Online lotto games, some popups won't display...why?

Question

My dad enjoys playing online lotto games, and some of them give extra picks after viewing an ad...problem is, on some games the ad won't display, so he can't get the extra picks. The one he had problems with last night was called Moneyballs. How do I get these popup ads to display, if I don't know what URL to allow? Is it a Java thing? Ideas? Thanks...

Answer 1

Popup blockers usually display a message when they deny a popup from opening. It's then a case of 'allowing' the site to display popups from the popup blocker. What software are you using?

Answer 2

it is the security level of your cookies. In order for the pop ups to work you have to allow the internet to put a file on your computer. This is not a good idea as it makes it easy for someone to plant a virus. Unless you absolutely need the pop up to come up disable cookies for security.

You might want to update your windows if it has been more than 90 days.

There is a current school or ethics that allows corporations to collect your information using these cookies, as long as they don't sell it. There are no laws on the books against it.

Have you got a pop-up blocker. If so, just either disable it temporarily or add it to your allow list.

If you dont have a pop-up blocker, Internet Explorer has a build in one(thats if you are using Explorer). So go to the tab "Tools" and click on highlight pop-up blocker and click "Turn off pop-up blocker" and there you go.

If thoughs to options above dont work, i dont know what will.
