Nicaraguan Gambling
Firm Plans Online Expansion Using Costa
Rican Domain
A Las Vegas-based operator of Nicaraguan
land casinos is in the final stages of
launching a Costa Rica-based online casino
and sportsbook with a .cr domain.
Beneficial Holdings Incorporated is less
forthcoming about the online gambling
software its new Bet.cr website will be
using, leaving the matter open to
speculation. Costa Rica is known to be a
fave base for RealTime Gaming operators.
Las Vegas-based Beneficial operates two
land-based gaming casinos in Nicaragua and
is planning to acquire a third operation in
that country. A spokesman revealed this week
that the firm's subsidiary Grupo Beneficial
SA will operate the Costa Rica-based online
casino and sportsbook venture, which the
group expects to launch "within the next
month."
“The company chose a .cr domain extension
because the online casino will be licensed
in Costa Rica," the spokesman said. "Grupo
Beneficial believes that the casino will be
operational in less than one month. The
electronic casino will work through software
that users download onto their computer
systems. A contract is in place for the
development of the custom software.”
He added that the target markets that the
company has in mind do not include the
United States, and that several European
language versions of the website would be
available.
