I'd like to note the originating e-mail address. Inquiries to their CS say don't respond to it, and they are checking with their marketing team to see if this is legit.

I'm just wondering how they got my e-mail address, and why, if it was a scam, would they only ask for only a username and not a password.

I'm also curious to see if anyone else has gotten this e-mail, as to see how this scammer is harvesting the e-mails.

I would hold on responding pending confirmation that their marketing team was not involved - it wouldn't be the first time that the left hand didn't know what the hell the right hand was doing in an online casino.

On the other hand this could be a phishing attempt - why would the casino need your user name for this type of *gift*?

Check the email address, that email is from Casino-Champs.com and if you go to their website, it is just a frontend to G-FED software (I assume gambling federation?) with the casino name WINNERS ONLINE CASINO - GFED 2

Overall a shady email/casino/software.
