Casumo Affiliate Spam Problem

[Playford7]

Could casumo confirm what they pay out on average daily please, also on a hourly rate to winning customers.
As on listverse website a advert states the amount, I'm just curious as if it's correct.

 

[paul7388]

For a casino to say it is okay because there is a disclaimer stating that the person in the photo is not the winner is just not right in my opinion. But then to say the actual stories are real beats me.

I will give the benefit of the doubt that the stake could possibly be right at £2.15 as the player was from sweden and its roughly 2.5 euro.

But seriously why would a swedish player shout to his partner he has won £2.8 million pound. A swedish player would hardly be playing in pounds and hardly think he would be shouting about his win in pounds. And if he was playing in pounds as already stated the stake is false.

Sorry but you cannot have it both ways. Accept all you want that your affiliates etc. will use any trick to promote your site. But please donot try and say the stories are completely factual except for the photos.

 

[Playford7]

Again some sort of decent and proper regulation needs to be in place. Only in the online casino world is this absolutely lacking in every field. How it's allowed is a disgrace.
Not just casumo, personally for me there a great outfit, I'm not overly bothered about spam, they pay and treat a customer well.
And it's not just them that have this scummy affiliation problem.

 

[spintee]

Sorry to bring up the same old, but at least they can share the blame with BGO this time

Got to admit that 1200% bonus and 200 spins sound to good to miss

 

[colinsunderland]

Same affiliate as before, mobilecasinoclub, those who had a hidden opt in to their spam list that Alex obviously thought was acceptable.

No wagering on the 220 free spins? (which is a lie as its 200 free spins not 20 +200) Says keep what you win so presumably not.
Advertising rules say all T&C's should be no more than one click away from the advert, so I clicked to find them, got directed to
xxhttps://promo.mobilecasinoclub.co.uk/casumo/lps/index.html
ooops no t&c's, so I click the claim now button to be taken to
xxhttps://www.casumo.com/en-gb/let-me-in?utm_medium=affiliate&utm_source=823166
no T&C's there, you do get this,



but again, no mention of any T&C's (unless you scroll right to the bottom of the page - not not near the offer), and you can't click on the offer to find any, so I asked live chat

hiya, i just came to your site through a facebook ad, are there no wagering requirements on the 220 free spins on registration?

Casumo-Emma
Heya!Welcome to Casumo world!
Free spin winnings have 30 times wagering
Also there is 200 free spins, 220 must be incorrect I am afraod
Also 5 deposit bonuses. Woho!

but the advert says 'keep what you win' how do you keep what you win if you have to wager it 30 times?
THIS IS NOT A JOKE! HOTTEST LIMITED TIME OFFER Get 20 FREE SPINS TODAY and 200 FREE SPINS over 9 days + KEEP WHAT YOU WIN! THIS WON'T LAST LONG!

Casumo-Emma
I don't know where this offer is and if it's written by us but basically it means you can keep all the winnings after wagering is done

So you don't keep what you win.

Yep clear as mud, typical shite from the usual casumo super affiliate who is allowed to do what they like and break as many UKGC rules as they like, as long as they keep sending the traffic.

No doubt Alex & CasumoAffiliates will ignore this post, like they did when people questioned their last post, but at least shows Bryan nothing has changed.

While that is good news, and good that you have done something quickly, how many chances do you give affiliates? This is the same affiliate that cost (or at least contributed towards) you losing your accredited status here, constantly produces adverts that are dishonest or misleading at best, and despite your recent changes to the affiliate agreement is still allowed to promote you.
Changing an advert after its sent you a ton of new customers doesn't change the fact the affiliate is sending traffic by means not allowed going by the UKGC rules.
Obviously this affiliate doesn't care about breaking the rules, evidenced by the fact they do it all the time, and I don't believe for one minute its a simple mistake, as they have promoted you for long enough to know the welcome offer is 200 not 220 free spins (as an example) so the mistakes HAVE to be deliberate.
I believe they are actually connected to a UKGC licensed casino too, so they certainly should know the rules.

Thats good

But like colinsunderland has been trying to stress for a long time its the lies that is the problem, 1200%? Its like saying come to my pub and I will give you a free pint if you buy one, than some one buys a pint and I give them a swig, than when ask where is the free pint I than say, well buy another pint and I will give you another swig

There was an unsub but what use is is that I will nether know but far from the 1 click away away from the terms as per UK reg's. Also the main point was I should nether have been receiving theses emails in the first place


I repeat my self, I am not here to try knocking your site as infact I nether had a problem there and you have a bloody good casino, My withdraws was always prety quick but I did spend a good time at the site and after a whlle I nether waited more than 30 mins for my cash, there is only one other site that does cash out that quick, but in all honestly my last 20 - 30 withdraws at a guess was bang on the 30 mins mark.

Also the spam rubbish would not stop me from playing a site but would most likely put alot of players signing up or depo once they see the the lies that theses emails or sms state.

my 5 year old daughter played with tablet some childs game from play store. Suddenly many of those adverts which comed there was casumo.com.

So why casumo them Self is acting illegal ?

Yhe thats the trouble, goolge is another con, albit they are a liife saver but when you buy tablets ect its bundled with aps and what has been stated here I would not be surprised if conomo has paid for the aps to be added

Edit:: casumo is not a con but the affiliate's related are conomo

 

[colinsunderland]

If its a cookie based ad that is served outside the game then I believe the law is a little grey, however if its an in game ad then its 100% illegal if the game is targeted at under 18's. It should be reported to the UKGC as that is something they are usually shit hot on.
The new affiliate rules Casumo sent out are pretty clear on this, so I would imagine if you have anything showing what happened (screenshots for example) and the affiliate tags then I would think they will take action.

Do you know the game? If so I'll have a go on a device that has never been used for any gambling sites and see if I get the same ads.

Please accept my sincerest apologies for this.

This is actually the first complaint of this nature we have had, our adverts in app are only set to show for accounts that are way above legal age, of course nothing is 100% and we do our absolute best to ensure this does not happen. Our target audience via apps is 25-45.

Could I ask if this was a one time occurrence or if it is repeatedly happening? If it happens again please send over the tracking link, from that we can find out exactly where this is coming from and ensure it is stopped. Also report the ad to Google and it will help us when filtering for the future.

Thank you

As usual, your lying, cheating, dishonest affiliate mobilecasinoclub gets away with it as the advert is still up, hasn't been changed and is still live. Heres a screenshot of it 5 minutes ago, notice theres a comment from the 6th August, showing it was still live 2 days after you had been in touch with the affiliate.



Only 40,000 views so far in a week of being live, just remind me why you let them lie?

Almost bedtime now, but will post one of their other page names with a misleading advert tomorrow, its beyond a joke how you let them get away with it. Nice to see casumooffers is still writing content for them though

By the way, can you get the proof of my opt in for this spammer please, "YourCasinosBonus" [email protected] - was sent to my hotmail address.

 

[CasumoAffiliates]

Hi Colin,

With regards to the Facebook post above, the ad is 100% paused Sunday at midday, meaning it will not show up on timelines (the ad is no longer live). However if for example you bookmarked the page and visited it, it is still visible. We have the affiliate contacting Facebook now to see if it can be deleted full stop.

Casumooofers is no longer in operation since we seized the domain many months ago. The affiliate did take steps to remove this from all of their posts, however an error from an employee on their side meant that an old landing page was used. This landing page has now been deleted from the affiliates system so it cannot happen again.

I do not think this was done to mislead players intentionally as it holds little to no value without the domain.

With regards to the email, I have messaged you privately.

Regards
Stephen.

 

[colinsunderland]

These popped up on my timeline tonight, 220 free spins again?
The 3rd pic is the landing page from the first ad...300% bonus?
Pretty much every single ad i see from these has an error in it, they are a massive affiliate yet don't know how to write a short ad? Yeah right. Funny how the errors are ALWAYS, without fail, errors that make the welcome offer seem better than it is. I've never seen one say 100 free spins instead of 200, or 100% bonus instead of 200%.

The first one I would say is extremely misleading, doesn't mention anywhere about having to deposit, and it could easily be read as 420 spins (20+200+20 a day for 10 days).

As usual terms and conditions are not one click away from the advert, in breach of UKGC rules.

It would be later when can get the links when I get home, but they are all mobilecasino club links, despite the names being different on the first one.....that can be shown in the terms of the 3rd screenshot as it says the content was written by them.

Oh and what was the massive TV giveaway they mention?

They also mention giving away gift cards to people who comment on their facebook posts, but have never seen a winners list, can you get that as I emailed and asked and was ignored. They have to do this under UK law.

Regarding the proof of opt in you sent, I've replied back, but showing I'm subscribed to a mailing list is not proof I opted in and that the spammer hasn't obtained my email address from somewhere dodgy. My IP address is the very least they should be giving as proof along with where exactly I opted in.

Also still waiting on a reply to this post - how did someone play £2.15 spins on a slot that it isn't possible to play that amount on?

 

[CasumoAffiliates]

I was just about to say the same thing - these stories are all made up... and without ANY thought for whether they are even real or not, they lie about the bet size!
You CANNOT bet 2.15 on MFD - it's impossible.

I challenge you to give an ounce of proof as to the truthfulness of any of the stories you post - there may be some truth in them, but the "facts" don't add up.

So, to answer CasumoAffiliates question earlier - i admit that in the ad i posted, there was little that i could find to prove it's not true. But in the others on that site, there is plenty. If it went to court, i'm guessing you'd struggle to prove either the Book of Ra or Mega Fortune Dreams information...

This ad was targeting UK players so the currencies have been switched from € to £ to reflect that.

There is no conspiracy theory here, this article is true.

All Euro values were switched to Pounds. Yes the Swedish winner didn't shout pounds but the currency was converted for the UK reader for perspective.

How? Would the fact that someone shouted pounds rather than euros be a deciding factor for players who may or may not sign up?

The article was wrote in pounds for perspective, not to deceive.

At the time of writing 2.5€ was equivalent to £2.15.

There are problems in this thread, in my eyes this is not one of them.

With all due respect, I think that readers (even in the UK) know what Euros are!
Personally I think it is condescending, totally unnecessary and misleading to make this conversion for the ads

If it was some more unusual currency (NOK or Rand, for example) you could always put the £ amount in brackets after the actual amount.

Actually, it is misleading - and arguably probably not legal. You are showing the prospective player a bet which CAN NOT be selected. There is no such bet as €2.15 - and therefore, your ad is misleading. You could argue that if you put "all values shown have been converted from the currency the player was using in to your local currency" as a disclaimer, but to show a bet size that is not possible is misleading, and could put you at odds with the UKGC and ASA.

Imagine if i made a game that COULD give you a full screen of wilds on the greek version, but couldn't in the english one. I then show a full screen of wilds in an advert for a game and say "Darren Rosenblatt won £15,000 on Monkey Cash last week with a full screen of wilds". According to you, this is fine - even though Darren was actually playing the greek version of the game where the win was possible because you've "localised" the currency in the advert.

You are entitled to disagree of course - but i think you (and not only Casumo - there are MANY guilty parties not just in the casino world) are misleading people (albeit you could argue it's not a huge issue)\.

Thank you for that.

The 'proof of opt in' you sent was no more than proof I was on his mailing list, which wasn't even correct as it said I had never been contacted, which was obviously a lie as how did I have an email from him?

The whole industry is plagued with spam from dodgy affiliates who use non opt in mailing lists, or mailing lists supplied by dodgy affiliate managers or casino employees, taking down one or two might not make much difference short term, but it might make some think twice about spamming again, and if word gets round that you (or other casinos) close accounts if they can't supply a genuine proof of opt in, then it will likely make others think twice too.

I have now been given 8 'proof of opt in's' from you and a couple of other casinos. Not ONE has been valid, which shows the extent of spamming by affiliates.

Thank you again for taking action against that affiliate

Please bear in mind that these adverts cannot be deleted, only suspended, But they should not appear in your newsfeed any longer.

Best Regards
Stephen

Hi Colin,

They have now stopped all traffic to that ad, it will no longer appear in the Newsfeed. However, as discussed previously you will still be able to deeplink to it if you have saved as a book mark. They cannot delete the ad, but it has no audience.

A new compliant version of the ad will replace it.

Regards
Stephen

Can we agree that Casumo Casino has extinguished this flame of misguided affiliates? It seems to me that they have taken this seriously, and have pretty much squelched the spammy bastards.

From a players POV, they are pretty good - and this is the only real problem that they have had. In my opinion, I feel that they have taken care of this problem and are ready to come back on board as an Accredited Casino.

From the Accredited section:

Marketing Standards

• Must not spam, and must take appropriate actions against any affiliates or any third parties who spam or produce deceptive and/or deliberately false or misleading advertising.

I feel that this has been taken care of, right?

Well the main affiliate who has been producing all the (extremely in some cases) misleading adverts is still doing it, and up until this morning still had adverts showing, even though it was first reported 12 days ago (here). As that affiliate is still producing misleading adverts I'm not sure what actions have been taken, but hopefully everythings good from now on.

I have noticed spam emails from casumo affiliates seems to have decreased quite a bit in the past couple of months.

The affiliate emails do seem to be saying they will close accounts of anyone not following the law with regards to advertising and also anyone who spams.

Personally, as long as they keep their word on what they are doing, then I have no problem with them being accredited again, as you say, from a player perspective they are one of the top casinos out there in my view.

Will be interesting to see if Mobilecasinoclub change all their adverts to be compliant on the UK laws and rules by the 24th as the affiliate email says (especially making the terms and conditions no more than 1 click away, as at the moment they are about 4).

EDIT: actually xxhttps://promo.mobilecasinoclub.co.uk/casumo/monopoly/index.html still hasn't been changed.

I noticed that they were in at a forum for affiliates too today and from their information immediately had closed an account.
Finally it seems like they are listening so for me they are good to go again

A huge thanks to Colin who really have taken his time to keep them on their toes. Without him maybe nothing had changed yet :notworthy
This thread maybe can stay open for the future though...

You mean this?



In its tiny print terms it says to be eligible you have to make a post at Facebook. Are you sure this is not an exclusive promo for this affiliate? Perhaps the Casumo rep can let us know.

Yes that , I posted a link and screenshot to that page here and here almost 2 weeks ago, I would have thought the rep would have mentioned it if it were an exclusive deal. I also asked about the so called competition for making a post on facebook here but was ignored.

As I say I don't have a problem them being accredited again, but, as has been shown throughout this thread, this particular affiliate has consistently produced misleading and non compliant adverts for months and nothing has been done except, after pressure from here, them being told to change the ad. Anyone can make a mistake, even a couple of mistakes, but pretty much every advert I have seen this affiliate produce has had mistakes in (until they were posted on here and changed) and every single one made the welcome offer seem better than it was (not forgetting the hidden opt in's to spam lists). If it was just sloppy work, you would expect at least one or two to make the offer seem worse, but the fact they all make it seem better, says to me they are deliberate mistakes.

I have no problem with casumo back on the list as they are a good casino, my problem is the misleading adverts and instead of addressing the problem they tried and defend the wording, put your hands up and say we got it wrong as clearly thats what happened.
