First Company To Accept An Internet Bet Reaches Another Milestone
St. John’s, Antigua (January 17, 2002)—Confirming its position as a leader of the online gaming industry, Intertops.com today announced the company expects to receive its 20 millionth online wager this week. Launched in January 1996, Intertops.com was the first company to accept a bet over the Internet and now has over 500,000 registered customers in over 180 countries worldwide.
By reaching the 20 million bet mark in the company’s first six years of existence, Intertops.com has averaged nearly one bet every 10 seconds since its inception and received five million wagers in the last year alone. The Web site receives over 18 million hits and 120,000 unique visitors per week.
“When we brought gaming onto the Internet in 1996, we never imagined that we would accept 20 million online wagers in only six years of operation,” said Simon Noble, CEO and co-founder of Intertops.com. “The extraordinary growth of the Internet has propelled the industry we helped found into a multi-billion dollar business and one of the fastest growing forms of consumer entertainment on the Web.”
Offering over 200 betting options daily, Intertops.com accepts wagers on all major international sporting events, unique pop culture “happenings”, and a wide variety of casino games.

To celebrate reaching this milestone, Intertops.com will be giving away cash prizes to the customers that place certain numbered bets on the way to 20 million.

20 million guinea francs is about 10 grand...but to even find somebody willing to convert that currency, they will probably take a really hefty cut. So your 20 million guinea francs will probably be about 6 grand when all is said and done.
