The whole industry is built upon trust and firms like G Palace never earnt any trust.
Oddson software has come a long way.
There was a problem with one of the games a few months back, it was called a malfunction and while some players remain highly critical, Spearmaster and Bryan (casinomeister) confirm the malfunction after having been given access to make that judgement.
Player feedback on the new slots is very good, deal or no deal is a winner to say the least, may well be the best slot online. Their “spin the wheel” slot (not it’s name, I always confuse all of these) also has big fans.
I do think we should have been kept informed so people could have updated websites and informed players accordingly. IMO that was a bad call, many affs keep their sites updated to make sure players will not be faced with unpleasant surprises.
Being redirected to a casino of a different software that does not have your account is an unpleasant surprise and reflects badly on both the aff and the casino.
That said, I applaud the fact that the switch was not to RTG. RTG stats and accounting methods are IMO lousy for affiliates. We have more than enough RTG now, and there are only a handful of good ones I would recommend. This whole trend of going RTG has bothered me all along. There need to be player choices and alternatives. RTG ruling the US market has not been my favorite thought.
As far as I know, Oddson (Vegas Technologies) accepts all players.

I’m sure the switch to Goldencasino will track all your players.
I guess I’m the odd one and hope I’m not wrong but over 4 1/2 years I’ve been paid thousands of dollars from them, so I have NO reason to believe there out to get the affiliates.
If I trust anyone its CasinoBlasters.
I spoke to Jeff yesterday, for over an hour, and he made it sound like all was rosy, in fact promised “wonderful news”. Fact is it couldn’t have been worse news. Golden Casino has been in business for about a week, BestCasinoPartners (not much thought into this name) even less. He also promised stats would be fully tracked but this is not true in my case. Reality is I was lied to, as were Professor and others who spoke to Jeff yesterday. So I choose not to believe anything that comes from Jeff.

Let’s face it, Casino Blasters is making the best of a bad situation.
With Playtech no longer accepting US players, Casino Blasters had no choice but to move to another platform for US players. Hence, we get Best Casino Partner. Hopefully the migration will go well and affiliates will be earning from their US player databases. At least Casino Blasters is moving quickly which is more than we can say for some other affiliate programs.
There are two threads regarding this, so I’ll copy what I said already over in the other one:
ok, trying to clear this up:
Allstar, Blasters: Non US players only, courtesy of playtech.
Golden: US players will be mapped to Golden, and with them all the corresponding affiliate accounts. So affiliates will not be left in the cold like with so many other playtech programs, but their US players remain credited to them.
The migration of stats to the Golden (best casino Partners) will take place over the course of the next couple of weeks. Don’t panic until later in the month if nothing is there.
Blasters and Allstate did what they could to save the day for affiliates. They took the touble to make sure people don’t lose their hard earned players, even when Blasters itself couldn’t profit from them anymore.
They did the best they could with a bad situation, and I commend them for it.
so what heppend when my allstar players goes there who is the same as person as Domas Cpays player?
The situation sucks but I actually feel like they did a hell of a lot more than any of the other sites. At least we didnt get totally screwed. :toidy:
Well the test account that i opened and depoisted into last night at the golden casino from my own tracing link is still not registering on my stats , so dont know how good this is going to be
I see I have multiple accounts there too.. too much trouble to combine by email huh

Ok I have had enough time to cool off and I just want to say the following about all this:
Pro:
1. I am happy that Casino Blasters has offered an alternative to their US based players rather then just slam the door in their faces like some of the other playtech operators did.
2. I generally like OddsOn / Vegas Tech software and for me it has performed well over the years under the Casino Coins brand.
3. Until this point I have had a great deal of faith in Casino Blasters and believe that they do value their affiliates and fully expect them to pay us and honor their commitments.
Con:
1. I was and am EXTREMELY displeased in how the changes were communicated. I dont appreciate being treated like a child and kept in the dark until AFTER changes are made. We are partners and PARTNERS COMMUNICATE. There is no excuse for how this was handled.
2. I was and am EXTREMELY unhappy with the decision to just switch where traffic was being directed WITHOUT prior notice to affiliates. Had we been provided notice we could have updated creatives and supporting text on our pages. Why would ANYONE think it a good idea to just shuttle off visitors to a DIFFERENT place then they thought they were going? It’s disorienting to the players and it makes US the referring affiliate look like imbeciles. I DONT APPRECIATE IT AT ALL WHEN A PARTNER MAKES ME LOOK LIKE AN IMBECILE IN FRONT OF MY CLIENTS.
3. I am personally VERY disappointed in how Jeff handled things with me and CAP. He SWORE that we would be told what was going on PRIOR to any actual changes being made or announced. He asked me to post to let everyone know that everything was cool and would in fact be BETTER then before. I did post because I trusted Jeff. Then within HOURS of our conversation they sent out the announcements we all received and NO, he DIDN’T call first as he promised. I found out about it when I checked the forum here. I felt like a total idiot. ESPECIALLY after I went to bat for him. I feel like I was kicked in the balls for being trusting and loyal to a long term relationship. Silly me.
4. I am not 100% satisfied that all the bugs have been worked out or that everything is being tracked or credited properly. While it may not be true, IT APPEARS that this change over is being done on the fly. That doesnt make me very confident. I am personally going to wait until I am sure everything is stable, transfered, tracked and that players can succesfully download and register to play before I take any chances with my traffic or visitors. I think this is a prudent course to follow.
5. WHY, WHY, WHY are there NO POSTS or PUBLIC RESPONSES from Casino Blasters? What’s being hidden? We are a community built around the concept of open communication. WHY is Casino Blasters totally silent here at CAP all of a sudden. I find this very disturbing and unacceptable behavior.
Ok, I said my peace
Can we get a small guy plunging a sword in his stomach for a smiley please?
This will do :shots: :Bong: :suicide:
That leaves me with like a handfull of casinos to promote to u.s players.I don’t see a Harikiri Guy.
There is this one though:
Well, the only thing I don’t understand is this:
The Allstaraffiliates links still work right? Meaning the casinos are still open for business, just not to U.S. players.
Sooo, How can I advertise one of these casinos, if an American players clicks I’ll lose him to GoldenCasino, correct?
Hopefully they will make a GEOTargeting tool other wise we all might as well take down all the casinos from AllStarAffiliates.
