That’s not practical because less then 4% of our membership has access to this area. Its unfair to leave those other 96% out of the discussion.
That being said we can discuss it at length in here as well if you want your comments to remain confidential. There is no reason we cant have two threads and in a way its probably more productive that way.
Since we are in private let me be candid and say if affiliates do not show any appreciation in the progress made BCP will say “No matter what we do these people will not want to work with us, so why should we do anything?”. What do I tell them in response? I kid you not, I had to fight like hell to get them to come this far.
Anyone who has discussed this with them knows they were adament they weren’t budging on that term. In our private meeting they said their income was not effected in the least bit by the change because the people who DO work with them continued to do so. This makes perfect sense as when people are earning money together they have an interest in maintaining the relationship.
It’s very easy to be a martyr when you arent earning a dime with a program, the rest of the affiliates who do earn money arent going to speak up because they dont want to get trampled by the people who seemingly despise the program. Nobody wants to be the goat.
Honestly by the posts I see now BCP has a point, no matter what they do some people will not accept them or want to work with them. That’s fine and thats a personal decision but thousands of affiliates do work with them. I do, and I do earn money with them and have never had a problem with them other then some slowness in payments occasionally. The fact is Golden Casino converts well for me (US Traffic) and player values and retention are good. I hear the exact same thing PRIVATELY from mainy US based affiliates
Point two which is not as important to non us affiliates as it is to us yanks is that they did stick with us when all other playtechs just cut and ran and sold the us player databases.
They developed an alternative. They were THE ONLY Playtech to do that. As a US based affiliate that may color my opinion of them somewhat, but I genuinely do appreciate their efforts and think it was a stand up thing to do.
Point three in their defense which I will make since we are in private is they are the only Playtech Operator I trust. Can we REALLY say the same about any of the other Playtechs?
In a virtual sea of piss poor PT operators, with far more predatory behavior, known shaving, support of black hatters and spammers and direct blackmailing by their AMs, Golden Palace was ALWAYS known as being the straightest shooters of the group. That has to count for something.
Maybe loyalty is an antiquated concept and I am a dinosaur, but I do remember when they happily sent me $XX,XXX per month for years when they could accept US players on their platform. For better or worse I am going to stick it out with them now. Again I am only speaking for myself and I wouldnt presume to tell others who or who not to work with, so these comments are my own as an affiliate not a CAP statement.
I guess I babbled on long enough. Lets continue this thread for private members and get feedback without worrying about popular opinion or in damaging a relationship you may have in place with BCP/CB.
