WARNING Affiliates Who Target Problem Gamblers

[Kroffe]

I have no issues at all with identify fraud. On Tinder I am a 21 year old multi Millionaire called Dirk Diggler with a yatch, a maserati and personal attributes which would put a horse to shame

I just went with Kroffe when i created my Tinder account.
No wonder its hard getting matches when competing vs people like you!

I need to rewatch Boogie nights.

thanks for the screenshots

And Reddit - believe it or not, they've appeared on the useless shillcentric TrustPilot site too. No shit.

Heres one advertising rogues and some reputable names. Screenshots below from Live section from menu.

No screenshots of the rogue section for obvious reasons.

This is a new low. Encouraging identity fraud amongst other things.

For giggles on this one. When someone with a law degree creates a site encouraging identity theft/fraud.

Excert removes name but is announced as an author on the site. Wording on sections from OP, the title has changed but didn’t change the content of the message which still encourages use of partners details.

Thought you were vetting your affiliates now?
This is acceptable from a responsible gambling point of view by you both?

if you want to win big, you have to bet more. Instead of betting four $1, bet $4 in one game as it will give you better results, which will be a rationally perfect decision.

Thats forgetting about the non gamstop section.

 

[ritae]

There should only be one outcome for those that mix shady sites with accredited sites. Close their affiliate accounts and make sure they don't make a penny going forward.

Encouraging fraud and placing bigger bets to win more. Crikey.

Mmm low life bottom feeders, they should be held accountable for their deceit and fined heavily for this.

Hi @arw5533 ,

Thanks for bringing this to our attention. The affiliate is not working with us, they are direct links to our site and not affiliate tracking links so we can't remove them our end and of course this affiliate would not be approved by our compliance department. We will contact them and ask them to remove our brands as it is not acceptable.

Regards,

Jack.

Morning @colinsunderland,

We are vetting affiliates, as stated the links are direct links to our site, not affiliate links. Of course, no, it is not acceptable from a responsible gambling point of view.

As said above to the OP we we will contact the affiliate and ask them to remove our brands.

Jack

Yes people - I have come up against this issue numerous times in some work I am carrying out presently. These fraudulent scam casino affiliate sites are often placing images of legit sites, with no affiliate agreement, in order to provide a veneer of respectability to the numerous criminal casinos they DO get paid for. It's all part of the scam.

Great work Jack. A lot of these sites exist as @dunover has pointed out to lure in people on the front of looking credible.

Thanks for your time

Just bumping this up since this is another topic I am covering in the 2020 awards (to be announced more than likely Tuesday 2 February) . This whole thread is frustrating knowing that these folks are fully aware of what they are doing, and not one regulator or main stream news service even addresses this. Prove me wrong.

I think it's disgusting that accredited casinos advertise on these sites and don't do anything about it. They all use compliance tools now, and check affiliate sites regularly, yet that casino . xyz site is still live, still showing non gamstop casinos with loads of UKGC licensed casinos still advertising, including @Team.Videoslots in the top position.

If any site is using non-GAMSTOP keywords their 'legit' accounts should be closed. The only exception is when it's a compliant affiliate site ONLY promoting licensed casinos, but which has a page or article WARNING about the type of casinos you see on these non-GAMSTOP rogue affiliate sites.

ANY affiliate promoting scam, fraudulent and criminal casinos should NOT be someone a legitimate, compliant affiliate programme has a relationship with. It's fucking simple, it really is.

I think this site falls into that category

Casinos not on Gamstop​

Here, we list casinos that are not on Gamstop. Gamstop is a self-exclusion service that let’s you block yourself from all UK licensed casinos. However, when on gamstop, you can still play at casinos outside of the UK, that are not licensed by the UKGC. This can be good if you have self excluded by mistake. Another reason to play at non Gamstop casinos is that they often offer better bonuses for players, as they are not regulated. At scum.xyz, you’ll find a list of recommended casinos not on Gamstop, with their current bonuses and sign up offers. We would like to encourage you to always play responsibly, and avoid playing at these casinos if you are having trouble doing so.

Yes, I've seen that site numerous times in my research role. Should have all their licensed aff. accounts shut. Saves them legacy payments, I cannot see why they don't.

 

[Slottery]

Wonder how huge amount of people just register to Gamstop by accident, it's not really one click mistake to get registered there but this statement for reasons people might need casinos outside of Gamstop has really found it place to some sites.

Certain sites have begun trying to look responsible while showing non gamstop links:
"This website is made for informational use only. We ask you always to gamble responsibly. If you have any history of compulsive gambling or believe you could suffer from problem gambling, this list should be used as a list for manual self-exclusion from the websites which are not on Gamstop."

Of course when you chuck a few bonus offers and links to those sites underneath...its clearly to help self exclude manually

Bingo. The bottom line is that there is no need for this information. It's a ruse - a faux disclaimer - of course they want you to click those links with these bonus offers. Bottom feeding scum suckers.

 

[dunover]

You'll also find that as well as generic cloned casinos, many of those scam affiliate sites use the same site construct, invariably with a gimped photo at the bottom to add 'credibility' to the pages 'Professor Donkey Bollocks' (the gambling and casino expert!) has made for you.

 

[The Dude]

What about "Infinity Media Group LTD" - how are they connected to all of this? Or are they?

They own some of the dodgy casinos don't they? Aussie Play and Red Dog I seem to remember being 2 of them?

Could I ask, could it not be part of the accreditation rules that casinos don't advertise on these site?
I don't mean kick them off immediately if they are found on one, but if it's brought to their attention and they aren't removed or show you proof the affiliate account is closed if the site doesn't remove them, then remove them from the list?
The sites only survive by advertising revenue, if a large chunk of that is removed, then some might go away.

Well - I can discourage it that is for sure. But like Dunover has found - some of these shit sites list them anyway to try to seem legit.

In the weeks ahead we will be reorganizing the reveiws to include the Accredited section, but that remains to be seen and will be another thread I am sure.

Well yes, but if they are still listed with affiliate tags, and the affiliate accounts are generating income then that, to me, is just encouraging the sites.
I tagged loads of reps on the previous page, only one who has replied is Jan, a lot of the others have read the thread, no reply and still listed. I get it might take more than a few days to get removed or close accounts, but surely if they were going to do that they would reply.
What I would say is, I think advertising on sites that have guides how to get round self exclusion, such as non gamstop pages, is against the CAP code, and if casinos won't remove themselves voluntarily, then I'm happy to put it to the test. I think sites like that are abhorrent, and any casino happily advertising on them should be hauled over the coals.

Unlicensed, taking UK players, RTG lot.

A week later, and 2 months after the site was first highlighted on the thread, only one rep replied, and every single one is still advertising on there.
Well done guys, at least people know how much you respect responsible gambling.

 

[colinsunderland]

ok so it looks like a few affiliate tags have been removed now, however still quite a few active, so consider yourselves reported to the IGRG/BAGC under the social responsibility in advertising section, as in my view you are targeting vulnerable people by advertising on a site promoting ways to get around Gamstop registration. Good luck trying to explain that away when you were all alerted before now and took no action.

This one too: davedealer .com/casinos/non-gamstop-casinos

I quoted the one above in the other forum, where in their footer they had, had a message ""We highly recommend to follow our 18+ “responsible gambling” advice and contact gamcare/gamstop in case if you are an addicted gambler (links placed below)."

which is the paradox, because if you are on that page you have already contacted GamStop and you are already on their list.

That guy's goal is to have all the Nongamstop keywords on the page. I don't matter if the article contradicts itself.
His site has only 8 pages on Google but ranks already well for all these shite keywords, due to the small competition.

No one has posted here for sometime - and just finishing up this past year's Meister Awards, and there is a lot of déjà vu happening here. This thread deserves a bump up.

Sadly, one of the biggest contributors here was colinsunderland.

I had to laugh on the Aff Guard Dog forum the other day, a scam affiliate who promotes 4crowns, ArseCasino etc. is there whining about not being paid his commission and surprise surprise the forum resolution service is getting no reply...

 

[justdoit]

I think Sub-license casino need to attach what license they using, if they just say 365/JAZ with out license number RED FLAG
this xxx casinos is use Sub-license next to Jaz they add what licences number they use when you check on GC Web they licences is valid
