BONUS WHORES DISOWNS THE GNOMES
Bonus hunter site makes a statement
Last week InfoPowa commented on a new (for us) word in the gambling lexicon
- "gnomes"
Gnomes are apparently online casino accounts opened
in the names of friends and relatives by greedy gamblers looking to exploit bonuses
to the max. The *ring leader* player often gives the friend or relative a percentage
of the bonuses to compensate for use of personal and financial details.
A
gang (for want of a better word) of gnomes can involve the use of one or two *personalities*
or fairly large syndicates, but it's a risky practice, because if discovered the
player does not get too much sympathy or return on investment.
In response
to the piece we received an email from one Jason Kirsner, disowning fraudulent
gnomic activity as follows:
"I just read your newsbrief on the gnomes
on our site, BonusWhores. I would just like to clarify for you that BonusWhores
management does not condone or encourage such fraudulent activity. However, we
do allow our members to talk about whatever they wish, short of spamming our forums.
We focus purely on maximizing a player's EV through legitimate means."
We're told that the management might disapprove, but gnoming is a big topic
of conversation on his site....
