the year and I honestly cannot wait. To all my affiliates and affiliate managers out there, if you're not already signed up, it's not too late! DO IT! Also, a brilliant reporter who is dedicated to facts, a relentless pursuer of the truth, an icon in the world of internet gambling- and someone I proudly look up to- will be there. That's right. Jenny Woo. This sultry and seasoned online gaming reporter has been around for four years now, and guess what? She is openly bi! Yes! Now you're going to register for CAP Euro, aren't you? I know the men will, especially those of you who are trying to arrange a threesome while in London. I know who you are, so I'll see you there.

Now for some announcements. As you know, I have been traveling like mad for the past few months so my online gaming related announcements and recommendations are completely backlogged. In an attempt to catch up, please take a look below:

1)Bluff Magazine just announced the winners of their 2006 Readers Choice Awards. The beauty of these awards is that they are determined by poker players and fans as opposed to the industry (aka they are not paid for). Kidding. Kind of. Ok, clearly PokerStars is a favorite- these guy took home "Best Online Poker Room", "Best Online Tournaments", "Best Software", "Best Loyalty Program", and "Best Satellites". Ya. You should play at PokerStars. Also, I would like to mention that one of my personal favorite poker rooms, Absolute Poker, was voted "Best Customer Service" and was an honorable mention for many of the other categories. To view a full list of the 20+ winners go and grab the January issue of Bluff off the racks, or better yet, you can subscribe now and make my Bluff boys happy. Especially Todd.

2) Executive Gaming Monthly (EGM) is a casino of the month club that allows gaming enthusiasts to bring the casino to their own home. EGM also features an online store which includes officially licensed game related furniture and accessories. Lucky for you, I have become friends with the EGM founder and he has created a special offer for all Rebecca's Recommendations readers- receive 10% off on any order placed before January 31st, 2007. To claim this offer please use coupon code "Tequila" when placing your order. Yes. I'm serious. This guy knows me too well...

3)I would like to announce the winner of the Royal Casino Superstars Turkish Casino which was awarded at the end of November. Congratulations to Gary H. of California! I have spoken to Gary and he is hard at work learning how to introduce this site to the Turkish market. Any suggestions? Let me know! For all my players, in addition to Turkish, Royal Casino Superstars is available in 12 other languages and 10% of their gross profits are donated to the Make a Wish Foundation. Sign up now and receive a 100% welcome bonus up to $500 free!

So there you go. Some real online gaming information for a change. Enjoy it! Rebecca
