WARNING Affiliates Who Target Problem Gamblers

Who said he gets paid RS? Our Ryan is chatting with him and I'm pretty sure there will be a satisfying solution coming.

Also its a public holiday, so majority of the industry is off today.
You stated he had removed L&L from the site but didn't say he had his aff a/c closed. Therefore any residual players before this scam promotion began would still be paid?
 
Even if an affiliate wanted to do that, you don't see that type of information, nor do you have any way of knowing who the customer is.

Thought that would be the way it worked.

So i am taking an educated guess that some affiliates must make a good bit from some problem gamblers. So in a way some affiliates that do everything by the book and care about problem gamblers still actually profit a lot from them. Just makes me think about ethics and morals.

I'm sure they do, but even if you see a large spend, it doesn't mean theres a problem.
I had a customer who signed up around 3 years ago and lost £10k in a month. I actually spoke to the affiliate manager about him as I was concerned it was card fraud or something but he told me the customer had been through enhanced KYC and had also been through a full SOW process (before the casinos were doing it like they are now, so they obviously had concerns too) and that £10k was a drop in the ocean from his bank balance. He still deposits now (usually £500 a time) but once a month or so. I could have looked at him and thought 'problem gambler' but turns out he was just rich lol.
Point is, we have no way of knowing. I wouldn't target problem gamblers and had RG sections and warnings on my sites well before the regulations were tightened up. Theres only so much you can do as an affiliate.
 
Just to jump in real quick - there is a big difference between an affiliate who directly targets problem gamblers and ones that have lists of casinos that lack EU/UK licenses. It is the targeting that is unethical, morally vacant, and dangerous, not just hosting a list.
 
may I asked which which and by whom, guessing I'd know the person from the past

I'm not going to be posting stuff to create personal attacks, even if they are deserving of it. It was merely to further demonstrate that at least one of these people should really know better.
 
fair enough ^. Anyway, as I said yesterday I have just created a blog post on the matter here
You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.
I also have referenced this thread, gamstop and Duncan's Bet Blocker so anyone want to link back to it or share it anywhere feel free, I hope someone finds it useful.

edit - just wanted to say I didn't try and put a keyword rich link in, I placed it bare but the forum seems to have pulled the title?
 
Is now not the time to rogue Con******* Casino @Casinomeister @ThePOGG ?

As others have shown here, they have zero interest in ever adding GAMSTOP even though they are UKGC registered. When I told them my concerns that problem gamblers were signing up there (proof on TGC) they said it was not in their interest too.

Also as this thread as shown, they have active affiliates promoting them on dedicated non-GAMSTOP pages along with dubious advertising practices on Google AdWords.

That's not what happened with me when I spoke with them.
 
going through the conquestador site and checking for gamban or anything like I did see at the bottom a link to gamblingtherapy . org/en
 
Do UK licensed casino need to be part of gamstop or similar? is it mandatory?

It was meant to be, but the UKGC keep extending the deadline. There are only three casinos left that have not signed up.

Con********* have had nearly a year to implement the GAMSTOP check but have failed to do so. Since then its fairly common knowledge and a lot of people have given in to temptation. There are threads even on AG about the lack of SE.

I did check earlier and an account which is linked to GAMSTOP is still accessible so its still not in place.

another one

@L&L-Jan Yako is advertised on the site
@alexCashmio snap

and another

https:// zamsino . com/uk/casinos-not-on-gamstop/

with loads of accredited casinos listed on other pages

Think its a bit disappointing that only a few reps have commented and taken action, especially considering quite a few have read the thread.
 
Was looking through Google AdWords to see which sites have the heaviest traffic on non-gamstop casinos and this bunch of sites alone had 10,000+ traffic in July 2019:

@L&L-Jan You have a lot of work to do on this lot!

Scumbag(s) of the year go to these guys who set-up dedicated web sites for this act:

I spoke to them as well last week whilst going through the final lists of casinos since the new verification rules.

They said "We have no intention of aligning with Gamstop until we have to". Take from that what you will. That said, the reason the UKGC arent insisting on Gamstop at this stage is that they are not happy with its current function and it has had bad press several times. I think only when Gamstop can prove they have fixed the ongoing 'technical problems' that they face regularly that the UKGC would be in a position to make it mandatory.

On the wider thread, this was expected at some stage and the same old casino names pop up that UK players are not legally able to play on but are accepted because these operators are utter scum(Bronze etc).

Good to see some of the operators here taking action and escalating against these scumbag affiliates. This should also be issued to the UKGC imo.
 
Laughable you think any if these casinos truly care. They want deposits not a moral life lesson.

I can guarantee bar 1 or 2 the majority will pretend it never existed.
 
She presumed I was registered with them by asking, and told me if I open an account, it will immediately be closed and will never be re-opened!

They are talking rubbish then. They are definitely not part of Gamstop and wont be until forced to be so. They must be picking up a lot of traffic from excluded players especially with Fruity Slots and some other openly advertising them.
