But do they have the wisdom?
Wondering what i’m talking about?
Well lets say tomorrow Vegas goes online. What chance do you think casinos like those at Gambling Wages …. which I just read a thread about …. that actually wrote a player and said in reply when asked why full payment wasn’t made ……
It states on their website that they pay VIP players $5000 per week (I’m a coolcat VIP). Anyway, they approved a $2500 Withdrawl and said it would be paid by the end of this week. I asked why they state on their website that it is $5000 and only pay $2500. The reply was ‘that’s all we could send this week’.
???
You really think this kind of behavior is going to compete with Harrahs. MGM .. ect?
And this is far from the being a single incident. The Fortune fiasco where bonus offers were fairly beat …. and they didn’t want to pay.
Only two of what are many instances where current online casinos are literally running all of this industry into the ground.
Its one thing if they can’t pay because they can’t get past obstacles beyond the casino’s control.. though even that is unlikely to be forgiven ….. but then you throw in this kind of outrageous behavior and …… let tell you folks …. we don’t stand much chance if/when one of those big name casinos comes online and frankly I don’t think from an affs pov .. that they are going to want much to do with us …. other than perhaps buy a few ad spots which IMHO will selling pretty cheap …… come that time.
This is just a wake up call to all online casinos that you still have the chance to build a reputation of honor …. quality….. and worthyiness.
Or you can keep up with allowing snotty customer service .. slow pays ….. etc , etc, etc….
and you’re going to be really sorry at a later date.
I’m not saying every online casino is like this . … but there are too many not seeing the big picture … and even those that are …….. this is still a good reminder that you got trouble coming …… that you’d better be very diligent about how you handle business now ….. so that you have a running start should Vegas come online.
thank you for your time

Your right, It’s the brand’s strength, reputation, and professionalism that will decimate many existing in the industry. The industry standards will be raised greatly. I think that the successful ones will be posturing now on both the affiliate side and the player side.
places like Coolcat wouldnt have problems having ways to pay people
Hi,
maybe you didn’t catch the gist… they paid the player . (can ‘t remember if it was coolcat but anyway…. ) ….. but only paid half of what their own terms say can be cashed out.
Now how is that a problem paying? The casino itself sent an email stating
The reply was ‘that’s all we could send this week’.
sorry but I fail to see any problem other than they chose to only pay half.

I think many casinos have a cash flow problem.

It sounds like it is Cool cat because I know gamblingwages can only make payments in increments of 1500, 2500, or 3000 depending on what method you are using and they can only send out a certain amount per week. I’m backed up on payments with them because they can’t send full amounts but at least they are doing the best they can.
I can understand a limit per transaction, but common now — a weekly limit. So who exactly is it that you think puts a limit on how much they can send a player or affiliate per week. The weekly limit police?

What I’m saying is things change on a daily basis for the casinos especially if they are dealing with US customers. Whatever payout method/bank or whatever they use is probably limiting them to the amount of money they can send out.

They said they can only pay half this week, not only pay half.
All I’m saying is people are looking a gift horse in the mouth although I agree they should update their terms if it says $5000.
This is certainly possible in today’s climate. You are dealing with a VIP player here though, so no gift horse situation. And she has a right to expect the payment outlined in the terms.
The terms defimitely need to be adjusted asap.
But anyone dealing with any online casino at this time needs to be fully aware that there are banking issues galore.

Sure there are a lot of problems. But I also think some programs/casinos use the gambling bill as a scape goat to pay players and affiliates in a timely manner all money due. I also think its fair to assume that any casino offering neteller and click2pay as a deposit and withdrawal option certainly has the ability to pay more than $3K a week. They are simply choosing not to do so. I could understand if a casino says they have a $3K limit for certain methods, but not across the board.

The bank would be my guess :hattip: I just don’t see any motive whatsoever for a casino to piss off affiliates and players intentionally when they should be killing it right now if they take US players.
I would agree if they only had a bank transfer or check withdrawal option and even that is a stretch. The only reason I would see them setting limits with the bank withdrawals would be not to raise any red flags, but I seriously doubt a limit is forced on them. Would you bank with a bank that tries to dictate how you spend your cheese? And because they offer click2pay and many others it seems to me that this is just a choice they have made to set this limit. I know Click2pay and Neteller don’t try to dictate how much you can send to someone, so I can’t see any reason at all to set a limit across the board. Perhaps the greed factor, cash flow problems— I don’t know bro, but I question any site that sets limits as low as that. Thats ridiculous.
