OH NO the telegraph is gonna have a field day
look out if the nutjob Andrew Wilkie hears about this

really the person who sends the emails out needs to put a filter on who gets them (if that can be done) type a msg click all and send is what happened I think simple mistake


the offending email below

and this sent last night

Dear Members,

An offer from Centrebet was sent to our total membership database earlier in the week.

This content was only intended for those over 18 years of age.

As a Club we take full responsibility and apologise for this human error. We would like to make it clear that it has never been the intention of Centrebet or the Sea Eagles to promote a product to Members under the age of 18.

We are currently implementing internal controls that will ensure such an error will not take place again.

If you have any further concerns please don't hesitate to contact Sea Eagles Corporate Partnerships on 9970 3000.

Yours Sincerely,

Sea Eagles Corporate Partnerships

Where's the apology from the likes of News Ltd for them promoting this to people under 18?

Android currently has more apps on the marketplace than Apple's appstore.

Do you guys mess around with ROMS and different flashes?

Android??? Wasnt that an old Atari game

 

[The Eagle]

You apple yuppies get all the apps, time for the androids to revolt and bluetooth viruses to every apple iPhone ever devised so they have to make apps for every other phone on the world and finally put apple out of business

Atari .... showing you're age Cam.

But it's a shame no one does wood paneling any more, it would look awesome on PS3 or Wii

Again, Android Marketplace has taken over the Appstore in terms of quantity of apps.

Not official apps such as pizza hut,woolies,centrebet and others most of those are unusual apps like my bowling calculator one which market had about 50 of.....

 

[codewana]

I don't find it lacking too many official apps - sometimes you can download them straight from their website instead of the marketplace. Have you checked that out?

Off to the ho-hum forum with this rubbish. Funny that the NRL allow 9 and Fox to advertise betting info during the game and those idiot commentators are all over it. Gallop should get a few phoney calls from mums regarding this.
