Gmail does have a bit of a habit of doing that, primarily because other members are identifying a message from a particular sender as spam, or because they are sending out so many that they are thought of as spam. You can get around though.
One of the more useful features of Gmail is the ability to create "Filters". The link is up top next to the "Search the Web" button. By clicking on it, you can follow a couple of step process and direct the messages to wherever you want them to go. You can, for example, create a folder called "VPFree" and direct that all the messages bypass the inbox, and go directly to the folder. The folder list appears on the left side of the screen, under where the inbox, sent mail, drafts, etc. appear.
What is really neat about creating these folders and filters is that any folder with a new, unread message or messages will be in bold, with the number of unread messages in parentheses. So rather than having to go through your entire inbox, when you're pressed for time, you can click on the folder and display only your VPFree messages. You can create as many of these folders & filters as you want (at least I've never hit an upper limit, and I've got more than 100 of them, directed into 15 different folders. You could, for example, direct all casino emails into one folder and see all your new offers in one place.
It takes a little bit of time, but the benefits are many. BTW, there are a number of different criteria you can use as a filter device (From, To, Subject, etc.)
