We’ve covered online sportsbetting and online casinos, but there are a few other online gambling treats that fall into the same general category.

• First of all, we can’t ignore online poker. It’s probably the reason why we’re all here in the first place; poker led the surge of interest in online gambling at the end of the 1990s, when Texas Hold’em became the trendiest thing since the Macarena and the Spice Girls. By the time Moneymaker won his online-fueled WSOP tournament in 2003, the ‘net was bursting with online poker rooms…some of which were actually pretty good, and still around today. For putting your skills to the test against real people, you don’t want online slots, you want online poker. Our top picks: Cake Poker, Doyle’s Room, bodog, and Poker Stars.

• Though we’ve covered sports betting quite a bit, we haven’t really mentioned its hairy, smelly twin brother. Racebooks often come right along with sportsbooks, but you’ll notice that most of them operate in a very different way. You see, the horse racing and betting community has a long history and a very unique subculture attached to it, and it probably didn’t seem right to throw it right in there with us football hooligans and such. But if you’re going to bet on the horses, you should definitely do your research (unless you already know more about it than we do, which is very possible — we’re mostly sportsbook and online casino USA fans). See our sportsbook recommendations for the best racebooks as well.

• On the extreme opposite end, online bingo also has a strong culture…but that’s about where the similarities end. Forget pretty much everything you know about bingo, too, because online bingo is a fast-moving community of very social folks. We don’t want to stereotype, but let’s just say that the websites tend to cater to women and women’s tastes. The game revolves around the chat window, where online bingo players use a fun and fast lingo to follow the main game and add to it with minigames and contests of all kinds. The best right now: for most of the world, Bingo.com, Giggle Bingo, and 888 Ladies are the ones to watch, while US players will love Bingo Hall, Bingo Knights, and South Beach Bingo.
