Newbie Question. Might get flamed but...

[PokerNoob]

I got a question. Lets say I make an informative poker webpage and pokersite links.

I make a fulltilt /bodog/partypoker play table accounts and go to the play tables and "SPAM" people to look at my webpage.

Lets say I continually do this for 5 years. Is there any legal trouble the site can take on me? Or do I have the right to spam at that table if I take a seat at the table?

Your poker account will get closed before you have the chance to make it past day two. Poker Rooms are always on the look out.

Its just unethical, and instead of using the time on that, spend time making your site better. It will really payoff a lot more

[PokerNoob]

See, here is the deal. I get about $500 a month if i constantly spam on the pokersites. I been doing it for over year now with a lot of luck and no banning of my account.

If I dont spam my account I dont make a dime. See my problem? I know its not ethical, but its $500 a month lol. My question is more of the legal sense. I know the pokersites have probably recieved tons of complaints by now, but they chose to do nothing.

Yea they probably haven't done much yet, and that is a fault of the poker site.

For each their own in internet marketing, but to be honest with you, this is a community of hard working affiliates that for the most part everyone does our jobs in an ethical manner. We bust our ass marketing, building lists, doing SEO, and doing conventional internet marketing to send poker sites new players.

No offense, but you're probably not going to get a warm reception or be very welcome in this community.

So basically you have come to a poker affiliate community to tell us that you're trying to directly cherry pick our players off the sites and bring them to other sites under your tracker?

I am pretty sure every poker affiliate and poker affiliate manager here thinks you're an idiot.

From your own quote, ""There's a million ways to make a million dollars, you only have to find one.", well I found the fastest, simpliest, most efficient method to get referrals. So you can call me lazy or unethical and I will agree with you, but to call me and idiot just screams of your jealously.

So think about it logically, you are trying to find poker players who want to sign up to play online poker. What better place then play tables?
It just screams of good business sense to target them.

[adioking]

It's people like you that steal our hard earned players from us by offering rakeback or deposit bonuses to our players.

However, PLAY TABLES shouldn't matter quite as much, although fake money players do convert at a low rate still. Where do you think all of the real money players began?

"So you can call me lazy or unethical and I will agree with you, but to call me and idiot just screams of your jealously."

I'd wager about a gazillion dollars that Jeremy isn't jealous of you in ANY way, shape, or form. Don't piss off the wrong people in this industry.

Oh....and......learn how to spell.

The effort and time you're spending spamming the rooms would be better spent promoting in a different way. Save that money and start something legit.

You want to make money when you're not working. Hence when you stop spamming you make no money. People here could go months without touching their sites and still make 6 figures.

Later

I really have no need to get in a pissing match with a spammer but:

I get about $500 a month if i constantly spam on the pokersites

Congratulations on your $6K per year income. I can say with 100% accuracy that I am not jealous. You sir are not very intelligent and when I wake up tommorow I'll probably ban your account just on principal. Next time you should at least lie and inflate the number a bit so you don't look like such an idiot.

Furthermore your I.P. address is 68.102.31.144. I hope every poker operator reads this and bans it so that you stop stealing players off their networks. Cheers
