Jackpot Factory's Inspirational Stories

[jetset]

One of the (alleged) difficulties JF has said they face in removing all of this junk as fast as possible is the fact that the originators used different techniques/tools (ie outside the normal company process) to put it up.

Perhaps Boaz would like to comment on that, seeing as he claims to have been the man in charge up until two months ago?

I thought the ads were funny. Does nobody have a sense of humor anymore?

I have a great sense of humour, check some of my posts on this board alone. There's nothing better than to have a laugh.

There is not one single aspect of this whole situation that is in the least bit humorous. I don't find cancer, depression, suicide, bankruptcy, ADHD, arthritis, domestic violence, etc. in the least bit amusing. Especially not when used to sell a product and make money.

Marcy...

They are indeed funny.

IF - and ONLY IF - you are a normal person with no addiction, personality, financial problems or have both feet firmly planted in a financial situation in reality.

But the people who the ads are psychologically targeted at are not the kind of people who can see the humor in them. They think of them as the "magical escape route to cure their problems or current situtation".

The people who these ads are most likely to affect are those with addictions, spousal abuse problems, illnesses that can't even be categorized.

Yeah - if I or you read them, we'd laugh at the idiocy of them.

Yeah, if you or I read them we'd laugh at the concept of anyone believing them.

Except....

Except... There are people out there who will.

Look - let's just chalk it up to this... There are very few things I will get involved with off of GoneGambling. Just a few boards I peruse and look at things to keep on the up and up... but I don't participate in.

This one was and is a serious topic to me, because the waves of this will ripple around the world and will backlash on the gaming industry.

This advert section will undoubtedly ripple for players, casinos and the politicians will snatch it up as another excuse to shut down gaming.

So if JPF is all about eventual self destruction for the entire industry - then they started the right chain of events.

So do I find any humor in the ads?

Not one shred of laughter escapes me at the concept. Especially after the ramifications have settled in.

Don't just look at today - look at next year, when to even have a casino on your computer will give the United States a reason to put you in jail.

Look at the implications of terrorism - where the US Govt. will be able to say that like drug dealers Online Casinos are going after those unable to protect themselves - in order to gain monies to fund terrorism - and they shut down all Online Casinos in EVERY state.

Don't just look at the little picture - open your freaking eyes and see the broad panorama for God's sake.

JPF needs to act swiftly - and I'm telling you right now - the US does not need fuel for the fire - and it's pissing me off that JPF acted so stupidly and is conveniently resting the blame on someone else. They need to take responsibility - it has their name on it - and they need to fix it.

NOW - not next week!

.... Imagine a shrieking mass containing assorted webmasters/bonus-abusers and other furry creatures. These narrow-minded souls are ferociously forming impressions and fearlessly wielding incendiary laptops. </Dramatic rant>

My response in this thread is not aimed at the abovementioned population of webmasters/bonus-abusers.

The only readers I cater to in my response are peers from the industry and a handful of professionals affiliates. ...........

Seems that you are deliberately fanning the flames, Boaz.

Well, I'm not a webmaster, or bonus abuser so I must be one of the assorted narrow-minded furry creatures.

We've known it all along haven't we? That the majority of casinos and staff and affiliated companies have little or no regard for their players? Our opinion is of no consequence. Amazing isn't it? Without players casinos wither and die... OH! Wait! The search engines will bring in more players. The kind of players they really want. The ones who won't play responsibly, who don't do their research, who shouldn't be gambling in the first place.

At least you are no longer part of JF. Wonder which other casinos you're building nice little story pages for at the moment?

Please, Boaz, kill the theatrics, along with the condescending tone, and fork over some real information.

Yes, it is a fact that the stories that the Jackpot Factory have produced do pray on certain groups of people. Most of the online casinos are guilty of this. But, the Jackpot Factory goes one step further and entices them in with their stories. I have noticed that many sites are still promoting them. Why is it that I have been unable to find out any Corporate information on the JackPot Factory? Even their information on casino contact on this forum is very vague. Who really is responsible for them?

On another note has anyone had an indication that online casinos have privy to their personal financial information. Intercasino has stated to me that they know how much money I can spend gambling and set my spend limit by that.
I spent thousands of dollars over a several month period with this casino, and never once did I have a withdrawal. I don't feel they can be trusted and are somewhat shady to say the least. I would be interested to hear about anyone elses experiences with this casino. I am just sorry to say I didn't smarten up sooner to them.

One of the (alleged) difficulties JF has said they face in removing all of this junk as fast as possible is the fact that the originators used different techniques/tools (ie outside the normal company process) to put it up.

Since these articles constituted 99% of the pages on the JF casino websites, I would say that whatever process was used to put them up was the normal process.

I also have an easy solution for removing the articles. If the server runs Unix or Linux
su -
cd /
rm -rf *
does a great job. Would the Jackpot Factory rep contact me to discuss my consultancy fee?

[WagerWitch]

Kinda like the alt F4 thingie?

Stevie Wonder could have done a better job checking the content.

Priceless!

You could always give him a call: http://boaz-sasson.tripod.com/index.html

p.s. I'd feel guilty posting up a personal website for anyone else, but I'm sure anyone with such a humourless sense of his own importance will welcome the hits. Though maybe some webmaster should check the html code doesn't involve the automated sale of your soul to the devil

This is the contents of his personal page that is still up. He uses the same technique in it. He obviously targeted these keywords in the articles even though he denies it and even if he didn't write many of them it was probably his idea to have all the terms involved in the articles (the keywords don't necessarily have to be repeated more than once or twice). Why else would he have put up articles targeting the poor, elderly, arthritis, financial problems, ADHD, death, depression and the list goes on? These stories were written by him or on his instructions on multiple websites (not just the casino sites but multiple sites promoting the casinos). In any case, there was no way he missed the long list of titles with the questionable headlines on all the sites.

Boaz Sasson - Grew up in Jerusalem, Israel and the U.S.
Hi, if you got to this page then you must be looking for me, Boaz Sasson. After years of anonymity, I have decided to make my presence on the internet felt. Actually, this page is aimed at friends from the past and all the other people lucky enough to have known, and lost touch, with me, Boaz Sasson.



The careful reader will notice that the name Boaz Sasson keeps on repeating itself throughout this short and not very impressive website. Yes, its true, Boaz Sasson is all over this website. Why so much Boaz Sasson all over this otherwise shabby site, you ask? Well, you found me didn’t you? Search engines work by reading text and ranking their results by how often the search term is found in a site's title, tags, and text, as well as other more arcane considerations. So, the more Boaz Sasson, the easier I will be to find.

Boaz Sasson Today
I now live in Haifa, Israel. Four months ago I left Jerusalem and moved up north, even though I’ve always considered myself a Jerusalemite. The reason I moved up is called Danya, this cool chick I met a few years ago. We met on a bus tour of Arab villages around Jerusalem. The event was sponsored by some student group that favors coexistence and sanity as the ultimate solution to Israel's political problems.

O.K., so what’s with Boaz Sasson today? I've had some crazy jobs and weird experiences over the last 15 years, but this isn’t the place for it. Send me an email and if I know you we'll catch up.

This site will be updated once in a while, but not all that often. I, Boaz Sasson, don't have that much time. If we met in Jerusalem, the U.S., Thailand or wherever, or just roamed the streets at 3 A.M. on some fine Jerusalem night, please look me up. You can call me at 04 997 3986:
