slapdash Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Re: pokerroom guaranteed $500,000 It also looks as though they may sell email addresses to spammers (see 4th post). I'm also getting multiple copies of the spam mentioned there, though I don't know for sure that it's because I opened a Pokerroom account. (If I don't want to play at your dodgy online casino, it's not going to make me any more likely to play if you send me three identical emails from different fake addresses every day with a "click here if you don't want to receive any more emails from us" link that just leads to your download page! Idiots!! :@) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GaF Posted January 10, 2008 Share Posted January 10, 2008 Re: pokerroom guaranteed $500,000 This is in their "Privacy Policy"...

I'm presuming this is the standard OnGamew policy and the skin is supposed to replace "SITE" with their brand name, but they've not bothered to do that - indeed I bet they've not even read it!! :wall :wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
