    If this is the attitude that 888 has we have reason to be concerned. By condoning criminal acts like content theft they are making things look very grim for the online gambling industry. We really need to make an example of 888 so we can ensure that no other casino try to do the same. With the US HR4777 issue this is all we need to get stumped on. I am ashamed of 888's stupidity, I expected more from such a gracefull giant, soon to be dwarf.

    I am so shocked that I am speechless, and you all know that's got to be a first.

    I have been trying to get as many sites as possible to rogue 888 and link to each other to get it into the search engines and let everyone know.

    The engines have just started to pick up on it.

    Investors will find this unpleasant.

    http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=888...=20&fl=0&x=wrt

    http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=cas...=20&fl=0&x=wrt

    http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=cas...=20&fl=0&x=wrt

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...no&btnG=Search

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&r...listed&spell=1

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...ed&btnG=Search

    http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&l...ue&btnG=Search


    My offer stands. I will link back to any site that devotes a page to rogueing 888.

    You will all be more effective if you all link to each other also.

    888 was the worst supporter of thiefware or spyware, whatever you want to call it, and now they are polluting the search engines with tens of thousands of illegal sites advertising themselves to people who are looking for all kinds of things, not necessarily casinos.

    I bet their investors would be very interested in such unethical behavior. As would the news papers as 888 is a publicly traded company.

    Thanks for your support Bryan. As always, you rock!

    Three Cheers to CAP for decertifying 888.com, sending out a message to all casino marketers that unethical practices will not be tolerated in that community.

    Hats off, also, to all the affiliates who stuck their necks out publicly to help get things started and kept the fire going. Most notable: Greek39 at the CAP community who spent weeks focusing on finding evidence, following trails, and was the first to pipe up way back on October 12, 2005.

    I believe some press releases are in order?

    Let's keep fighting the good fight!

    Indeed a long fight but well worth it I to applaud everybody for being so proactive on this pressing issue. Cap has done the right thing I am truly greatful. The meister has done the right thing, we have all came together for the common good. I congradulate everybody!! who took part. This all started quite some ago with one post I made in regards to 888.com. For now keep pushing and if all else fails I will do something I haven't done in years, another month I will be in that positon.

    888.com is fried, greek39

    this kind of industry self regulation is great. if this were the online adult industry, this thread would instantly prompt 1000 imitating webmasters and dozens of different affiliate programs fighting to buy the shonky traffic.

    Ah trust me, this industry still has more than it's fair share of those MD! Sometimes I despair at what I see affiliates and online businesses saying and doing.

    Places like CM and WOL have moved the industry in the right direction for sure, but one of the bad things about the Internet unfortunately is that while it provides a platform for the small individual to be entrepreneurial, it doesn't necessarily teach them common-sense. That is borne out of experience and communion.

    This is another area that places like Meister can be of assistance. Being able to share information and see how others conduct themselves can provide valuable experience in itself.

    Cheers

    Hello everyone,

    I noticed that it has been over a month, since anyone posted in this thread and there has been a lot going on with this 888.con issue, so I thought this would be a good time to make my first post here.

    As some of you know I have been actively posting over at CAP on this issue. I don’t want to see this 888 issue fade away, if it fades away 888 wins and the online casino business (and most of us) loses.

    I would like to point out to everyone that Dominique’s strategy of linking together 888 Rogue pages is working, just search for 888.con on google.

    If you’re an affiliate and you don’t have an 888 Rogue page up yet, please put one up as soon as you can, its for your own good.

    More evidence that working together we can win:
    888.con stock has been dropping very very fast in the London Stock Exchange for the last three days. As I write this, I believe their stock has currently lost somewhere in the neighborhood of 12% or 13% of its total value in the last three days, that’s a lot of money to lose, tens of millions of Pounds Sterling, I didn’t even bother to do the conversion to USD.

    You can tell that 888 is getting desperate, they have resorted to attempting to ‘Attack’ or ‘google-bowl’ affiliate sites that have blacklisted/Rogued them.

    888s ‘attacks’ have apparently worked on at least one of the smaller/newer sites (see the CAP 888 thread), most of the larger/older sites are somewhat immune to ‘attacks’ like the ones 888 is launching, but I believe that over time these type of ‘attacks’ will even erode the larger portals Trust Factor and rankings/traffic from google.

    I believe that 888 launching targeted ‘attacks’ against those that have blacklisted them, moves this confrontation (for lack of a better word) to a new level. I hope you all agree with me.

    I don’t think anyone in this business can now sit on the fence over this issue. If this ‘attack’ works or 888 is allowed to profit from it, all of us better find real day jobs... I hear they need dealers in Jackpot NV...

    Thanks for letting me post.

    I could be wrong here but I thought the assumption being made was that it was the main benefactor of the 888 affiliate program that had instigated the attacks, and that 888 have not yet publically addressed the issue?
