Eleven Percent Increase
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.

Online Casino Gaming Options
Poker Diversion
Though I’m an avid online poker player, I’ve recently made a nice discovery in the online gambling world. Actually a few new discoveries. This might be old news to you die-hard internet gamblers, but it is a new and fun discovery for me.
First off, when I’m going to bet on sporting events, I usually go to a sports book such as Sportsbook.com or Superbook.com (which, incidentally, are both operated by the same company).
Casino Games Galore
What I didn’t realize is that Sportsbook.com (and Superbook, too) offer all sorts of online casino gaming options. As I poked around the site, I ended up playing Roulette, Craps and Blackjack for hours. Time just slipped away. If you’re ever in the mood to take a break from your favorite poker games, you might want to wager on video poker… or Roulette, Craps and all the popular casino games.
One Account Unlocks All the Games
Play for real money or play for practice and wager nothing. It’s all accessible with one account. Many online gaming operators require you to open separate accounts to play their different gaming options. Not at Sportsbook.com. One account accesses ALL of them. And there are many to choose from (see below). And Sportsbook is one of the longest lasting and most respected names in the online gambling world. Your money and bets are safe at Sportsbook.com.
If you’re not sure that you want top open an account, you can still give the site a good going-over. All their games are accessible whether you’re a member or not.
Here’s what you do:
- Go to the main page.
- Look for the easy to find links to all their gaming options.
- Click the one you want, let’s say it’s Craps.
- A new window will open.
- You can open an account from this page, or:
- Look for the link under the Sign-up box (It says “Click here to play for fun”)
- That’s it! The game loads, and you’re off!

- Texas Hold ‘em
- Casino Holdem

Absolute Poker Pays Out Record ‘Bad Beat’ Jackpot
Absolute Poker ‘Bad Beat’ Breaks Record
Not only was it Bad… as well as BIG… but it was incredibly beautiful, too!.
Last Sunday, history was made in the online poker world when Absolute Poker paid out a record breaking win, the world’s largest Bad Beat Jackpot. The win brought in an eye-popping $996,115.28. Just one monkey-hair away from being a cool million dollar pot!
Monster Jackpot for the Losers
A lucky Absolute Poker player, a “loser” whose moniker is RIVERMAN1969 took home the lion’s share of the prize: $325,212.40.
The Pasadena, California based poker player won the jackpot when his quad 10s were beaten by a royal procession of four Queens. That’s the beauty of a BAD BEAT! Almost 90 other happy poker players also enjoyed a share of this record prize. Maybe next time, you could be one of them. Start playing now!
Congratulations to the losers (in this case, winners!) each of whom had made the wise decision to play at Absolute Poker’s Bad Beat Jackpot tables.
Don’t miss out when the next monster jackpot hits. Get in on it. If you’re lucky, you might just get your butt kicked!
