Dubious Offering JackƤotter.com : anatomy of a shilling and spamming campaign

[maxd]

As some of you may have noticed we’ve had something of a deluge of shilly-spammy posts from JackƤotter.com recently, see here if you’ve missed the fun and games. Before we begin a definition of terms is in order:

• shill:
  • One who poses as a satisfied customer or an enthusiastic gambler to dupe bystanders into participating in a swindle.
  • a person paid to
    You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.
    a product favourably, while pretending to be
    You do not have permission to view link Log in or register now.
    .
  • An accomplice at a confidence trick during an auction or gambling game.
• shilling : to create fake positive reviews for a product or service in order to make it appear more popular than it really is.

And a brief summary for context:

• since May 1st JackƤotter.com has sent no less than 75 different people to Casinomeister to post “I love JackƤotter” messages (or equivalent), or encouraged re-tries from those who've tried and failed. This is “shilling” and is forbidden in the Casinomeister Casinomeister Forum Rules .
• all 75 attempts were people who deliberately came here, signed on and as their first and only post tried to pollute these forums with their shilly nonsense.
• in the vast majority of cases these posts were completely fake and out of context: they made no reference to anything else that appeared on Casinomeister and they contributed nothing but “go play there”. In other words they were not part of a conversation or any other Casinomeister content, just a stand-alone shilly post that no one asked for or had shown any interest in.
• given the shilling nature of these posts we removed any links, killed the promotional name-dropping and banned the person trying to post this rubbish in violation of the Forum Rules.

For the record JackƤotter is a previously unheard-of crypto casino licensed in the underwhelming jurisdiction of Anjouan. We had never seen anything from them before this shilling campaign nor have they tried to contact us at any time to discuss what might be done legitimately on Casinomeister: it’s just been a flood of shills and nothing more.

Now we see that some of the people that JackƤotter has sent to Casinomeister are now hammering us on TrustPilot because we wouldn’t allow them to post their “review”: we don’t host unsolicited “reviews” and never have. People come here to leave comments about casino properties, not “reviews”. We have a Content Department that does legitimate reviews for Casinomeister wherein the information has been gathered and vetted by industry professionals. It’s not a job for rookies or volunteers because our reputation — with readers and Google — depends on factual, authoritative content. Drive-by “love it! got rich! go there!” foolishness is not helpful and not appropriate.

For the record there is a perfectly acceptable way for JackƤotter — or any other casino — to approach Casinomeister for listing on the side and or offering promotions to our readership: if they have a GIG or Gentoo affiliate account they are welcome to contact their account manager to discuss possibilities at Casinomeister. Otherwise they are free to contact our Casinomeister Account Manager (information available on request).

Seconded the above.

It's worth noting that any properly-funded and legitimate site would run a reputable affiliate programme in most cases, and gain presence on gambling websites via that means. Then receive genuine unadulterated opinions from site members (as opposed to the aff!) which could actually be taken at least a little seriously.

Instead of using social media and spammers/shills to elicit champagne reviews on a lemonade budget.

Although it's pretty endemic and results in false flags, paying or incentivizing people to leave positive reviews anywhere is simply dishonest and undermines the integrity of those particular sites. Not that most aren't viewed with a touch of cynicism regardless.

Trouble is, reputable sites like CM have a firewall of experienced staff and a membership to match which shields readers from this nonsense and who do their best to vet people that have a presence here.

Consequently, this bunch and any other like them will never be able to use this forum to gain free traffic and solicited or unverified reviews. A lesson that some appear to be too obtuse to absorb.

I hope I had seen these threads before...

I was reviewing some casinos in Trustpilot and they seem to have very good reviews, so then I deposited some money (around 500$) , and when I try to withdraw over 1,000$ and after completing KYC, they just locked my account and stop replying to my emails.

So, even if it's now obvious, avoid playing here or overall in any place with Anjouan license

Sorry to hear that, but take a look at how they operate in this thread:

(Incentivising spammers and shills on social media to post false positivity on gambling sites/forums, always a sign of a disreputable business with something to hide).
