If you have opened more than a single account at online
casino sites, it is likely you have already received
some unsolicited spam. If not, it is likely you
will get some sooner or later. As online casinos
are finding more ways to send spam through legal
loopholes, the chances are good that you will be on the
receiving end if you have shared your email address. Instead of getting annoyed and
complaining to yourself, there are steps you can take to
stop spam from happening, which is precisely why
Casinomeister is expanding his web section regarding
online casino spam, and how you can take charge in
fighting back.
Online casino spam has been a problem since, well,
the beginning of online casinos. It is
unfortunate that some gambling sites can not see the
forest from the trees, and so must resort to
unethical ways of attracting players. What is
even more unfortunate is that these tactics are
legal in some cases, but never have a lasting
effect. They actually only end up causing more
trouble than good for the casinos propagating them.
What could be drastically cut down if only more
regulation standards were in place, has seemed to rise with the growing number
of online casino operators and affiliates. The trend these days is that
the email addresses of legitimate account holders are being freely shared with
third-party affiliates and unauthorized marketing partners. Soon after a
player opens an account, they will begin to receive constant emails announcing
promotions - sometimes duplicate emails that are out-of-date to begin with.
In an attempt to police the spam, and keep those
gaming companies who are prone to unethical practices out from not sending spam
themselves, certain websites have been formed to not only investigate spam
sightings, but to warn players from certain online casinos who have been known
to share email addresses and give blatant disregard to their account holder's
privacy. One such site that is focused solely on internet gambling is the
Casino Watchdog, Casino Meister, who is expanding his site to include an even
more comprehensive section about online casino spam.
Not only does the site shine a light on which
casino operators are spamming, it also has a list of guidelines that players can
follow to help put an end to spam. These guidelines include tips on
reporting spam to ISP's, opening a free email account for signing up at a new
online casino, and knowing your rights when it comes to receiving spam.
