Weird email, I will appreciate your opinion.

[The Watchdog]

I take really good care of who I gamble with and who I do business with...

I also take care of my personal inbox and also of the reliable functioning of my computer...

I received an email from Casino King today about some bonus or promotion. For me is weird .. I have never dealt with them so, I am 100% curious of how did they contacted me.

If you could help me.. all I know is that they are a Playtech Casino...

Does somebody know who are they affiliated with?

Any comments on these guys?

Thanks...

I get numerous casino spam emails. I know these are related to casino signups because I use a different email address for my casino mail than I do my personal mail.

Therefore it must be the case that one or more casino groups is either selling your email address, or else their employees are stealing your email address. I think it must be the latter given that no casino would want to sell your address to a rival casino (unless they didn't want your business, I suppose)

I have heard strong evidence that Golden Palace is a particular culprit, tho I have no proof myself. I was told this by a friend who uses a different email address for every single casino he uses (i.e. he would sign up to Golden Palace and give an address of goldenpalace@hisdomain.com)

Don't hold me to this because it's been a while since I've double-checked the owners and such:

Casino King
50stars
Casino Las Vegas
Magic Box
Sky Kings
Swiss Casino

All of these fall under what I have listed as "Intercontinental" for owners. Again, it may be out-dated, but I don't think so.

That's correct.

Yup I think also there's a new one in the offing, Sierra Star, though I don't know jack about it yet.

Hi,
Since I like Playtech BJ I've tried Casino King and made three or four deposits in the 50-100 range.

I managed to cash-out twice (smoothly) , never more than 300 if I recall correctly.
Problem is, I receive DAILY offers for sticky non-cashable 25,50,100% deposit bonuses - and this e-mail spamming is the main reason why I stopped playing with them [too lazy to unsubscribe or cancel my account ].

Occasionally they leave $5-$10 in my account.

Hope this helps.

I would like to know how they got my email or from which casino data base they stole this info.

I don't mind advertisement, however it was weird it appeared in my inbox... It should have gone to the junk mail. This tells me that their email server must be related to a casino I allow emails from...

Dunno, I have spoken well of Casino King in the past and I didn't liked them contacting me out of nowhere.

They sent me an email with the casinos they are affiliated with, I have never opened an account or contacted them. I could be paranoid, but they might have bought some lists or don't know what. I just didn't like it.

For what it's worth, I keep getting spam in the mail with offers for player addresses.

Apparently there are lots and lots of data bases for sale to anyone and everyone.

Not sure if your mail came from the casino itself or a rogue affiliate?

I imagine it has to be casino employees selling these off, many of them live on very low wages.

Besides emails, what else do they offer to sell?
