AAC chairperson Warren Whitfield said that this practice was “absolutely deplorable”. He said that the organisation had logged a complaint with Uniform and requested that the domain’s ownership be reviewed.
“We have also launched our own investigation into this domain. Whether Silversands Casino is aware of this practice or not, it is responsible to know which domains connect to their website and to take the appropriate action. We are looking to find any person who sought help for a heroin addiction online, who suffered a financial loss because they were diverted to gambling online. We will seek financial restitution for damages caused on behalf of any person who has suffered because of this unacceptable practice by either Silversands Casino or heroin.co.za’s registered owner Indona.”
