By creating an exclusive email I become privy to when a casino sells our email addresses to other casinos. This sort of action is a symptom of a much bigger problem. The people that run the casino have no ethics, loyalty or for that matter any kind of business sense whatsoever.

At best our email addresses are worth about a buck apiece (updated to note they are probably worth more now but not a lot more) and that is at best. If a casino is willing to sell out their players privacy for a dollar a shot... you should avoid that place like the plague because they won't think twice about screwing you.

There are many aspects and angles that go into my decisions on which casinos I allow to advertise on my sites that many may not have ever thought about. And the above email privacy issue is a good example. You may not see a casino you expected to see on my approved list ... just because I caught that network involved in some kind of shady dealings towards the players. I don't like the idea of a casino network being so thoughtless of its customer base as to ever sell this private information such as email addy's and home addresses as well. I've even heard of some casinos cold calling people at work. The only way they got that information was from a casino database.
