Unwanted Casino/ Bingo Emails

Morning all,

I was hoping i could get a bit of advice....

Last year i started playing casion and bingo games through topcashback (a money back site). As is recommended on MMS i played safe, took the signing on bonuses and withdrew my money in profit. However, at some point along the line someone must have passed on my details. I now receive tens of emails from these sites a day and have started to receive letters through the post.

Has anyone got any ideas about how i can stop these emails? I currently send them all to 'junk' as they look dodgy, however every now and again a useful email will accidentally get sent to junk and it's now impossible to find amongst all of the rubbish!

Thanks

Ian

    i got this quite a lot, just selectively junk what you receive and look in your junk to mark safe what you want, a week of this and the email client will have a good idea of what you do and dont want.
    Back by no demand whatsoever.

    Sorry, I'm probably being really dense, but what on earth does "MMS" stand for?

    The simplest thing to do, if you have a decent internet security package onyour computer and use a good email provider like google or hotmail is open the emails, your computer should be protectedthen click the unsubscribe link at the bottom of the email and the emails should stop.

    They may seem like junk but you did sign up so you will get emails from the bingo site and any other site they are affiliated with.

    It might not be quite as sinister as that. Many of these gaming operators have several bingo brands.

    For example, the firm that owns the Foxy Bingo brand has about six other bingo brands.

    I used to gamble a lot online. I have closed down many accounts for casinos, but still get messages daily from several of them.

    Best thing to do, is either set up your email to delete the message from a certain address or part of the address (for e.g if casino/bingo etc) if included in the email/or email address.

    If it is sites such as Foxy and other well known names, then click on unsubscribe is usually pretty ok. But if it is from casinos which you've never belonged too or even heard of, then sometimes it's better not too, cause it just confirms the email is active and you get more from other affiliates of those companies.
