Unless your casino's software provider is one of the ones involved with QT, using QT is NOT an option.

Rome has targeted the US market and I would be willing to bet the vast majority of their customers are US residents. So the cost inside the US market effects them a great deal, I'm sure.

I would expect that Rome is extremely concerned with slow payouts and high cost of transactions inside the US and that they are working very hard to reduce both.

I don't currently promote Rome.

I think that was his whole point when he mentioned QT.

QT IS an option at Rome. I know, because I used it to make a deposit at Rome myself. So his question is a valid one.

Hello Gang,

I just got this in junk folder today from Support@Romecasino. I was wondering how they got my email. It says my account has been credited. I do not have an account that I know of. I do not recall ever going there. I do not recognize the games in the logo pic. It says I am currently subscribed to Global. Who/What/When?

So of course I call them just now prior to hitting submit on this post and they looked up my name and NOPE, I do not have an account with them but I AM eligible to open one.

Romecasinos.com leads to a parked domain landing page......

Could you paste the email headers? I'm not entirely sure that it's from Rome Casino....

It's from Rome Casino, the email link in Cyn's post above says romescasinos.com with the "s"...I almost missed that too... http://www.romescasinos.com

Funny enough I got the same email today - and came here to check them out because I had never heard of them and was mystified because I am apparently signed up and ready to go. Huh?? Am wondering where they (and Vegas Slots) got my email addy as I really only play at one casino. Its bad enough I get snail mail discs from various and assundry casinos trolling for my money.

The email came in as Romes Casino - I did a google and coudn't find the Romes Casino but did find Rome Casino.

I guess I am a bit weirded out by casinos signing me up ahead of time, and I really would like to know where did you get enough information to sign me up, and where in the heck did you get my email addy?

I got the same email from romescasinos.com a few days ago.

Today I got another, but it was inviting me to play at onlinecasino.com, which it says is a Playtech casino (not open to US players). The email title is "Welcome to the Crown Jewels VIP Program".

I suspect this is just an affiliate with an email list. But the fact they got such a similar domain name to Rome Casino and the first email was regarding Rome Casino is rather suspicious.

These sound like typical affiliate spam. Get loads of these all the time. The clues are normally in the domain names or the links out. Ditch 'em. But pretty sure these aren't from Rome.

However....... Rome Casino BENEFITS from this, as they gain a few players from this affiliate. What this affiliate is doing is VERY misleading though, they are pretending to be the casino itself, rather than an affiliate. I have had a few of these, and they address me BY NAME, which makes it look far more like the casino actually KNOW me, and are offering me a personal invite.

Perhaps they are having problems recruiting players, but spam is not the answer, dragging themselves into to 21st Century would be more effective - currently, they are not at all appealing, whatever they offer. They have "stone age" slots, pay only once a week, and have an "unknown" software in that there are loads of promises for a proper corporate website, but no sign of anything happening.

Using spam is only going to make things worse for them, as recipients of the spam will both ignore it, AND publically "bitch & moan" about it, in an effort to get something done about it.

It is common felt that only publicity gets a business to wake up to inadequacies. I have watched pretty much all the consumer watchdog TV programmes here, and one common thread has been that the cases featured have had the victim spend months writing letters, contacting by phone, only to get absolutely nowhere. As soon as the TV researchers contact the company though, the issues can be resolved overnight, and are explained away as "simple matters". The inference is that individual complainants are usually fobbed off, and it is only when the risk of bad publicity appears on the horizon that someone with a degree of authority and wit gets involved, and declares the problem a simple matter, and offers bland apology.

In the case of casino spam, the spammers are just given "a good talking to", which pretty much amounts to an admonishment for getting caught, they rarely suffer any real sanction, so are not deterred, since the rewards considerably outweigh the risk. Even when affiliate accounts ARE shut down, they still get paid, and systems to prevent them from simply opening another affiliate account seem primitive compared to systems in place to prevent players from opening another account after being banned, or taking a new player bonus.

VWM - I can tell your not an affiliate.
The low life spamming affiliates are in great demand by many different casinos, especially by some of the bigger names (that no longer take Americans).

The low life scumbag casino affiliate that gets "caught" spamming by most online casinos does not get a punitive "talking too", they get a bonus and more work offered and in most cases a higher percentage of the profits... If you get "caught" it just means your SPAM is getting the attention and eyeballs it (and your customers - the online casinos) are seeking...

In other words, instead of being afraid of have their affiliate spam discovered and complained about, most in the 'know' spamming affiliates want someone to make a post complaining about their spam... Some even do the public posting and complaining themselves...
