How to Find a Good Mobile Casino?
21.3 || webmaster
According to the latest surveys, many football fans are fond of online gambling. Of course, AC Milan fans are not an exception. If you are one of them and you want to place wagers on the go, then you should start looking for good mobile casinos. The truth is that many of the regular online casinos have mobile versions of their sites, but not all of them are the same. If you want to find a good mobile casino, then you should take a few things into account.
Types of devices
There is a wide range of mobile devices used today. Some users are relying on their smartphones while others prefer tablets. Of course, many of them have both of these devices. On top of that, mobile device owners have devices made by different manufacturers and devices that use different operating systems. So, when you are looking for good mobile casinos, you should consider the types of devices that you are using to get access to the Internet. Ideally, you should look for an option that supports both iOS-based and Android-based devices. It would be nice if the casino supports Windows and other operating systems.
In-browser vs apps
Another thing that you should take into consideration here is whether the device offers only in-browser access or they have a dedicated application. Some of these mobile casinos use mobile apps only. Is your device capable of using an app like this? Do you feel more comfortable using their in-browser version? Answer these questions before you make a decision.
Bonuses
It turns out that there are many mobile casinos that offer special bonuses for their mobile users. This means that you can expect a different kind of welcome bonus offer when you are using a smartphone/tablet compared to using a desktop computer. There are also special free spins offers for mobile users in some cases. While we are talking about bonuses we should point out that almost all of these bonuses come with certain wagering requirements. Make sure that you’ve read the terms and conditions before using these bonuses. A wagering requirement of x25 or x35 is considered a reasonable requirement.
Selection of games
Of course, this is another important topic. Most of us have favorite casino games and there’s no reason to join a mobile casino if you can’t play your favorite casino games. Don’t forget that most of these casinos are offering online slots, so it’s easy to find a mobile casino with dozens of slot games. In addition, many of these mobile casinos have sports betting sections which allow players to place bets on sports events too.
Customer support
Lastly, we have customer support. If you are planning on joining a mobile casino, make sure that they have professional customer support. The best ones have a few contact options, typically via live chat feature, phone or email. In addition, it’s easy to find a casino like this with a Frequently Asked Questions page.

Transfer Rumors: Sforza and Lo Celso to join AC Milan this summer?
15.3 || webmaster
A serious football club like AC Milan is always looking for chances to strengthen their squad by finding outstanding players on positions where they seem to be weak. While it’s true that AC Milan is doing a good job this season in Serie A, it’s also true that they are far from the first position which is imperative for this club almost every year. You can get more information on that by visiting websites that are focused on providing news and advice about football betting. After the finish of the winter transfer window, the management of the team didn’t stop searching for new players. In fact, there are rumors related to two top football players that AC Milan is negotiating with.
Two midfielders could boost AC Milan’s team this summer
First and foremost, there are rumors related to Giovanni Lo Celso, the popular midfielder who is owned by PSG. This young central midfielder who is currently on loan at Real Betis in the Spanish first league has a great season there. He played a total of 36 matches for Betis this season and scored 12 goals which is a record number of goals for him in one season despite the fact that he is not a striker. The management of AC Milan noticed the player on their match against Real Betis last year when they were playing in the early stages of the Europa League. But, this transfer won’t be an easy task for AC Milan because both Real Betis and Real Madrid want this player. According to some sources, even Tottenham is interested in Lo Celso. What’s interesting is that AC Milan is ready to pay up to 50 Million Dollars for the services of this outstanding player.
Next, on the list of potential new players that may come to AC Milan this summer, we have Juan Sebastian Sforza. This is another central midfielder who is even younger than Lo Celso. Actually, he is just 17 years old and he plays for Newell’s Old Boys in Argentina. Thanks to his outstanding performance in the last year, he grabbed the attention of a few well-established clubs including AC Milan. There is an official report of a meeting between the representatives of the Italian and Argentinean clubs that happened a few days ago. The same sources have highlighted the fact that AC Milan can get this player for 1.5 million Euros which is definitely a smart investment given that this player has time to grow into an even better player. Yet, the management of Newell’s Old Boys has pointed out that they will meet with the management of few other Serie A clubs in the next few weeks like Napoli, Juventus, Inter, and Roma.
If AC Milan manages to get these two players and everything goes according to the plan, they will secure the central midfielder position for the next few years which is a position with a very important role in every team.
Serie A: Chievo 1:2 AC Milan - match report

Scorers: Biglia 31 (M), Hetemaj 41 (C), Piatek 57 (M)
Lucas Biglia’s magnificent free kick and a Krzysztof Piatek tap-in proved just about enough to give Milan a 2-1 victory away to Chievo, their fifth consecutive Serie A win.
The Rossoneri had Ricardo Rodriguez suspended, but took the opportunity to rest Hakan Calhanoglu, Davide Calabria and Tiemoue Bakayoko, with Andrea Conti and Lucas Biglia returning after injury. Chievo had Nicola Rigoni banned, Sergio Pellissier, Nenad Tomovic and Ezequiel Schelotto side-lined.

Scorer: Lirola og 35 (M)
Milan did the bare minimum to scrape past 10-man Sassuolo thanks to an unlucky Pol Lirola own goal, but still fly into third place ahead of Inter.
As the Nerazzurri lost 2-1 to Cagliari last night, the Rossoneri knew a win would allow them to leapfrog their city rivals into third place. Mattia Caldara, Jack Bonaventura and Cristian Zapata were still out, but Suso and Hakan Calhanoglu returned after Tuesday’s Coppa Italia semi-final draw with Lazio. The visitors welcomed back Domenico Berardi from suspension, but Alfred Duncan was banned with Marlon injured. It was a return to San Siro for ex-Rossoneri midfielder Manuel Locatelli.
