Just to confirm I am not trolling and it was, and still is, a serious question. Unsure if my previous post won’t be answered, or you are preparing an answer internally which would be posted at a later date.
I have never signed up to receive the CoinPoker newsletter on CoinPoker.com, or elsewhere, however I received the following email regarding CoinPoker on the 9th Nov 2017 at about 6am EST, with the subject 🔜POKER CRYPTOREVOLUTION🔜:
It ends with the following:

Despite what it says, I have not signed up, nor made a purchase. I have visited the website a couple of times, but it’s unlikely you are getting email addresses just from that.
I noticed that the email was sent to an email address that I have only ever used for 1 site, never used it elsewhere, and (I thought) that only the site in question (and employees), along with my hosting provider, knew of this email address. The site is TonyBet. I have had an account there for years, only contacted their support about one issue, and receive a marketing email from them (info@tonybet.com) about once a week since signing up.
One other person who I know plays on TonyBet also received this email about CoinPoker, he has never signed up to receive the newsletter from CoinPoker.
It is possible that my hosting provider was compromised in some way (or I was myself) and just this email address happened to be sent/sold to another gaming/gambling based site, but I think that’s unlikely.
I emailed TonyBet asking them to check if there has been a breach of their email database as giving out such emails addresses & personal information would seem to go against their own privacy policy:

So again, how closely associated to TonyBet are you guys?
