This looks like a case of a "false positive". While casinos have never bothered to explain exactly what is being detected, it might have something to do with the way promotions are presented to players in the casino lobby.
At Inetbet, a scroller message reminds me it's "Tempting Tuesday" if I log in on a Tuesday, and this has to be "Adware", but not "ROGUE adware".

These adware products cater to the non-gambling majority, who see online casinos as annoying spammers, along with the drive-by ActiveX download malware they have used in the past to plant their early products onto unsuspecting users. I indeed became aware of online casinos after finding such drive-by downloads on my desktop, and I then regarded the industry as nothing but a bunch of crooks, akin to those that Phish and planted "rogue diallers" when dial-up internet was the norm. One of these diallers cost me £240 over 3 days, and it was my 9 year old NEPHEW that was exposed to the porn it peddled (not that I believe he was as "innocent" as he made out - 9 year olds can be pretty curious when they are into computer games, role-playing, and Anime).

Yea Petey, my "Windows Defender" popped up last night and said the same thing, so I had it remove the S**t, first time this has ever happened...

I use Windows Defender also and the alert popped up when it scanned this morning. However, after checking it out, I saw that it wasn't a trojan, etc. Also, ran SpyBot when cleaning up my computer today and it totally ignores the Casino Client. I think Vinyl is correct in guessing it's just a false positive and nothing to worry about.

You can imagine my shock when I got a new warning from Windows Defender... for inetBet.

I just put it on ignore.

Hi Guys,

I can assure you that there are no viruses or adware in the software. As vinyl says it is probably a false positive. It may be the scroller that is doing this however it is more likely the facility that remembers your username when you log into the lobby.
I.e. when you log in your username will already be populated so you just have to enter your password. This is the most likely cause for the warning by your adware software.
There were actually some threads about this some time back:

Hope this info is of some help

like i said it did say low risk but how weird that three of us all got the exact warning at the exact times about the exact same place and places,nah mean i'm not gonna uninstall them but i will be monitoring much closer

I got it too, this morning.
Only from club world though since I no longer have Inet installed on my computer.

I don't believe any of the casinos are at fault. It's just that Windows Defender's database probably got updated recently and somehow some component in the RTG software got flagged.

As iNetBet Promos has pointed out, there are other threads which may explain what happened - this type of thing happens with other software packages as well.

And just for the record, iNetBet happens to be the only RTG installed on this particular computer - I would be willing to bet that if there had been any other RTG-powered casinos installed, they would've been flagged too.

Nothing to worry about. That's why I told Windows Defender to ignore the problem.

well... now I'm worried. Windows Defender has NOT alerted me about INetBet.
