Gambling companies checking houses prices???.

[Mark_32Red (retired acct)]

Mark I also checked my inbox and the company left me an email to say if I left a postive review on trust pilot you will add a free bet to my account.

Please post a screenshot here. This is completely untrue there is no stipulation of a positive review for a free bet or bonus.

Thanks for advice on joining game stop. I don't really need to gamble. So I self exclude with them should take 24 hours to go through. I did try and self exclude on 32red but the process is annoying you have to fill out a form. It doesn't have permanent self exclusion either.

If it is a UK licenced casino, it HAS to have permanent self-exclusion, so i believe

I'm not commenting on the individual case here and 32 red, but it wouldn't surprise me if the average income level to postcode information wasn't used by some gambling firms in their marketing/promotional decisions. Say they have a
£100,000 monthly budget to attract more turnover/business it could be argued irresponsible to use it to target players from poor areas, and just on a pure business decision level they also have less available income to lose/gamble.

I think one of the concerns many had with the SOW process was that casinos would then know exactly how much 'disposable income' you had each month, so if that fear was believable why not also this postcode data possibly being a factor? [Not the deciding factor though]

This site does a similar thing in a general way

This link is so interesting. Thank you for sharing.
I checked 2 postcodes of areas I know extremely well. Reading the ‘wealth and credit risk indicators’ they showed completely inaccurate info in many, many ways.
Eg... a street on a fairly new housing development located between a large hospital, a motorway junction and the council estate.
On the street live medical professionals, head teachers, accountants, teachers, shop owners etc.
I wonder how they would feel about this description of themselves...

You can't fault its accuracy

That's the thing in the uk, income and wealth can differ greatly street by street, the results on that site are too general and inaccurate and the accompanying descriptions are so judgemental/laughable and class based; however I then think to myself, sadly, it is probably realistic to how companies and the advertising industry, plus politics, see the UK and break it down and analyse it. There's no morality concern to them in doing this, it's just a cold 'calculating' analysis and business.

On top of this they can now break down social media use etc.. to analyse 'trends' and other factors further...

To be fair, it doesn't need to be incredibly accurate, it would just need to be accurate enough that using it is more profitable than not using it. They could compare it against their existing playerbase to see how well it holds up, and if the correlation is high enough, use it to target certain newer players for some extra promotions, or higher limits, etc. It wouldn't have as much value for older players because their deposit and playing history would obviously be way more reliable.

Even if this tactic didn't really work, it could still be put in place as some executive's pet project to make it look like they are doing something useful. So not saying most casinos are doing this, but I would be very surprised if at least SOME casinos weren't doing these sorts of things, whether landbased or online.

Mark told me not to talk about trustpilot reviews.

Mark told me not to talk about trustpilot reviews.

Well I dashed off to scour my inbox for my email. I even checked my spam box too. Not had any free spins for ages. But alas, no email for me. Perhaps I live in the wrong postcode area.

 

[dionysus]

Mark told me not to talk about trustpilot reviews.

so
to be clear
Mark is saying the trust pilot review thing is patently untrue
youre saying mark told you not to say anyything

i gather you have some sort of written correspondence to this effect?

 

[mack341]

Mark told me not to talk about trustpilot reviews.

I thought he simply asked you to post a screen shot of said email, obviously what's written on trust pilot isn't necessary the issue. I had an offer from a company on amazon to leave a review and get a second product for free, but it didn't say the review had to be positive...

Edit: just to add when I was a complete newbie and hadn't heard of casinomeister I used to read trust pilot reviews of casinos a lot, they were 90% negative I'd say as people are more motivated to leave a review when there's been a problem.

 

[chuchu59]

LOL. Hong Kong is the place with the most outrageous housing prices in the world and its common for prices per square foot to exceed USD 1500. t'is a pity many online casinos dont accept players from Hong Kong.

 

[Borgie]

Mark told me not to talk about trustpilot reviews.

No he didn't. He asked you to post a screenshot of the e mail you claim to have received regarding a free bet if you gave a positive review. Please dont play games. Mark has been here for years. He's trusted. Trust is earned. At present you need to earn our trust. So post the screen shot .

Here's a copy of the email, for the record:

Here's a copy of the email, for the record:

Honestly though giving rewards for a review at all seems a bit morally questionable to me. There will be people who give the review only for the spins, and will feel like it's in their self interest to give it a maximum score just in case.

So technically it's not bribing people for a strong review, but in practice it's not so clear.

I appreciate your opinion and I see where you're coming from, but it's common practice across many industries. We want to encourage reviews of our service, the sad reality is nobody will be bothered if there's not an incentive.

[Mr_Slot5]

In my opinion, it's highly dubious when any company offers an incentive to review on trustpilot. To me, it would feel like I would have to give a positive review in order to be granted the 'reward'.

I'm sure from a psychological research perspective, companies will know this.

 

[Jono777]

I'll do anything for a tenner bonus, no make that 20, my services are high quality after all

In all seriousness though, over many, many years of this slotting malarkey - Most if not all of the survey based emails I've had over the years from various companies have carried some sort of incentive to encourage me to complete them.

 

[goatwack]

I understand the bribery aspect of companies wanting good reviews left on Trustpilot et al

What I want to know is can I savage them and still get the Jungle Jim spins?
