From SPAM to SCAM
Well, CR have stooped even lower.
Got this today, and this combines casino SPAM with CRIMINAL INTERNET SCAM.
The CRIMINAL part is the fake notification of having "won a cheque for $500". This is from the fake "write a cheque committee". There simply IS NO $500 CHEQUE 100% - 101% CRIMINAL SCAM since what is sdvertised is simply NOT ON OFFER.
In fact, following the instructions to "qualify" reveals this is simply another CR scam, and that in fact CR OWN and RUN the "write a cheque committee", and that the $500 is simply the well known FLASH free play offer introduced by MGS for marketing purposes a couple of years ago.
This is FAR more likely to get the CR domains blocked than their normal spam efforts, since it is a breach of CRIMINAL TRADING LAWS, rather than just "nuisance advertising", as is most spam and junk mail. It will ensure more than ever that ISP's will block even more CR emails, INCLUDING those they send to LOYAL players, and these LOYAL players will think they have been arbitrarily cut off from promotions, and will leave.
CR would be better off looking at their bloated portfolio, as who the hell needs such a huge number of casinos with now NO chance of gaining NEW US players, other countries now starting to introduce prohibition measures, and players in other countries having less and less disposable money.
CR are one of a small number of groups who simply DO NOT LISTEN, as can be seen by their policy of yanking ANY of their employees who are willing listeners to player concerns, and who make this clear by making themeselves available as Renee did.
This spam is NOT from a "rogue affiliate", but from CR THEMSELVES, done through Jangomail, an outlet that will SPAM your product for a fee. CR have CERTAINLY supplied player's email addresses for this purpose, as the SAME outfit seems to have the contract to send out GENUINE promotions and newsletters. It is HIGHLY UNLIKELY that any "wall" between the two parts of the organisation will be honoured, and that the part doing GENUINE promotions seem to have passed over this PRIVILIGED information over to their mass marketing (or spamming) branch to make it even MORE efficient.
Sadly, it is not efficient enough to implement screening for eligibility, and many of these offers come to players who cannot use them.
