1) Tradal has been contacted to have http://gambling.dolev-yomel.com/ stop scrapping.
2) http://www.money-poker-club.info/onl…-resource.html . Referred by Greek on April 17. Has been contacted and funds are suspended until we hear back from him and get proof that the scrapping has been cleaned up. If we do not hear back from him, the account will be closed down.
3) http://www.online-casino-dot.com/casino-games.html – Referred April 20th, by Dominique. Same actions as for #2.
4) http://www.poptshirts.com/Casino-Reviews.aspx – this guy seems to be using SE results to use on his page. I can’t seem to fund any details about him on whois. If anyone else has, I’ll be glad to contact him.
Let me know if I missed anything so I can take care of that as well.
Greek, if you are reading this – I cannot answer your PM since your account is set as “away”. You can email me at [email protected].
Thanks

I think this is a good start.
I also think the accounts should be shut down, period.
Why?
Because these same people operate literally tens of thousands of sites. Making them close down one site is nothing. It doesn’t help.
You scrape, you are out. That needs to be the policy.
Think of the harm 888 is doing the industry. On one hand 888 helps fund eCOGRA, a nice attept to legitimize the player side of operations.
On the other hand it pays scrapers to put 888 ads under all sorts of keywords that have nothing to do with gambling, throwing your casino front up in the face of people looking for all kinds of innocuous things.
Scrapers aim to get one click a site. They don’t care how many thousand people close their browser in disgust.
Do you really want to support that?
Having the affiliate remove one of the tens of thousands of sites that s/he operates is like pissing in the wind! The drops will fall back in your face.
That said, I am totally opposed to removing 888 from CAP at this time. This platform of communication is too valuable – still. I hope we wll see some meaningful action soon, or I may join the voice of the folks who, justifiably so at this time, call for 888’s removal.
