Apparently, US affiliates can still market Doyles outside of the U.S. My
affiliate manager must have been misinformed:
IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT FOR AFFILIATES
Last week, the management of the Doyle Brunson Poker Network (DBPN) has reluctantly decided not to permit online real money play by US-based players in view of the passage of the Unlawful Internet Gaming Enforcement Act (UIGEA) and the cessation of operations by Neteller and other payment processors. US online poker players are not permitted to sign up for real money play or deposit funds into existing accounts. Commencing March 1, 2007, all US play on DoylesRoom.com will be blocked and US players will be able to access only the withdrawals page.
In light of these changes, we urge you to focus your recruitment efforts as a member of Doyle’s Room Affiliate Program only towards non US-resident individuals. Our department is working on new tools that will help you recruit more players outside the US-market. We’ll keep you posted.
Many of you have been contacting us, and we want to tell you that we truly care about your concerns. But unfortunately, the affiliates who had US-players as referrals will not continue receiving commissions after February 28th, 2007 since their play at DoylesRoom will cease on that date.
Our next affiliate payment for February’s play that will be processed during the first week of March will be paid as normal. However, no further payments will be processed for US-residents’ rake.
DoylesRoom.com will now increase its focus on Canada, Europe, Asia-Pacific and Latin America. We look forward to continuing working with you to help us grow in these markets.
We would like to send special thanks for those affiliates that have been showing their support and want to keep on working with Doyle’s Room outside the US-market. We are committed to working closely with you.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact your affiliate account manager by sending an email to [email protected]
