Big Dollar Spam

[AussieDave]

Never heard of this joint but received spam from this place!
Here's there truly professional delivery:

Hi,

Please send me your Skype ID to start promoting our casino and binary options brands,

My Skype ID bart.andrews_1

Regards,
Bart Andrews

Couple of questionable statements from their AboutUs page:

Big Dollar is a pioneer of online gaming affiliate programs.
Shaped by professionals, this site is the world’s biggest goldmine

professionals do not spam!

Big Dollar has been around for years and used to be part of the Brightshare program.

If you get in touch with them ask what they did with all of our old players lol.

 

[PaaskeUK]

Havent been contacted by them yet LOL but thanks for info I will tell him to stuff it!

Really? That must have been a VERY long time ago.
Last I heard (around 2008) they were part of the Grand Prive bunch of rip-off scumbags.

I too have had the same spam as the OP and a few days earlier I had this from the aff program:
"Since you’re not active on the GrandPrivé Affiliate programme,i would like to invite you to partner with us in promoting our 5 power brands."

To which I replied:
"Since you are a bunch of thieving scumbags, I would like to invite you to go and jump off a cliff.

lol KK,

I want to say it was around 2002-2004 that they were with Brightshare.

Nice reply.

I could be wrong but don't believe this is the same BIG Dollar affiliate program that was connected to Brightshare.
The website carries a copyright for 2014 but that means jack. The url is: bigdollar.pro

So maybe it is the Big Dollar Affiliate program, who was connected to Brightshare and has ties to Grand Prive!

Yeah, I got the same email worded in exactly the same friendly and personal way.

Of course, I was so pleased with this warm, agreeable approach that I signed up immediately and pledged to do everything in my power to promote their fantastic casinos. Oh no...wait! I seem to have mistakenly added them to my spreadsheet of 'brands never to work with ever under any circumstances'. How odd!

 

[TheGamblingGuru]

BigDollar.pro and their 2 casinos are Topgame I believe and the Big Dollar casino that was once on Brightshare is now run on BetOnSoft, recently renamed to (saucify) and is run on the toprefer.com program. Not sure if there's a connection or not though.

Interesting that they chose that name...

You will not find a single word in their terms that spam is prohibited for Big Dollar. It's only prohibited for the webmaster.

Well, ...

Hey guys,

Just want to clarify a few things for you. It was me who sent the mass- mailing, but in no way either me, or bigdollar meant to spam anybody. That email was sent for informational purposes only - just to inform people in the respective niche that we have launched 2 online casinos and the affiliate program for that.

If any of you would be interested in cooperating - please drop me a message or post here.

Regards,
Bart Andrews

So, where did you get my email address from, then?

So, where did you get my email address from, then?

We operate in the investing niche too - and it seems you have registered on one of our affiliate programs there. As I said, we only reach out to people who in some way worked with us/ are working with us. But if you are not open on new partnerships and you don't want to monetise your casino traffic atm that's perfectly fine.

The mail was short and concise on purpose -not to trouble anybody with redundant information. People who got inquisitive - received those warm- approach emails you mentioned

Please also bear in mind the email was sent out a single time only - so in any way nobody was spammed with any offers.

 

[pdjoe]

Hi Bart,

Just out of curiosity can you list the programs you work with for us?

Thanks

 

[tryme1]

Thanks for your reply, Bart. I work with a few binary programs - well, more accurately, I tried some without much luck. As PDJoe asked, which programs do you work with.

It really shits me how spammers think that by only sending one email (and a short one too!) that its not spam. It is a commercial email sent to someone that did not ask for it. Unsolicited commercial email. It is the very definition of spam.
