Default How did oddsmaker.com get my Home Address

I just received a $50.00 promotion offer form oddsmaker.com. I went to the site. It looks like a standard promotion - I can play as it is real money, but must play a number of "raked" hands (I think 50) in order to be able to cash out.

My question is, how the **** did oddsmaker.com get my home address. I play at Bodog and find it very unlikely that they sell my personal information. I have a sportsbook.com account but have not wagered in years. I recently have been using nucharge to deposit into Bodog. Did they sell my information to third parties?

In addition - Does anybody have any information about oddsmaker.com. Are they a reputable organization?

Oddsmaker.com is a Futurebet site that gets a D- by SBR. Most people would agree Futurebet is a borderline scam and SBR reports that FB appears to be insolvent. It is certainly possible sb.com sold your info as they are the same grade sportsbook however anyone could have stolen a db and/or sold your info.

I've received two spam offers in my home mail box from oddsmaker in the past 12 months.

I'm also curious as to how the [censored] did they get my details.
Is sportsbook the company that owns paradise?

Oh, and yeah stay the f away from oddsmaker or any futurebet site!

Sportingbet used to own both sb.com and Paradise. After UIGEA sb.com's and Paradisepoker.com's US player list and the sb.com domain was sold to Jazette with the terms that they could only accept US players. This prevented sb.com from competing with Sporting Bet's other business. This also explains why sb.com went down the toilet as they were no longer owned by Sporting Bet. Sporting Bet still owns Paradise.

Now that I think about it, it was probably sportsbook.com. As soon as I signed up for them, I started getting mail from betus.com.
