Hi All,
I would firstly like to make something clear on this post – Villa Fortuna is not a brand within the Grand Prive Group. It is a separate brand on its own, focused at non-US players, with specific focus on the European market.
With regards to cross-marketing, a small list of players were sent invitations to play at Villa Fortuna. None of these players were linked to any affiliate. This is one of the assurances I gave all affiliates in previous discussions on CAP, and I am committed to that. As such, we ensured that the list of invited players were not linked to any affiliates.
These players were invited to play at the casino as a means to generate wagering, which is one of the requirements of getting the brand licensed.
There is currently no working affiliate program for this brand. We have been working on the setup of the affiliate program, which will also be a program that is seperate from that of Grand Prive Affiliates. We are in the testing phases of this, and we will not launch the program until we are 100% happy that it is a working product with no issues – we are not looking for a repeat of the Grand Prive Affiliates launch. The aim is for Villa Fortuna Affiliates to be run as a separate entity.
Should you find any players posting on any of your forums with regards to Villa Fortuna, please delete the posts immediately. We are not looking for the brand to be advertised in this manner.
We will advise on the affiliate program for this brand closer to the time of launch, which we hope will be no later than 1 August. Please, this date is not cast in stone. That is the launch we have set at this time, but we are doing our best to have the program ready for launch even earlier than that.
