I wonder how much income most affiliates had that were NON U.S. at Mainstreet? Since that’s the only income they would have now anyway, had they not decided to change software.
I know most of my players, probably 99% of them were from the U.S. and this was the only decision that would have made me happy.. switching software brands to allow U.S. players. For that I am very appreciative that they, at a moments notice practically, decided to switch instead of staying with Playtech which would have meant losing nearly all of my income for sure.
I wish this was all worked out already and systems were all running as expected. And if I thought the reason for the problems were because they were corrupt or they simply were ignoring the problems and didn’t care to fix it.. I’d be very upset. But that’s not the case. If there’s technical issues transferring from Playtech to RTG, then what can they do but rely on RTG to help them sort this out?
I’m sure this legislation change which caused Playtech and others to restrict all U.S. players has caused RTG a bit of a sudden growth. Maybe RTG didn’t forsee the legistlation and the effect to them, growth in their business, along with these unforseen problems. There’s only so much time in a day.
I just think Chris is doing all he can do. He’s just the messenger anyway, not the programmer.
I don’t understand why the people that can’t login don’t just make a new account to use that link and banners for now? What would be wrong with that, that they end up with two accounts? Most affiliate programs don’t have a huge problems with that I don’t think. The program seems to be working fine with my new sign-ups and things.
And Chris, I appreciate that you stick to fact and not fiction. I wish this was all behind us and I had my old players on my account, but I appreciate and understand this is a difficult situation. Given the circumstances, I think switching software was still the best choice, without a doubt!
