Well it is nice to see that everyone is willing to dig for the facts. I am the owner operator of WorldwideVegas.com. We have been in business since 1998. In November of 2000 SureFire Commerce stole over half million dollars from us and was passing through enormous bogus chargebacks to boost their revenue.
WE were forced to sue them (settled the matter in our favor as the wanted to avoid scrutiny and the fact that they have changed hands a dozen times since then shoulld tell you something). During this period we did have a handfull of players that had redemptions that should have been processed by SFC and were not. These were payouts we submited and had the funds deducted from us and SFC never sent. We subsiquently paid every single player from our own pocket.
So in short if you want the facts on an past issue you might be wise to ask management. On that issue we essentially did not receive the processing funds from those players, had the payouts deducted from our reserves, and then paid the players again from our pockets. We believe the player should never suffer from the banking struggles the industry faces and now we are one of only a few sites that guarantees winnings in 24 hours.
As an prospective affiliate you may want to know we spend over 5MM a year promoting our advertising either through paid advertisments or affialiates. WE were one of 2 sites that MSN bestowed and exclusing contract on the last two years and have over 100,000 active players in our DB. Lasty our conversion ratios in targeted media exceed 15% from registration to depositor (higher than any client using DCEG software).
If you have any questions I welcome the opportunity to respond.
