Jakarta – The sophistication of the digital era has made people shift all activities in the real world to the virtual realm, including gambling activities. Even though it is strictly prohibited by law, gambling activities on the internet, known as online gambling, are actually popular and loved by the public. Online gambling today is easy and very tempting. With just the screen of their device, players can win big in a short time, without requiring advanced skills, such as those offered by slot games, which have recently become very popular among the public.
The gambling system is really dazzling. There are big wins that can be achieved in a short time, although on the other hand, gambling also promises losses or losses that are just as big. However, the temptation of online gambling still manages to make people fall into this “vicious circle”, which is supported by claims of “fads with prizes”, which is also a justification for online gambling addicts.
It’s not surprising, in our daily activities, we can find many online gamblers around us. Both on the sides of the road, in the middle of busy coffee shops, and even in stalls where young people hang out. Online gambling tends to be considered normal by society. This phenomenon itself allegedly occurs for various reasons. The factor that is said to strengthen people’s enthusiasm for online gambling is the massive series of promotions via digital media, which are intensively carried out by online gambling service providers.
We can even be exposed to online gambling promotions through various channels. Whether in advertisements on a website, personal promotions by digital media celebrities, invitations for testimonials from “old players”, to “pick up the ball” promotions launched personally by online gambling sales, which make it easier for prospective players to make gambling capital deposits or “depo”, to withdraw the winnings.
HOW ONLINE GAMBLING SALES WORK
So far, it turns out that there are a lot of unique strategies from online gambling sales people floating around. Some of them even went viral and received public attention because they responded humorously. Starting from portraying yourself as a beautiful woman, pretending to be a package courier, responding to requests to guess/connect verses from the Koran from prospective customers, and many others. Below, are several examples of unique guerrilla online gambling sales that have gone viral in society.
1. PRETEND AS A BEAUTIFUL WOMAN
Most online gambling sales via WhatsApp messages use profile photos of beautiful women. The reason is not clear, but many people think that this is an attempt to trick potential customers into reading the message – because most of those offered are men.
2. PROVIDE THE LURE OF HELP AND SENSATIONAL REWARDS
Another effort often offered by salespeople is instigation in the form of “inside help”. Mostly, salespeople promise customers big winning numbers, if they join and make a deposit via their site.
3. SENDING AMBIGUOUS MESSAGES
Sending chats as simple as, hi, bro, asking how you are, or something like who’s coming?, is often used by online gambling salespeople to persuade potential customers. Usually this is done to get further responses, which makes it more likely for customers to make transactions through their site.
4. PRETEND AS A PACKAGE COURIER
The clever thinking of online gambling salespeople really does exist. Not a few of them are even willing to pretend to be package courier officers, in order to get a response from customers. Then, when the response has come, then they offer their promotional services, which definitely annoys the customers who thought the package had already arrived.
5. DEAL WITH CUSTOMER FACILITIES
From a series of online gambling sales efforts to reach customers via private chat, their totality also extends to responding to customers’ replies or jokes. For example, continuing the challenge of connecting holy bible verses from customers, to compensating for foreign languages answered by customers.
These are just a few examples of the many guerrilla online gambling salespeople who go to the trouble of chasing customers via personal chat. Even though their guerillaism is unique, gambling is still prohibited by law. Moreover, Haji Rhoma Irama said, even if you win gambling, it is only the beginning of defeat. Have you ever had an online gambling sales prospect? Hope you stay strong, bestie!
