I was trespassed from an Indian casino. Not long after, I was backed off from three Indian casinos in one day of different tribes. At one, I never varied my bet...though I had played there b4, and the last time I was there, left due to extreme heat and sensing an imminent backoff. To their credit, all three of those casinos were small...one was so small, you almost couldn't call it a casino--and was possibly given the heads up because it was only a few minutes away and I'd likely be heading there (in other words, it was so quick and lacking in info from me, they couldn't have checked OSN).
Most recently, I went to a mid-size casino. Never posted a win because my luck was horrible. I occasionally would go to a 1-40 spread for brief periods. But for the most part, my spread was about 1-4. On a shoe. I put in less than 20 hours. It seems extremely odd to me that this larger casino had such a low tolerance level. It was literally the worst BJ game I have ever played and coupled with my losing, I figured I'd be welcome there a long time. Is all this just coincidence? Or am I in the network?

Most likely you are. It is common for casino's that are close to each other to share info. Most tribal casinos use OSN.

i've been backed off before, never had any problems at other places. i guess im asking...does osn change anything? my style is already obvious...are u saying osn didn't change anything? it's that I got trespassed? I have not had trouble at state places. I've been getting heat as of late, but none immediately following; i assumed it was due to my increased familiarity with the staff since I had fewer places to play.

Maybe the ploppies complained you hated them and were being mean to them and the casino's are catering to the more affluent less knowledgeable players?

If you saw a hit on google with your name and OSN, then clearly you're in OSN. As KewlJ said, time to play unrated and try to fly under the radar. Honestly, I'd like to see a picture of that google result, with your last name blurred or something, but see it none the less. If the page exists I could more than likely find a back way in to it.

If? I already found my way in...there's a pic of me and a short description that I'm an AP and the color and make of my car. I'm not posting any of that on here. Ploppies didn't complain. I played heads up most of the time. The ploppies I played with that day were very tolerable. The PB was getting nervous and it was a monster win for that store.

If you google oregon surveillance network it comes back with this:

Oregonsurveillancenetwork.com
oregonsurveillancenetwork.com/
A description for this result is not available because of this site's robots.txt – learn more.

If their main page isn't available to google there's no way I'm believing that they're letting google index actual player info.

Like I said b4, I do not know if this is an error or if it is supposed to be public. In addition, this is not the OSN website. This is some sort of news feed that is getting info from OSN. Someone already got a hit on it after reading this thread genius. You also google your name, btw. I started this thread because I wanted to know if people thought I was in OSN...then I updated it after I found out I was. You're on here telling me I'm lying. It's fu#@#@ stupid.

Eh, from a technical standpoint sc15 has a couple very good points.

Hmm, it must be another affiliate site? I find it extremely hard to believe OSN would have a public API for anyone to pull information from, or even to provide an RSS feed with private information about players. I'm not saying I don't believe you, just that it should be pretty easy to provide a snapshot of the google results (not the actual page you navigate to) and simply omit the short hand personal information that comes back...

Quote: Sonuvabish

First, I don't know how to post a screenshot.


On the page you want a screenshot of just hit the Print Screen button on your keyboard. Open up microsoft paint. Go to Edit->Paste or just click CTRL+V. Cut out the small portion of the picture that pertains to what we want to look at (this step is optional, but nice). Save the image. Go to photobucket.com or another free hosting site. Sign up with nothing more than your e-mail (I've never been spammed by them in 5+ years). Click Upload Photo. Select the photo on your computer. Then go to your Uploads, click the photo you want, click the "Link" symbol from the options just above the photo. Copy the "direct link", as this is what you need to post it here.

Lastly, in one of your posts use the img tag... [ img= (direct link url)]. I added spacing so it wouldn't think I was posting an image. Use the formatting codes link below every post editor if you need more help with the img tag.


That might sound like 'a lot' but it seriously takes less than 5 minutes. Copy paste, Upload, and link on your post. That's about it.

I can confirm what sonuvabish says is true, I was able to find my page, it is a newsfeed that has links of updates from thousands of blogs/sites. My guess is you can only find it if you are a recent entry. When I clicked on the link from the site I couldn't find it, but was after just clicking on the cache option on the result of the original search term "Oregon surveillance network xxxxxx xxxxxxxxxxxx" (your name included)

And yes it is all personal information, some of which is likely in violation of the fair credit reporting act.

The page I was viewing with my pic is no longer accessible...and if you have been following, I am a recent entry (last couple months), and just accessed it a few days ago. So Mcallister's hypothesis is probably correct...you can only view this if you are a recent entry. Also, it is likely some sort of error and violation of law. I'd further guess that the page we see is a weekly email alert to casinos that does not require a login, since we are on the page with about a dozen players each seen that same week. I won't go into detail, but some people on there are not AP, nor are they cheaters, nor or are they even players, nor did they break the law.

No, he doesn't. You can find the RSS feed easily. If he can't find a hit with his name, then there's no pic of him to view.

It's a temporary cached RSS feed that is a different site. Doesn't seem affiliated.

Yeah, I was going to do all that, why? I have nothing to prove. Someone courteously asked me how to check it, and I told him. If you follow the method described, and you do not find anything, you are likely not recently entered into OSN from what I can tell, at least if you play in certain locales. It took just over a week for me to be added to OSN after being entered, and that seemed typical.

Actually he might be telling the truth.

I had a friend check recently added players, and there is indeed a person recently who was spreading $5-$200, who was originally backed off early august, and they got his plate when he was spreading 5-75x2 in sept.

Although KJ's advice is largely irrelevant due to the fact I don't live in Vegas and don't have the luxury of short sessions, playing unrated is probably going to occur more frequently. I'm not sure u understand the difference between a trespass and a back-off. I've only been trespassed once. You can go into any casino you have been backed off at or flat-bet at, stand over the table until the count is high, then jump in and max bet. No law prohibits this.

Mcallister--can you verify you still have access to the page, and that you were entered more recently than I? I wanna know if my page just expired, or if something more sinister is at work.

Get a new license plate, cut your hair, get a fake ID or play as a refusal, and you should be fine if your max bet is $200. And obviously avoid the people who backed you off.

If you're in MI, getting a new plate is fairly cheap, and you can request one of their specialty plates in order to get a different plate number.

I never thought about the issue of whether any WOV forum membership information is distributed by the WOV forum to any third parties (other than law enforcement).

Would a WOV forum administrator care to post a statement that informs us whether the personal information of forum members is ever distributed to third parties in the gaming industry? I am happy to give WOV the benefit of the doubt - but I would be even happier if you would categorically deny this.

I very highly doubt LCB would disseminate our information to any "unknown" third party vendors. I would imagine they could give away statistics about our group, maybe some emails to gambling sites to spam us with offers, but past that they really shouldn't even have much information on us... A form handle and an email (which you should be using a burn email account, sooooo).

Zuga would be the one to ask, FYI.
