Anyone else get spam gambling emails in your inbox?

Worst part is, there is no option to unsubscribe. I never read any of them.
Anyway I can stop getting them other than change email address? (which I'm not keen to do).

Are you opening them? I`ve ran across emails with no unsubscribe option before. What I do is not open them. After a while I didn`t receive them anymore.

If I'm getting any from spam from gambling sites, I'm not seeing them for all the Viagra spam I'm getting.

Get at least one call a week from Bookmaker, pisses me off. Tell them repeatedly that I am not going to play with them anymore, and they still call. Don't leave many messages anymore, but can tell it is them by the number.

Not sure the law in the US. But if someone rings me here and I say don't ring me again and the key words "remove me from your mailing list"....they are legally not allowed to call again.

Same here dave nz. What I did was register my home phone number with the National Do Not Call Registry. If they call I just tell them remove my number from your calling list and they do. If they keep on calling report there ass. Here is the link. Not sure if it would work in New Zealand, but it works in the USA. https://www.donotcall.gov/
