Well, I posted about Gambling Federation. People didn't listen, carried on downloading and playing and now they're having their computers screwed with. LOL. You think cheats only cheat with software?

Like I always say: why bother to post anything? People never listen, carry on playing...then post complaints. LOL.

Hopeless.

When you were giving G. Fed 'some pain' a while ago didn't you suspect them of launching a technical attack on your e-mail address?

Perhaps Kitty might like to comment on that whilst she is grovelling over this issue!

Well done jmildstone for your detective work here, looks like you have exposed a real rogue operator.

There's poetic justice here somewhere - a crook is crooked.

Casino Meister and fellow posters,

First off, please allow us to extend our apologies for this major issue. We owe all of you an explanation regarding this.

A few months ago, we received several spam complaints from our players being sent by the domains you found in your host file. At first we tried to calm our players down, stating that we had nothing to do with these properties and were not responsible for their actions. However, the issue repeated itself several times within a short time span, causing us a mass influx of complaints.

We decided, albeit foolishly, to resolve this issue by blocking the domains which cause our players grief through the software. We did not intend to ever block any one else, nor impair revenues for affiliates. We now realize that this was not the right way to go about this problem. We will be issuing a fix for this very shortly and we will correct this problem within 24 hours.

We sincerely apologize,
Talia

This has to be one of the more shocking online casino stunts I've seen and exhibits an almost complete disregard for players and their privacy in inserting covert malware into a general and indiscriminate download.

And that doesn't even address the fact that it unethically and unfairly attacks competitive sites (regardless of their reputation.)

I expect this will have serious repercussions for the GF company and its leadership, not just in a business and maybe litigative sense but in respect of its membership of trade associations like the IGC and iGGBA too - it is inconceivable that those bodies will let this go unremarked.

It would also seem that GF management has underestimated the ability of members of the online gambling community to see through BS when it is being dished up, even with an apology. *Anti-spam measure* just doesn't cut it.

I don't see this astonishing incident just ending here, nor should it.

Your apologize is noticed, but it's not accepted.

I don’t know if Gambling Federation use rigged software. But I know there is only one solution to that kind of activity that has been exposed here. The entire gambling community must boycott Gambling Federation and send them out of business the hard way.

Every potential rogue operators must know that the gambling community doesn’t know the word mercy or forgiveness if an operator crosses the line.

Bye Gambling Federation.

Wow. And I thought the magical change of your WR every time I went to withdraw was bad enough.


Just booted up your software to fix this incredible attempt.

BTW Dutch, how about answering the question Bryan asked you days ago and you are conveniently avoiding but posting like a mad person here.

I'd hate to be the PR manager for Gambling Federation right now !

Installing malicious programs within an online casino download is inexcusable. The net is a vicious place at the best of times but you wouldnt expect to get sh$t installed on your PC from a bloody online casino that you are gonna donate to anyway. They should be shut down full stop and never forgiven. They must have realised that they would be discovered doing this and went ahead anyway due to plain, ugly GREED.
