Hi Splinterfree – I knew that people would automatically jump to this conclusion, and I can still *explicitly* state that Webroute and Cpays are Two Separate Companies. Different management, different offices, different staff – *everything*. What is now apparent though, is that both companies are (or were) owned by the same person originally (although that person owns about 40 odd companies!)
Anyway, Its fantastic news for us.
For those of you that dont know, Webroute Services is the UK Marketing arm of Blackpool Club Casino.
The deal means that Webroute will cease to exist and will become William Hill Online, and will not only be promoting Blackpool Club in the UK, but also William Hill, *and* also all the current CPays brands (as far as I understand) in the UK too. Obviously this isnt going to happen overnight, and neither Affiliates or Players will experience any traumas whilst the changes are being made. All that will happen is that more offers and opportunities will be available as we move all the companies into one platform.
Its a massive deal and I am having lots of meetings today to try and understand the new structure, but the upshot is that in 6 months time there will be a new interface that allows affiliates to promote all the above brands through one company.
Obviously all this will take time, but if anyone has any questions then just post them here and I will try and answer them to the best of my ability. When I have more news and a better understanding then I will start a new thread and we can take it from there!
