    Question 888.com question

    Well this is my first post at the Meister who I respect and enjoy his feedback on issues.

    I am from Canada and a webmaster who has a question that may or may not upset some people.

    Whats up with 888.com? I have some pretty damaging evidence that their business practices are illegal, immoral,and unethical. Its' no wonder they are one of the biggest online gambling sites

    I am sure the Meister is aware of this already. I would like to do something about it and keep this thread going. Then i will further slow and easy release the information I have collected.

    So whats up with 888.com? Jargon

    Personally, I'd prefer that you give some specific details as to these unethical and illegal practices. Inflammatory comments without any support.

    Thumbs up

    I think it wise for the Meister to view. But anyways there are just some findings to get this ball rolling.

    I have 10,000 links top ranking websites for serps all being redirected to 888.com . I find this highly unsual just scrapers maybe? but i believe there is more too it. I suspect, and this is only circumstantial, that these high ranking sites are being paid by 888.com to have there site redirect.

    Also, my site has also been scraped click the link and whammo it goes straight to 888.com. There is alot more stuff as well.

    I am thinking about taking some sort of action not sure what yet. But I find it interesting and disturbing.

    10,000? I'm confused....google says there's just under 1,500 that link to 888.com?
    Operators: If you don't know what Transparency means, then here you go.....now how about practicing it?

    Transparency, as used in the humanities and in a social context more generally, implies openness, communication, and accountability. It is a metaphorical extension of the meaning a "transparent" object is one that can be seen through. ...

    Jargon - are you involved in the iGAMI action against 888.com?

    If not, you may want to look at the threads on iGAMI's allegations against 888.com over at WOL.

    It's better to just cut to the chase. This forum isn't about feeding people bits of information to keep threads going, it's about solving problems. If you have information that needs to be addressed, please provide this. Please don't make implications that "immoral" or unethical pratices are being made without any substance. Thanks!

    As for the site scraping, I know that it's been going on - but I haven't had the time to clearly focus on this. I would hope that an entity like CAP could hammer these guys on this if in fact that is what is happening.

    It is a known fact regarding the mass site scraping carried out by affiliates of 888.com which CAP is well aware of. The best course of action is to highlight publically in the 888.com forum in CAP any 888 affilliate sites which conduct site scraping. That way 888.com are made aware of them and can then shut the affiliate account down.

    Good post, Webzcas. I'm not into matters affiliate at all but this sounds like a practical course of action rather than merely posting about these allegations.
