100 millionth bet taken by Sportsbook.com.

A sports enthusiast from Texas had no idea that when he placed his wager last week, he had not only made a successful bet, but had also made history as Sportsbook.com's 100 millionth wager, a first in US online gaming.

'We're taking an average of about 8.3 bets per second,' said Alex Czajkowski, Marketing Director, Sportsbook.com. 'No one else is even close to that volume, on any metric. This is a tremendous milestone.'

'First, it underscores Sportsbook.com's position as the definitive leading gaming brand and a massively successful, profitable pure-play online business,' Czajkowski said. 'Second, and equally important, this achievement validates the online gaming industry in general. The demand is there: America has voted, and bet, with its mouse.'

'Sportsbook.com continues to relentlessly grow and expand in the US marketplace by offering our customers a trusted, reliable platform and service organization that gives them the chance to be part of the action,' Czajkowski added. 'In the run-up to this year's Super Bowl, which is anticipated to be the most bet on event in US sporting history, our customers continue to enjoy the industry's largest selection of betting options. You want to bet on it, you can come to Sportsbook.com to find it.'
