12/11: Rome Casino Is Not Leaving US Market

Even with Microgaming’s recent withdrawal from the US Market, Rome Casino says they are Staying.

November 11, 2008 – As Microgaming and its family of online casinos shuts its doors to U.S. players this week, RomeCasino.com has issued a statement confirming that it is committed to continuing to serve the American market. In fact, the company noted in a news release today that it is actually "increasing its support staff to accommodate a flood of new players that have been blocked by their former favorite casinos."

"Rome Partners, the popular online casino's affiliate program, has been extremely busy with inquiries from webmasters that are scrambling to reroute their U.S. traffic now blocked by their previous partners," the company notes in the press release.

"Our affiliates want to convert their U.S. traffic and they want to be paid for the life of their client," comments Josh Cartu, CEO of Rome Casino. "And that is what we give them."

Fully seizing the moment, the company has also announced the launch of a new $1,000 New Player Bonus. Rome Casino also emphasizes that it's maintaining its popular 200% deposit bonuses.

"With America's love of ancient Rome and recent Hollywood hits focusing on the Roman Empire, RomeCasino.com has catapulted into the spotlight and has become the home to thousands of online gamblers in a very short time," states the news release. "Rome became one of the best online casinos for U.S. players when they announced their flawless processing abilities."

I say:” WTG to Rome Casino, for not tucking tail and running. When this is all over the US players will remember who left them, and who stayed for them!!”

05/11: Fortune and Vegas Affiliates Suspend Signups for New Players from the United States

Please be aware that this change will only affect new players from creating accounts that are located in the United States. Existing players will not be affected, and we can say without a shadow of a doubt that it's business as usual. They will not have any problems playing, cashing out, logging in or depositing. It's also business as usual for the affiliate end of things, aside from updating a ton of web pages.....Thank you, Mr. Beshear!

We seriously doubt that any group is going to pull out of the USA market, and we have a strong feeling that everything will go back to 'normal' once the domain forfeiture hearing wraps up on December 3rd in Kentucky.

That's all the information we have for now, but we will be posting updates as they come in.

In closing, if you're an affiliate, please update your pages accordingly and let your American website visitors know that they cannot create a new account with the above casinos and poker rooms. Also, be sure to let them know that if they currently have an account with these properties, that there's nothing to worry about.

22/10: Slotland’s New Affiliate Dashboard

Slotland is known for their unique slots and video and 3-D casinos. See below their new affiliate dashboard launch that includes new products, with gross commission structure and continues to pay on deposits, NOT just losses.

22 October 2008 (London, UK) – Slotland has just launched a brand new Affiliate Program dashboard that combines their new 3D casino, WinADay.com, with their original slots and video poker site which is now available in English (www.Slotland.com) and Spanish (http://es.slotland.com). One thing that’s NOT new is Slotland’s uniquely generous “Gross Commission” structure that puts more money in affiliate’s accounts than most by paying commissions on all money deposited by referred players, not just on their losses.

“We have a lot of loyal, long-term players,” said Affiliate Manager Hannah Morante. “We have some players that have been with us almost since we started ten years ago! We have affiliates that continue to earn income every month on players that they referred to us years ago.”

“In the early days of the industry, some programs paid a percentage of deposits, but those have mostly changed to the Net Gaming model, probably because they feel that they ended up taking all the risk of a player winning,” said Riaan de Jager of Online-Gambling-Insider.com. “I suppose earning off net wagering is potentially much more lucrative than earning off deposits. But what about when a player wins? Then the affiliate can find themselves with a negative balance. So another thing I like about Slotland is that they don’t carry over negative balances.”

“I like Slotland’s ‘gross commission’ structure because I can always rely on making a consistent income and I never have to worry about having a negative month,” said Antoine Tardif of CasinoRanking.com – the super-affiliate that recently donated a year of Slotland commissions to Slotland’s African aid project. “Regardless of how other casinos perform I can rely on the money earned from Slotland. I do think that affiliates earn more with this revenue model and I wish other affiliate programs would duplicate it. It’s had a big impact as every day with Slotland is a day of profit and there never are negative days. Over a period of years this makes a huge difference on the bottom line.”

The Slotland Affiliates Program was founded in 1998 and is one of the oldest and most reputable affiliate programs in the gambling industry. It offers high-converting online casino products, long-term profits from loyal players, as well as fast and reliable payments. Slotland.com and WinADay.com pay up to 25% on all player deposits with no deductions for withdrawals or bonuses. There is never any negative carryover.

Slotland celebrated their 10th birthday at CAP Euro last month in Barcelona. While in Spain, the company also celebrated the launch of their new Spanish site and introduced affiliates to the new WinADay.com 3D casino. Photos and video clips from these events are available from the Slotland.com news blog: www.slotlandnews.blogspot.com.



Prospective online casino affiliates can find information on Slotland’s unique affiliate program at www.SlotlandAffiliates.com.


About Slotland.com
Established in 1998, Slotland.com is renowned for its fairness, security and sincerity. Slotland.com’s progressive jackpot is currently won on average every six weeks and usually stands at over $100,000, making it one of the most frequently won jackpots on the Internet. In 2005, the pioneering entertainment company introduced its first slot machine for the mobile phone/PDA platform. Slotland.com has been voted “Most Unique Slot Site” and “Best Progressive Jackpot Site” by Strictly Slots Magazine readers, named “Best Web TV” in a Gambling Online Magazine poll, and selected as a finalist in the ME Awards “Best Mobile Gambling Company” category. The philanthropic company continues to sponsor the school and community they built in Malawi (help-malawi-children-charity.org). Earlier this year, Slotland.com launched a free 3D casino, WinADay.com, a whole new kind of online casino experience with realistic three-dimensional lobbies and virtual casino employees to assist with the free instant-play Flash games, as well as FreeSlot.com which features free non-stop slots tournament with nearly $10,000 in weekly prize money.

About WinADay.com Casino
A product of Slotland Entertainment S.A., WinADay.com Casino is an instant-play Flash casino offering free and real-money slot machines and video poker games. 3D lobbies and virtual casino employees provide an extremely realistic casino experience.

I say “Keep up the good work Slotland”!! If you are not an affiliate now is the time to get in on a good thing, and keep up with the mew technology.

27/05: Betonsports: If you are Owed Money, Please Step Forward

If you played on Betonsports, and never got your money, they are asking for you to please come forward. There are a lot of you out there still waiting on your pay! Go to the address at end of this page and ask for it!

BETONSPORTS: PLEA FOR OWED PLAYERS TO STEP FORWARD
Liquidators provide update showing $25 million shortfall

With former CEO David Carruthers and founder Gary Kaplan still confined and awaiting trial, the mid-July 2006 shutdown of online gambling group BetonSports was again in the spotlight this weekend, with the liquidators of the failed group giving interested parties an update.

Peter Wastell and Nigel Hamilton-Smith of Vantis plc, who were appointed liquidators of Betonsports (Antigua) Ltd, a subsidiary of BetOnSports plc, in November 2007, especially appealed to any owed players who have not yet submitted a claim to step forward.

Betonsports (Antigua) Ltd was the operating company within the BetonSports group responsible for the individual gaming contracts and betting transactions with the players, primarily in the United States of America. Vantis was appointed by the Financial Services Regulatory Commission (FSRC) of Antigua and Barbuda to liquidate what remained of the company following its shutdown by US Department of Justice action.

Vantis Business Recovery Services, a subsidiary of Vantis plc was also appointed to act as Liquidators of BetonSports plc, the parent company in the United Kingdom, on 16 May 2007, and Liquidators of three other subsidiary companies in the group on 15 August 2007.

BoS (Antigua) Limited ceased trading as a result of an indictment and permanent Injunction issued by the Department of Justice in the United States of America against the company and certain other companies in the group in July 2006. However, BoS (Antigua) Limited, since November 2006, has been under the complete control of the FSRC, pursuant to an order of the Antiguan High Court which remains in effect (see previous InfoPowa reports).

In their update, the liquidators outline the difficulties they and BetonSports have faced since the shutdown in July 2006. They describe the "devastating effect" that this had on the formerly successful company's financial position, and the consequent need for the provision of contractual severance and termination costs in respect of the company's call centres, many hundreds of staff, supplier and finance contracts.

On 22 November 2006 the FSRC obtained an order of the High Court in Antigua effectively freezing the company's assets and preventing ongoing trading or distribution of assets.

In a letter to interested parties, the liquidator says: "By the time of our appointment, the company’s books and records demonstrated that its realisable assets were less than the aggregate of its liabilities, or in short, the company was insolvent.

"A statement of the company's assets and liabilities provided by the Betonsports board of directors in February 2007, seven months prior to our involvement, shows assets of the company of $10million, and liabilities of $26.9million.

"Although the liabilities figure includes betters/players/customers balances of $6.8million, we now know that these players are owed over $15.8million (as per the company's database)."

BetonSports is therefore insolvent on a book value basis by over $25 million, the statement concludes, significantly hinting at further legal action against some of the former directors by pointing out that the US authorities have taken an active interest in the case, particularly in regard to the actions "of some of the Betonsports group directors." Vantis cannot comment further on this aspect as legal proceedings are ongoing.

Turning to the company's assets, Vantis revealed that it received funds passed on by the FSRC in respect of asset realisations recovered by it of $2 million. A further $8 million is known to be outstanding from debtors across the globe, and Vantis is attempting to collect in the relevant jurisdictions.

"We have a duty to assess the viability of pursuing these assets, by reference to legal advice and to attempt recovery where it is economic to do so," the statement advises, revealing that Vantis has received the approval of the relevant US authorities for the collection of these debts.

The overriding obligation and intention of the High Court in Antigua, the FSRC, and Vantis itself is to protect the interests of all creditors, and ensure that all creditors are contacted as far as possible, the statement asserts.

"Many players have not been reached because they have invalid email addresses, or the database information held for them on the Betonsports system has been corrupted. The responses/claims from player creditors has been disappointing, and we are seeking the guidance of the Court in Antigua to circulate a national newspaper advertisement in the USA, and contact other players by regular mail where email contact has not been possible," the statement continues.

"All of these actions are under the supervision and sanction of the Court, and the authorities place great emphasis on reaching and paying as many of the players as possible from assets recovered."

In the interests of transparency, Vantis has disclosed its fee structure from the liquidation as 5 percent of asset recoveries and $20 per creditor claim agreed, reconciled to the Betonsports system, and paid. The 5 percent collection fee does not apply to funds passed to the liquidator by the FSRC, and legal fees and disbursements are charged to the Liquidation estate at cost.

The statement closes with an assurance that Vantis is seeking the best possible outcome for all concerned, but cannot currently estimate the timing and value of any distribution which may ultimately be returned to the players/creditors.

Owed players who have not yet submitted a claim are urged to do so at:

What are you waiting on? If you are still owed money, go there and claim it!
