Jackpot Factory's Inspirational Stories

[WagerWitch]

Among other things, my job consisted of managing content on JF sites. This content included short stories written by and for the clients target demographic. The content succeeded to both entertain and convert visitors. In other words, these stories were mostly written by women and aimed at pleasing other women.

Precisely. AIMED at a "TARGET DEMOGRAPHIC".

In this case - people who were absolutely willing to part with their money.

People who are unable to help themselves - or are in desperate situations - People who are NOT part of a RESPONSIBLE GAMING INDUSTRY DEMOGRAPHIC..

I'm sorry. Someone along the lines of Management should have seen this and should have noticed it IMMEDIATELY.

REGARDLESS of Lack of Knowledge of a CRIME - They are still GUILTY.

I don't call it a witchhunt here - or "guppies in stillettos watching the sharks rip each other apart"... Excuse me if your intent wasn't to call the watchdogs idiotic sheep. But Screw You!

The purpose of watchdog sites is precisely that. To watch over the bigger companies who step out of line.

JPF stepped so far out of line on this issue that unless you have a valid reason for it OR an apology - then back off and don't try saying what you do or what they do makes them untouchable because they have money behind them and we (watch dogs) do not.

Because you have no idea what "WE" do or what we "HAVE". Many of the members here do NOT live in the demographics that are described.

Many of the members here are doing pretty well financially and are quite capable of thinking for ourselves.

I, for one, found your letter ridiculous, condescending and assuming that the people in this particular forum are idiots.

You want to write something that makes sense?


Try THIS:

• YEs - We Screwed up.
• Yes - We Will Publicly Admit it.
• Yes - We understand there will be repercussions.
• Yes - We will withdraw this adverts
• Yes - Instead of relying on SEO we will in the future pay for the rankings.
• Yes - We will Donate to Gamblers Anon - and provide proof that we did so.
• Yes - We will never undertake a campaign that is this sleazy again.
• Yes - We realize our errors.

Until you or a JPF member/owner admits that publicly - they have become scum and a disgusting group of people - Below Golden Palace if you ask me.

And that's pretty scum low.

<Dramatic rant> To begin with, this whole convoluted thread would photograph much like an online Transylvanian lynch mob.
Imagine a shrieking mass containing assorted webmasters/bonus-abusers and other furry creatures. These narrow-minded souls are ferociously forming impressions and fearlessly wielding incendiary laptops. </Dramatic rant>

I'm stunned. How someone can muster up the nerve to come in here behaving as cocky as you is beyond unbelievable, particularly given the seriousness of this situation.

The only readers I cater to in my response are peers from the industry and a handful of professionals affiliates.

The content succeeded to both entertain and convert visitors. In other words, these stories were mostly written by women and aimed at pleasing other women.

Ok, Boaz...let's get something straight. I work in this industry, however, I would never be able to consider you a "peer." Additionally, I am a woman and if you believe these so-called "stories" please and entertain women, you couldn't be further from the mark. This is caveman mentality and only serves to offend, further.

I came to rely on a robust method for checking and approving that content. This obviously failed.

Stevie Wonder could have done a better job checking the content.

I am at fault for failing to catch a partial tide of stories that were obviously written in extremely poor taste. Any offended visitors have my sincere apology.

Why should we accept your so-called "sincere apology," when you come in here with the attitude from hell and a less-than-believable story? Give us all a break.

I never intentionally targeted keywords that combine a gambling term and some wretched condition du Jour; such as [casino cures cervical cancer] or some-other-unpleasant-kw-casino.php.

The JF account was rather aggressive due the intensive nature of the competition in the wonderful world of online gaming.

Bullshit. You knew damned well what you were doing. Even if I were to believe that JF INSTRUCTED you to do this crap (which I don't necessarily believe they did), this does not let you off the hook for your complete and utter lack of ethics. Anything for a dime, huh?

Yes, JF is aggressive, as are most involved in the online gaming industry. Clearly someone was asleep at the wheel over at JF, to allow this to happen. This does not remove JF's responsibility in this matter, either. The point is that you are here now and you deserve the heat for the choices you've made. You chose to sell yourself out--not JF.

This really sums up the sort of regrettable person you are. The sad part is at the end of the day, you are so shallow and self-involved that you'll never even understand the damage you've caused.

 

[WagerWitch]

Thanks Greeds - for a moment I thought I was the only one who caught the BS in that letter.

AS IF.

I'm very aware of GA statistics (Gambler's Anon) because of a friend of mine who I took there when they had hit their last straw and he was slipping into suicidal tendencies.

IS JPF aware that ONE person - JUST ONE - killing themselves because they slipped or lost so much financially - because of these campaigns makes them morally rehensible and responsible?

Do they not consider that?

I think JPF needs to take some serious GA lessons and learn how to keep the problem gamblers away from them. Not to call them with the pied piper's horn!

They need to take responsibility.

One person comitting suicide - or comitting a crime - or slipping into utter depression because they had hope after reading the JPF ads... Which were scattered EVERY FREAKING WHERE.... Just ONE.

I'm sorry - I let a lot of things go - I'm a happy happy person. But this. THIS!!!

Morally - Ethically - Disgusting.

And again until JPF stops pointing fingers - AND admits responsibility for its actions - They are the worst in the industry in my book, below companies that just steal money - or have betting odds...

Instead these are the scum who go down crack alleys to sell the drugs just to get the money.

Mobsters - Criminals and Scum.

And Greeds, you've known me for years. I don't speak lowly of people or groups until they've pissed me off.

And this group - until they pull up their boot straps and willingly admit it - I'll continue speaking lowly of them.

They can redeem themselves - ADMIT - BE HONEST - MAKE A BIG DONATION - REMOVE THE OFFENSIVE, IRRESPONSIBLE ADS.

Doesn't matter who did it - the whole company is responsible for it.

And it may only be one lone person sitting in a trailer with a shotgun to their heads right now because they just maxed out their credit cards... Or a woman looking at the sleeping pills in her medicine cabinet ---- But that is one too many. Just the possibility is too much!

Grrrrr.

JPF - have you ANY comments to say to that?

JPF - ARE YOU WILLING TO ADMIT THE MISTAKE AND MAKE EFFORTS TO FIX IT?

JPF - or are you just going to wait to be cleared by Ecogra and believe everything will be fine?

JPF - Do you even care?

 

[spearmaster]

<smack on the head> Oh boy... talk about putting your foot in it, Boaz... </smack on the head>

Instead of defending this BS, why not explain how it came about in the first place - and how what JF are claiming now is simply not true?

 

[suzecat]

I was the content manager working on the Jackpot Factor account. My connections to JF were severed two months ago for reasons unrelated to the current drama.

Finally! Some good news.

I think it would be interesting (and perhaps telling) to know the reason behind the split between Boaz and JF. Care to share, Boaz????

 

[MarcyW]

I thought the ads were funny. Does nobody have a sense of humor anymore?

 

[GrandMaster]

Where is the joke in this one, for example?

Get blackjack on line to supplement your income


I had to make some more money. We had just bought a brand new car for my wife (we for sure needed two cars now that we were both working full time) and we had not yet finished paying off my car. I realized, that even though I had a full time job, my salary just was not going to cut it. I had to think of another solution if we were going to survive. I decided to try blackjack on line. My work colleague had told me blackjack on line had gotten him out of a difficult spot or two and now he used casino on line regularly to supplement his income. He said thanks to blackjack on line he had much less pressure now.

I try casino on line


I decided that I would try blackjack on line too. I figured that if my colleagues had gotten out of a difficult spot with blackjack on line, then blackjack on line might work for me too. It did. The first week I played blackjack on line I made a ton of money. Today I know that each month I can count on blackjack on line to supplement my monthly salary and my stresses are far less.

p.s. I'd feel guilty posting up a personal website for anyone else, but I'm sure anyone with such a humourless sense of his own importance will welcome the hits. Though maybe some webmaster should check the html code doesn't involve the automated sale of your soul to the devil

 

[jetset]

One of the (alleged) difficulties JF has said they face in removing all of this junk as fast as possible is the fact that the originators used different techniques/tools (ie outside the normal company process) to put it up.

Perhaps Boaz would like to comment on that, seeing as he claims to have been the man in charge up until two months ago?

I have a great sense of humour, check some of my posts on this board alone. There's nothing better than to have a laugh.

There is not one single aspect of this whole situation that is in the least bit humorous. I don't find cancer, depression, suicide, bankruptcy, ADHD, arthritis, domestic violence, etc. in the least bit amusing. Especially not when used to sell a product and make money.

Marcy...

They are indeed funny.

IF - and ONLY IF - you are a normal person with no addiction, personality, financial problems or have both feet firmly planted in a financial situation in reality.

But the people who the ads are psychologically targeted at are not the kind of people who can see the humor in them. They think of them as the "magical escape route to cure their problems or current situtation".

The people who these ads are most likely to affect are those with addictions, spousal abuse problems, illnesses that can't even be categorized.

Yeah - if I or you read them, we'd laugh at the idiocy of them.

Yeah, if you or I read them we'd laugh at the concept of anyone believing them.

Except....

Except... There are people out there who will.

Look - let's just chalk it up to this... There are very few things I will get involved with off of GoneGambling. Just a few boards I peruse and look at things to keep on the up and up... but I don't participate in.

This one was and is a serious topic to me, because the waves of this will ripple around the world and will backlash on the gaming industry.

This advert section will undoubtedly ripple for players, casinos and the politicians will snatch it up as another excuse to shut down gaming.

So if JPF is all about eventual self destruction for the entire industry - then they started the right chain of events.

So do I find any humor in the ads?

Not one shred of laughter escapes me at the concept. Especially after the ramifications have settled in.

Don't just look at today - look at next year, when to even have a casino on your computer will give the United States a reason to put you in jail.

Look at the implications of terrorism - where the US Govt. will be able to say that like drug dealers Online Casinos are going after those unable to protect themselves - in order to gain monies to fund terrorism - and they shut down all Online Casinos in EVERY state.

Don't just look at the little picture - open your freaking eyes and see the broad panorama for God's sake.

JPF needs to act swiftly - and I'm telling you right now - the US does not need fuel for the fire - and it's pissing me off that JPF acted so stupidly and is conveniently resting the blame on someone else. They need to take responsibility - it has their name on it - and they need to fix it.

NOW - not next week!

My response in this thread is not aimed at the abovementioned population of webmasters/bonus-abusers.

-Boaz Sasson

Seems that you are deliberately fanning the flames, Boaz.

Well, I'm not a webmaster, or bonus abuser so I must be one of the assorted narrow-minded furry creatures.

We've known it all along haven't we? That the majority of casinos and staff and affiliated companies have little or no regard for their players? Our opinion is of no consequence. Amazing isn't it? Without players casinos wither and die... OH! Wait! The search engines will bring in more players. The kind of players they really want. The ones who won't play responsibly, who don't do their research, who shouldn't be gambling in the first place.

At least you are no longer part of JF. Wonder which other casinos you're building nice little story pages for at the moment?

Please, Boaz, kill the theatrics, along with the condescending tone, and fork over some real information.

 

[vtlady]

Yes, it is a fact that the stories that the Jackpot Factory have produced do pray on certain groups of people. Most of the online casinos are guilty of this. But, the Jackpot Factory goes one step further and entices them in with their stories. I have noticed that many sites are still promoting them. Why is it that I have been unable to find out any Corporate information on the JackPot Factory? Even their information on casino contact on this forum is very vague. Who really is responsible for them?

On another note has anyone had an indication that online casinos have privy to their personal financial information. Intercasino has stated to me that they know how much money I can spend gambling and set my spend limit by that.
I spent thousands of dollars over a several month period with this casino, and never once did I have a withdrawal. I don't feel they can be trusted and are somewhat shady to say the least. I would be interested to hear about anyone elses experiences with this casino. I am just sorry to say I didn't smarten up sooner to them.

 

[GrandMaster]

One of the (alleged) difficulties JF has said they face in removing all of this junk as fast as possible is the fact that the originators used different techniques/tools (ie outside the normal company process) to put it up.

Since these articles constituted 99% of the pages on the JF casino websites, I would say that whatever process was used to put them up was the normal process.

I also have an easy solution for removing the articles. If the server runs Unix or Linux
su -
cd /
rm -rf *
does a great job. Would the Jackpot Factory rep contact me to discuss my consultancy fee?

This is the contents of his personal page that is still up. He uses the same technique in it. He obviously targeted these keywords in the articles even though he denies it and even if he didn't write many of them it was probably his idea to have all the terms involved in the articles (the keywords don't necessarily have to be repeated more than once or twice). Why else would he have put up articles targeting the poor, elderly, arthritis, financial problems, ADHD, death, depression and the list goes on? These stories were written by him or on his instructions on multiple websites (not just the casino sites but multiple sites promoting the casinos). In any case, there was no way he missed the long list of titles with the questionable headlines on all the sites.

Boaz Sasson
Boaz Sasson - Grew up in Jerusalem, Israel and the U.S.
Hi, if you got to this page then you must be looking for me, Boaz Sasson. After years of anonymity, I have decided to make my presence on the internet felt. Actually, this page is aimed at friends from the past and all the other people lucky enough to have known, and lost touch, with me, Boaz Sasson.



The careful reader will notice that the name Boaz Sasson keeps on repeating itself throughout this short and not very impressive website. Yes, its true, Boaz Sasson is all over this website. Why so much Boaz Sasson all over this otherwise shabby site, you ask? Well, you found me didnt you? Search engines work by reading text and ranking their results by how often the search term is found in a site's title, tags, and text, as well as other more arcane considerations. So, the more Boaz Sasson, the easier I will be to find.

Boaz Sasson Today
I now live in Haifa, Israel. Four months ago I left Jerusalem and moved up north, even though Ive always considered myself a Jerusalemite. The reason I moved up is called Danya, this cool chick I met a few years ago. We met on a bus tour of Arab villages around Jerusalem. The event was sponsored by some student group that favors coexistence and sanity as the ultimate solution to Israel's political problems.

O.K., so whats with Boaz Sasson today? I've had some crazy jobs and weird experiences over the last 15 years, but this isnt the place for it. Send me an email and if I know you we'll catch up.

Contact Info for Boaz Sasson
This site will be updated once in a while, but not all that often. I, Boaz Sasson, don't have that much time. If we met in Jerusalem, the U.S., Thailand or wherever, or just roamed the streets at 3 A.M. on some fine Jerusalem night, please look me up. You can call me at 04 997 3986:

An exciting update! I just moved to the tiny town of Maalot way up in northern Israel, lucky me! Come visit 'cause it sure is boring up here.

 

[jenn1381]

I'm sorry, but I fail to find the humor in a website of any kind preying on the weakness of today's society for financial gain. Three years ago I might have been one of the one's who was sucked in and thought that gambling would solve all my problems. Someone going into debt, losing their house, car, family, and life, is funny how? Yes, everyone can make their own decisions and if you choose to gamble away your life savings you have no one to blame but you. However, these "stories" are obviously targeted in order to help people along with that.. to give them false hope. How many games do you know of that cure cancer? ADHD? Depression?

In the end, it is shady and just plain wrong to advertise in this manner. If you can't get the players based solely on good customer service and running a good, clean casino (and what gets me, is that they HAD this and had NO reason to resort to this kind of crap!), then in my opinion you need to be run out of the buisness. I unistalled this group from my PC, and unfortunately when it takes you to the "we're sorry to see you go" webpage, none of the choices were "you're lying scumbags who have preyed on the innocent and weak and I don't wish to have anything to do with the likes of you". So, I guess I'll go fire off an email instead

Now I have the daunting task of finding a new casino or two to give my money to. Off to do some research.

I actually have downloaded 32 red a while back, but I only made a guest account because I heard somewhere that they don't take Neteller instacash. Please tell me I was misinformed! 32 red seems like a great place for me to try, I just hate paying the 8.9%... lol

 

[silcnlayc]

I heard somewhere that they don't take Neteller instacash

Yep, sad to say, they still don't. I usually withdraw to my Neteller or Firepay account when winning and leave a few dollars in there to play at 32Red when the urge strikes me.....but I don't get to play there often for I forget a lot of times they don't have this very usable feature which I love (instacash) , and I too dislike paying the fees for donating to my favorite casinos.

Are you listening Ed? Yes, you have become one of my almost favorite stomping grounds...but we could meet more often if you had "instacash" Then you woud definitely be elevated to a "Most Favorite" list!

He obviously targeted these keywords in the articles even though he denies it and even if he didn't write many of them it was probably his idea to have all the terms involved in the articles (the keywords don't necessarily have to be repeated more than once or twice).

I don't have any problem with him optimising his own website so that people searching for Boaz Sasson find him more easily. I do have a problem with casinos trying to optimize their websites for irrelevant keywords, which is a separate issue from the content of those articles. If I collect antique teddy bears and I search for teddy bears on the internet, then I want relevant results and not stupid stories about teddy bears happily playing blackjack at All Sluts casino. JF polluted the web with these stories and made it a less useful resource for all of us, probably with relatively little gain for themselves. It is similar to polluting the environment or to stealing traffic signs to sell them for scrap metal.

 

[spearmaster]

Well said, Grandmaster.

 

[sirius]

When I highlighted what he wrote on his webiste I meant to show that the casino articles were probably all his idea and maybe he wrote a lot of the articles himself.

OMG, Paul--I nearly choked laughing at your post. Hysterical stuff.

For the non-US people, we have a television ad here for an insurance company featuring a couple of cavemen and a non-caveman eating at a fine dining establishment. Paul quoted a bit of this ad. Unless you've seen the ad, Paul's bit probably loses something, but for those of us who see the spot 20 times a day, well...

We take it from which it comes. An individual that just admitted he was involved in such a harmful, greedy and selfish SEO campaign.

Among other things, my job consisted of managing content on JF sites. This content included short stories written by and for the clients target demographic. The content succeeded to both entertain and convert visitors. In other words, these stories were mostly written by women and aimed at pleasing other women.

This is complete crap and I hope you realize that. The SEO done here was absolutely targeted at ranking for keywords related to people doing searches for help with problems in our related industry. This was well targeted for someone that was greedy.

Our writers were encouraged to write the fluffy and amusing stories we knew our visitors enjoyed.

Only thing fluffy and amusing here is your lame attempt to get JF out of this hole they are in.

I came to rely on a robust method for checking and approving that content. This obviously failed.

The JF account was rather aggressive due the intensive nature of the competition in the wonderful world of online gaming.

You are talking to some experienced webmasters and online marketers. Do not underestimate the intelligence of the members here. We are competing in this exact same competitive environment for a living, and none of us have to apply techniques used by you. Not that it will work for SEO with regards to competitive keywords due to Latent Semantics. My main issue here is, how on earth can you work as content manager and take that responsibility, screw it up and then have the audacity to make as if the members of this forum are a bunch of vindictive idiots that are flaming a casino for no reason.

We are having a discussion here about a casino you seemingly single handedly managed screwed up! A casino BTW some of use supported whole heartedly. Learn from the masters like 32 Red, who manage to be very trusted and supported as well as have the same software as you! You screwed up!

Whether or not you are a real person remains to be seen. Although there are evidence on Google that you do exist and was employed as content manager. JF still caries responsibility and needs to come to the table on this issue. You are now in a position where you have no alliances and need to respond publicly about this issue.

 

[dominique]

Ok, lets put aside the moral aspect for a moment.

Let's get professional and talk SEO.

Your content is lousy from an SEO aspect. It consists of irelevant keywords, overuse of relevant keywords and fluff and little else.

This is what google itself has to say about the things in these stories:

Don't load pages with irrelevant words.

If a site doesn't meet our quality guidelines, it may be blocked from the index

This type of SEO will work in cheating your way to the top of an engine, but for a short time only.

It has no staying power.

A casino like the ones JF has wants to be in business for the long run. That is why they have not cheated players or affiliates or anyone I know of.

Now they put such trashy stuff on their sites, trashy enough from even an SEO perspective, to get the casino excluded from search results.

What sense does that make?

Additonally, this sort of nonsense hurts the image of the industry immensely. We really don't need that, we try to self police and keep things on the straight and narrow .

This sort of drivel is not what gets you good engine rankings and keeps you there.

Sites like CasinoMeister, GoneGambling and GamesandCasino have solid, good engine rankings.

Why? What is the difference?

They were built for the user, the player. They aim to give the visitor exactly what they came for. THAT is good, durable SEO. And in the end, that is what google rewards.

All the little SEO tricks like getting indexed under irrelevant keywords are bad for the site in the long run.

In SEO, what goes around, comes around.

So, this was not only a moral fiasko, the SEO itself was equally bad for a place that would like to be here for the long term.

JF should be glad this stuff came out before they suffered the consequences of bad SEO.

 

[Pinababy69]

Ok, lets put aside the moral aspect for a moment.

Sorry Dom, but that's what this whole issue is about for me. Pretty hard for me to set it aside. As a business person, maybe you can overlook it. As a human being, I can't.

 

[dominique]

Pinababy, sorry, you missed the point of my post.

I was not discounting the moral problem, quite the opposite.

I was setting it aside to look at an additional problem with the writings of Boaz , since he adresses "other professionals".

By no means am I minimizing the ethical depravity of those writings.

Sorry Dom. Thanks for the clarification. That's what I get for doing three things at once.

As to Boaz addressing "other professionals", he's grouping himself into that category I would assume. Well Boaz, alot of descriptive terms come to mind to describe you, but professional would be about last on my list.

 

[vinylweatherman]

Explains?

This type of SEO will work in cheating your way to the top of an engine, but for a short time only.

Is this why 20+ different sites all full of this C*** had to be made up?

Once the engines ban one, another rises to take it's place.

 

[Pinababy69]

Two weeks today since this started, and there is still loads of this stuff floating around. The infamous keno site is still up and running. Couple of excerpts.

I always felt like I really should have been making more efforts to get a job but the last three jobs I had been in were so boring, I did not think I could face it again. But what was I going to do? I mean I had to be responsible. I had a lot of bills to cover and I needed to treat my wife well; why should it just be her going out to work every day? One afternoon, as I was contemplating such things like this, I suddenly remembered my mate Jack who I drank a few pints with every Tuesday had bought the whole pub a round because of his wins on keno. Jeremy, mate, you have to try this keno. Keno is not like it used to be; I can tell you that. I never thought that I could make such a fortune just by selecting a few random numbers but that was what happened with keno. And he proceeded to prove his point by showing me his checj.

See how I can play keno day and night

I figured I had to give it a go. Jack said keno was a lot of fun too and I would never be bored (he knew that had been my main problem at work). I smiled and went off to play keno. I selected 12 numbers on my first keno game, all of them came up and I went out and bought my wife a beautiful ruby necklace! Now I realize that I can play keno day and night because it is a far better money maker than any job and I am guaranteed practically that I will never find it boring!


And this one is priceless, it actually advocates quitting your job to stay home and play keno.

Read about when I decided to download keno

I really wanted to quit my job already. I had been working as a manager in a supermarket for at least 12 years and while it was okay, the pay sucked. But how on earth (with my crazy schedule looking after a family) would I be able to quit it and get something else that paid? I started gambling a little bit. I did not think I would make all that much but I figured it could be fun. And it was. But then I decided to download keno as I had heard there was a great Microgaming casino on which it was really lucrative to download keno. So I checked it out and I did download keno and I was really happy I did.

Check out the bucks I made when I went to download keno!

Boy, there were real bucks to be made. If you decide to download keno and you do so at a Microgaming casino, then you can do really well. There was so much money to be made, between the payouts and bonuses. In fact, after just three weeks of playing this download keno version, I had more money than I needed to quit my job, which I did! So if you want to quit your job and make money at home in a fun way instead, download keno on this Microgaming casino today!


Surely two weeks time is enough to have ALL, and I mean ALL, of this crap taken down? And where is the JF General Manager? He's certainly not working on getting rid of this stuff. If he were, it would be gone. How hard is it to take a site offline? I bet if I go and check out that list of sites I posted quite a few pages back, that they are all up and running. Business as usual at Crackpot Factory.

This is from the online keno site. So if I'm reading this right, there could conceivably be thousands of links to this garbage all over the internet. And on any type of site. It certainly explains why they don't want to take these sites offline doesn't it? Seems they fully intend to get their money's worth.

First one I searched, found this gem. It's probably been posted before, but bears repeating....as it is surely one of the most misleading.



Internet Casino Cure

Are you so tired of hanging around? Do you want more excitement in your life and don't know what to do? Why not solve all your woes in one full swoop? Yes, I have the cure - and it doesn't involve any pesky anti depressants or expensive getaways. Why not try an internet casino cure? Just 2 weeks at a good internet casino will cure you of your woes. Trust you me, this really works. Don't believe me? Well maybe this testimonial from Janice in San Diego, California will help convince you: "I was feeling so down. I didn't know what to do. Then I heard this commercial on TV for All Slots internet casino. They said they could cure my depression. I figured, what the hell, anything will be better than what I'm feeling now. So, I went to All Slots internet casino and started playing. At first I started slow - you know, a few slots here and there - nothing big. Not too much changed at first. And then one day - BANG - I won an internet casino jackpot! Can you believe it -little ole me winning an internet casinos jackpot? It was too much to believe! And you know what, it cured me of my depression because I realized that I can win and that I am worth something. I felt like a professional card counter at a black jack game. Thanks All Slots internet casino, you saved my life!"


Boaz, you must be so proud to see your handiwork so effectively saturating the internet.

Is this why 20+ different sites all full of this C*** had to be made up?

Once the engines ban one, another rises to take it's place.

You got it.

There is "blackhat SEO" that uses programs that can create tens of thousands of these type sites. Google keeps throwing them out and they make more, over and over and over agan....

 

[dominique]

Two weeks today since this started, and there is still loads of this stuff floating around.

Yep, for the reasons explained above, they have to make a ton of this crap in order for any of it to survive ....

I understand Dom, but my point was that those excerpts I posted are from sites that I posted LAST week. We've been told over and over how it's all been removed, or being removed. How long does it take to take a website offline? All of those sites I posted are nothing BUT this stuff, no reason for them to even still be up and running is there? Other than to continue to garner more hits? Oh, and all the links that they've paid for on God knows how many thousands of sites that lead back to these ones. Can't have people clicking on dead links.

 

[dominique]

Yeah, it's a really dirty campaign.

 

[GrandMaster]

Two weeks today since this started, and there is still loads of this stuff floating around. The infamous keno site is still up and running. Couple of excerpts.

Where do you keep finding this stuff? Bigflashcasino.com, casino--gambling.us, online--keno.com are either offline or give a MySQL server error.

 

[Pinababy69]

Well, isn't that funny GM? When I posted those..I believe two were from the keno site, the other was from the casino--gambling.us site. I just now tried, and as you said, neither one will load. Well, I'd say they have someone sitting here...or maybe they're clairvoyant. Or maybe a week later, they've finally gotten around to doing what they should have originally.

I'm sure I'll find more. I should be getting paid for this JF, don't you employ people to look after this stuff for you? And GM is still waiting for his consultant's fee as well, for his tech advice.

 

[dominique]

I should be getting paid for this JF, don't you employ people to look after this stuff for you?

Apparently not or there would not have been a problem of these proportions.

 

[jetset]

And where is Boas and his disclosures? Surely he has some idea where this rubbish is and can be persuaded by JF to assist in cleaning up the mess if the commitment to do so is real?

 

[tencardcharlie]

I feel kinda' sorry for you Boaz. Can't be easy having to deal with petty matters like this one, being a big shark and all. Therefore, as a small gift to you, I wrote a story that you may use free of charge in your advertising. Enjoy.

How I screwed up marketing online casino games and refused to admit it

I could not get a decent job so I applied for a job advertising online casino games. I was so excited when I got the job as the chief spammer at All slots casino. Advertising online casino games was easy. All I had to do is put the words and phrases like online casino games everywhere in texts like this one to spam the search engines. Me and my staff came up with thousands of pages about online casino games. Some of them told stories about people who escaped depression and financial troubles by playing online casino games. This was great, because now tons of suckers would try to solve their troubles by playing online casino games and lose all their money on the online casino games.

Sadly, some player on a forum about online casino games found out about what we were doing and when the players of online casino games heard the story they where furious. I tried to calm them down by posting a bunch of insults against webmasters that run sites about online casino games, as well as players of online casino games. That didnt help at all. The people on the board about online casino games just got even more upset. Everyone still hates me for my campaign about online casino games. All I have left is the money I made from writing ridiculous stories about online casino games. I think I will spend it all playing online casino games. I certainly deserve it.

Kind regards
Online cas... wait, I mean - Boaz

HAHAHAHAHAHA

That is most probably the best read I had in ages. I think I am popping this page a backlink about online casino games. I am confident it will rank well for online casino games then.

 

[maxfalcon]

I'm really speechless. It's just simply unbeveliable. I've been pointed this thread today by someone who visited one of my websites. Maybe it was a member of the forum. I've read all the 40 pages (three hours, thanks guys...)

The 'article' about cancer is the lowest thing I've ever seen in this industry. How can you psychologically manipulate persons in desperate situations, to play at an online casino, or anything else? They are persons that do not care of humans, and only care about themselves.

I'm waiting to see the final truth about this issue. I will take all actions necessary. In the course of promoting JF casinos since the last year, I've always only got good feedbacks from my subscribers. What are the exact facts and the exact responsability/link of Jackpot Factory in this campaign? I'm firmly waiting for the eCogra study.

A question that should be asked now is, how many new downloads and how much in new deposits is this nasty little campaign generating?

Yes, exactly what I was thinking while reading the thread.

Well, to conclude, this is the kind of thing that gives me the envy to quit the online gambling world, but I bet that those sort of individuals and disgusting acts are not limited to this field...
