Ftwbtc came here as a "Member" and he just nicely wanted to participate in our campaign.
I told him that we don't accept "members" but he wanted to wear our signature without getting paid per post.
He is a big fan of the Betcoin.ag because he know that Betcoin.ag is one of the best.
I really hope you look into the links I sent you, I think you will find it very eye opening. ftwbtc is playing the role of the person you described. He is a shill, likely the same person who posts as Betcoin.ag noobtc is the same person as ftwbtc. Read the links, if you don't understand something, ask. If you find something I missed, let me know, I make mistakes too.
Also if Betcoin.ag Management was offering some tickets for reviews about them, what's wrong about that? Ask people for a review is wrong in your opinion?
Yes, I think the way they did it is absolutely unethical.
But you don't have to take my word for it:

A few responses:
well, it is obviously a wrong thing to do. some of the campaigns suggest their users to leave a feedback on their user trust or in the announcement thread but forcing it is wrong.
and worst of all is paying them to leave feedback, because in that case all those feedback become worthless even if they are legit business.
This is a form of bribery and is definitely not ethical at all. Users shouldn't be paid to do positive reviews at all, it would just mislead users in thinking that majority of the users enjoys gambling at the website. It would only be right if the user is requested to write their own honest opinion about the site. This can't be detected easily though, gambling sites can still privately contact users for positive reviews.
in my own opinion, unethical way to promote he site but it is still owner rights to do for his business, we can admit that players reviews will attract many customers that's the way gambling was made. no offense to anyone but for me they just need to do whatever is necessary to continue business.
However, if noobtc account is an alt of ftwbtw I'll do my own own investigation.
I'd be very interested interested if you come to a different conclusion than me. I'll happily apologize and drop it if there's something I've missed or someone proves me wrong.
So far,the main defense Betcoin and other players have used is personal insults or telling me how much they are growing their business because of my posts.
