Grupo Beneficial Secures Costa Rica Website for Its Electronic Casino
SAN JOSE, COSTA RICA--(Marketwire - January 7, 2010) - Grupo Beneficial, S.A., a subsidiary of Beneficial Holdings, Inc. (
Grupo Beneficial believes that the [ www.bet.cr ] domain name provides the Company with a short, easy to remember name for its electronic casino. The Company chose a .cr domain extension because the online casino will be licensed in Costa Rica.
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.
The system will target the non-United States international community and be in several languages including Spanish, German, Italian and English. Users may choose the currency of their choice.
In addition to a casino, the system will also feature a sports book.
The system will be given to customers of Beneficial Holdings' gaming locations in Central America on compact disk. Copies of the disk, and a download link, will be sent to our shareholders in February so that the games can be played and tested at no charge to the user. Shareholders desiring a disk that allows free (non-gambling) play should send an email to [ cd@beneficialholdings.info ] with their name and address.
Once the system is working, Grupo Beneficial will negotiate with other casino operators to provide the disk to their guests in exchange for commission on revenue from their players.
While our site is being completed, visitors to the [ www.bet.cr ] domain name will find links to our affiliate partners -- Virgin Casino, Virgin Bingo, and Virgin Poker. The Virgin gaming network provides a trusted brand along with excellent payouts.
