Looks like a word with Fortune is in order.
They are gone until morning due to the time difference, but I’ll try to remember to contact them.
That is actually at slickstreet tag. So it is not affiliate but paid marketing. I am sure fortune will bring it to Slickstreet’s attention.
So how does that work – Are you saying that Fortune has paid slickstreet to market their product and slickstreet is spamming?
Heh – Crazy – Course I believe Fortune is aware of this issue – and must not have a problem with it as I have contacted them with full headers of more than a dozen emails.
The spam is arriving thru one of my non-gambling websites so I dont know how I was targetted to receive it – I just want it to stop! The unsubscribe feature doesnt work as I tried it prior to attempting to settle the issue by contacting the casinos.
Didnt Fortune also utilize spyware advertisements as well?
I know as a player, I get email from them constantly and I cant begin to tell you how many times I’ve removed myself from the list!
2 more SPAMs today!!!!
Ive NEVER signed UP with these morons – they are using a spider to crawl the web for emails obviousely as they are spamming several email addies from my site …
This is for the birds – thanks to morons like this our biz is in so much negative light! :angry:
Send me the headers.
Or pm me for the tools to remove.
Here’s my headers:

So Slick Street prob bought a email marketing campaign and the person they bought from is spamming.
Most casinos have both affiliate marketing and media marketing.
and they dont have a problem with that?

Last ip in the header.
Very likely the anonymous proxy used.
I dont believe hers was sent via slickstreet – her headers look totally different than mine.
As for the spam – it continues to fill up my box – Ive used the unsubscribe feature again and again – it NEVER removes me!
I now have forwarded the mail back to the casino(s) and CC [email protected] & [email protected] … Next option WILL be an all out mailbomb sure to knock out the walls of their box!
I guess its time to use technology and put an end to slick street and the fortune lounge casinosssssss!
I am sick and tired of their spam!
I was talking to another webmaster last night who realised his server was a bit bloated.
He discovered over 68 MILLION spam clogging up various mail boxes, he figured they had arrived at the rate of about 12 million a month!
I figure spam takes up 98% of my mail these days.
yah – I was using mailwasher – I also tried to conceal my email addies using JS hasnt worked … I was receiving thousands upon thousands of emails every day – was taking me better part of 2 hours to go thru it all even with all the filters – I still had to connect to delete it!
2 weeks ago I totally disabled my email accounts on several sites – they cant spam me now! course now when someone tries to send email to those sites thats legite I wont get it either!
Worth the price for me though – really sucks!
As for Fortune Lounge – you all know what I think about them – they screwed me over as an affiliate they wont get away with spamming me – Im about to declare an all out war!
Arkyt,
If it got so bad you had to close down the accounts it’s likely someone targeting you to annoy you or take revenge.
Thousands upon thousands of emails every day is not normal for the worst of spammmed adresses.
