Spamming has always been an activity associated with online casino gambling. Although it has gotten much better over the years due to more widespread regulation of the industry and more efficient security protocols, the fact remains that it still exists. The most recent onslaught of online casino spam is taking a different angle for enticing gamblers to bet their money according to IT security firm, Sophos. Instead of promising free cash and the "best of everything" online gambling has to offer, these spammers are using sex to sell their service.

A Senior Technology Consultant for Sophos claims that an unidentified online casino is offering gambling over the internet with live, nude dealers. Whilst the idea of offering live dealers is not a new one for online casinos (many of the Web's best sites offer it), this is one of the first times the industry has seen such a large spamming campaign promoting undressed live dealers.

The closest thing to resemble live, nude gambling online currently is strip poker. Not an activity embraced by traditional land-based gambling destinations or even more mainstream online casinos, strip poker has always been more or a closeted derivation of the game of poker. However, more and more online gambling sites are offering virtual versions of the scantily clad game, going so far as designing busty avatars who strip down as the game dictates. Perhaps this has given way to the idea of live, nude dealers, not to mention the business motto that sex sells.

The only thing about this type of sex is that it is unsolicited and is being spammed out to anyone with an email address - including minors - consequently making it illegal. Sophos has not determined who the owners of the site are, although their investigation has uncovered a Toronto-based online casino gaming company that has alluded to their patronage about live gambling with nude or partially dressed dealers. Players are advised to insure they are using anti-spam software and spyware, and to be wearing unrecognizable emails with badly spelled subject headers.
