Gambling Federation Breaches Casino Software Agreement

It seems like one can’t trust anyone these days – even those who claim to be the benefactor of good will and trust for all. Take the Gambling Federation for instance, who is one of the internet’s leading providers of online casino sites, touting themselves as a professional and ethical establishment.

However, GFED may need to take another class in ethics, and an online one at that, for they were recently caught and admitted to encrypting malware in their online casino software downloads. According to Flaviano Fogli, Gambling Federation CEO, the software was programmed to retrieve their patrons private information in order to compete against another online casino rival, Royal Dutch Casino. He went on to say that GFED takes full responsibility, but also notes that the actions were taken as a result of an employee who quit GFED to join Royal Dutch, stealing GFED’s confidential patron database.

What makes the matter more wearisome is that the Interactive Gaming Council, who states on their website that the IGC exists to "establish fair and responsible trade guidelines and practices that enhance consumer confidence in interactive gaming products and services, and to serve as the industry’s public policy advocate", will not comment on the incident. It is even more interesting that Flaviano Fogli is a board member on the Interactive Gaming Council.

As expected, patrons who were compromised during the incident are outraged and disappointed in the unethical practices of the Gambling Federation, which incidentally is not giving the ICG very much credit these days.
