So I was just looking around for some freerolls, I apply for cardschat forums. ask for password to a freeroll and they say you need to do stuff to get it... and then I ask my friend who also plays fulltilt and same thing happened to him, but when he asked he got banned. They dont respond back or anything to him..
Apparently you need to do something to get these passwords. This is against the law they selling low labor costs high profits arrangarants. I bet they have no warrant for this either.

i did join their forum, asked how to get password, and got banned lol...
The whole point of a freeroll is that it is free. If it is not freeroll they should call it private tournament. Thats like a disguised scam sorta.
Some sites give out free freerolls kinda odd but cool. But i geuss you have to do work for cardschat to get into theirs or something my friend said.
Nice scam they got though.  |

yeh they claim to have freerolls. but you have to post on their site so they get money. so its basically a scam, which people with alot of time on their hands fall for. You obviously dont work and are a broke if you fall for that stuff.
If you waste time like that for *freerolls* I suggest getting a real job rarther than payoff a websites scam.
Why they advertise freerolls, just to get more people to join and do their work for them. Its a big scam in my book. They making a enterprise off freerolls, and putting people with no money at work. Like asian slaves. |

You've misunderstood the concept of private freerolls. They're designed to attract and reward members of whatever group hosts the event. People who just appear out of nowhere when there's a freeroll in the client and make posts demanding the password are unlikely to be welcomed.
If there was a private freeroll for all residents of your street, would you be delighted if a thousand strangers parked caravans along the roadside for a week so they could play too? |

| That is essentially against the law. Im a studying lawyer. That is a actually an international crime, which many scammers do to mark activities and slave jobs. Your not allowed to elicit work for such profits. |

Against US law I mean. If in indonesia you got no law to follow  . So if their website is directed from their it cant be charged. But this can easily be made a case of, your not allowed to elicit such activities... for profits.
People have tried this many times before. Take unemployed people and abuse them as they got no income for their own profits. Pretty sick if you ask me.
You dont see how your getting scammed cause you have never seen this before. I see many of these cases in law however. Its a very deep scam, and can have repercussions on poker world as well. Illicting work for profit like this is against US LAW. |

This is fun. Exactly what work or activities are they eliciting, and how are they profiting from it? Also what false representations are they making? |

| I distinctly remember you writing that Cardschat gets some kind of $ amount per post made. I think you edited it though, as it doesn't really make sense. If anything, page views would be their $ money maker. But seeing as there are so few ads on the site, I'm guessing they're making cash through signups as an affiliate. In any case, posting on the site is totally consensual and people are not "slaves". |

'The existence of a very high market share does not always mean consumers are paying excessive prices since the threat of new entrants to the market can restrain a high-market-share firm's price increases. Competition law does not make merely having,for instance through exclusionary practices.'
Its an exclusionary practice. If you know anything about law??
article 1-section 8
Multiple laws actually
Cant make profit without goverment knowing on worker labor. they must be warrranted and taxed. Also minmal monopoly profits are being made. Basically users of forum are being scammed out of time/money because they are broke and cant find a real job. Against munciplic law article 1 section 9. Hard to explain if you know nothing about law or business regulations.
If your running a business that is in US. And has such procedures always have lawyer check it out. Alot of cases i have seen same thing as this. They think no way it can be against the law.
And they get hit big time, and big trouble. Sometimes quite long jail fraud sentences. No money is free in the US . |
