Lazy Webmaster Bonus Scrapers

[slotplayer]

Thank you for your feedbacks, first we'd like to say that we have great respect for AGD forum, members and other affiliate sites, we're taking these feedbacks very seriously and learn from them.



The fact that a bonus code is created after a specific domain name does not mean it is exclusive for that site, what makes a bonus exclusive is that the bonus can be technically redeemed only by registering from a specific tracker.

Many times we've came across affiliates who said they've created an "exclusive" bonus for us called - THEBIGFREECHIPLIST for example, and after we checked it we noticed that even players who signed up from other sites were able to redeem that specific code, so even though the bonus code is named after our domain name, it is not exclusive or connected to our affiliate tracker only.

With that being said, Please understand that our goal is to offer our users valid bonuses and good user experience, we do not wish to promote exclusive bonuses of other sites because this will result in poor user experience since these bonuses wouldn't work.

We spend A LOT of funds and efforts in making sure we filter our content correctly so that our visitors will enjoy visiting our site.

As mentioned above, we respect other affiliate sites and believe in fair competition, we're sure that a lot more needs to be fixed on our end and we are working on that.

We're open to get messages from anyone who believe our actions are unfair.. and we'll do our best to make it right.

Thank you,

True, if its not tied to your affiliate id then its not exclusive, its generic. The bonus code name does not mean too much other than maybe for a little marketing.

These days I would not put it past programs to say its 'exclusive' when its really not.

Hello thebigfreechiplist

I have an exclusive code for Karamba.
Following this topic, I asked my manager, she said that the code was only by my tracker.

Why it's on your site?

Thank you

Hi,

Are you sure you are not confusing with another site? We're unable to find that bonus on our site..

Can you please share the link of the bonus "PLAY15" that you found on our site for Karamba Casino?

Thank you.

Hello Celena,

Our site's domain is thebigfreechiplist DOT com, the site which you've mentioned is bigfreechiplist DOT com.

If you'll read our last posts on this thread you'll see that we mentioned that we are in NO WAY related to the site bigfreechiplist DOT com, this site is trying to copy our brand and website by purchasing a domain brand name similar to ours.

You can try and contact bigfreechiplist DOT com to remove that bonus but I don't think they'll reply.

Good luck.

@thebigfreechiplist.com , you have my code on your site.

The code works only if players sign up through our trackers.

Please remove it from your site, thanks in advance

 

[slotplayer]

who copied who's domain?

 

[Bonus Paradise]

Interesting; we posted our code for Club World on April 8th 2016
http://bonusparadise.com/forum/threads/club-world-casinos-20-no-deposit-bonus.30732/

On your site, it also says April 8th....Well, you guys are fast!!!

 

[celena]

Hello,

Fast for me also, I had the bonus yesterday
http://www.thebigfreechiplist.com/bonus-codes-Grand-Fortune-Casino/1
Bonus code : JOS50

 

[dfiocch]

Uh, oh...

found our code too: DF133 (lol this is real exclusive - my initials + amount )

https://www.freeextrachips.com/bonuses/grand-fortune/133-free-spins-id2186 (our)

hxxp://www.thebigfreechiplist.com/35103/133-Free-Spins-at-Grand-Fortune-Casino/

Edit.

Raging bull too.
Code: DF155

https://www.freeextrachips.com/bonuses/raging-bull-casino/155-free-spins-id2184 (our)

hxxp://www.thebigfreechiplist.com/35105/155-Free-Spins-at-Raging-Bull-Casino/

The funny thing is that Miles asked me:

"What text in code you prefer?"
"Bouch... initials + amount? Would be fine?"



So, this is not casual...
BTW, if you can remove them from your site would be great. Many thanks.

I have just found 7 pages of results using my code... casinobonus and casinobonus2 the biggest culprits.. some of these guys have 37 million backlinks ... complete junk sites or maybe they really are just that popular.---

Seems this scraping (errr stealing) of exclusive bonus codes is rampant. It's an industry within itself.
TheBigFreeChipList has been found guilty of conducting such practice.

Instead of accepting the fact these exclusive bonus codes are exactly that (exclusive to 1 site).
He wants to debate that fact, using quasi logic, to defend using them on his site.

He's playing this entire affiliate community for schmucks.

I'm sure if a affiliate was scraping his site or cloning it, he'd be the first to cry foul!

Scraping is stealing, regardless if it's a complete site, text, images or in this case, exclusive bonus codes!!!

 

[slotplayer]

Its just not the bonus code getting denied at the cashier.
I'm guessing the player is now tied to his affiliate id and may go on to make a deposit anyway.

 

[Bonus Paradise]

@thebigfreechiplist.com , this is one of your sites also , right?

nonstopbonus.com/BB20835/20-No-Deposit-Bonus-at-Club-World-Casino

Please remove, and check also all your other sites for our code and remove.
Thanks

They even post this ......

thebigfreechiplist.com/de-36207/10-Free-Spins-bei-Guts-Casino

This is simply so not true! No player gets 10 free spins at Guts with code "Antonin Panenka"
Guts Casino has currently a Casino Trivia and existing players can get free spins for correct answers!
Antonin Panenka was one of the answers!
I play there myself the correct answer gave me 5 free spins (NOT 10) and I get the free spins following day at 14:00 CET.

Another example of really bad player experience!
Players may search in their Guts Casino to enter a Code. The only option to enter a code at Guts is if depositing as far I know.
Players then maybe also contact live chat and ask to redeem this code.

Exactly!!

And that's the point I've been making... These scum bags (sorry but that's exactly what they are, leechers), steal exclusive bonus codes, knowing damn well they wont work BUT also know they produce traffic. It's akin to spam. If it wasn't successful, if players didn't signup via this shite, it wouldn't be clogging mailboxes.

So here we are again seeing legitimate, hard working affilates being shafted by scum bags. Nice!
