Hi Dcbonus,
Thank you for your post.
We are very sorry to hear about your problems and concerns regarding the Poker Champs issue.
Betfair purchased Poker Champs in November 2005. Poker Champs then continued to operate until December 2007 until it was finally shut down. You must remember that although Poker Champs was purchased by Betfair, Poker Champs was run independently.
The Poker Champs cash bonus scheme was used as a referral programme available to all Poker Champs users and linked player accounts in a pyramid scheme which is very different to a standard affiliate commission structure. This may explain why you had a large number of player accounts under your cash bonus structure and this structure does not exist in the Betfair Affiliate Programme.
If you can provide your Poker Champs username we can investigate your account and identify if any accounts have registered for a Betfair account which we can assign to your Betfair affiliate account.
In the mean time we would be very happy to work with you on the Betfair affiliate programme. If you apply at http://www.betfairaffiliates.com I can assure you that your application will be processed as a priority.
Thanks, Cam
Poker Affiliate Manager
