Offline Spamming

Prenut · #1 02-09-2005, 04:27 PM

I have been going to bookstores the last week putting cards in books, and also going to stores putting them near poker related merchandise. I tend to feel a bit creepy at times, and I am always looking around to make sure no one is watching me. Anyone else feel the same way? Anyone been busted putting them out?

It reminds me of my first days in poker promotions, when I admittedly was an online spammer. Spamming actually brought me about 10 RMP's a month, but felt quite sleazy doing it. Also, you have to walk on eggshells with the affiliate department if anyone reports you. Be honest guys, did anyone else get their start by spamming? At Empire alone I have 50 RMP's and another 125 play money accounts strictly from spam. As you see, spam conversion rates are also quite high.

Hey I know that feeling....

I have had it for several years... I used to feel bad when I told I promoted online casinos and gambling. A few times some companies has refused to do a voice over or design job for me online because they felt gambling was a sin...

I don't feel bad anymore gambling isn't any more bad then the crap television.. it is a form of entertainment and thanks god is is getting more accepted thanks to poker...

Now im all biz minded and focused...

When people ask me they can hear in my voice I am proud and the fact I am proud stops the crazy fbi alike questions!

Only took me 5 years to convice my friends and family what I do is just as important/usefull as their 9-5 crap jobs!

usually makes them stop arguing hehe

I had this happen to me today. I guess he was a recovering addicted gambler and didn't want to "impose" that on others. I guess I just have to respect his views.

What are some of the legal issues you have to worry about with offline spamming? Is there anything they can do about someone placing business cards in their products or in their bathrooms?
