I thought it might be interesting for some of us in the online bingo community to see the depths to which some people are descending in the cutthroat world of online gambling – in this case a false-flag email campaign against online casino Maxima.

Maxima Casino has been operating successfully for over five years, yet a list of its customers somehow fell into the hands of either a competitor or disgruntled employee who then used it to email a false claim that the company is bankrupt.

Naturally, Maxima issued an immediate denial of the email’s claims and continues to operate as normal. Nonetheless, this sort of attack really is about as low as one can go.

Maxima does not offer a free online bingo games option and I do not know of any online bingo hall or bingo online operator who has been subjected to a similar attack – and I hope it remains that way.

For those interested, here is the denial issued by Maxima concerning the fake email:

Dear ……

We have been informed that someone is trying to damage reputation of THE MAXIMA casino by sending a spam email telling that we have a management and financial problems.

We are sure that most of you are aware we are still operational without any problems for nearly 5 years and we have no intention to stop. Therefore we are kindly asking you to disregard the email you received or any other emails regarding THE MAXIMA casino that are not sent from our email addresses.

Please be advised that we have full backup from our software provider ‘PlayTech’ and shortly official letter issued by them will be sent to you in order to see that the email you previously received is indeed a scam.

Such It is a rather “dirty job” some are trying to do to many casinos and is very important for you to remain calm and rest assure we will take care of it.

At the same time we would like to thank you for your trust and loyalty. Should you have any other questions or concerns, please do no hesitate to contact our friendly support department and they will gladly assist you.

Sincerely yours,

Dan F.
