They are obviously fake but they are there to try and get visitors to that page. What will ecogra (supposedly there for the player) do about this apparent promotion of irresponsible gambling?

Re: Disgraceful Jackpot Factory promotional technique!

The manipulation of "all slots" and "online casino" into the text shows it's an obvious excercise in SEO.

http://www.ecogra.com/eGAP_Casino.doc

The relevant bits:

Quote:

Advertising and Promotions

113.R.1 Advertising media and content as well as promotional activities shall comply with the letter and spirit of eCOGRA.

113.P.1 Operator websites should be in compliance with advertising standards and regulations applicable to the regulatory environments within which they are operating.

113.P.2 All advertising should contain factually correct information.

All these can of course be fudged:

1) The "spirit of eCOGRA" is vague to the point of absurd.

2) Kahnawake have no such standards.

3) They might claim that these stories are genuine, therefore "factually correct".

This'll be an interesting soap opera to watch play itself out.

The response:

Quote:

Hi all,

Please accept an unequivocal apology from myself and the rest of the Jackpot Factory management team for the appearance of these articles on our sites.

These articles were written and posted by an outsourced content writer, who overstepped their bounds and will, of course, no longer be working with us. There was also an obvious lack of appropriate editing and follow-up from our internal staff. There have been some significant changes in our marketing team recently, specifically in the area of content and optimization, and I will be emphasizing to the new team that articles such as these are not to form a part of their future plans.

As I believe most of you know, Jackpot Factory takes responsible gaming and our responsibilities in that regard very seriously, and these articles do not in any way reflect either our policies or our personal beliefs with regards to responsible gaming. All articles which contradict these are currently being removed and I can assure you that this will not happen again.

My apologies once again,

Jackpot Factory General Manager

Jackpot Factory don't appear to be in a great hurry to remove them. In this case it is clear that the files were uploaded intentionally, the question is whether the casino management were simply negligent or the articles had their approval which now they deny. Compared to the English Harbour affair, it is harder to believe that nobody noticed the articles that were on all their websites.

Play the game until caught out, play ignorant, play your own trumpet and play on. govt regulation will actually exacarbate the problem. Your statatutory rights will not be affected.

Why would they? Every extra hour they're up equals another hour's action from the search engine robots. They'll leave them up as absolutely long as they think they can get away with it.

I wonder how eCOGRA will respond to this?

At 11 pm BST, the story still reads thus:

All Sluts Casino Got Me Out Of Bed

I was at a real low point in my life. I had lost my job and on that same day I had found my husband in the bath with my boss's wife. My two daughters were fantastic, but as soon as they were out of the house in the morning, I went straight back under the covers hiding from the rest of the world. A good friend left me a message saying something about all sluts casino online. On the way back from one of my trips to the bathroom, I passed the computer and I sat down and did a search for all sluts casino. I ended up sitting there for the rest of the day. The girls were so happy to see me out of bed when they came home form school.

All Sluts Casino Gave Me A New Beginning

All sluts casino is a really amazing online casino. There are amazing games that you can download and play, with very exciting themes and graphics. You can decide if you want to play for money or not. At first I didn't play for money, but when I saw how easily I was winning I thought it was a shame not to try. So I did. At all sluts casino there are incredible jackpots to be won, and I really needed the money. So at all sluts casino I was having a good time and winning some much needed money at the same time, what could be better than that? Now I Want To Get Out Of Bed In The Morning. Thanks to all sluts casino I have a reason to get up in the morning. I can feel my life beginning to take shape again. My girls now have a happy, functioning mother who now realises that she can get through this rough patch and survive.

Thank you all sluts casino, from the bottom of my heart.

The small alterations were made to confuse the serps, and not intended as a cryptic comment on the situation.

Re: Disgraceful Jackpot Factory promotional technique!

Hang on. They said they were "removing all the articles" EIGHT hours ago. Yet every one is still there.

Here's another - check out how they try to link the deposit facility "Instadebit" into all the same marketing bullsh*t - obviously atrociously done:

Why playing All Sluts Casino with Instadebit is a money maker

How long have you been gambling on line for? Do you regularly visit different on line casinos? What games do you like most? Well, I am quite a gambling on line expert and I am here to tell you that out of all the sites I have tried, All Sluts Casino beats them all. First, I have been gambling for a few years. Second, I spent a lot of time researching all the different on line options out there. Third, I like all sorts of games (especially all slots, wild jack, first web, wild jack poker etc.) and fourth, I always go for the best payouts. Well, I signed up with Instadebit and because I was playing on All Sluts Casino I got an automatic $25 bonus (for doing nothing, absolutely nothing, not even winning!). Then I played some of my favorite games on All Sluts Casino and had fun. And then I started getting all the jackpots on All Sluts Casino. Playing All Sluts Casino with Instadebit is a real moneymaker.

Absolutely f**king unreal. Unbelievable.

Here is another good one that deserves to be saved as a reminder of JF's sleazy marketing:

Play sluts that are easy to win

My mother always used to say to me, Dawn, if something is that difficult, then you are doing something wrong. I used this advice for love. When I thought I had fallen for Marc but the whole time we were fighting and indeed there was nothing easy about being with Marc, I remembered her words and we broke up. The next guy I met, Dan, was a completely different story and 3 months after the day we met, we were married; it was easy to be in love with Dan. So when it came to making money through gambling and initially it was hard, I decided to change tactics. Actually, I fast realized that there was nothing wrong with playing sluts, but there was everything wrong with playing the specific sluts I was playing. These sluts were just hard to play.

Make money playing easy-to-win sluts

So I found other sluts. I found that as soon as I started playing these sluts I was making money. And it was not as if I had suddenly developed a talent for playing sluts and winning either. There was just something about these sluts that made it easy to win. So now, whenever I want to make some extra cash, I go for these sluts as these sluts are easy to make money with.
