More than 70% of the people that promotes different projects here do not test the projects and neither do they even visit the website.

Um....can I ask where you got that very specific statistic from? I've no clue what the percentage is of member who have nothing to do with whatever they're promoting, but I'm guessing it's probably high and perhaps even near 70% but I'm curious as to where you pulled that number from.

LOL. I didn't know I was so specific. There's actually no data to back my claim but I guess probably high and even upto the aforesaid 70%

If you go to the gambling section which I believe you frequent because of the casino you promote, you will see many users on casino signatures but know nothing about gambling and probably do not even gamble.

I was doing a lot of post reviews in the gambling section before I made the decision to exclude that section from any future reviews, but honestly most of the posts I looked at were made by members who at least seemed to know about gambling, and quite a few of them seemed passionate about sports betting in particular. Granted, I did not look at any other posts aside from those from the members who'd requested reviews, so my perception is probably very skewed. One of the reasons I don't even consider joining a gambling-based sig campaign is because I don't gamble and any posts I would make in that section would be pure crap.

On the other hand, I have posted a few times when the topic of gambling addiction has come up because that interests me and I know a little bit about how harsh the consequences are and how brutally difficult it is to stop gambling. Anyway.

Things have really changed in the gambling section these days. I made a post about stake campaign just above discussing same thing. Years ago when I was promoting Rollbit, there were many shit posts about sports betting. Some users do not even have a clue about the football clubs involved and the countries or leagues they belong. They will just read earlier few posts and generate a random reply from what has been said already. These days things have changed, which means the campaign managers have made some special kind of rules to combat spam. Also, even if I am not a Jollygood fan, I think he did some job to combat spammers, especially those that predicts match that has already been played and decided Grin

Speaking of examples, imagine a football club that has signed a sponsorship contract with Adidas, and then one player goes out on the field wearing Nike football boots.

A much better example would be a football club sponsored by Coca-Cola, and the football player puts their bottle away during an interview Cheesy

But since there is no bad publicity, this got them much more attention and thus brand exposure than they would have gotten any other way.

Live example you gave. Ronaldo did it and it did cost coca cola.
