Another "creative marketing" stunt? Basically, it's a textbook case of distorted incentives. Casinos attract traffic, and at the end of the day, it's the same old trick—when the equilibrium of legitimate channels is broken, people start to take risks.

NGL, this trick is way too obvious—casino platforms boosting traffic... But then again, who hasn't thought about it? Just didn't have the guts to do it.

NGL, this move is too outrageous. Cheating traffic at the casino? They even dare to do this.

NGL, this move is a bit extreme. Buying traffic has even gone to court, haha.

Faking data? This trick has been played out in Web3 for a long time; just hearing about it makes it seem unreliable.
