External links[edit]

I have removed the external link to the subject's web site because it is flagged by Google as downloading malware - see [1]. Phil Bridger (talk) 09:30, 7 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to Centsports, they received an advertisement that contained malware. They have since fixed the problem. 24.218.218.80 (talk) 00:42, 19 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

According to a thread on their own site, they are trying to fix the problem but cannot find the source so visitors occasionally (rarely) pick up trojans. Shouldn't this be noted in the article? [2] —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.249.1.162 (talk) 02:21, 11 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

hmm[edit]

anyone care to explain what User:71.231.98.61 is trying to do by changing the URL from www.centsports.com to www.centsports.com/?opcode=xxxxx/? --jpgordon^∇∆∇∆ 05:57, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

if someone were to use that link to sign up, he would get a referral bonus, I think it's 5% of whatever they win. TheMan232 (talk) 06:29, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Agree It's most likely a referral code, some gambling sites offer affiliate programs, where they give a bonus of some type, but these same sites often have a anti-spam rule where they may lose all their referrals and are block. btw I x'ed out the opcode, hope u don't mind▪◦▪≡SiREX≡ ^Talk 06:44, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

It happens occasionally on the articles for gambling sites, but normally the vandals aren't so fanatical. It's just an affiliate tracking code. The person would earn some sort of benefit for people clicking the link. 2005 (talk) 07:31, 20 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Cashing out[edit]

Anyone want to write about how it is near impossible to cash out even if you ever do make it above $20? 173.168.239.245 (talk) 03:35, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
