Costa Rica Gambling

One week in Costa Rica for a wedding, one week in Bahamas with Pokerstars and…YOU'RE BANNED!

I leave the office for two weeks and look what happens?! Banned from all CAP Euro events, Warren says. I mean, what the...why me? Great question!!

Rebecca and Kate do Costa Rica: Mission Accomplished.

Never have I laughed, smiled, enjoyed good company and enjoyed life as much as I did this past weekend in Costa Rica. I am officially in love with this country and with my friends that live there. I am even more in love with Wager Profits, one of the friendliest, most sincere and most promising affiliate programs in the industry.

What Happens in Costa Rica Stays in Costa Rica

As I have stated in the past, the fabulous "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas" phrase applies to Costa Rica visits and even to the Grinkos, Canadians and Swedes that live there. I cannot even tell you the number of times a statement was preceded with, "This is off the record, but...", and the number of times that I was forbidden to share any of my stories with Jenny (I know! I don't get it either!). See why this was my seventh trip to Costa Rica in 1.5 years? Now you get it, don't you... read more

Rebecca's Recommendations - May 25, 2007

So here we go again. I'm going back to Costa Rica for Memorial Day weekend, and I know what you are thinking…What? Are you kidding? Why? Do you ever work? Where's Jenny?

Of course I'll be with online gaming friends and talking business roughly 90% of the time, but what can you do. read more
