The last few days have been quite difficult as the civilized world comes to terms with the downing of Malaysian Airlines Flight 17 over Eastern Ukraine.
It is still early days yet and it is not for us to speculate exactly what happened or indeed how the international community should move forward.
However there are, unfortunately, some people who lack even the vestige of a moral compass, using a tragedy like this to try to make money like rats congregating around a few discarded food scraps (and that’s an insult to rats).
We’re talking about scams which target Internet users by placing fake tribute pages for the victims of Flight 17, even using the names of some individuals, on the ubiquitous social media site Facebook.
How is this connected to our industry? Well, upon clicking on one of these fake ‘pages’, users will be taken to dubious and bogus gambling ‘sites’.
This is often in the form of a pop-up ads, which have apparently been created by cowboy ‘affiliates’ who aim to take a cut of the proceeds from the equally low-rent gaming site via customized tracking links.
Casino Daily News would like to take the opportunity to voice our disdain for such operators, and reassure our subscribers and indeed any visitors that all of the reputable gaming sites listed here would be equally horrified by these developments.
There is no need to game via underhand channels like these; ignoring such links is the best approach going forward, as starving them of the oxygen of clicks is perhaps the best way to encourage these people to go and do something else more productive instead - like playing in the traffic blindfolded, for instance.
