Letter to ECogra
This is the letter I just sent to ECogra. We are individually only one person, but together maybe we have a voice. ECogra NEEDS to address this issue ASAP!! And everyone here who agrees on that, needs to let them know. JMO.

Hello,

I am writing to you in reference to the latest marketing tactics being employed by the Jackpot Factory group of casinos, who bear the ECogra seal of approval.

I am sure by now that you have been made aware of this issue currently being discussed at Casinomeister. I have long been a supporter of and player at a couple of the Jackpot Factory casinos. I considered them to be one of the best and most upstanding and trustworthy groups out there. My attitude has now changed drastically. The marketing tactics that they have employed to garner search engine hits are reprehensible. They have directly targeted:

The poor
The elderly
People with arthritis
People with serious financial problems
People with ADHD
People suffering the death of a loved one
People in a state of chronic depression

These are only a few. This is nothing short of predatory. They are preying on the weak, and most especially, the weak of mind. Strong, decisive action needs to be taken, and taken quickly. The message that this sends out to the online gaming community is pure sleaze. I am at a loss for words to even express my disgust.

What you as one of their governing agencies decide to do in this matter, will speak volumes for your own credibility. You say you stand behind responsible gaming, and that all casinos carrying your Seal, do the same. This is the most irresponsible act I have ever seen in four years.

You need to take action quickly, and issue a public statement as well, letting the community know where you stand on this. You need to ensure that this never happens again. If you have to make an example of Jackpot Factory to get this message across, so be it.

The online gaming community is watching and waiting to see where you stand on this.

Kind Regards,

Lisa xxxxx
