Betfair Award Is Another Bad Joke
The CBI Growing Business Award people have awarded Betfair the "company of the year award" - for the second year running.
This bad joke follows up on the E-gaming Review "Socially Responsible Operator of 2005" award.
Funnily enough, Betfair's terms and conditions page recommends sweeping your pc for spyware
Betfair
Betfair run a good product for sure. The p2p betting exchange is a great idea and has made massive waves in the wagering sphere. However, spyware and scumware users are a shameful bunch - make no bones about that.
Betfair Not Alone In Spyware Stakes
They are not the only high profile gambling establishment who are happy to glean profits via spyware and scumware practises. Take Bet365 for example, Fortune Lounge casinos, 888.com, Partygaming, Ongame Poker and many more, too many to name here today.
Socially Responsible Unless It Costs Money
All this social responsibility talk is fine and dandy - but even the self proclaimed Ecommerce and Online Gaming Regulation Authority - Ecogra just stand by and do nothing about the shameful spyware situation. Maybe that is because Ecogra are funded from profits gleaned by certain Microgaming Powered Casinos or 888.com, aka Casino On Net, and indeed - the recently accepted Ongame poker software suppliers.
"Socially responsible" - a joke yes - but not very funny. The lame excuse for allowing this spyware nonsense perpetrated on unbeknownst members of the public is one of legality.
Betfair's ceo David Yu should act.
