Hi Amandajm,

If it smells like spam? Well....

Giving bonuses to players to merely vote for them is buying votes and there should be some other incentives. The problem is that this is an extremely competitive market, and casino operators may feel perturbed in seeing their competitors doing so, thus causing them to take the quick way out and do the same. This is not spam, it's just buying a vote.

What's worse? Well they are both deceptive. It's one thing to say, "hey, put a good word in for us and we'll plug $10 into your account," to come across as some superficial "If you havent played here yet then get going!!" crap that any vistor in a forum can see right through.

Spam is something we must all live with. This is why there is a section specifically for promotional material in this forum. This gives casino operators to post their ads without coming across as a "gee this is great" transparent post.

Judging by your answer,the Goldenballs promo really only became spam when someone posted it in the wrong section of this and other forums(which just had to happen).


Therefore the whole promo is spam because it was destined to be posted incorrectly and then reach unwanted eyes?

Could that not be said for any type of advertising campaign?However hard the advertiser tries to single out a market,someone somewhere is not going to want to see it or hear it...Would you not agree?

If so,then this thread is a bit unfair to Goldenballs(in my humble opinion),not withstanding the fact that the software is poo and it was thier own dodgy promo that was the start of it...

Apparently Goldenballs pay if you win i hear,which is helpful in this industry and nion original it seems..

Thankyou for letting me pick your brains again..

I see this sort of thing as an intrusion on the real forum, which is the place most used by regular posters in their exchanges with one another. The seasoned spammers know that damned well, and they also know (or should do their homework and find out) that the better MBs have a specific session where members go to get information on promos when they want it.

That section is where the spammers should place their material and not clutter up the forum proper with intrusive and uninvited information of a commercial nature.

Unfortunately the sort of promo GoldenBalls and some others have initiated which led to this thread will attract "amateur" spammers and they wallpaper every message board in sight with scant respect for regular members. I agree with the 'Meister that that could well bite them in the ass with the target market they are irritating with this sort of unrepentant, false BS.

It doesn't say much for the casino/s indulging in this practice or their so-called marketing managers.

I have to agree with your stance Jetset.

I shall not be playing there,so the proof is in the pudding.
