888 / Casino On Net Condoning Site Scraping & Copyright Theft?

**jargon** · 28th April 2006, 05:04 PM

The SE's might look favorable upon on active approach to clean up this mess on our own. Perhaps more can be done a couple of good article submissions, "Honest webmasters Cleaning up the Online Gambling Industry". I am sure this would be productive.

It would save the SE's the bother and perhaps they just might jump on board? Also contacting other webmasters that still support their brand and informing them of these recent develpoments.

For cross link exchanges have a statement "will not exchange links if you support 888.com"

Lots can be done. But foremost I believe in cooperation for the common good for all concern.

BTW I had mentioned this problem back in December 2005 when I joined this forum. It has takin a long time. I am pleased its' finally taking hold.

They have a right to do this, but where is criticism, etc, etc

The mounds of player disatisfaction is quite evident. I have a library of it here is a few grabbed from Alexa. Anything in regards to 888.com I have.

Fixed. Lulled into false sense of security via free play and then u pay up and dealers score 21, or 20 near enough every time. Basic strategy blackjack determines when a dealers face up card is low ie -5 the dealer is more than likely to bust. On 888.com, this rarely happens, just a bit of proof. Check it out, i think its a fixing site. How else can they offer 100% bonus on sign up?!

Worst Site - FIXED,
This is worse site for online gambler. I recommend not to try this site at all. They allure you first few times and once you hit a number, you will never win no matter how much you try. I tried hundreds of times.
Other clever thing they do, when you play in public areas and you are a high roller, they kick you out of public area and set your table as private table automatically.
I know online gambling is a bad news, but this casino is a WORSE NEWS. Try others, who at least pays from time to time. NOT THIS ONE. SUCKER

I completely disagree. I may not particulary care for their casino, such as the fact you have to exchange your currency into dollars using their own exchange rates to play. Or indeed the fact it takes a full week to cash out your winnings, regardless of whether you are a high or low roller.

However I can state Categorically that 888 casino is not fixed and is perfectly legit. Remember it is also subjected to independent audits.

I imagine the people that posted those reviews on alexa, were bitter losers. They would have been better off visiting gamcare rather than alexa IMO.

If we all link to each other we will top the search engines. This will put some pressure on 888 to cease and desist from paying people to steal and spam (not to mention that it will help sites getting better SERPS).

Lets look forward and stop this destructive and illegal practice!

I applaud this idea.

I'm willing to add a page how do I get hooked up?

I threw that out there for amusement if you want player complaints about getting 888.com of there computer I can post them as well. Nothing like scumware and malware complaints from players.

**dominique** · 28th April 2006, 06:47 PM

Now that is definitely something I have heard a lot of.

888 has been using malware for years, and have had many complaints over time.

Not so many lately, popup blockers supress the most annoying ones (although they allow the crap to continue to reside on your computer, slowing it down), and spyware removers help a lot.
