Internet gambling sites saw a drop in traffic last month as President George
W. Bush signed a measure aimed at banning most online wagering in the U.S.
Measurements of online traffic by Nielsen/NetRatings show that the number of
unique U.S. visitors to any of 10 Web sites tracked dropped 56 percent from
September. Nielsen/NetRatings said the decrease followed a year of steady
growth - and there still was a growth of 19 percent recorded in October
compared with the same month in 2005.
