Title: How to go about people/businesses promoting shady gambling operators
Post by: efialtis on March 19, 2020, 08:00:12 PM
One question quick and dirty - curious what you guys think about it...

Someone (an affiliate site actually) is promoting proven scammers on a website, practically recommending people to sign up with shady gambling operators and deposit money - they have been made aware of it (they should know themselves but ok...) and they obviously dont care at all.

Shouldnt we take some action here? Even if its just a website (affiliate) who is referring people? I mean, how is promoting 1xbit/kawbet and the likes as an affiliate any better?

Thank you very much in advance! I just feel like I am the only one being unhappy with such sites promoting their shit in this forum without anyone caring...

If they are promoting on bitcointalk all we can do is tag the account and open a discussion thread here in reputation to let others be aware of the situation. If it is being done offsite, then not really much to be done.

Bring the issue with enough evidence. They will be tagged by DT so that users can be alerted. Someday ago, bestchange was tagged for the same reason almost, listing so called shady exchange on their site although the feedback on bestchange now has been fixed.

Of course I remember the BestChange drama - in the beginning that escalated mainly due to the fact they launched a sig campaign and didnt use escrow though...

Anyway, I made up a thread on here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5234101.0

Thanks for your support everybody!
