I have to disagree somewhat. The INDUSTRY could cooperate and blacklist the details of these affiliates who get caught spamming, making it harder and harder for them to move on to the next affiliate program. They could even ban whole countries (where the "untouchable" servers are), something they are happy to do when it comes to players.
This might create some false positives, but their could be a process where flagged affiliates have to provide extra information to convince the casinos they want to promote them ethically.
This is damaging the industry, and is not just a minor irritation to players. The most obvious damage is that 90% of my legitimate mailers from casinos get incorrectly flagged as spam by my ISP based filters, and this is up from less than 10% a couple of years ago.
It looks like the spammer has now switched to promoting "Play Casino". It looks like Prime, but I have not got conclusive proof (yet).
