Hi,

I am not sure if this has been done. If it has please send a link my way.

I have belonged to blacklists before (Grand Prive, etc), however I think this scrapes the surface of the problem. I believe we should create a more substantial blacklist, that contains some or all of the following:

1. Actually Casino.
2. Sister Casino.
3. Parent company.
4. Owners.
5. Affiliate managers (on a strikes based blacklist).

So lets take Grand Prive as an example, I would not want to promote:

1. Grand Prive
2. Any sister casino of Grand Prive.
3. Any casino that belongs to the parent company that owns Grand Prive.
4. Any casino that has an owner who has an owners share of Grand Prive. (Sort of same as 3.)
5. Any casino who's affiliate manager consistently works for casinos that become rouge. I add consistently here, as I don't think its fair to threaten someones livelihood if they have the misfortune of working for a casino that becomes rouge, however if the same affiliate manager keeps on popping up at rouge casinos, then they should also be blacklisted.

I am sure there are some casinos out there that have some very strong links to Grand Prive, yet are being promoted unwittingly by all of us.

I like the idea :) How would this be implemented, though? And how would we find out the ownership?

The problem is that most casinos seem to be owned by a 'shell corporation' created for the sole purpose of hiding the real owners. So - to get to the real owners would be tough.

I thought about that, and so far the only thing I can think of is offering affiliate managers a "get out of free" jail card.

So in other words, once the affiliate manager leaves the rogue casino, they can let us know details of ownership, and obliviously only details that don't conflict with their terms of employment (or ex employment.) This way the affiliate manager helps us to avoid rogue owners, and we help them by not painting them with the same rogue brush.

As far as who runs the list, etc, well that would have to be an established affiliate site (like this one), however I would obviously get some honorary recognition for the idea (only when its positive) ;D

Blacklist

Did you guys want to help me on making this wordpress plugin?
www[dot]pandragon[dot]com/rogueplugin

I have backend plugin options for 3 widget style themes, Credit links can be removed, Titles and descriptions can be changed + Trusted casinos section can also be added into it via the plugins options in backend.

It's also avaliable in widget or hook format. I dunno I haven't had time to do up the themes to make it look pretty but I wanted something to give my players more trust worthy feelings from my site if I gave them warning about where not to go.

The list is based off casinomeisters list but if you guys here at guarddog want to compile up your own list I can use that list instead - let me know if anyone here would be interested helping with this.

the plugins already made but I just need another partner to support me in getting the right information and theme suggestions as can have 3 css themes and also can let user override css.

Also Can anyone try to signup to my site because I am not sure if it's redirecting to the right login page? :(

FYI The plugin is wordpress plugin. Not released to public yet, i wasn't sure if anyone was interested but I am going to try it on my own site see if I get better response from players if I use it as like an antirogue badge.

Drop by my group page or something or post here if anyone want to make the list into a guarddog supported list? That would require you guys helping on the plugin with helping make the list and reasons why they are bad casinos.

Interesting Idea, did it get off the ground?
