According to comScore World Metrix ratings for August, the Party Gaming site had 11,252 unique visitors with 49% coming from the US and 5% from the UK. Sportingbet PLC had 3,275 unique visitors with 50% coming from the US and 6% from the UK.
"The bill recently passed by the US congress which aims to curb Internet Gambling will undoubtedly impact the health of the industry," says Bob Ivins, managing director of comScore Europe, in a press release "That these sites depend on the United States for so much of their traffic certainly leaves them vulnerable to significant revenue loss if US banks and credit card firms will no longer process payments to their sites."
