Jesus, this is far worse than Casumo ever were. I really need the original ad Bebo posted because I intend to make a neutral non-ad/link-free video for my viewers and subscribers to share onto theirs. There will be no direct references to CM or people here, just how I became aware of it and what I think of it and advertising in general. As I have decent number of subscribers and many of those have too, I think it would work well and spread. I was going to let it drop after the upset of last Saturday but it's clear this lot have a blatant disregard for proper ethical advertising and control thereof. :(

There is obviously a wall of silence here regarding CR (unlike Casumo's case) but one fact is indisputable: this would NOT be occurring unless people were earning money from CR whether directly or indirectly. Unless people want this industry to turn into a pariah, it's got to stop.

Totally agree
Renee does respond on gwpa which does beg the question, how is that forum good enough for her to post on, but not here. Its not like the casino have a 'no public comments' policy :confused:
 
Before getting too judgemental about this - besides this is just a bunch of garbage on the internet - this also can be construed as negative SEO. None of those Zodiac links are live casino links - so there is no monetary value involved there, but a lot of spammy buzz that could possibly be the result of nefarious activity.

This reminds me of the Jackpot Factory fiasco from days of yore. But that was done by hired SEO guys.

I have a question though Bryan. The original link that I posted, did indeed take you to the CR casino. And if you clicked on any facebook accounts of people that were in the comments, instead of going to the profile of the account, you would go directly to the casino to sign up. That link is now dead. Viralcjnews is now dead. If it was an outside marketing firm that was hired, how was CR able to kill it, and that quick. I can see disassociating themselves that quick, but to kill a " hired help"?

's true Bryan, it most certainly did. I still am very cynical about it being a 'marketing firm' because any decent casino would employ a decent marketing firm that would produce a professional and ethical product, not this amateurish vile stuff in the OP that as said DID link straight to the casino. Despite what has been said here I am still of the opinion that affiliates are involved somewhere along the line. When Casumo had this issue with exactly the same style of marketing strategy I believe they did say it was an affiliate.

In fact it would be easier for CR to blame a rogue affiliate, because to do otherwise would make people question the nutjobs that 'employed' this 'marketing firm' in the first place.

This BS fake advert most certainly DOES link to CR, Mondial Casino to be exact! This is the one initially posted by spoton this morning that reignited this thread. Colin's are a secondary posting and I'll take your word on those as I haven't checked them.

P.S. Yeah, sorry forgot to do my usual corrupting the link there...

I can't be 100% sure on this, but I remember Bryan putting CR on the " reserved" list. I'm not sure if that is still in effect without digging, and I'm not awake enough to do that.:p:

My gut is telling me the same, but I don't think we will ever know. And I'm kind of miffed that Renee didn't say thank you for bringing it to lite. Not even privately. Maybe I'm being too Canadian? lol. I'm really anal about stuff like that :eek:
 
The casino industry needs to step up and bring a greater level of control to the business of marketing. It doesn't matter who's fault it is when the negative PR gets so bad that the business involved loses control of the situation.

I also doubt regulators will care who's fault it is when they rule that a particular advertorial breaches standards, or even worse, is criminal. It is actually illegal to claim that something "cures cancer" unless there re clinical trials to prove this. Dodgy marketing could easily fall foul of this law if they bring cancer into one of their fake testimonials.

Just today, I found another Casumo based campaign, complete with fake Facebook comments plugin. Nothing in bad taste though, it was "secrets casinos don't want you to know, how to win at slots.........", and it was nothing but promotional links to Casumo and Dunder.

I think when they steal stories, pictures and use it to make money, then it becomes criminal. Sadly this last one, there is now no proof. Everything is gone, like it never happened. I should of done screenshots. :(:(
 
Not as bad as the last one, but this showed up in my feed today. I screenshot it this time, and its dated July 7th.

Outdated URL (Invalid)

Sorry, it's dated July 9th. Today. I am not witch hunting you Renee, but I am waiting to hear what CR has to say about this. I use to be a die hard CR player when I first started playing, but I haven't deposited in a long time. After this, I never will.

What am I missing as I can't see a link to a casino (unless it has been removed already of course) :confused:
 
Strange.

I am getting an article headed "6 Ways to Help Your Parents Transfer into Senior Living" and this is how the first part looks like:

I'm getting this.
I deleted the long copy and paste, and shared the screenshot below. I wonder if it's only showing up for Canadians?
 
Ah! The same Irish granny that 'won' at Casumo must have some fucking unbelievable luck as she's now 'won' at Captain Cook's too! Would y'all believe it?!!

Now we know this was an affiliate as Casumo told us, so are CR going to deny still that their affiliates are out of control? Or is this that rather naughty 'promotions and marketing company' again?? :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Shame on Casino Rewards. It's absolutely ridiculous. Like I said it's about time I made a video about this lot, really need a wayback link to that original sick story.

Can Renee convey to us through Max what action has been taken against the idiot responsible, as clearly they still think they're being paid for the CR spam/false advertising.

FTR, if Renee has a specific request I will give it serious consideration but I don't work for CR and am not inclined to do volunteer work for them or anyone else.

Lol. That made me smile, and laugh :P I will ask Renee outright, third party seems to get messed up. Renee, this is not acceptable in any shape or form. What is actually going on? And what steps are being taken to stop it? From where I am sitting, nothing has been done yet, and I hate assuming, so please let us know. Thanks!

A problem seems to be that Renee does not post on the forum , for whatever reason, so I assume that's why Dunover said what he did about dealing through Max - who says rightly I don't do volunteer work ... lol, so not sure how we find out what is happening if anything !

I had to do a search to see why she doesnt post, and found that when Bryan accredited CR last year, he also said that CR doesnt allow for their reps to post in forums.

The only thing I can do is go into my temp files and see if something shows up as a picture. I haven't done any deleting of history in a few weeks. But the original link is dead. This will be time consuming, but doable. I have to leave for treatment in half hour.

I'm pretty sure Bryan said he was going to take this up with Renee at AAC this week. He's not happy either so expect a resolution one way or the other at the end of this.
 
Turns out I was mistaken, Renee won't be at AAC so no meeting with Bryan. It'll still be his decision what to do about this but in the meantime Renee tells me:

  • she's still chasing this through the marketing company. Apparently their organization is rather labyrinthine so tracking down the responsible persons is not a trivial process.
  • the links in post #51 aren't theirs: "They are using images with our brands on them, but there is no links to us whatsoever. So there is no way for us to do anything about those since we don't know who is pushing them."
 
In the interest of spending less time online, I want to bring up an issue that happened a couple of weeks ago.

Prior to this particular thread, a friend of mine who was a former Corrections Canada guard, now on permanent disability posted, but not the links, to a "news" story about a local prisoner and winning a ton of money with an online casino. He just ranted some about it, and while I pm'd him to see if I could track it down, he no longer knew, but I was very confident it was false. For one thing, their Terms of Service is not going to allow hundreds of thousands of dollars go out of their cash without some level of address verification. Let alone multiple prisoners from the same address.

I ran into it online, but for Sasketchewan or Alberta very end of July on my iPad in bed, from a "news" article online.

I didn't really know how to capture things on my iPad, beting relatively new, but I did save the links.

They were all dead the next morning when I wanted to post here.

So I can see that Casino Rewards is taking action as probably thousands of them crop up. I did click link pages, but of course did not use sign-up procedures. While my iPad has never been used for Casino Rewards, my ISP of course has.

AFAIK as of this summer, Luxury Casino is the only CR option available for mobile players anyway.

If Renee would like my assistance for signing up for any offers I do not qualify for without jeopardizing my existing accounts, I'm happy to offer my time.

Unrelated to Casino Rewards, but probably the same marketing company, who is Bingo Liner?

Saw one of theirs last night, and the picture I recognized from an enitrely different story, probably true.
