Can anyone get that promotion to work without their "not a bot" verification wanting you to signup for a service that costs $?

If not it seems like a new low for amayastars

Pretty sure you must have got your 10 unique clicks. So did it work?

When I went to verify my # it brought me to https://gyazo.com/aca0e89d855ddd5df5b7a34e15e1b548

It's in spanish (live in costa rica) but it's an entertainment service i'd have to signup for.

One of my horses tried it (lives in netherlands) and got a service that wanted him to pay 12 Euro per month

Posting in bold and all-caps in a thread that mods likely never read doesn't make a mod any more likely to read it.

Using the Report Post feature (red triangle to the left of every post), as another poster had done in this thread, sends an email to every mod of the forum.

If only you were as quick to post a link to the problem thread as you were to post the obvious spam/scam link. But no worries, I found it.

I'm clearly not a 2plus2 veteran like the rest of you's and never knew what the correct protocol was to report posts so posted it in bold and caps but glad to see the issue has been seen to

And obvious spam link wasn't so obvious when it directed me straight to the PokerStars website with out any spam website

Maybe less of the troll feed back when giving advice I know it must be boring after 40k posts but you could try get a life? would help out with the laugh at your own Troll posts you made today

Just a Bit friendly advice which you gave me

I'm a little lost with the last part of your post, but I'm sorry if me calling the spam/scam "obvious" hurt your feelings - I thought that was a pretty mild jibe.

As for the second paragraph - yikes! I don't know if you've ever been scammed before, but if you still believe you were directed to the Stars website, you're just asking to be phished/scammed one day. This kind of thing is so common these days, if you aren't on the watch for it, you're going to get burned. Anyone can create a URL with the word "stars" somewhere in it, and then whip up a page that looks just like a page on the Stars site - you need to be a lot more cautious with what you're clicking on.

It was probably an affiliate link if you ended up on Stars (real) site, their current first deposit offer is $30 tickets/bonus with £10 deposit. Someone signs up through that site > asks Stars where their free money is > deposits the £10 > the shady site gets their affiliate cut.

The other stuff people have posted (wanting you to sign up for subscriptions) will be affiliate links too.

For future reference - when that flashing banner ad tells you you've won an iPad, you haven't

A convincing Pokerstars scam would be offering 2$, not 25$. Nice try Pokerstars

What odds are you guys getting for today's challenge?

I got $2 + $1 + $2 even though there's no $2 reward in my cardmatch reward's probabilities

Got exactly the same ( 2+1+2 ) and the probability table is similar to yours.

It could be that they have doubled the prizes for the christmas edition of the cardmatch,
but forgot to update the probabilities under the info.

Yep, this is what happened. For the Christmas cardmatch the first time the odds were displayed and updated correctly but the second and third cardmatch they forgot to
