Skybet's revolutionary Sky Poker site (see previous InfoPowa report) has been pulling the crowds in, according to a comment in parent BSkyB's third quarterly report out this week.

Modestly describing Skybet's performance since February as "a good start" the report notes that Skybet operating profit from the sportsbetting and gaming products is up 26 percent over the same period last year, reaching GBP 34 million, and that the venture has attracted over 20 000 customers over the past three months.
