Whoever this is, they have stepped up their spamming because of the $1000 free element of the offer.
You certainly will get angry players as often these spams bypass your website and lead to a dummy "spin palace" site where the entire thing is one clickable direct download. It is not just that players don't read the T & C, it is rendered impossible if they click through on the mailer. The players most likely to fall victim are the 60% who don't visit forums, including those who here in the UK connect (mistakenly) these voluminous mailers with the recent liberalisation of the gaming laws which now cater for online poker and casinos.
I find it hard to believe that you cannot simply freeze the affiliate accounts whose tag is connected to these mailers, and then invite them to explain, the lack of payment will get them to open a dialogue & hopefully clean up their act. If these are not affiliates, but mass marketing companies, one has to wonder WHO employed them in the first place!
The Palace Group have been promoted a disproportionate amount of times in recent spams of this nature, although one or two have been for other casinos, mainly Grand Prive and Roxy Palace.
To derive the tag involved (if not clear from the link).
Install casino through spam links, then inspect the top registry key for the casino, the data value "cookie" contains a string relating to the returned tag upon account registration. If downloaded directly this value is "DEFAULT". It appears only to be used at registration, and has no use afte that. Reinstalling casino can wipe this value, but again makes no difference to the original affiliate's return. The new (read "pain in the a***") MG download hinderer with embedded registration may bypass this method of identifying the affiliate tag responsible.
Looking through the headers may not find the original culprit, as on some occasions I seem to get spammed from my own E-mail address!!!!
Here is how one batch of these have been done:-
SOMEONE has a contract with this lot to mass market Spin Palace with the $1000 free banner.
While they have an opt out link, I have to wonder how I first opted in to what they call this "newsletter".
