Web hosts aren’t just flooding the Internet- casinos are too. I was doing a bit of research about online casinos, and I found that they pay most per click for advertising and dominate the whole top 100 CPC list. I don’t know about you but I have never gambled on an online casino, Internet poker website, or even downloaded any poker software. There income must be extremely high or they just get more than $5.00 per customer visiting their website, as casino adds average on about $4.50 per click! If I did gamble I think it would be better to gamble in person as websites like partypoker.com, offer party poker. It is safer to gamble money in person (well unless you get into a fight of some sort). You can use skills when gambling in casino, its not just all skill. Also payday loan online offers you money to go gamble with. This money has hidden high interest prices and usually leads to bankruptcy. Even msn offers gambling now, amazing.

I think that it is ridiculous how some people use the power of the Internet for things that it was not designed to be used for. blink.gif But I guess that will never stop anyone from trying to do anything online… But this is a different topic… tongue.gif

As for the hidden fees of online gambling, they don't want people to know that because that's how they get most of their money. I agree that gambling face to face if safer, and it requires more skill (especially with poker) then playing in front of a computer.

Ugh, I hate casinos. Why do they have to disturb our peace online? I get a lot of those gambling pop ups. "Guess who this movie star is to win $10,000!" It's SO ANNOYING. I do not think that msn or any other web site should endorse gambling because it causes addiction, and people who are trying to get help with normal casinos can now gamble in the privacy of their own home. How sick is that?

I think it's a pretty smart idea on their part. I mean, they advertise on the most viewed place in the world. If I got $5.00 per click, I'd be advertising like crazy too.

I guess it doesn't really bother me, because I don't pay attention to many advertisements on the web.

The casinos are simply tapping an untapped resource... I mean what would you do if you owned a casino?

Gamblin! I dont find any problem in gambling at all aas long you are gambling within the limits of your capacity and with your friends. But if you are gambling in a casino then you must have had understand that you are not gonna win. Online casino is another trick to enduce money from people buy making them believe that they could win which they will not. But of course if you have a lot of money and want to kick up some adrenalin then why not smile.gif just dont regret it.

Yes I agree, only bet with what you have, and make sure you have someone that will tell you when you are going over the limit and will make sure you don't get into lots and lots of dedt. We hear so many stories about how many people are gambling everything away and online casinos are helping this a alot.
