Spam
Much of this stems from this "Driftwood Bay" operation. Unfortunately, Fortune Lounge ALSO send their internal mailers from Driftwood Bay. This can make it look as though FL are responsible for the Spam. Belize also has secretive company laws, but "1934 Driftwood Bay" (the spammer), seems to live in a damn crowded building!!! Searching specifically for this address it seems to be behind a large number of "companies" as their official address. The majority are in the online casino business, but are unrelated to each other. Our notorious friends Jackpot Factory, operated by Squareit Ltd, also operate from that same place. I think there is something a little underhand going on with this Driftwood Bay place. It does not seem to be a "real bay" as such, but some sort of "free zone" in Belize City. It seems anyone can buy an offshore comany on a "pay the fee and modest tax & no questions asked, no accounts need to be filed etc".
I am now certain that 1934 Driftwood bay is simply an offshore office of convenience for many companies to have as their registered address. The "spam" probably does not actually come from here, and snail mail sent to this address may as well be forwarded to the waste basket just as much as to the company concerned.
The case against FL:- (Mostly circumstancial, but quite compelling)

1) Internal mailer regarding my Loyalty points, contains my personal details so therefore must come from FL and not a "publisher" etc.

This is the EXACT SAME ADDRESS as the internal mailers. This particular "spammer" - casino-bonus.net is in the SAME DAMN BUILDING!!!
If Fortune Lounge contend that they have no control over this "affiliate" does this mean that 1934 Driftwood Bay is NOT the true address of Fortune Lounge?
I believe a full and frank disclosure is required. Who or What exactly is "1934 Driftwood Bay", does this place REALLY exist (It's not a district of Belize on any map I have looked at, although the maps are basic), and Belize City is on a short "point", not a "Bay" in sight! Clearly, the people behind this address have my PERSONAL FL ACCOUNT DETAILS in order to have sent me the personalised material, but they also send out the general mailers too, that are seen as "Spam", but that are "Legitimate marketing" because they have an "unsubscribe" function.
Perhaps the address has been "dressed up" to look grandiose & "romantic", maybe " Unit 1934, Driftwood Bay Offshore Industrial Park" might be closer to the truth!
With all this circumstancial evidence, it is hardly surprising that FL are having a very hard time disassociating themselves from the responsibility for this issue in the eyes of many players.
