Has anyone noticed the annoying amount of casino pop ups when surfing around the net. I notice Party and pkr seem to be the worse - even on porno sites now - (occasionally hit a wrong link and saw them) - shouldn't operators not be allowed to advertise via x -rated sites?
Regards,

This is all down to the fact that these other sites have access to your web habits, and from this data have determined that you are interested in online gambling. It also seems that if you are determined to be interested in online gambling, soft porn and dating sites pick this up and try to cross market their services. It may also work the other way. Obviously, the internet marketing companies have "hard wired" the connection between sex and gambling into their engines.
Much of this is done from cookies on your PC, or information and habits gathered by particular websites.
This can be dealt with by changing settings on the PC, and being careful what information about yourself you give to sites that require you to register.
I have listed "gambling" under "interests" on Facebook, and I get both gambling and "porn" advertising, even though I have never given any information to Facebook that would suggest I am into porn. All they have is "single", so they must have used "gambling interest + single" in order to target me with dating and porn advertising, as well as casino advertising.
Every time you visit an online casino website, it drops a cookie, so you have to clean up frequently in order to stop other websites from finding out.

Maybe you need a pop up blocker? Most browsers have them built in these days. Also x rated sites are notorious for infecting you with something so perhaps your computer needs to be checked for malware.

LMAO @ Chayton..omg almost pee'd myself.
I get the odd popup (also Party casino/poker) from certain non-gambling sites I surf to. And yet I don't do porn sites.
