George thanks for the reply. I am sure everyone will join me in wishing you a speedy recovery
While I am sure all the US players appreciate the efforts DBPN went to enable them to keep playing, you are suggesting that it was as an act of charity? Okayyyyyy then……
As you may appreciate, I cannot possibly reveal any sources I have regarding the suggestion that DBPN (and or a subsidiary) benefitted effectively as an affiliate from any new account at Full Tilt.
Readers will have to decide for themselves whether or not DBPN just handed over their entire US database for free :shhh:
The decision by Tribeca was not overnight and there was plenty of time to alert your affiliates to what was happening. If you weren’t really going to benefit financially from the transaction then why would you not contact the affiliates?
It would have been easy to advise your affiliates that they could contact their players with information about FT etc
There were actually 9 days between the day (19th Feb) you advised players about the impending changes and the date they would no longer be able to play on DBPN (1st March)
You clearly had time to contact the affiliates.
The fact is that you never called one of us (well at least 6 of the biggest affiliates in contact with me/you through our emails at the time) and nor did you send an email to any of this effect to the affiliates.
Clearly this is never going to be agreement between DBPN and the affiliates on this – I don’t think it’s a conspiracy on your part. I am just basing my opinions on the facts. And from the threads and posts I can find on the subject it seems the majority (not all) affiliates believe that you guys did not act in good faith.
I would be more than happy to promote DBPN again when you guys want me to…just drop me a line and let’s see if we can resolve the differences
Best wishes
