BLOOPER OF THE WEEK

Samvo Casino makes the sort of mistake that could prejudice players and give spammers a windfall

Spam merchants on the e-mailing list for Playtech-powered Samvo Casino this week will have received a major windfall in the form of hundreds of player email addresses, thanks to an apparent blunder in the mailing department that included the names of all recipients on each email.

Ironically announcing "great service upgrades and changes" the email address header ran to almost ten screens and seemed to include the email address of every member on the casino database.

It's not the first time this has happened - some time ago Cirrus Casino made a similar error, but there is a real danger that spammer individuals or firms will seize on the email and start bombarding all those on it with unasked for and unwanted material ranging from organ enlargement to medicines.

Samvo Group operates sportsbook betting websites samvo.com and for UK customers only samvo.co.uk. Additionally, Samvo operates an online casino with interactive live dealers. Samvo Entertainment Ltd. and Samvo Asia Pacific Inc. are all part of the gaming and betting division of Samvo Group.

Samvo Group boasts over 30 years of experience in the gaming and betting world, and is one of the first Asian-backed online betting companies to obtain multiple gaming and betting licences from various European and Asian governments such as the UK, Alderney and the Philippines.

The group claims to provide its customers a highly secure betting and gaming environment in strict accordance with the Data Protection Act 1998, promising not to disclose, under any circumstances, personal details to any other organisations.
