I don't have a problem with additional review, but I do have a problem with the ongoing misrepresentation of the issue. Here are some quite alid criticisms:
- Problem gamblers were targeted with search engine manipulation.
- Middle to upper management likely was aware of or turned a blind eye to unethical seo practices.
- Problem gamblers may have believed the textual fodder.
- Jackpot Factory properties ranked artificially high in searches where they didn't belong.
- The group was slow to take action when the problems were presented.
Here are some invalid ones:
- There was a campaign to mislead players into thinking that gambling would improve their lives.
- Management knows everything going on in the organization, and therefore they must have approved of the content.
There are no absolutes in this industry. Problem gamblers are the life blood of even the most responsible of casinos. And likewise, even the rogues are not without some redeeming factors. (and eCOGRA is not entirely useless ) Everyone needs to form their own opinion. Mine is that this issue is serious, but less serious than what some others are walking away from with not much more than a slap on the wrist. Clearly in these parts, my iew is in the minority.
If that hasn't made me unpopular enough, I might add that I believe the culture on this forum of self congratulation is leading to some irrational judgement. One of the strengths of a forum is that while everyone doesn't agree, at least one can hammer out a sort of consensus from reading the thread. In my opinion, far too much emphasis is being placed on personalities and not enough on facts -- this actually applies to some other threads more than this one, but I see some of that here too.
