Any chance Hollywood owns Tower?

Hummm. I just found out that their IP location is the same, both sites are hosted by Potected.ca in Montreal.

And notice all of their denials are only related to selling our email addresses. They never say that THEY are not sending the emails themselves.

a reply i got from HW last week when i emailed them asking if they could explain:

Kindly contact Tower Gaming and ask them to remove you from their

has anyone else who emailed Hollywood about these spam emails noticed that they have now stopped?

i havent been getting any more Tower spam since i emailed Hollywood wondering what the hell the story was with the both of them.

nothing really interesting but thought id give a bump in case others wanted to do the same.

I signed up to HWP through Bonuswhores and I got the same spam for a while as well, although I haven't received any new ones the last few days. I hadn't ever made the Hollywood-Tower connection myself, but it does look really suspicious. I'm adamantly refusing any business on Tower since they're using spam to advertise, and now I have to think about quitting play on HWP as well.

tis like this, i joined HP ages ago and i get spam including BonnusWhores. But the free browser add-in, McAfee SiteAdvisor, gives them a green tick meaning "We tested this site and didn't find any significant problems". Could be they've cleaned up their act, or may be worth reporting your issue to McAfee SiteAdvisor so they can look into it. If they discover it to be spammy it will then show up to everybody who does searches using the McAfee SiteAdvisor add-in with compatable search engines (such as google), as well as on all HP site pages for anybody using McAfee SiteAdvisor.

I didn't get any spam messages since the moment I unsubscribed from HP.

OMG

I signed up using my email address on my phone which is actually an email address for text messages so when I get the message its actually forwarded from a middle processing unit which spits out the email from a 0000000 email address so no way to respond back to and have dealt with this for about 2 years.

I just get about 20 messages a day and in spurts of about 5 at a time.

VERRY ANNOYING I emailed them and the thing is its not just from one company but rather many company's of the same nature. It comes all jarbled up most of the time as the format is meant for 144 characters only (text message) So it comes broken up and can't get a reply email address to unsubscribe or threaten with bodily harm.

No doubt in my mind it was hollywood because nobody else had the email address NOBODY! [censored] HOLLYWOOD POKER!! And again the email address is totaly unique and special for sending text messages overseas. Normal text are just the number. An international text is something like 8455555555@Mobilecellular.cellular.com just to give an example of how unique the email address is and never got emails before hollywood

Ok then you have a rougue employee that stole the email address of thousands and thousands of players or firewall breach. Cause There is no doubt in my mind that HP is responsible.
