    Why do i get soliciting calls and texts from sportsbooks?

    What the penetrate sbr, why do you keep giving out my information to various books. I got a voicemail from EZSTREET telling me they have reduced lines and for the past couple of months i been receiving texts about nfl games and if i want free cash? this is the number that txt me most recent 402 575 7459

    So who is the culprit? Sbr, me thinks yes! Or can it be betislands? we all know ezstreet is the affiliate of BI. Please stop!!

    This has been posted before... if you use multiple services and you give real general contact information instead of using only a designated number for gaming this will happen. Your name and number can be quickly disseminated depending on the service used and who is in the tech or IT and even CSD department. There is a large underground market for player lists in CR... SBR may not be the culprit and this information can hit the distribution network based on many factors which may not be because of SBR. Use a DESIGNATED number for gaming contact that goes directly to voicemail and check if you are looking to deposit or just delete the messages regularly if not, simple right... annoying calls go away.
    PS if you had a BI account then everyone has your contact info...

    DSI will call me occasionally, like 5 times a year. And if you say you can't talk right now, they just send you an email with the offer and say nice to to talk to you.

    I don't think SBR asks for a phone #, hence how would they distribute it? The books sell the #.

    This has been happening long before the SBR store. It isn't impossible though if SBR has your #.

    Wrong, it would dilute their base. A few do though and is not a long term good move.
