Hi guys, just want to share something I noticed about some signature campaigns that require posts in gambling section. Some ask 5, others 10, which is fine I guess since they promote gambling sites like casinos and sportsbook.

But what I noticed is that most of them say posting in the ANN thread is not required but encouraged. The thing is, that “encouraged” part kinda sounds like a must, coz if you think about it, of course the manager wants their campaigners to bump the ANN thread so it stays active and visible to potential gamblers.
They don't require it because the forum has its an unofficial rules list and one of rules prohibit that requirement.

The rule is.

Most giveaway threads are no longer allowed in the Alternate cryptocurrencies sections. From now on, posting or replying to such threads could result in being banned. <...>

Specifically, you are not allowed to give people any incentive to post insubstantial posts in your threads. You can't offer to pay people who post their addresses, usernames, etc. You can do giveaways off-site and link to the giveaway page in a thread, but you can't give people any bonus for replying to your thread.

It is always not organic to force people posting in your announcement thread as posters will make many no constructive posts, just to fill the campaign requirements.

The company, the campaign manager and the participants must follow rules and this guide.
Signature Campaign Guidelines (read this before starting or joining a campaign).
