Building 1000s of scraper sites is not fair competition!
It is not only unfair competition, it cements the bad attitude search engines have towards casino ads!!!!
It is really bad for the industry because it pretty much ruins search results all over. They are even penetrating state run lotteries and such. Do you really think this is good business?
State lotteries are one reason why the US has not been able to pass a real anti online gambling law. Do we really want to piss the lotteries off? They are quite powerful, and in Europe they have been instrumental in banning online gambling. Some industry folks here are actively working with them – do you even contribute to these efforts? Or just ruining their SE listings?
Sometimes today’s penny in the pocket is tomorrow’s poverty. We need to look ahead, and we need to behave like responsible business people, and not upset those whom we need as allies! And we all need search engines and lotteries and you need affiliates.
If all of us went and built 1000s of scraper sites, what do you think it would do to our industry?
You got it, search engines would completely ban our listings.
Wake up!
