In recent weeks a new spate of Denial of Service attacks has taken down online gambling sites, most notably Internet poker rooms. But Pay Per Head sites have also been the targets of these distributed attacks during one of the most critical periods of the year.
www.PayPerHead.com, a long time PPH partner of Gambling911.com, has promised its agents they have invested significant money to ensure their infrastructure is not taken down by a dreaded DoS attack.
“We have been ‘hit’ by DDoS … but, we have not been down 1 second,” AJ, Sales Manager for PayPerHead.com tells Gambling911.com.
Payton O’Brien, who heads up the Gambling911.com website and has worked diligently to ensure G911 is at the forefront of covering the Pay Per Head sector, applauded PayPerHead.com for its ability to prepare for such security pitfalls.
“Everyone says that ‘all Pay Per Head providers are the same until they have a bad, or even devastating, experience – for example the service going down for a NCAA Football Playoff Weekend. THAT is when players call agents furious over not being able to place a bet!” O’Brien said.
“THAT is when agents call bookies furious over losing hundreds of thousands of dollars in revenue! THAT is when bookies that switched from a premium provider to a discount provider over $4/head/week lose agents. THAT is when bookies that switched from a premium provider to a discount provider over $4/head/week feel absolutely stupid. And, guess what, they should feel stupid – THEY ARE STUPID!”
Pay Per Head sites are not immune to the “fly-by-night” component that has long been a part of the online gambling world. In a nutshell, you get what you pay for.
www.PayPerHead.com has been serving the bookie and agent community for years now. They were among the first.
“Bookies know that the lifeblood of their business is the agent. Agents know that the lifeblood of their business is the player. And any bookie or agent that is willing to risk the well-being of their bookmaking business over $4/head/week, using a second tier or sub-par provider, should have their head examined,” O’Brien suggested.
As Gambling911.com regularly points out in its Pay Per Head section for both newbie agents and the seasoned professionals, some of whom regularly find themselves getting burnt, the formula for bookmaking success is simple: Hire Best Provider + Find As Many Clients as Possible + Pay Winners On Time = Have A Wonderful Lifestyle! But, it all starts with HIRE BEST PROVIDER!
What makes a pay per head provider a Premium Service Provider? Premium service providers have multiple data centers, multiple bandwidth providers, premium DDoS protection, a large assortment of lines including live sports betting, and never have downtime.
For example, www.PayPerHead.com has data centers in Kahnawake, Panama and Curacao; three bandwidth providers; Never-fail DDoS protection; more line offerings than any other offshore provider, and has not been down in over 5 years. Perhaps that is why www.PayPerHead.com is endorsed by The Soprano’s Johnny Sacks and is the only Pay Per Head provider endorsed by any recognizable figure or celebrity.
“When I hear bookies and agents complaining about ‘their service provider going down’, I have remind myself – I am listening to a stupid person. Any semi-intelligent bookie or agent, with hundreds of thousands of dollars on the line, would have picked a premium Pay Per Head provider from the start and never had any issue in the first place,” PayPerHead.com Sales Manager AJ tells us.
He added: “So, if your bookie, or your agent, goes down – it is time to consider moving to a premium service provider like www.PayPerHead.com. The simple fact is that Pay Per Head Service is NOT A COMMODITY and your choice of service provider does matter – period!”
What is Pay Per Head? The Pay Per Head industry is based on service providers providing data processing and accounting services for bookmakers, agents and players. If you would like more information, call
