Listen to the article:
On a cool August evening last summer, I was strolling through a flea market in downtown Winnipeg, Manitoba with my two best friends. The market was full of vintage clothing resellers, and I was on the hunt for a leather bomber jacket. While pushing through the crowd, something caught my eye.
I stopped and stared at the jacket. It was the style I was looking for, an oversized, collared leather jacket in black. I peeked at the tag inside: Italian leather, exactly my size. I slipped it on over my sweater — it fit perfectly.
“How much is this?” I asked the seller, mentally crossing my fingers for luck. From looking at other vintage clothing vendors that night, I was predicting it to run me almost $100. The seller found the price tag on the jacket and showed me.
The thrift gods had spoken.
For me, the perfect thrift find ticks four boxes: no one else has it, it’s a little worn in from the previous owner, it fits perfectly, and it’s less expensive than buying the same type of item brand new.
I’ve always enjoyed thrifting with my friends and searching the racks at shops for hidden gems. But finding that perfect thing became more difficult when the COVID-19 pandemic closed thrift and vintage stores in Winnipeg. The start of the pandemic coincided with the beginning of my TikTok addiction, and I remember enviously watching other thrifters share the amazing pieces they were picking up at their local stores while Winnipeg’s shops were still closed.
I missed thrifting and wanted to update my wardrobe sustainably. After stumbling across YouTube and TikTok hauls from people thrifting online, I was inspired to enter the world of online second-hand resale for the first time. I started scouring websites like thredUP and Etsy and finding second-hand, one-of-a-kind pieces that became staples in my wardrobe. Buying the exact second-hand items I wanted had never been so easy.
While I had thought of thrifting as a strictly in-person experience, people have been able to buy second-hand clothing online since the beginning of the internet. Selling pre-loved clothes online first started on websites like eBay and Craigslist in the mid-nineties to early 2000s. However, it wasn’t until the early 2010s that websites dedicated to helping people buy and sell their new or used clothing popped up, said Teen Vogue, who defined the decade as when second-hand shopping online blossomed. Today, sites like thredUP, Poshmark, Depop, and TheRealReal are a part of a resale industry that The Business of Fashion says is growing at five times the rate of overall commerce.
ThredUP’s 2023 Resale Report is one of the most comprehensive reports about the global second-hand market and consumer trends. The report says online resale is the fastest-growing sector of the U.S. second-hand market and is predicted to grow 21 per cent each year on average over the next five years.
Due to the increasing popularity of online thrifting, more small, local second-hand businesses have grown their online presence. Carjelu Delera of Clothing Bakery, Joanna Przytula of Kildonan MCC Thrift Shop, and Natasha Rey of Nuage Vintage are all founders or employees of Winnipeg-based shops that have created websites and grown their social media platforms to keep up with consumers’ thrifting habits. Brick-and-mortar stores and pop-up shops are adapting with online platforms, showing how trends in thrifting are changing the way we buy second-hand, globally, and locally.
The Rise of Online Resale
Joanna Przytula is a part of the e-commerce and social media team at Kildonan MCC Thrift Shop. What makes Kildonan MCC different from other large thrift stores in Winnipeg is they have a website where they re-sell clothing, shoes, accessories, books, and homeware goods.
“The plan was to start an online section that we can sell stuff of higher value and attract customers, especially the younger generation, or even people from different parts of the city who would buy stuff from re-sellers,” said Przytula. Once COVID-19 hit, the need to create a website grew. In December 2023, Kildonan MCC’s website Love to Thrift celebrated its three-year anniversary.
“The idea behind the name was to highlight the passion for thrifting, for repurposing items, and from keeping stuff from the landfill and buying used stuff,” said Przytula. One of Kildonan MCC’s goals for 2024 is to promote upcycling. They want to inspire customers to create something new from their purchases or highlight the skills of their employees and volunteers who repair or upcycle donated items. Kildonan MCC has a curated section called Re-imagine in their store, which is dedicated to highlighting and selling upcycled items, and they have a “repurposed” section on their website where they transform donated items into something new.
In the global second-hand market, many large brands have started their own online resale programs. These programs allow customers to buy and sell pre-loved clothing directly from a brand rather than from a third-party seller or marketplace. According to Trove, a company that helps brands extend the life of their products, clothing companies like Eileen Fisher and Patagonia have been running resale programs since the early to mid-2010s. ThredUP’s “The Recommerce 100 report” found a huge growth in the industry between 2021 and 2022 resulted in over 163 brands now having resale programs. Among this list are brands like Shein and Zara, fast fashion giants known for cheaply made clothing and poor environmental practices who are likely using their resale programs for greenwashing. Good on You, a company that analyzes the sustainability of fashion brands, advises avoiding these brands at all costs.
Many brand’s resale programs work like Patagonia’s “Worn Wear” program, which has been a leader for online clothing recycling since it started its program in 2011 on eBay. Customers can trade in their used Patagonia items for a store credit to buy a used item or something brand new, or they can send in their damaged product to Patagonia to get it fixed by a repair tech. However, brands with resale programs are still struggling to get consumers to use them to offset the damaging effects of clothing production on the environment, or to make a profit. According to an article by Bloomberg Businessweek, second-hand clothing only accounts for up to five per cent of overall revenue for brands who have invested the most time and marketing into their resale programs. The article suggests retailers list used and new items together on their websites — instead of separating pre-loved products — to encourage customers to buy second-hand.
ThredUP’s 2023 Resale Report predicts the growth of the second-hand market in the 2020’s will be because of shoppers buying second-hand for the first time. Of consumers making up the second-hand market in the U.S., 40 per cent are estimated to be existing second-hand shoppers while 60 per cent will be new to purchasing second-hand. Two-thirds of these shoppers are expected to be Gen Z and Millennials due to their purchase-power increasing as they age.
While thrifting has traditionally been popular among teenagers and young adults, Gen Z brings a different perspective. According to Forbes, Gen Z is the generation most concerned with global warming and is the group adopting the most sustainable consumer behaviors. As a member of Gen Z and a fashion lover myself, buying new clothing has always been an exciting, yet anxiety-inducing experience. I’m torn between wanting to express myself with clothing, but also not wanting to contribute to destroying our planet. Purchasing quality, thrifted pieces that will be in my wardrobe for many years to come from second-hand sources allows me to be creative while not feeling guilty.
Gen Z is also a generation growing up with an incredibly high cost of living, with the affordability crisis in Canada predicted to continue in 2024. In McKinsey & Company and BOF’s (Business of Fashion) The State of Fashion 2024 report, inflation is anticipated to negatively impact the fashion industry, with a decrease of unnecessary spending expected in 2024. The online second-hand market not only allows younger generations to buy affordable clothing, but it also provides an easy and low-cost way for them to make money. For example, Depop is a marketplace app predominantly used by Gen Z, according to their Gen Z report, and Depop says they have helped sellers on the app make over $2.5 billion.
Annika Scheelar is a Gen Z college student from Winnipeg who started selling her clothes on Instagram and Facebook Marketplace in 2020 when thrift stores were closed. She has sold over 500 items on her Instagram @windsorparkthrifts, which has over 1500 followers. She started selling clothing from her family, friends, and her own closet, and pieces she found at thrift stores once they re-opened after the pandemic. Scheelar thrifts in person and online, including on Kildonan MCC’s website.
“I would like to say that 95 per cent of my closet is second-hand,” said Scheelar, who started buying second-hand clothing at age 13. “I wanted to wear the brands and stuff that other kids were wearing, but I realized I didn’t have the money to buy that.” She was also inspired to thrift by YouTubers like Emma Chamberlain, Alexa Sunshine83, and Haley’s Corner, who all create content about buying second-hand.
Now, Scheelar says she shops second-hand to find unique, affordable, and quality vintage pieces, and because its more sustainable.
“Over the years, I’ve looked into how clothing is made, the environmental impact it has, and how workers are treated that are making these clothes,” said Scheelar, who’s concerned about overconsumption. “That’s been a big thing, realizing how much [clothing] is in the world and wanting to buy second-hand, even if that makes a drop of a difference.”
Natasha Rey is the founder of Nuage Vintage, a vintage store that combines her French and prairie-inspired style into curated timeless pieces. Rey says her audience is mostly women and non-binary people from their late teens to mid-thirties.
“That’s why I like to keep my prices really reasonable, because usually those people are maybe having to start their career and don’t want to have to spend a ton of money on expensive clothing,” says Rey, who sells her clothing on her website and does pop-ups and markets with her vintage 1968 Boler trailer in the summer. Wanting to combine her love for fashion and her drive to be a business owner, Rey started Nuage Vintage after graduating college, allowing her to be her own boss and test out different ideas for marketing and content creation. In December 2023, Nuage Vintage was featured in Elle Canada for being one of Canada’s coolest second-hand stores.
Carjelu Delera, co-owner of the streetwear-inspired vintage store Clothing Bakery in Winnipeg’s Exchange District, has been a part of the online resale market since high school, when he and his friends would resell their old clothes on Instagram.
“We were just trying to figure out how we could make money, as we could not work regular part-time jobs,” said Delera. “We saw an Instagram page where they were selling their own clothes and we said, ‘Why don’t we do that?’ So, we started selling our own clothes, and once our old clothes ran out, we started thrifting, and we just kind of built from there.”
Five years later, he and his business partner have turned their clothing resale business into a popular website and storefront. While Clothing Bakery’s vintage streetwear style pieces are nostalgic for Delera’s older customers, he often sees teenagers and young adults in his store. Delera credits Clothing Bakery’s TikTok page for bringing in new, younger customers to their shop.
Thrifting on TikTok
ThriftTok is a community on TikTok where users post and watch what other people have discovered at thrift and vintage shops. Hashtags like #thrifthaul now have over 400,000 posts and 4.5 billion views, while #thrifted has 1.1 million posts and 11.9 billion views.
Fashion trends that gain popularity on TikTok influence trends in thrifting, and vice versa. Many of these trends are what TikTok users call an “aesthetic,” which Time magazine describes as a “catch-all term for Gen Z, encompassing moods, feelings, and subcultures around which people can find link-minded users online.” A few popular aesthetics have gone viral on the app in the past year, such as ballet core, coastal cowgirl, and eclectic grandpa. One trend taking over TikTok right now is the mob wife aesthetic. Many credit this trend to the resurgence in popularity of the TV show The Sopranos and as a rejection of the minimalist, clean girl aesthetic. Now TikTok users are running to their local thrift stores to purchase fur coats, leopard print, and leather. There is even a “mob wife aesthetic mystery style box” made up of second-hand clothing available for purchase from user @krisrandall on Poshmark.
Rey attributes these niche trends to an overall trend of individualism she has seen grow in the thrifting community since creating Nuage Vintage. TikTok users are taking inspiration from each trend to create their own individual style, and rather than buying fast fashion, they’re turning to second-hand clothing to express themselves. Instead of listening to what large brands are telling them to wear, TikTok users are more influenced by their peers.
“People are really passionate about finding what their style is, and I think they find their own style by shopping vintage and second-hand because they’re not being told what to wear,” said Rey. “You can walk into Zara and see what the mannequins are wearing and say, ‘This is what I’m going to put on.’ But I think there’s a trend where people want to figure that out for themselves and what works best with their body type and how they want to present themselves.”
Style bundles are another popular trend taking over ThriftTok. Style bundles are items or capsule wardrobes of second-hand clothing curated by re-sellers or vintage shops, specified to the customers sizes, preferences, and style. Style bundles are not only a sustainable way to buy clothing, but they also make curated second-hand more accessible for everyone. Many resellers have style bundle options for different budgets, and they often ask customers for their clothing measurements. Resellers can also curate second-hand clothing for people who may have mobility or health issues that make it difficult for them to thrift in-person.
Rey brought back her style bundles after seeing how popular they were becoming on social media. In November 2023 she re-launched this service, and the bundles sold out within an hour.
“When someone places an order through the website, they fill out a questionnaire that I’ve prebuilt so they can tell me about the type of clothes they like to wear or what they’re looking for,” said Rey. “They can tell me who their style icons are based on a Pinterest board or any fashion blogs they really like.” Customers also choose how many pieces they want in their bundle.
“Because I’ve been doing this for a little while now, and I’m in the French community, I often get phone calls from elderly people who are wanting to sell their vintage clothes,” said Rey. “So sometimes I get it right from the source, which is really cool.”
I wanted to try out a style bundle for myself. However, I found it hard to order from TikTok creators who are known for this service. Popular style bundle curators on TikTok like Erica Lubinic, Esme Carpenter, and Elizabeth Venter have “sold out” of their bundles after reaching their capacity of clients, or have wait times of up to six months to order a bundle.
After searching TikTok, Instagram, and Google for two hours, I finally found Elizabeth O. Vintage, a vintage clothing storefront and online shop from Penticton, British Columbia that offers curated style bundles. I paid $65 for four pieces. A day after placing my order I received an email directly from Holly, the owner of the store, and they asked for my sizes and measurements, style preferences, and any inspiration I have for my bundle. While some sellers can take up to two months to curate and send a bundle, Elizabeth O. Vintage guarantees it will be shipped in two weeks.
Waitlists, price, shipping cost, the seller’s estimated timeline to create the bundle, and making sure the seller is credible are important things to consider when ordering a style bundle. I recommend checking the seller’s website or social media to see what kind of bundles they make or reading their reviews to ensure they’re legitimate. It was a long process to find a style bundle seller that checked all these boxes.
Thrifting Should be Affordable, Right?
New sustainably made clothing is often expensive, but buying second-hand is an option for environmentally conscious people to update their wardrobe at a lower cost. However, resellers and shops have started to hike up their prices, making buying second-hand less accessible.
“I think there’s definitely more resellers popping up, which is cool, because that means there is more demand,” said Rey. “The thing I really don’t love seeing is people hiking up their prices, when having been in the industry for a couple years. I know how much they probably pay for it.”
While Rey takes a very selective approach to her collection, ensuring she’s picking high-quality pieces she would wear, she has noticed many resellers picking and upselling a random collection of styles to make more money.
“Of course, you’ve got to have your margins. But I think for me, I want people to afford shopping second-hand, that’s the first reason I’m doing this,” said Rey.
Przytula says Kildonan MCC has gotten pushback on their social media for the pricing of their vintage items, but says these higher priced vintage items are things people want, not need.
“The idea behind online, the boutique, and our vintage lane — those items are your wants. We still sell items that are your needs for people who need a t-shirt, winter jackets, dishes, they can still buy these items for cheap,” she said.
However, when customers are shopping curated vintage stores, or buying style bundles, they’re not just paying for the clothing. They’re also paying for the many hours it takes curators to search for specific items, sizes, and quality pieces. For example, it can take Rey from six to ten hours to curate one style bundle, as she searches through her own collection, scours local thrift stores or websites like eBay or Facebook Marketplace, or buys items from other vendors.
The Fast Fashion Takeover
For those searching for affordable thrift finds, the good — and bad — news is that we’re not running out of clothing in thrift stores anytime soon. Approximately 80 to 150 billion new items of clothing are produced each year. One reason the exact number is unknown is due to gaps in the data of how many products clothing brands are making. According to British Vogue, mega-brands like Zara, Shein, and H&M have not shared the exact number of items they produce. Business Insider reported that Zara produces 450 million garments per year, while Shein releases 6000 new styles a day.
Researchers from the University of Waterloo and Seneca Polytechnic found that Canadians alone get rid of around a billion pounds of clothing and other items made from fabric each year. While only 20 per cent of these garments end up recycled, thrift stores are still struggling with the sheer number of items they receive. The book Secondhand: Travels in the New Global Garage Sale by Adam Minter details how thrift stores need more time and employees to sort through clothes and are running out of storage and floor space for donated items, forcing them to find ways to get rid of excess product.
When I visited Kildonan MCC to interview Przytula, I went on a tour of the back of the thrift shop where donations were sorted and stored. With boxes of items piled up to the ceiling, and many racks of clothing still needing to be organized, it was shocking to see how much inventory a single thrift store in Winnipeg has. However, their inventory does not have the number of quality pieces their store once saw. Przytula has worked at Kildonan MCC for six years, but lately she has noticed an undeniable increase in fast fashion donations.
“We can talk about not supporting fast fashion and trying to buy your stuff from the thrift shop, but unfortunately more and more items that are donated are from Shein, Fashion Nova, and Zara,” said Przytula, who tries to avoid selling fast fashion on Kildonan MCC’s website.
“The quality is worse. A lot of the longevity of these products will be shorter than your t-shirt from 20 years ago that’s 100 per cent cotton. You touch the fabric and then you know its Shein,” said Przytula.
People are buying and discarding new clothing more than ever. McKinsey & Company found the amount of clothing purchased has increased by 60 per cent, while consumers only keep clothing half as long as they used to. Many consumers believe buying and donating clothing at a rapid pace is okay because their donated clothing will stay out of landfills and go to someone who needs it. However, Canadian non-profit Fashion Takes Action found that only 25 per cent of clothing donated in Canada is sold to local customers. What isn’t sold in Canada is shipped to Asia, Latin America, Eastern Europe, or Sub-Saharan Africa, which has negatively affected developing countries’ textile markets, and resulted in clothing being dumped in their landfills.
Clothing Bakery buys most of its inventory from a wholesaler who owns a warehouse with second-hand clothing from Canada and the United States. Delera has a weekly video call with the wholesaler, where he chooses which items he wants for his shop.
“A big issue is that they’ve been getting a lot of newer stuff because it’s harder to find vintage,” said Delera.
Another reason curated vintage is becoming so popular is thrifters are struggling to find quality, vintage pieces in thrift stores. According to the thredUP 2023 Resale Report, the biggest motivators for consumers to buy second-hand are value and quality. The 2023 Resale Report from TheRealReal, an online luxury resale service, shows customers of all ages are willing to spend more money on items of higher quality. If thrift and vintage stores are full of fast fashion and micro-trends, how are consumers going to buy one-of-a-kind quality pieces?
“That’s the convenience we bring to the table,” said Delera, “Stuff that [the customers] like and want is all in one place, so it’s just easier for them.”
The Future of Second-hand Fashion
As I walked up the icy path to my house, I noticed a package on my front steps — my style bundle had arrived! I brought it inside, sliced open the tape, and peeled back the white tissue paper. Placed on top of my clothes was a note from Holly, the store owner, explaining the choices behind each piece. The Pinterest board I sent Holly was inspired by my upcoming trip this spring, and it included many long flowy dresses, floral patterns, and fabric for hot weather. I undid the bow wrapped around the clothing and pulled out the first piece, a gorgeous pink floral dress. Holly and I had worked together over Instagram DMs to choose the four pieces I wanted, and for $65 I received two dresses, a tank top, and a vest. I tried on each piece, and all of them fit perfectly and were exactly like the pieces I had envisioned for my trip. If buying second-hand clothing online is this easy, affordable, and fun, there’s no reason to continue buying fast fashion.
It looks like the future of second-hand fashion will be a combination of both online and in-person thrifting. The online resale market is expected to grow, but in-person thrifting is not stopping any time soon. Clothing trends may come and go, but second-hand is here to stay.


Click on the image to view the slideshow of a development in Cúa, Miranda State, Venezuela built by the Engineer Augusto Corrales. Sr. Corrales is a developer of larger scale projects, having built more than one thousand houses in the past few years. Two of his trusted engineers worked with our company for two weeks in Barinas, to learn how to build with CEB blocks. Soon afterwards, they built a demonstration house with this system at the site where Sr. Corrales already had constructed 300 houses using cement blocks. Their intention for doing so was:
1. To determine the present cost of CEB construction in comparison to building with concrete blocks, and
2. Observe the reaction of potential buyers for this style of construction.
The results were totally unexpected: The house built with compressed earth blocks reduced the cost of construction by 20% using the same floor plan and area used previously but with concrete blocks. The overall reduction of cost included using a wood ceiling instead of metal panels and ceramic tile floors instead of concrete floors. The reaction was that people much preferred the new CEB designed house. Sr. Corrales was then obligated to price the CEB house (even though it cost 20% less to build) 15% higher than the concrete block houses because otherwise he would be unable to sell the remaining concrete houses!

I’m excited to dive into a topic that’s not only important but transformational—building wealth as a musician entrepreneur. It’s for anyone who wants to unlock the enormous potential for financial abundance through their unique skills and creativity.
Before diving deep into the strategies, let’s address the elephant in the room—why does wealth matter? Simply put, wealth is the bedrock that allows us to build other aspects of a fulfilling life. Whether your goal is to create scholarship opportunities, fund a charitable endeavor, or spend more quality time with your family, it all starts with having a solid financial foundation.
The Wealth Inside You
Many people labor under the misconception that to build wealth, you have to work harder and do more. While hard work is commendable, the secret to building wealth lies in solving problems for others through your unique skills, background, and expertise. You already have wealth inside you in the form of your talents, knowledge, and life experiences. It’s about leveraging these to offer something valuable to your ideal clients.
Impostor Syndrome? You’re Not Alone
If you find yourself asking, “Why me? What can I offer that’s different?”, know that you’re not alone. Impostor syndrome can be a significant roadblock. The first step to overcoming it is acknowledging your worthiness and recognizing that you have something unique to offer the world.
Identifying Problems and Offering Solutions
Your pathway to wealth begins by identifying the problems that your potential clients face. What are they struggling with? What’s missing in the current solutions available to them? Once you figure that out, you can create a targeted solution that addresses those issues effectively.
The Big WHY
So you’ve acknowledged that you’re worthy and capable of building a wealth-generating solution. But there’s another layer to this—the WHY. Your ‘why’ is the driving force that keeps you going even when the going gets tough. Why do you want to build wealth? Is it to provide a better life for your family, create an impact, or achieve something else entirely?
Building wealth isn’t just about accumulating money. It’s about achieving clarity in what you want, leveraging your unique gifts to solve real-world problems, and creating a pathway for financial freedom and impact. If you already have a service that you’re offering—be it teaching music, helping with performance anxiety, or running a studio—the principles remain the same.
So, let’s continue the conversation. I’m eager to hear from you. Share your thoughts in the comments below on what wealth means to you, why it’s important, and how you’re planning to achieve it.
If you would like to chat with me or a member of my team about how we can work together to accomplish your wealth building, click here to schedule a free growth strategy audit so we can dive deep into your situation and see how we can best support you. Here’s to ditching the ‘starving artist’ stereotype and embracing our potential as empowered musician entrepreneurs!

There are billions of financial transactions happening right now between consumers, businesses, and governments around the world. The vast majority of these transactions are denominated in U.S. dollars. As the world’s reserve currency, the dollar serves as the unit of account for most global trade and foreign exchange transactions. Simply put, there is no currency more important to the functioning of the world economy than the dollar.
As a result, the U.S. has spent the last 75 years in the driver’s seat of the global financial system incurring a range of economic and geopolitical advantages. U.S. consumers have enjoyed low interest rates and cheap imports for decades, spawning one of the world’s highest standards of living. In turn, the U.S. government has been able to sustain large trade deficits without inflation and successfully advance its national security interests through economic sanctions which prevent nations from accessing the dollar for cross-border transactions. For years, adversaries have sought to bypass the Western financial system with little success.
However, the reign of dollar supremacy is not guaranteed. China is now preparing to take the most ambitious step yet to internationalize an alternative currency to the dollar. In April, China’s central bank became the first to pilot a national digital currency for the renminbi, known as the e-RMB. The renminbi represents the most viable currency to dethrone the dollar due to the size of China’s economy and its integral role in the global supply chain. If successful in its vision to create an alternative to the dollar, China could shift the paradigm of the global economy into a new era – one with a duopoly of reserve currencies that would have a significant impact on international competition.
In this new era, imagine that the U.S. comes to learn that North Korea is trying to acquire uranium from Iran for its nuclear weapons program. The U.S. would issue new sanctions, but North Korea and Iran would have shifted much of their global trade into using the new Chinese digital currency thus allowing them to circumvent the dollar payments system. Now the sanctions are ineffective at damaging North Korea or Iran’s economy in order to change their calculus, and the U.S. no longer has the visibility to track and shut down illicit financial flows going to purchase nuclear materials.
The U.S. is currently unprepared for a scenario like this. As COVID-19 accelerates the digitalization of the world economy, the U.S. cannot afford to fall behind China in the sphere of digital currency. China’s brand of techno-authoritarianism, if successfully applied to money, would pose a fundamental threat to the rules-based world order that the dollar underpins. The U.S. must act now by developing a “digital dollar” – a new national, central bank digital currency issued by the Federal Reserve.
Rather than letting other nations dictate the terms of a digital world economy, the U.S. would lead the way by modernizing the dollar’s underlying technological infrastructure. Advancements that enable the programmability of money could unleash innovative new functions like customized privacy and data ownership (e.g. preventing the selling of payment data), consumer wallets for the unbanked (e.g. direct government assistance payments), or frictionless peer-to-peer cross-border payments and currency conversions (e.g. remittances).
Amidst the global economic turmoil caused by the pandemic, the dollar’s role as an anchor of economic stability is more important than ever. A digital dollar presents an opportunity to future-proof the dollar’s role as the world’s reserve currency by spurring new innovations and operational efficiencies while also reinforcing U.S. values of transparency, rule of law, and privacy in a world soon to be dominated by competing digital currencies.

The house of representatives of the US Congress voted for a temporary budget law that will avoid the shutdown of Federal agencies. The bill was supported by 359 people, 57 opposed.
If the Democrats and Republicans failed to reach an agreement, Federal agencies would have to stop working on the first of October, RIA Novosti writes. Earlier, controversy arose over aid to farmers and the extension of a program launched as part of measures to combat coronavirus, which guarantees free or reduced-price meals to children in schools.
Now the budget law must go to the Senate for a vote. The Federal government’s fiscal year 2020 ends in the United States on September 30.
Earlier it was reported that Democrats and Republicans agreed to allocate eight billion dollars to those who are out of work and who have nothing to feed their children. This was reported by the speaker of the house of representatives Nancy Pelosi. “We are also strengthening accountability to prevent the misuse of funds intended for farmers,” the Congress stressed.

Education and skills provide a brighter future.
Haiti is no longer prominent in the news but the effect of the 2010 earthquake are still being felt by the homeless and hopeless kids on the streets today. With 60% unemployment and half the population living well below the poverty line, the future may seem already written for them but with the support of the Haiti boat building Project and in partnership with Haiti Ocean Project a better future can start to become reality. The goal of the Haiti Boat Building Project is to provide care and accommodation for homeless kids and teach them the skills of carpentry and boat building which will enable them to grow in confidence and provide themselves with an income and a future. The project is in its infancy and is located at the Marine Centre in Petite Riviere de Nippes which is the base of Haiti Ocean Project.
To be given the opportunity to learn is something most of us are provided with but sadly not everyone gets that choice.
Through offering learning in the fields of carpentry and boat building to English language and computer literacy a whole world of opportunity and job prospects open up to kids who simply wouldn't get that chance. It can be the difference between a life in poverty on the streets and a life of hope and security.


In a world where alternatives abound, native smokes emerges as a beacon for those in search of an excellent lifestyle and a touch of the background of their smoking experience. The allure of purchasing Native Smokes in bulk transcends mere comfort. It delves into the realm of economics, sustainability, and cultural appreciation intertwine.
Let’s have a look at each of those factors:
Cost Savings: Purchasing in bulk frequently gives enormous fee financial savings according to unit compared to buying character packs. This is especially true for products like cigarettes, wherein the in-step with-unit cost decreases while buying in large portions. Native Smokes, known for their affordability, can offer even extra savings when offered in bulk, making it an attractive choice for budget-conscious clients.
Convenience: Buying in bulk means you have a larger delivery on hand, lowering the frequency of buying trips. This can be especially handy for individuals who smoke regularly and prefer not to expire in their preferred emblem now. By stocking up on Native Smokes, smokers can avoid the trouble of common journeys to the shop and ensure they have ample delivery available.
Assurance of Availability: Native smokes won’t be comfortably available in all stores or regions, specifically if you opt for a particular range or taste. Buying in bulk permits you to stabilize a good enough supply, ensuring you might not be caught off guard by surprising shortages or supply chain disruptions. This peace of mind can be helpful, especially for folks who depend upon Native Smokes as their number-one choice of tobacco product.
Quality Control: You could inspect the complete lot for defects or inconsistencies when buying in bulk. This is particularly relevant for tobacco products, in which first-class can vary between batches. By shopping for Native Smokes in bulk, you can make certain uniformity in flavor, aroma, and normal satisfaction throughout all the packs you buy. This can be particularly vital for people who smoke and are discerning approximately the traits of their cigarettes.
Reduced Packaging Waste: Buying in bulk usually entails less packaging per unit as compared to character packs. This discount in packaging waste may be more environmentally pleasant as it reduces the quantity of fabric used and discarded. By choosing bulk purchases of Native Smokes, environmentally aware purchasers can decrease their environmental footprint associated with packaging waste.
Customization and Variety: Some retailers offer bulk shopping options that allow customers to customize their orders or choose from a greater variety of merchandise. This can be tremendous for smokers who pick unique blends, flavors, or packaging formats within the Native Smokes emblem. Bulk buying permits you to tailor your purchase to your choices, ensuring you get exactly what you want without compromise.
Potential for Resale or Sharing: Buying native smokes in bulk can also gift possibilities for resale or sharing with pals and a circle of relatives. If you have a relied-on circle of smokers who share your choice for Native Smokes, pooling sources to shop for in bulk can bring about cost savings for anybody involved. Additionally, if you have surplus inventory, you could remember selling it to others who may have trouble accessing Native Smokes or are looking for an extra low-cost option.
In the end, purchasing native smokes in bulk gives numerous advantages, including value savings, comfort, excellent management, assurance of availability, reduced packaging waste, customization options, and potential for resale or sharing. Whether you are a normal smoker looking to keep cash or someone who values consistency and comfort, shopping for native smokes in bulk can be a sensible and useful desire.

The rapid rise of drones isn’t just about cool aerial footage or quick package deliveries. Drones have started to play a major role in military operations, and the need for defense against them comes with that. As highlighted by a study from Grand View Research, there’s been a significant investment in anti-drone weapons to combat potential threats. This isn’t about shooting them down but more about Anti-Drone Systems jamming their systems or taking control. It’s a new field of defense, and as drones evolve, so does the technology to counteract them. In this exploration, we’ll dive into how these countermeasures, specifically drone jammers, are redefining modern warfare.
How Anti-Drone Systems are Shaping Modern Warfare?
1. Mitigation Systems and Their Importance
Mitigation systems have emerged as a crucial aspect of the counter-drone market. According to the data from Grand View Research, mitigation systems were leading in market share in 2016 in terms of revenue.
- Destructive Systems: These are designed to destroy the operational components of drones. Within this category, we see three primary methods:
- Laser Systems: These aim to disable drones by targeting them with precise and high-energy lasers.
- Missile Effectors: These involve launching projectiles to intercept and destroy the drone.
- Electronic Counter Measure Systems: They disrupt the drone’s communication systems, rendering them non-operational.
Between 2015 and 2024, the global market for destructive systems saw impressive growth, from $266.1 million to a staggering $1.733 billion. On the other hand, non-destructive systems are growing comparatively slower, with projections showing an increase from $32.9 million in 2015 to $117.4 million by 2024.
2. Defense Systems: Detection vs. Disruption
Defense against drones is primarily categorized into two segments: Detection and Disruption systems.
- Detection Systems: These primarily focus on identifying and tracking drones. Key technologies leading in this domain include Radar-based and Active Optics systems. Their affordability compared to RF emission or acoustic-type detection systems makes them a preferred choice. This segment is growing robustly, with market growth from $92.9 million in 2015 to $616.1 million by 2024.
- Detection & Disruption Systems: These not only detect but also neutralize or take control of the intruding drones. The market growth for this category is projected from $206.1 million in 2015 to $1.23 billion by 2024.
3. End-Use of Anti-Drone Systems in Military & Beyond
Different sectors employ counter-drone technologies, but the military and defense remain the primary users.
- Military & Defense: With the increase in R&D activities by defense prime contractors, the military has become the leading end-user. The market size for counter-drone systems in this segment is poised to surpass USD 900 million by 2024, up from $179.4 million in 2015.
- Government: This segment too, though trailing behind the military, shows promising growth. From a market size of $35.9 million in 2015, it’s projected to reach $284.5 million by 2024.
- Commercial Sector: Beyond the military and government, counter-drone technologies are finding applications in commercial sectors, especially for the protection of infrastructure like airports and public places. Growth here is forecasted from $56.2 million in 2015 to $388.9 million by 2024.
4. Key Players and Global Presence
Companies play a significant role in the drone jammers market’s expansion. Firms with over USD 1 billion in revenue as of 2015 account for 55% of the market. In terms of global presence, the USA leads with 62 companies in the counter-drone sector, followed by the UK, Israel, and countries like Germany, France, and Switzerland.
Lastly, the evolution of drone technologies has brought both advancements and challenges, especially in the realm of military applications. As highlighted above, the anti drone weapons or drone jammers play a pivotal role in shaping modern warfare strategies, ensuring that as drones become more advanced, so do the methods to counteract them.


The 1850s witnessed the height of the California Gold Rush wherein the Port and City of San Francisco developed rapidly. It was during this historic time that California Stevedore and Ballast Company was conceived by two Danish sea captains in San Francisco by the names of Eschen and Minor. And, as the saying goes, the rest is history. The development of Southern California with the Ports of Long Beach and Los Angeles led to the formation in 1923 of a second company named Metropolitan Stevedore Company, later rebranded to Metro Ports.
The Roaring ’20s was a time when our industry was built on the backs of a strong labor force. Nowhere was this more evident than in the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, where Metro Ports saw an opportunity to introduce new systems to help labor keep up with the increasing imports of products from Europe, fruit from the Tropics, and rubber from the East Indies.
Unloading these sailing ships and steamers was only part of a stevedore’s day. Empty vessels were reloaded with outbound cargos requiring the same kind of planning, equipment, and strong labor. Exports included borax from the dry California desert, ores from the mines in the Southwest, and seafood harvested by local fishermen off the West Coast.
Since 1923, Metro Ports' headquarters have remained in Wilmington, California, a testament of their vision to continually meeting customer’s needs and growing with an ever-changing industry that demands innovation and a strong commitment to quality and excellence.

Investing in new machinery and embracing digital manufacturing techniques can deliver automation, cost savings and better safety for timber product businesses and their staff.
The big question for most organisations is how and when to invest. Improving production efficiencies, increasing quality and making cost savings to improve profitability involve complex decisions.
Sometimes, space is an issue. Existing manufacturing schedules cannot be disrupted while new machinery is installed. There’s also a need to keep existing staff productive instead of releasing them for lengthy periods of training.
AV Birch offers timber engineering solutions that are bespoke, adaptable and intuitive. That means machinery and systems that can work with your business and personnel, grow as you grow, and instil confidence in the people who operate the controls.
Timber truss and beam production made easy
No production operation should be considered easy to establish, maintain and expand, but AV Birch offers decades of engineering experience to give customers every possible advantage.
Latest systems offer features that boost every aspect of production, whether you are manufacturing roof trusses or floor joists and beams.
Take our Magna Truss roof truss manufacturing system. The whole process encourages an easy work flow, with time and space saving functionality built in to all aspects of the system.
The Magna-Loc pedestals can be quickly positioned, moved and operated. Foot controls and no cables keep this machinery safe for employees.
A 27-ton press head is a two-handed operation, with a tool balancer to further promote control and safety for the operators.
Parts and controls are positioned for convenient maintenance and swap-out, giving cost savings and keeping machinery available for manufacturing.
Options to expand capacity
All AV Birch machinery is designed and installed with the future in mind. The Uni-Roll Open Web Floor Beam Press offers an efficient and speedy traverse action, giving production facilities options to vary output as required.
Pre-set jobs and remote control functionality puts the power in operators’ hands, while laser technology boosts set-up times and improves product accuracy.
Ultimately, open-web joists can be produced at up to 150 metres per hour.
As with other systems, the Uni-Roll 750 comes with both pull-chord and push-button safety stop features.
A timber engineering partner you can trust
When you deal with AV Birch you know exactly what to expect. What we say we will deliver, we deliver.
We provide a complete solution, helping your business acquire machinery and technology that makes a real difference to your bottom line.
From concept to installation, including all fabrication work, detailed machining, integration of hydraulics, pneumatics and electrical works, our experienced in-house team controls the process and keeps you in the loop.
If you’d like to discuss a timber engineering machinery project for your business please get in touch. Call Scott Heyes on 01746 714 418 or email email@example.com for further details about the machinery and equipment we offer.


If you are in the market for a new car, financing your purchase is one of the key considerations, and by understanding the basics of car finance, you will be in a better position to know what you can and what you cannot afford.
Buying a car is a huge decision, especially from a financial point of view, so you will want to get the financing of your purchase right. Buying a car outright for cash is not an option for many people, so you will more than likely have to obtain some kind of financing from an external source. That is not to say, however, that you should expect to finance a car purchase entirely from a loan, so it is a good idea to have some savings, at least. For one thing, a finance provider will typically require evidence that you have a handle on your finances, and what better evidence than savings? Having a deposit to back up your purchase is another sensible piece of advice.
A great tip for saving money is to open a savings account and deposit some of your wages or salary directly into that account. Put in an amount you can afford and that will not leave you short for other essential purchases and bills. Becoming a regular saver is a good habit to cultivate.
The language used in financing can seem daunting, so reaching an understanding of the different terms used can help you overcome any sense of feeling overwhelmed as you seek to obtain finance for your new car. Some of the most common phrases used include:
- Annual Percentage Rate (APR): This refers to the cost of the loan amount provided and is expressed as an annual rate. APR is influenced by a number of factors, from credit history and current market rates to competition. APR can be negotiated, however, so you should try to negotiate a lower figure, in the same way that you would negotiate over the price of a car.
- Credit report: This report incorporates such information as your address; how you pay your bills; and whether you have encountered financial difficulties, such as the inability to pay off previous loans, in the past. Consumer reporting agencies have the authority to sell this information to credit providers.
- Credit score: This score is a reflection of your credit risk and is arrived at by analyzing the information on a credit file. Your credit score can be used to help calculate the rate and loan terms you will be offered when you start seeking finance for your new car.
- Total of payments: You will pay this amount after you have completed making all your scheduled payments. If you are leasing a vehicle, it will be the amount paid off at the end of the lease period.
Auto Loan Solutions are at your fingertips, thanks to the advent of the Internet. Loan companies have gravitated online, making it easier than ever to retrieve a quote for a loan or to compare loan rates between different providers.
Understanding the basics of car finance is essential to obtaining the best rate and the type of loan structure that suits you best.


It is hard to keep up with new game releases, but even harder to keep up with casino launches. In 2019, an estimated 150 new casinos were added to the UK market alone, and the current year seems to be well on its way to exceeding that mark. Casino gambling is increasingly prominent in the virtual space as more and more gaming enthusiasts are gravitating away from the traditional land-based setting. The Gross Gaming Yield of the online gambling sector from April 2017 to Match 2018 was £5.4 billion – the biggest in the entire industry. Slots alone account for £2 billion out of that revenue, and these figures are an increase of 19.3% from the previous year.
One of the perks of new casino sites is that they benefit from the latest web designs and technology. Eye-catching and intuitive layouts with beautifully defined themes, characterize these sites. Often, new customers are welcomed by sleek and innovative avatars that guide them through the casino. The deposit bonus and free spins may provide the greatest allure of a casino, but aesthetics definitely give an extra edge for attracting new players. These casinos have one thing in common; they have all met up to our standards. More importantly, they are recognized by the UK gambling commission and are safe and legitimate.
Big brand names rule the minds of players, and the upcoming UK casinos online hardly even get the chance to reach new customers. Though it is difficult to keep up with them, the new generation of online casinos has so much to offer. Whether you are looking for a fresh experience or are a first-timer to online gambling, it is easy to see the appeal of a new casino.
Here are some of the latest gambling concepts on new casino sites:
The new casino experience is more interactive than ever before with the incorporation of an exciting feature known as gamification. The concept is designed for you to take part in challenges while competing against other players. You complete missions and earn rewards as you strive to move up the leaderboard.
The improved level of engagement makes the online casino increasingly similar to the video game structure, and this has attracted a new wave of UK casino gamers. However, gamification is not only for millennial players. The achievements are similar to those in a loyalty scheme, only on a more advanced level, so the older generation will find it quite exciting as well. You get extra value with superior gaming experience. Plus, you don’t have to make a hefty deposit as you would in the VIP scheme of your average online casino sites.
Blockchain technology which has gained attention in a variety of industries is the basis of the Bitcoin network. Bitcoin casinos are popular for being “transparent” and “trustless”. The issue of trust is non-existent because the public can access transactions stored in the digital ledger. As the name suggests, these casinos accept Bitcoin as a payment method alongside other altcoins.
With cryptocurrency, payouts are instant, and the minimal information required from new customers makes it the most secure payment method to date. Bitcoin is a decentralized currency, so unlike the British pound and other fiat alternatives, it is not controlled by a central authority. The nature of cryptos provides anonymity and privacy to players and is not deterred by country limits.
With all these benefits, the bitcoin casino is almost perfect. However, the deposit bonus at a bitcoin casino is on the smaller side compared to the bonus offered by regular casinos. Bitcoin casinos are not fully licensed in the UK yet but the influx of new players in recent years will most likely bring about massive changes to that in the future.
Virtual reality produces an entirely new casino gaming experience. Game developers like NetEnt and Microgaming have been pushing for VR casinos. The former displayed its first full virtual reality slot game back in 2017, While the latter has a Blackjack VR game in the works. The adoption of the concept is barred mostly by cost, as creating such games is hugely capital intensive. Despite the challenges, the possibilities are quite exciting. We will have to watch where the future of the online UK casino takes us in the coming years.
Every week a new online casino in the UK is launched, but not all new casinos make our list. There is a myriad of choices and along with them come various questions about their authenticity. This is where casino reviews come into play. The safest way for new customers to learn about a website is from second-hand experience. We consider the pros and cons of each site as well as the t c for bonus claiming, among other things.
New casinos are under a lot of pressure to bring something fresh to the table. These sites are very fragile and can quickly fizzle out if they don’t make an impact on the players. That is why they garner attention by incentivizing with bonus offers.
Our review of the latest online casinos is highly influenced by the games available on the site. New casinos are often distinguished by the presence of modern gaming technology and a wider range of gaming verticals. They offer the classics available on older sites alongside the latest game releases with improved elements and concepts. The best part is they have some of the highest online slots payout percentage rates in the UK. Slots fanatics are in luck because many new sites focus solely on one-armed bandits. New casino sites provide slots with varying themes and features, engaging storylines, and state-of-the-art graphics. You will notice that free spins are a common type of bonus at many casinos, and this is because slots are dominating the online casino scene. More than half of a casino’s game collection is made up of slot titles, and game developers continuously churn out new releases on the market. Game providers are the brains behind it all, and our list of casinos are affiliated with software vendors like NetEnt, Playtech, Play’n Go, Yggdrasil, and Evolution. Multi-way wins, stacked wilds, multiple grids and mini-games are some of the new innovations designed to improve gameplay. New players have better ways to bank more money with each spin of the reels.
Players get the feel of being in the Las Vegas strip through live dealer games. Live casinos accurately portray the ambience of the most famous land-based lobbies with lights, sounds, and human croupiers who handle the tables in real-time. This category has managed to merge the traditional casino culture into the contemporary digital style of gaming. Live casino libraries feature live blackjack, live roulette, live roulette and live poker games in a number of variations. The live dealer bonus is not as prominent as the regular casino bonus, but it does exist. A typical live dealer bonus will require you to deposit 10 pounds or thereabout to benefit from cashbacks, 100% bonus match and so on. Live casinos, however, do not offer free spins because bonus spins are specific to slots.
There is an increase in e-wallets at UK new online casinos. This is because these payment gateways allow funds to be transferred within 24 hours. New players no longer have to wait days for an e-check to be cleared or for a bank transfer to be processed. Every UK online casino offers diverse payment options like Mastercard, Visa, Skrill and Neteller, Zimpler, and Trustly. E-wallets are quite popular for bonus claiming. That is why they have quickly gained traction among iGamers. To claim a bonus, UK players can deposit 10-20 pounds at the least. As a rule on most casinos, the method of deposit should also be the method of withdrawal. However, if the deposit option does not work for withdrawals, you can cash out using any other payment solution. The wide acceptance of British currency makes it easy to deposit both locally and internationally.
The technology at the fingertips of new operators enables them to provide advanced customer support. This aspect holds much importance because no matter how good or well laid out an online casino in the UK is, a situation inevitably arises where players need assistance. On our list of new casino sites, you receive first-class treatment with friendly and responsive support 24/7. There are also more mediums through which you can get in touch with the team, including live chat, email, telephone and social media platforms. The casinos on our list also have a FAQ section where you can quickly get information on bonus clearing, min. deposit and max. cashout, and other basic inquiries about the casino.
A casino with a license is a trustworthy casino. The UK gambling commission has a reputation for being the strictest regulator in the industry. For our list of top new casino sites, a gaming license from the UKGC is indispensable. In line with the duties and obligations, every licensee has to implement the standard level of security.
Both old and new customers find a lot of value in VIP programs. At older casinos, you would only be accepted into the VIP club after you have made a certain number of bets or staked a particular amount of money on games. Sometimes UK players have to wait for a very long time to be recognized as a VIP, while others never make the cut. New online casinos make the VIP program accessible to everyone from the start. New players can begin from the first level and make their way to the top as they deposit and play. With every new VIP level unlocked, you get rewards such as free spins; a reload bonus, cashback bonus, or free cash. The best VIP schemes are quite generous with free spins. We’ve seen offers as high as 500 bonus spins. Value is added with every deposit; members get reload bonus gifts that run in hundreds of pounds. And the cashback bonus serves to minimize your losses. On reaching the topmost tiers, you receive invitations to special events and get all-expense-paid trips to the best holiday destinations around the world.
Established sites have gained the trust of avid gamers over the years. Players know their games, offers and payout methods, and one is often scared of change. As much as you find comfort in those familiar surroundings, the advantages of playing at a new casino are too good to pass up. To attract new players, upcoming operators have to work extra hard, and it is on new casinos that you find the most innovative products and the best bonus deals.
Where you would deposit 10 pounds to get 50 bonus spins at an older casino, you would deposit 10 pounds and receive 100 bonus spins at a new site.
In the same vein, players who deposit 10 pounds to claim a £10 bonus on an already established site can deposit 10 pounds and claim a £20 or £30 bonus. The standard match deposit bonus is 100%, but new casinos offer up to a 200% match deposit bonus and higher.
When it comes to keeping up with the trend, new casinos are the best. A few years ago, when HTML5 games first sprung up, more modern casinos had game catalogues completely void of Flash technology. On the other hand, the established ones needed time to convert their games and are still in the process to this day. Established online casinos are often trapped by old architecture in their websites and games. For them, it is difficult to improve functionality, and they tend to sacrifice user experience and compatibility.
You can play your favourite games across all platforms – mobile phones and tablets included. These new online casinos have responsive websites that adapt to different screen sizes and allow instant play. Many of them also have a mobile app that can be found on the Google Play Store and the App Store.
Mobile gaming allows a more convenient user experience because you can play on the go. The mobile casino also has a dedicated bonus, and free spins offer for mobile users. Apps load very quickly, and you only need to sign in once because it keeps you connected to your player account as long as it remains installed on your device.
UK existing customers know all too well the anxiety around that initial deposit in a casino. Even new players understand the importance of making the first deposit. It is the first step into the casino gambling space where literally anything is possible.
Nonetheless, some casino sites let new customers play for real money without making a dent in their bank account. At a no deposit casino, you get a cash bonus and free spins to play with as soon as you open your account. New players can try out games that they would not have considered under normal circumstances for the risk of losing money. The no deposit new casino bonus usually comes with wagering requirements and time restrictions, so make sure to read the t c attached to them.
Casino gaming has seeped into another medium that is creating greater awareness about the industry, especially to the new generation of UK players. Online gaming has now spread through social networks like Twitter and Facebook, where new players can play casino games with free coins.
The premium model of these games, however, requires you to make a real money deposit, and there have been incidences of excessive spending through the platform. This is because there are fewer regulations on responsible gambling compared to playing at actual online casinos.
The value of a bonus is not limited to the amount being advertised. Rather, it extends to the t c behind the curtain. UK Players are becoming smarter about picking casinos solely based on the deposit bonus and free spins on offer. New players are advised to check the t c always to find out the rollover requirements for any bonus. Wagering requirements are a casino standard that has been associated with bonus offerings since the inception of online gaming.
A typical bonus t c would state something along these lines; Before withdrawing any funds, players have to roll over the bonus or deposit 10 times, or both.
If you’re not interested in replaying your winnings, you’re in luck because new casinos have come up with the no wagering concept. At new no wagering online casinos, you can withdraw your bonus immediately, and free spins are actually and completely free. However, not many operators in the UK have taken to the idea of the no wagering bonus. So when playing at multiple casinos, it is difficult to avoid this aspect of bonus t c.
Your best bet would be to choose new online casinos with lower wagering requirements. The most lucrative kind of bonus should require you to roll over your deposit 10 times or less. An offer where you have to wager your deposit + bonus numerous times will prove unprofitable.
The UK is a regulated gambling market, so it is easy to understand why the industry is thriving so well. Brand new online casinos UK has fine-tuned their product and ironed out the kinks to deliver a fresh and improved gambling experience. They have a variety of games, excellent customer service and are generous with deposit bonus offers and free spins. They also have numerous payment methods and reasonable payout times.
We scour the internet and keep a hawk’s eye on the online gambling industry to provide you with the latest new casinos on the market. Deciding to play at a new casino is totally up to you, but in our opinion, they are definitely worth your time and money. With new casino sites in the UK, players get to experience a new kind of excitement.
