Well I just went to Ace Club, and talked to one of the fine CS reps ( [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img] )

He assured me that this was NOT a scam, and to forward the email to them and that they would send it to the marketing dept.

Will report when I receive any reply....

DOH! I got this email this morning too. I actually did reply to it with my username.

Well, if it is a scam, I doubt someone can do too much with my username, I didn't send my passwd or anything.

I'll respond with any results after a couple days.

I got this, too. This is the first time I've received what seems like a dubious email from a casino. I was excited at first, and then realized there weren't any terms and conditions. Looked to see if anyone else got it, and here I am.

Hope it's good. Looking forward to the response you get from CS.

I got this also. My first thought was that it was a scam because the lack of T&C was disturbing. However, as another poster points out, they only ask for your username, and I'm not sure how much can be done with only that information.

It seems improbable that someone running a scam got ahold of a number of email addresses that all have AceClub accounts (I assume we all have one since no one has said otherwise).

I was going to try to get someone on live chat later today and will post any answer I get in this thread.
