I tried to trace these addresses with WHOIS but can't - as I thought to ban their IPS No's. I tried also to find links to my site on these sites without success. I can't understand why they such sites would like to mine as their is no relationship to gambling on my site.

I have check that hot link protection is fully active by running 3rd party hot link tests - so this isn't the issue. I just wonder why these so unrelated sites have a link to my site??
