Online Gambling Site Aims to Make Charities the Winners

A new website created by the co-author of "Freakonomics" allows donors to combine support for their favorite charities with online gambling. For a small fee (say, $1 or $5), Spin for Good allows people to enter online slots or blackjack tournaments. The winner’s take then goes to a charity the player chooses from a list of more than two dozen organizations that have struck partnerships with the site. (Participation for nonprofits is free.)
