I must admit that Ive spent 3 days before I decided to post this.
I didnt want to be responsible for what might happen after making this public.
I talked to few people and theyve made me change my mind as all the information I will provide here was found on JackpotSoft website and searching on the Net.
Please notice that I didnt know who these people were before I started digging about them.
Bryan or Ian, dont hesitate to throw this post in the garbage if you feel so.

Man, you dont embarrass yourself with lies.
You clearly say to the entire developer community: Im a thief and I need your skills to steal some good content out there.
Bravo. It worked perfectly if I believe the answers you got and what you've achieved since then.
Well take a closer look at that later.
While I was sticking to your footprints, another name showed up.
On the
, we can see that Julian Zehetmayr is the CEO of the company.
Lets
What do we have ?
The first thing which appears clearly is that Julian is a born spammer.
He starts with DigitalPoint, a SEO forum he got banned from, promoting his previous casino software con, LucraMedia (website is already down):
He continues with Yahoo Answersthe experts answer is enlightening for the newbie operator:
No one can stop him so he goes on with the StartCasino forum where he gets, like always, the treatment he deserves:
He tried before with another profile but got busted by Jeroen:
As Jason Muni, hes looking for developers:
Link Removed ( Old/Invalid)
He is trying to build an online casino, called Win25.com, with the JackpotSoft software.
The website is still in development, the homepage isnt available, but
.
If we dig a little deeper we can find these information related to Julian Zehetmayr.
He was the CEO (he definitely like this function) of Doc-U-host, Doc-U-Design, etc
You can read
about the Doc-u-host scam but
is the most important.
Man, you cant stop keeping coming back again and again, like the villain in the movies.
How do you feel being rejected and banned all the time ?
Cant you just find a way to do things properly and gain some respect from others ?
On the other side,
that Jason Muni is related to another webhosting company, HostGator or GatorHost.
I provide these links for the people who needs to get in contact with Julian, Jason or whatever he calls himself:

Well, now you're maybe asking yourself: OK, these guys are f...... spammers, thats not such a big deal.
Correct, the problem is their software.
Actually, they didnt copy ePlaysoft (like Jeroen thought) but Chartwell, GTS and 90% of their games are stolen from B3W.
Lets have a closer look at their games.
All the games from the
Link Removed ( Old/Invalid) except Fruit Party, Wild West, American Roulette and Blackjack which are from Chartwell, are from B3W.
The games from the
Link Removed ( Old/Invalid) are from Chartwell, B3W and GTS.
All the games from the
are from B3W except Magic Money (Chartwell) and Super Cash Crane (GTS).
In the Casino section, well see 12 games, of which 10 slots (8 from B3W and 2 from Chartwell).
The name of the slots is the same as the original but the worse thing is that theyve stolen the .fla files, so sound and graphics are exactly the same as on the original games.
And they did it that bad, that they've even copied the links from the flash game to the original casinolol
Theyve corrected this bug lately, as today, the link is invalid.
When 2 days ago, I clicked on HELP menu, the rules and the banking button leaded me to Yachting Casino (B3W casino) rules and banking section.
Its funny to see how bad these guys are.
For example, click on the
Link Removed ( Old/Invalid) and watch the original
.
Its a cut and paste job. To use your own terminology from the Getacoder offer, its a clone.
Now, dont be surprised if your new partners insist that you follow them, properly fitted with your new concrete shoes, for a little walk in the Danubes bed.
