gambling gigs updates

There's an interesting little set of updates from last week's Global Interactive Gaming Summit in Montreal. It's basically a gathering of online gambling peddlers, but there were some interesting tidbits like NETeller (an online paypal-like service that is used heavily by online gamblers) has recently increased their weekly deposit limits (I'm guessing this is related to the recent moves by US credit card companies to stop payments to online casinos), and also Mah Jongg for money online is coming soon.

I wonder if they'll play with the rules for the hand called "Unique Wonders" or something like that. It's the hardest hand to get in Mah Jongg (think royal flush in 5-card draw, only significantly harder). In the rules I used to play by, if anybody got this hand they instantly won the entire pot, as well as everything that every player had in their wallets! Talk about an aiya and a half.
