Email for Red Casino promotion button links to SlotoCash...

[footdr]

Clicked on promo-link in the email from Red Casino and directed to SlotoCash who said it was a technical problem and to contact Red Casino regarding the bonus, wouldn't say if Red Casino was part of their group and goggle of red casino came up with nothing.

What the heck?

Spam?

I've never heard of Red Casino either - so I Googled it too... and look what I found!

Red Casino - Casino of the Decade!
Hmmm.. that's odd I think - so click on the link...
And I get a fake casino site which is just some sort of affiliate portal which links out to 32Red.
Or is this site run by 32Red themselves?
Anyone know?

@footdr: I that the domain where your e-mail came from?
If so, was it "spam"?

Thanks KK

I can't believe these days that people still click links from places they don't know. It's so silly and just asking for trouble. I guess when you want something free bad enough....

Hey KK,

Casino Red is a B&M based in Huddersfield. They don't currently offer online gaming so chose 32Red as their official online partner. I am sure they won't be sending out spam though - it would be good for the OP to post any further info?

Well if it is from a
"new casino", meaning one I had never played before and then I follow the link to an accredited casino there is something very wrong. And, if a player never clicked on a link to a casino offering promotions how would they take advantage of promotions offered them by a casino or even check out whether the offer was a valid one?

Don't blame players for checking out offers. Naturally, if it had opened up a website called Red Casino, I would have checked them out online through forums and reviews before depositing. Players obviously take advantage of offers from casinos they don't know because that is likely how they began playing at online casinos to begin with via the many casino review forums and once they play at one the offers keep rolling.

The point is that the link didn't "link" me to the casino that sent the email, instead took me to slotocash who would not answer my question as to whether Red Casino was a member of their group and instead said to contact them and when I asked for the web address she said to just goggle it and I did and told her I could find no casino named red casino and again asked if it was associated with slotocash. She told me three times that it was a technical error/problem. So how did she know that?

Something going on here in my opinion.

As far as if it is spam, I don't even know who to tell if it was a spam email so maybe you can tell me how to determine this.

What address did the email come from?

It's far safer to type the casino url into your browser and check it out....that way you aren't giving spammers credit for their spam. I thought everyone did this? Obviously not.

Unless its from a casino I already play at introducing a new venture, then I consider it spam. If everyone else did that it would make spamming less profitable.

I will try to find the email and url but this is what chat support at slotocash

Michelle: Unfortunately this is not our casino, you are free to check with the red casino the details.
you: I followed the link "click here" and this is where it lead me. Is red casino a sister casino of yours
Michelle: This may be a slight technical upgrade. So we advise you to check with the other casino support.

I found this to be a very strange reply and can't make sence of it.

as I recall it was from promotions@redcasino.com

This website is not connected to Sloto'Cash, 32red confirmed the connection with Casino Red. Our support would not be able to help you as the casino is not part of our group, however if you PM me the actual full link I will be able to see if this belongs to an affiliate.

Kind Regards

I got this spam too, and thought that this might be another case of Ed and Pat having to get their lawyers out

The email is for "Red Casino", and was clearly advertising an online casino, not a B & M one. It now seems this has something to do with marketing for Sloto, but a "technical error" occurs on the site and tells the visitor to contact Red Casino, which doesn't even exist online.

When searching for it via Google, the only "Red Casino" found is the B & M one, with a curious banner for 32Red. Now, for an online player, this looks like a rogue 32Red affiliate spamming a trail intended to lead to 32Red. Whilst a spurious and circumstantial connection, it can reflect negatively on 32Red, as well as this B & M "Red Casino" that may also be considered a fake front for a "banner farm" website.

There are a few casinos using "Red" in the name, and it may be worth checking to see whether any come too close to infringing the 32Red trademark in the way 32Vegas did. "7Red" is probably the closest as it uses the same formula, number+colour on a Roulette wheel.

Incidentally, I have recently received spam from "32Vegas", so the domain IS still being used, but not for a casino, instead it's for marketing and spamming.

Your CS contributed to this problem:-

Michelle: Unfortunately this is not our casino, you are free to check with the red casino the details.
you: I followed the link "click here" and this is where it lead me. Is red casino a sister casino of yours
Michelle: This may be a slight technical upgrade. So we advise you to check with the other casino support.

The question was direct, and Michelle should have said "No", instead she said "This may be a slight technical upgrade." and sends the inquirer to the other casino's support. Failure to give a clear "No" leads to the impression that Red Casino is a "secret sister", and that CS are under instructions to be evasive, neither confirming nor denying the connection. On it's own, probably enough to arouse only slight suspicion, but coupled with the fact that the Sloto website was at the end of the link to "Red Casino", with the CS giving the impression that the misdirect was down to a "technical upgrade", and to contact Red Casino directly, turns the slight suspicion into proof of the link.

Doing as suggested by "Googling it" does not help matters, instead it finds a REAL "Red casino", one that isn't even an online one, but who's website muddies the waters further by throwing up a connection to 32Red.

This is all being caused by rogue behaviour among affiliates, who are now faking so much in their marketing that they are creating spurious connections with actual businesses that have nothing to do with what they are peddling. This is getting worse with time. In this case, they may even have damaged the business they were trying to market because a prospective player asked CS at Sloto about the fake "Red casino" named in the email, and the casino to which this player had expected to end up at.

Well next time you're there, perhaps you could ask them why their website looks like a fake online casino site which links out to 32Red?
