New casino bonus spams

**AmeliesDad** · 16/06/2009 12:05

Has anyone else started getting these? Terrible spam emails about signup bonuses for casinos that I have no intention of checking out given the nature of them. But they are all coming to an email address I only used to sign up to William Hill! I thought maybe the UK high street bookies would be above selling your details but obviously not.

Yes I've had a few spam messages to my willhill email address, one today in particular yes.

Is a shame but I've pretty much resigned myself to it, I did seem to have some success complaining about it when Pagebet did the same a while back but generally I think this is the way it goes, probably someone inside gets greedy and sells the data on.

WillHill online operation is (I believe) run by Henry Birch, who is a theif (in my opinion) and cant be trusted (that is a fact) and so it would not suprise me in the slightest if he had autherized the selling of anything he could get his hands on whether it was his to sell or not.

Yeah I get a lot of them, they automatically go to my junk e-mail though.

Is this some reference to Leisure and Gaming? What happened there I had a quick search but didn't find anything other than 'birch did bad at lng'.

lol, yes it is a refernce to when he was CEO of Leisure and Gaming (aka Betshop). Its history now though.

I thought you were referring to Will Hill Online getting into bed with Cpays. A lot of people seemed unhappy with them too.

Interestingly just got pretty much the same spam to my totesport email address.

Do you have a different email address for each booky?

For most of them. That was the plan but I have slipped up a few times. I pretty much use a different email address for everything I sign up for. Either using the + symbol in my gmail account when the site accepts it or just using sitename@mydomain.co.uk which all redirect to gmail anyway. How else would I know who was selling my details

Is there a particular reason you do that? Like bookies collaborating to catch bonus abusers? Or is it just for neatness/convenience?

Cheers
