I don't know about you guys, but my casino spam level is at the highest I've ever seen it.
Most of it goes to my spam folder but geez!

Too bad we can't torture the spammers.

FWIW I get the same deluge that the rest of you are experiencing, sometimes as many a 100 or more per day per email address. My spam filters get about 70% of it but still, it is a PITA.

Don't use the Unsubscribe links in the spam emails.

When you use the unsubscribe link or respond and ask to be removed, they never remove you, all it does is let the spammer know he/she has a 'live' email address, that they can sell to another spammer or just send more spam to.

Never respond in any way to a SPAM and NEVER NEVER click on any links inside a spam email.

I would also suggest that if possible you disable all images in your email. If you can see a spammers images in an email they can 'see' your computer and again they know they have a 'live' address.

My spam originated from signing up through Platinum Play Casino. Im get 3 daily e-mails to various sites. The spam filter catches most of them but I still get discs sent to my home address. This is coming from an affiliate employee

Now this is most interesting. This is what got Fortune Lounge rogued in the past. This looks like they have passed on your CONFIDENTIAL contact details to an affiliate, who is now trying to get you to play at the other casinos in the group. Since the disks go to your POSTAL address, it is Fortune Lounge themselves that are responsible for leaking your details, it is impossible for spammers to somehow guess your postal address as well as generating random Email addresses, which is the "official explanation" you will probably get if you complain.

If you no longer play there, you can directly contact Fortune Lounge and ask to be removed from all their mailing lists. This was part of a deal they offered to resolve the spamming crisis of two years ago, they should have a mechanism in place to ensure that linked affiliates also remove you from mailing databases.

I believe many casinos are in on this, as there are more credible "indicators" for this than the "indicators" casinos say they have that PROVE that groups of accounts are all linked to a "fraud ring".

If casinos really had nothing to do with spam, we would find affiliates having their accounts terminated IMMEDIATELY, it would NOT take several months of constant badgering as it did with Fortune Lounge back then, and more recently, Spin Palace & Grand Monaco.

also, 9 times out of 10, they have programs that use a brute-force attack against email servers, trying each and every character combination until it gets a match, then continues on. That's why you will get spam to an email address that you've never used anywhere else.....

Most email providers have tight blocks against this, but yahoo/gmail/hotmail are prime targets...

[GaryWatson]

Funnily enough it is a yahoo account. I find them pretty good for blocking spam. I dont really care too much about the spam, its easy enough to delete but a bit pissed off that my personal details are being passed on
