Diverting the bingo player

It's happened twice now.  I get an email about a new bingo site and a cashable bonus.  This time it was disguised as "Bingo Games Fun".  Has a nice big "CLICK HERE" button, which I know not to use. 

But I'm always on the lookout for a bingo site I haven't visited and a chance to win on bonus money and cash out.  So, a little mouse over and I see a 'female celebrity deals' name and know it's an affiliate link.  I type 'bingogamesfun.com' into my browser, and am taken to basically the same advert as in the email.  Curious, though, that the url changes to 'ahugewinner.com'. 

Turns out the whole thing is a Bingo Knights promo.  Why they have to concoct such covert methods as this to get players in, I have no clue.  Is it Bingo Knights or is it the rogue affiliates who are diverting us from this nice 'bingo games fun' site to BK?  Both times I thought I was in for a treat, I ended up at Bingo Knights.

And 'ahugewinner.com' by itself takes me to a site advertising the Cool Cat and friends links for those wonderful bonuses you don't know you can't use without a deposit in between if you are inexperienced.  I am leaning toward this being the work of the affiliate but surely Bingo Knights is aware of what methods their affiliates are using.

Anyone can be an affiliate. But this is becoming as bad as those scam letters from Nigeria asking us for help and offering millions in return.  It's sick and immoral and what is wrong with the world today.

Thank God we have Zuga and this site here to always give us the REAL deal and usually an even better cashable sign-up bonus. 

I agree Chilly it gets very frustrating when i get emails that are basically nothing but trickery disguised as the actual bingo or casino site. Wouldn't it be better just to use an honest approach to introduce themselves but then how honest are they really because chances are they bought your email from someone!

Thanks for moving the post for me.  See, I started out all excited about a new site and bonus.  Totally forgot I was in the wrong section but glad I decided to test the url before posting. 

You are right, it would be better if they just gave us the real deal.  The way they are going about their recruitment of new players is like they think we are all suckers and gambling addicts and not just some real folks wanting to play and win.

I see so many offers like that. You click through about 5 links just to get to the bingo site and see what the offer actually is. So frustrating! If it's not obvious what the deal is, I don't even bother anymore.

Bingo knights drives me nuts too directly. I keep getting emails to join and i say to myself if you have my email you know i belong already. It can be so frustrating. I have learned the fishy emails and spam them but they are annoying.

I got used to the affiliates pretending to be the casinos or bingo sites, but to try to get you to think this is a new site, and not say, hey, it's Bingo Knights...  that to me is just shady.  So I take offense to the deception.  At least the other type of email isn't trying to trick you-they just want your business and aren't trying to get it by trickery.
