Casumo Affiliate Spam Problem

[JkG]

Actually i didn't even realise there was a progressive jackpot on starburst but this popped up on my news page
I assume they didn't make that poor old lady wager 40x that to withdraw ...Or did they
Sickner for her selfish kids who never visited her in the home.
Maybe that's why i haven't won at Casumo in mths though

I don't play Casumo, but I'm unaware of anywhere that offers a Starburst Jackpot. And most casinos cap max winnings from free spins.

Sounds like false shilling to me, which we've seen before.

Surprised granny is not on the loo at Tesco during a break.

 

[lockinlove]

Mom of 14 children on her last can of soup. LOL.


This is the most shilly article ever

UPDATE: Since publishing this article we received a ton of emails from our readers to thank us for mentioning Casumo's 200 free spins promotion. This was not our intention but it seems we made a lot of our Irish readers rich by doing so and emails are still coming in every day with stories of new jackpot winners.

And didnt casumo have some threads here of numerous millionaires within days here?

Odd.

 

[TheAddict]

Am i just over tired, being the result on the following thoughts;

Im looking at casumo sb slot in real play. And there is no progressive.
The jackpot hit, well, the full screen of bars on the phone and the win amount which was screen shotted, seems to be the exact same amount as her bank statement is showing she withdrew from casumo, while also the casumo banking page is showing 50,000 of that money as bonus funds and the rest as cash funds. So does that mean they let her cashout 50k in bonus funds the moment she hit this win along with the cash balance? That's pretty kind.

Looking at the bet size, and her previously overdrawn bankstatement of -6k into an overdraft, while apparantly living on a pension.. Did she really deposit and ramp it up to max bet?

Why does the 2nd picture of her holding the phone look like its paused where the big win appeared.. and shouldnt the phone holding pic show the same amount of coins left in the balance as the above picture? (Not that ive played on mobile)

If they can confirm she was taking a s*** at the time it come in would be more inclined to beleive it.

Happy to be told im wrong but, hmmmmmmmm.

 

[syntynyt]

aimed at simple minded people, the type that swallow up tabloid news, that in modern times finds enlightenment in sects, that can't discern good vs bad themselves without a Nanny authority like government, TV, the type that is used in masses as maneuver to establish a goal(like now communist/islamic clearly not secular anymore Turkey). so yeah, a lot of fishes prepared to take a chance at starburst jackpot, just that the story could have been a little better written including a heartbreaking moment before the jackpot occurred...

 

[Nicola]

Perhaps the worst article I have ever read. If any of this true I will gladly run through the streets of London naked

"winning over 15x her annual pension in seconds"

I hope I get annual pension that big when I'm 65

Bonus balance £50,000

With £1.25 MILLION wager, that will take some time to get through

Affiliate Tag: btag=655904_95DF84417B2B4EF58A9EA16E4156E540

Hopefully Casumo take action against this affiliate.

 

[jetset]

Badly thought through and prepared. This story just didn't ring true so I did a quick Google on it....nothing. Then I checked out the Casumo site, and the last jackpot news they have up there was a Euro 4.6 million win to a male player on Mega Fortune Dreams (on a Euro 1 spin according to their news page).

My feeling here is that this sort of BS goes beyond ethical and borders on the criminal - Casumo needs to find out who submitted this and fire his/her ass whether direct employee or dodgy affiliate.

Fake news site btw.

 

[jetset]

Casumo rep alerted regarding this thread

 

[CasumoAffiliates]

Hi guys,

Thanks for alerting us about this article, which is complete nonsense. :notworthy

We will inform the affiliate and fix this ASAP.

Also if you have any questions you can always send me a DM to check any info regarding Casumo, I am here 24/7.

Outdated URL (Invalid)

Click bait... As the casumo rep points out its nonsense. She was 5k overdrawn but playing at max bet on starburst? Yeah right lol

 

[dunover]

Yes, if you remember not so long ago there was an article on here concerning an impoverished student who opened an account somewhere and played St*rb*rst raising stakes and winning over 100k in the end (maybe somebody can find this on here?) and many of us posted back what a lot of crap it was and the casino rep/shill mysteriously stopped answering salient questions.

For a start I doubt the woman would alienate her 14 kids like that even if she was in a care home with an infinite supply of Tena Lady and 400k in the bank.

Then of course St*rb*rst is a strange game in that there is no provable and documented incidence of any player getting the full screen of bars, just oddly never seems to happen despite the billions of spins handed out by casinos and taken overall on the poxy game.

Then of course in reply, miraculously Ireland must have had the 'Lucky Angel' descend that day or the benevolent little ginger bastard leprechaun was doing his rounds that night trotting through the bogs of Eire as several others seemed to have dropped in Major Jackpots on other games, coincidentally from Casumo's free spins offer.

If the torrent of bullshit wasn't enough, they couldn't even fake a bank statement properly or a casino cash-out. Nicola, you CAN cash out at Casumo when you have a bonus but pro-rata, i.e. if it's 80% you can cash-out 5/9 of your balance while it's still in play, but a free spin-only would have a 40 or 45x WR (I can't recall the exact amount) so yes it would be void for a cash-out.

Now the tone of the rep's reply here doesn't come across as furious that an affiliate would tarnish Casumo's name with such a pile of crap of a false news story, sort of "We'll have a word" which implies tacit approval for the free advertising and publicity this has created for them.

I would have expected a more definitive 'this idiot will be booted and earn nothing from it for breaching affiliate terms' which cover this sort of false or malicious tripe.

 

[incrediblestuff]

I was really hoping it to be true when i read that remark!

 

[dunover]

I don't think her ambition to become the 21st. century's Lady Godiva was ever serious, given the ludicrous nature of the BS article. I mean come on people! A full screen of bars on St*rb*rst is actually the immediate trigger for all our disbelief without Mrs. C. Nile's bullshit 'jackpot'.

It's the sort of crap you'd hear from Kim Jong in North Korea - "Yesterday we successfully landed two comrades on Mars, and leader of our revolutionary forces General Fook Yu got a full screen of bars on St*rb*rst" (The Pyongyang people's version with the expanding Red Stars).

Can you not remove these people/business if they are spouting outright bullshit to lure weak people into what will often become an addiction. I know very few people who play online slots where it hasnt taken over their life, even the ones who dont gamble heavily still spend 20 hours a week watching streamers.

 

[SlotGrinder]

I think they should def make Starburst Progressive slot 3 stars gets you to the jackpot bonus round where you "almost" get the Mega but sadly end up with the minor for 20x win

Lol, i realise that , it wasn't even a click bait, it came up on a social media feed and i had to have a little LOL and post it here.
The sob story , the massive win as someone pointed out the hilarious wagering requirement yet she managed to cash out.

I'm glad the Casumo rep here has had it brought to his attention . This shit goes on way too much !
Reminds me of those casinos purely directed at women (with a lot of Liebfraumilch , giggling under party streamers while playing starburst and penny bingo and winning jackpots every five minutes )

 

[JkG]

Also. I have given up Casumo. Lol

That article is an outright lie, misleading and false advertising using your name.

 

[PaaskeDenmark]

This affiliate would have caused massive damage to Casumo so only right thing would be to get rid of this affiliate and withhold any earnings from this month forward. Would be the only correct move here this is a disgusting way to try get signups, even that i find it so disgusting that the affiliate could not even see how silly it was??? I would actually go further but i assume you have the privacy laws here but casumo should pass onto others and warn about this affiliate.

Though to the affiliate defence we do not know if the person actually did contact casumo affiliates (his or hers manager ) and asked or provided it to them before publishing. Only casumo would know but I have never seen anything bad tasting commercials from casumo so I would be surprised if someone would had allowed this.

100k on starburst? what was she betting 20k a spin?

You seem to have a lot of affiliates that spam and break rules, yet you never seem to close the accounts, just 'warn' them not to be naughty, which they ignore.

Still waiting a reply to my post here

https://sussexmskpartnershipeast.com/forum...rizk-casumo-dunder-post802205.html#post802205

from December about why you allowed your affiliate to continue spamming me after promising it wouldn't happen again.

Still waiting for this affiliate to be shut down from November - 115385 - links working fine still, never mind how you get your customers, as long as you get them!

Heres another affiliate thats been spamming me recently, funnily enough for Casumo AGAIN, just for you to ignore again

Hi colinsunderland,

Regarding the thread from December 2016, you are removed from that list and it's really strange that you are still receiving the emails.

In addition, you are removed from the second list as well.

I am always available via DM for any additional questions.

My question at the time was why was I still getting spam after you said I had been removed? You should terminate agreements with the spammers you work with as out of all the mainstream casino's I get more spam for you than anyone else.

Theres the email from the recent spammer, no terms and conditions, no mention of any wagering conditions, no unsubscribe link, and I guarantee no genuine proof of opt in from me. How many breaches of various rules & laws does an affiliate have to do before you actually hit them where it hurts and close the account?

A decent casino WOULD close the account, as has been evidenced on here on more than one occasion.

[colinsunderland]

Done, just to be clear, I have nothing against you as a casino, in fact you are easily in my top 3, if you check my account I play there regularly, however I hate spam, and the ONLY way there will ever be a dent in it is if casinos start closing accounts. Your terms and conditions for the affiliate programme are clear, I pointed out multiple breaches the one before xmas had done, yet he's still allowed to promote you, removing people from lists who complain does not work, as the thousands of other people still get the spam.

If all casinos, or even the decent ones from where affiliates make decent money, start closing accounts, affiliates will think twice about spamming. No point spamming if you aren't going to get paid!

[dave1888]

More Casumo affiliate false advertising.

Here's another incidence of false advertising by one of your affiliates Casumo.

Four expanding stars on Starburst when the maximum is 3. So they're actually manipulating the slot to show 4 stars with clever editing or something.

That's 3 crimes by my count false advertising, manipulating netent software/fake game play and video editing to show impossible wins!

I think these affiliates need screening!

 

[Dinahnana]

Casumo needs to be taking a hard stand on these rogue affiliates. They are making Casumo look very bad indeed and ought to have their affiliate deals revoked. Shocking really to be seeing really bad affiliate ads for a respected casino.

Well back in December I even quoted which parts of the affiliate terms and conditions were being broken, yet as the links are still active you have to presume the affiliate is.

 

[rainmaker]

.

If the casino, in this case Casumo, is not willing to stop spam and misleading/false advertisement then it might be worth reporting it to the UKGC.

Some of the examples above are very bad - fake news reports, manipulated images etc.

 

[jetset]

Hear, hear!

Something other than a slap on the wrist is clearly required....and perhaps Casumo needs to read the riot act to its entire affiliate marketing base.

None of this is good for players, Casumo or the industry.

 

[dunover]

I thought Casumo would be above this 'any publicity is good publicity' ethos. Apparently not.

I saw another one on Facebook today. Forgot to screen grab or get the link but it was about "2 huge jackpots in one week in the UK"

These affiliates do not seem to understand the gravity of false promotions like these.

This is not some amusing little game of deception... it is a matter ultimately involving punters' financial choices and therefore demands integrity and respect for those on whom it is targeted.

I'm sure they do understand it
However, what they also understand is, when they do it, if all a casino is going to do is 'tell them off' then the risk is worth it, as they will be making loads of money from it.

What should happen is in my view, for straightforward spam, when requested, the affiliate should be able to show a legitimate proof of opt in (by legitimate I mean something with the customer IP attached and a URL from where the opt in form is hosted at least). If they can't, then, for a first offence, all earnings for that month be confiscated, and any new customers detagged for the same period. The link should also be 404'd.

A second offence should be the same, but for a 6 month period.

A third should be instant termination of the account.

I'm actually being a bit generous there, but does allow for any mistakes to be corrected in case the rules aren't fully understood.

For things like we have seen in this thread though, fake adverts, lies, no WORKING unsubscribe link, any spam that doesn't comply with the laws in the country to which it was sent, or the casino / affiliate is operating (ie UK would be UKGC, ASA, ICO) then the account should be terminated immediately in most cases.

Most of the above is already covered in affiliate agreements anyway, just not enforced, and anything not could be added to the terms & conditions quite easily.

Spam will never stop completely, but if an affiliate knows he is likely to not get paid for any spamming he does, there won't be any point in him doing it. Legitimate affiliates will have nothing to fear.

It's been popping up on Facebook, almost daily. So I'll watch out for it and get all the links.

The odd thing is, that it's being posted by Casinoroom.se, which appears to be the official Swedish Casinoroom page.


Actually, it's just appeared. clicking the advert, opens a casumo advert - address

xxx//track.casinoroom.com/cas-jv-UK-BonusOffer?c1=UK-JV-SUDEAL&c2=IntDTop-M3565-A01&c3=JPPic

and clicking on that, goes to

[colinsunderland]

Your email is removed and the affiliate will change their mailers so they will be within guidelines (with opt-out/unsubsribe of course)

So presumably you will be getting proof of my opt in then, as per mailing guildelines. If I didn't give my consent then it is spam, simple as that. You have my email address, please forward the proof of opt in to it.

If you don't, can you explain why you aren't enforcing this term?

6.2 The Affiliate hereby undertakes, represents and warrants that:

(e) that it will not generate traffic to the Casumo Website by illegal or fraudulent activity, particularly but not limited to by:
(i) sending spam;

6.3 The Company reserves the right to freeze the Affiliates account and/or deduct money from the Affiliate if any traffic is deemed to have been referred through fraudulent means or in breach of the terms and conditions of the Agreement.

or

7.6 The Company may in its sole discretion withhold the payment of any balance to the Affiliate for up to one hundred-and-eighty (180) days if the Company needs to investigate and verify that the relevant transactions comply with the provisions of the Agreement.
7.7 No payment shall be due if the Company has reasons to believe that the traffic generated by the Affiliate is illegal or is in breach of any of the provisions of the Agreement.

or

8.6 The Affiliate shall at all times comply with the Maltese Data Protection Act (as applicable from time to time), the Privacy and Electronic Communications (EC Directive) Regulations 2003 and any other similar legislation. For example, the Affiliate shall always inform its users that tracking technology will be installed on the users hard drive when the user clicks on the Links and provide the user with an option to reject such installation.

Didn't see the part you specifically mention (cookie dropping) on the email anywhere.

The EC directive you specifically mention

One of the key points of this legislation is that it is unlawful to send someone direct marketing who has not specifically granted permission (via an opt-in agreement) unless there is a previous relationship between the parties. Organisations cannot merely add people's details to their marketing database and offer an opt out after they have started sending direct marketing. For this reason the regulations offer more consumer protection from direct marketing.

(edited as quoted the wrong part)

so I would like to see the consent.

As I already asked, how many breaches of the agreement and law breaks does an affiliate have to make before he has his account terminated? I actually have an affiliate account with you, can you confirm if its ok for me to buy non consent mail lists and spam them, and not have my account closed, and if not, why are other affiliates allowed to?

Its in the rules on here that to be accredited

Must not use false, misleading or deceptive advertising.
Must not spam, and must take appropriate actions against any affiliates or any third parties who do spam.

The photoshopped photos throughout this thread are deceptive advertising, and although by affiliates, you should still take real action against them.

The second one, I personally don't feel that the only action being taken, is telling them to remove someone who complained, from the list, is appropriate action. It's not stopping them spamming, just stopping ONE person getting it out of many thousands of people.

Other casino's take real action by closing accounts.

 

[The Dude]

Spot on.

Hi Alex, you need to sort this out right away. These affiliates need to have their accounts terminated - period. No warnings, no slap on the wrists. They know exactly what they are doing. Show them no quarter, and you will gain respect from both the player community but from affiliates as well.

It's not only dodgy, it's in many cases unlawful.
