There was an 11% increase in the number of unique visitors last month by Americans to online gambling sites as reported by marketing research company comScore Incorporated, who reported 16.1 million unique visits to online gambling sites in November 2008. That figure represents an increase of over 1.5 million from October’s total.
The biggest escalation reported came from online coupon sites, which saw a 32% rise to 35.6 million unique visits, which is a reflection of the current economic climate. As the holiday season began, retail sites including toys, consumer electronics and department stores held second spot with a 25% increase (19.2 million unique visits).
Sites owned by Google remained the most popular online properties with 147 million visitors followed by Yahoo! domains with nearly 144 million visitors. In third place was Microsoft with 123.5 million visitors while AOL held down fourth with 110 million.
Now there’s another reason to get in on the biggest tournament day of the week, with FullTiltPoker.com’s $100,000 Double Deuce Tournament starting November 23rd.
Every Sunday at 4:35pm ET (9:35pm GMT), you have the chance to turn $22 into your share of a $100,000 guaranteed prize pool – with nearly $20K guaranteed for the winner.
Look for the tan color-coded $100K Double Deuce in the tournament lobby and buy in for $20 + $2.
Or you can satellite in for as little as $0.60 or 200 Full Tilt Points, and turn just $0.60 into almost $20K for a victory!

There is a bit of action brewing at Full Tilt Poker. They have upped the antes on their popular Guarantee Tournaments. The weekly combined prize pool is now in excess of $8,000,000! That’s right: Eight million dollars (I just *had* to write it out)! That certainly adds some incentive to hit the (virtual) felt.
