Don't know about this one. I don't THINK it is spammy but I could be wrong. At least it is fully gambling related!

[KasinoKing]

I've never earned anything like that amount, but that is one HELL of a lot of duties & responsibilities for up to £70K/year.
I would want at least 3 or 4 times that much to do that job!

Sitting on my arse at home tinkering around on a laptop seems a much better life to me!
