I hate to say it, but there's some shady-goings-on in the online gambling
world that are worth reporting. First, allow me to preface my dissertation.
Online casinos get lots of their business - in many cases, the bulk of their
business - from affiliates.
For all of you who don't know anything about
affiliates and what they do, they are essentially webmasters who use their own
websites (online casino portals) to promote one or more online casinos which the
affiliate has a commissioned deal with. In other words, the affiliate gets paid
when he/she successfully refers a player who subsequently opens an account with
an affiliated online casino.
Obviously, this type of relationship could certainly breed a conflict of
interest. And while I'll be the first to say that there are many thical
affiliates in the business (myself included), who make a choice to only promote
those online casinos which are regulated and fair, an truly have something
worthwhile to offer online gamblers, the fact of the matter is that there are
many affiliates who don't know their scruples from their pupils...which brings
me to the point of this article in the first place.
According to Lucky Trump Casino and an unnamed "mailing list" of players, one
such rogue affiliate recently sent out a besiegement of spam, fraudulently using
the Lucky Trump newsletter as a cover. Promoting the not-so-reputable Slots
Alley Casino, which uses the even-less-reputable Casinova Software, the news
isn't that surprising to me. Even less surprising is the lack of action taken
against the affiliate by Slots Alley Casino.
So what then is the point of me telling you all this? Do I really need to
say? Alright, I'm 'gonna say it anyway. Don't spend your time online casino
gambling at Slots Alley Casino.
