In light of Casino Blasters recent announcement that they are leaving the Canadian market, I popped over to their website to see if I could find out more about the situation. What I noticed was this unfortunate testimonial:
Your commitment to your affiliates is immensely appreciated. It is nice to see that some affiliate programs have integrity and actually honor their terms agreement. “The player is yours for life” actually means something to you! It is not like elsewhere… “Your players are yours for life unless of course a law is passed and we can no longer pay you…oh, you didn’t know?” Thank You CasinoBlasters!
– MitchWell, actually Mitch; Casino Blasters is exactly like elsewhere.
In all fairness, they were the one Playtech program that mapped existing players back to the affiliates when they left the US – by transferring players and affiliates to Golden Casino, which continues to operate in the US.
Not sure if they are doing the same with Canadian players now.
All other playtech did not bother to do anything to preserve affiliate income and likely just sold the US playerbase keeping all the money.
I don’t mean to sound like a dick here, but have you seen a contract that says:
“We’ll violate any laws to make sure our customer is happy”
of course not. Governments change laws and those laws help some people and screw others. I would never expect people to break laws or take the risk of breaking laws in the own countries to protect my interests. I wish these folks hadn’t shutdown, but i’ve reached the same conclusion as them.
We’re all (affiliates and operators) pretty much on the “get screwed team” in this case.:unhappy:

I agree. So perhaps they shouldn’t post testimonials that make it sound like they are some incredible entity that does not worry about these “rogue” governments.
