And how about affiliates who promote dodgy casinos take resposibility for THEIR actions?
You are missing the point ENTIRELY.
Someone Wrote the FBI about an affiliate.
There are tons of blinking ads out there. YOU - the gambler - are RESPONSIBLE for your choices.
The affiliate is just a billboard.
YOU -- the gambler -- are RESPONSIBLE for clicking on the ads.
YOU -- the gambler -- are RESPONSIBLE for your actions - win or lose.
I totally concur that bad affiliates are shady nasty people that deserve to lose business.
BUT FBI?
That's blackmail.
Roll your eyes all you want - but if you think the affiliate is the total responsibility for the gambler's playing loss/win - then you have said the KNIFE IS RESPONSIBLE FOR THE MURDER.
Period.
I am NOT saying affiliates aren't shady - I'm not saying that they aren't there to make a fast buck.
But you don't go putting LAW ENFORCEMENT into the mix because YOU choose to gamble - and you got burned... At least not to the affiliate.
Go after the REAL crooks - the damn casino.
Not the idiotic affiliate who has NO control over the casinos.
----NOTE--- and don't try to tell me what I'm saying... BAD AFFILIATES deserve to get a BAD REPUTATION.
But threatening with Law Enforcement???????
How stupid is that?
It's like suing the magazine company because you bought your wife perfume that stinks - because YOU saw it in an ad.
No one forced you to click on the link.
No one forced you to gamble.
That's like saying the BAR forced you to drink - because there were neon signs saying "BUDWEISER" - so you drove home drunk... DUH...
PLAYER RESPONSIBILITY. ADULT RESPONSIBILITY.
Own up to your own responsibility - and leave LAW ENFORCEMENT out of the mix. That's just evil.
With the current situation on the law - you could truly be ruining someone's life.
Again - I'm not saying shady affiliates ought to be praised - but law enforcement is another bird altogether.
I disagree with it so vehemently - because TRUST ME - once ONE affiliate goes down - WE ALL GO DOWN.
DO YOU UNDERSTAND THIS?
ONE affiliate - bad or good - goes down - WE ALL GO DOWN --- all of us - and MOST of us are GOOD Affiliates.
