    I know many women in Europe who watch regularly porn TV films and visit porn websites, alone or with their partners. So it is, I think, not a question of offending women, but those who are against porn, men and women alike.

    Hi all,

    I'm certainly no prude

    I don't mind casting my eyes on some porn now and again either. But, to me that's not the issue here. However, by making it the issue, it is really clouding the agenda IMHO.

    I say porn (soft or otherwise [as long as it is legal] ) is OK in its place.

    I also say that gambling is OK too.

    But mixing them together IMHO is not OK

    I'll admit Playboy is pretty tame...

    Hypothetically if Hustler xxxhttps://hustler.com/mansion1/home.php?cs=1&w=420901 announced next week it was opening an online casino would you be OK with that?

    What about a European publishing house that deals is glossy fetish mags, hardcore porn and such, would that be OK? If not why? After all it is porn isn't it!

    I don't view this a moral issue, I do view it that porn & casino's should never be bed partners.

    You think you've got dramas with rogue gambling webmasters. Open the porn gate and you'll soon realise the depths to which some people will go to earn a buck!


    My dogmatic mantra stems from the passion I hold towards the industry. Because IMHO trying the push for online casino's to be legalised and yet also allowing porn to enter the market is not doing the industry on a whole any favours.

    I sincerely believe given time that it will come back to bite everyone on the backside..
    (including those who don't want any part of it).



    Cheers

    Agreed. We could argue both sides all day and night. The real issue here is how it pertains to the GPWA.

    I know Michael addressed this already. I take it as Playboy is ok, and I agree. If it is taken further (ie: hustler, naked babes on bikes..whatever) I want no part of it.

    My thought is and Playboy is the exception to the rule. Should porn become a staple on approved GPWA sites then that defeats the purpose and I am out.

    This is not about "porn". It is about the Code Of Conduct at GPWA. Remember, affiliate programs ban porn in there t/c's as well, and for good reason.

    I dont think its a question of being for or against it. It has to do with the saying there is a time and place for everything and I dont feel that mixing even soft porn or full frontal nudity is appropriate. I have no issues with nudity, or sex or anything realting to that topic

    I would have to say bb1 comment about where and whan pretty much sums it up. If you are running an already existing adult website than a casino would be no big deal...but if you are a casino webmaster than no its not the right place to be advertising

    I just reread this thread to see if anything new had come out of the woodwork and one point stands out from all the porn/gambling viewpoints.

    Some people are concerned that promoting Playboy's site will support the US Govt's viewpoint:

    As far as I know (not having done their review yet since there is no site for them to approve), Playboy does NOT play to the US.

    The site I will be uploading is a co.uk offering to be hosted in the UK - where is the US involved?

    My interest was in whether promoting the casino would reflect on my private membership here and whether I could submit the new site for consideration to be GPWA approved.

    For the record, I do not approve of porn being associated with gambling and don't even show sexually-biased banners on my sites - as will be the case with the new site. I do believe Playboy has interest for both sexes because of it's association with excitement, the cutting edge, and its good name. It's not a good idea to bias a site sexually - bad for business.

    I just wish some casinos would discover there are more people available for website advertising than that ubiquitous Spanish girl who shows up everywhere. I must have seen her on at least 20 sites - boring!

    sorry ntaus, but I'm either still under the weather (pissed) from the Melbourne Cup BBQ or I've got no idea what your talking about.

    The Spanish girl, that totally lost me???

    In Germany only films are succesfully by women who are made from women for women. It must be a real erotic film with a good and beautiful storyline. That's the reason why female producers only are making that way of porn and have success with it.

    "Is it OK to promote casinos that mix adult entertainment and gambling?"

    One of the 1st online casinos was the Cyber Thrill Casino.

    The owner mixed from the very 1st day adult entertainment and gambling to promote the casino.

    Here an old banner to see what i meen:



    Well, the owner was a scam. No affiliate got money.

    But after all, he went down in history.

    Why?
    If a topic is not worth to answer or forbidden, then the owner of this forum must close it.
    Is it closed?

    It do not interest me, when something was written but what was written.

    And when 20 years old content interest me, then I will answer. Many written text is not worth less just because it became older.

    It is not like Leopold is doing the traditional 1 post spammer bump.

    Typically, I find value in what he posts - especially when I'm paying attention... LOL

    I don't see the problem. I've been to Playboy Casino in the Vegas Palms. Nothing seedy or dodgy about it. In fact there's nothing there that you wouldn't see in Caesars. Same principles should apply to the web.
