Affliate news
We would like to take this opportunity to welcome you to WagerShare. The integration of the Money Mechanic brands is now in its final stage
and we’re aiming for a seamless cross-over.
We have already created you a WagerShare account, into which all of your Money Mechanic players have been mapped. For the rest of
March you will continue to earn via Money Mechanic but from April onwards, these players will be available in your WagerShare account.
Your current Money Mechanic links will work in WagerShare until July 1st 2006, by which time you will need to have replaced these links with
the ones from the WagerShare marketing tools section.
As April 1st lands on a Saturday this year, the actual integration won’t happen until the Monday which is April 3rd. Rest assured though that any
revenue generated at any of the Money Mechanic brands between April 1st and April 3rd will still be tracked in your WagerShare account.
Your old Money Mechanic account has been merged into your new WagerShare account, login details to which can be found below:
>From April 1st the Money Mechanic brands will be subject to the WagerShare terms and conditions and commission structure. When you first
login to your WagerShare account you will be prompted to accept these terms and conditions so please make sure you read them carefully.
The only brand that won’t be integrated into WagerShare on April 3rd is Jackpots In A Flash. However, I should point out that this is only in
terms of marketing tools. Your Jackpots In A Flash (JIAF) players will be mapped to your new WagerShare account and you will continue to
earn from them as normal. Similarly, if you have existing JIAF links on your website then these will continue to work until July 1st and you will still
be able to register new players. The designers here want to have chance to redesign the JIAF website and create a whole host of new
marketing materials before making it available in the marketing tools section, at which time you’ll be able to promote the casino full steam
ahead!
We have done everything in our power to make this integration as seamless and therefore as simple as possible for you. However, if you feel
you are receiving this email in error as you already have a WagerShare account, please contact us at your earliest convenience to make
sure that the correct account is used and all players are mapped accordingly.
We’re very excited to have you on board and we’re looking forward to a very profitable future together. WagerShare has won multiple awards
in the past and recently won a poll, where affiliates voted us their most profitable Microgaming affiliate program. With your added support and
the inclusion of the extra brands, we’re looking forward to going from strength to strength together.
Best regards,
Tim Whyles

Grassroots Organization Expresses Strong Opposition to Leach Bill
Washington D.C. (March 15, 2006) – The Poker Players Alliance, a grassroots organization of more than 20,000 American poker players, today voiced its strong opposition to Representative Jim Leach’s (R-Iowa) bill, H.R. 4411, the Unlawful Internet Gambling Act, which is scheduled for mark-up in the House Financial Services Committee.
“The Poker Players Alliance opposes any effort to limit the rights of poker players to enjoy the game as they do today whether online, at a poker club or in the privacy of their own homes,” said Michael Bolcerek, president of the Poker Players Alliance.
“For decades poker has been a game enjoyed by presidents, generals, members of Congress, chief justices and average Americans. Today, more than 70 million Americans play the game. It’s totally mystifying why placing the word ‘Internet’ in front of poker somehow makes this American pastime unacceptable.”
“If enacted, the Leach plan would dig far too deep into the pocketbook’s of Americans. Deputizing banks to serve as the morality police for the government would mandate financial institutions with unprecedented and unfunded obligations. Most Americans choose to deposit their money in a bank with the understanding that their resources will be safe, not with the understanding that the bank will scrutinize and monitor every withdrawal, transfer, and individual check.”
“According to Forbes’ magazine there are 5 FBI agents assigned to internet gambling, we demand that American taxpayers and voters know the full cost of enforcing a ban on our rights to play poker on-line.”
“Moreover, the Leach bill unfairly prohibits online poker, while it gives special protections to other activities such as intrastate gambling, on-line lotteries, betting on horse racing and certain fantasy sports. It is disingenuous to oppose Internet gambling and then write a bill that makes select forms of online gambling legal.”
“The Poker Players Alliance urges members of the Committee to oppose this misguided and inequitable legislation.”
The Poker Players Alliance www.pokerplayersalliance.org is a non-profit organizations advocating on behalf of American poker players.

2006 Casino Affiliate Convention in Amsterdam Will Discuss Italy and Other Countries Blocking Online Casino Sites
NEW YORK, March 15 /PRNewswire/ — Ticonderoga Ventures, Inc. announces that the 2006 European Casino Affiliate Convention ( http://www.casinoaffiliateconvention.com ) will discuss the latest controversial issues concerning the Italian Government’s decision to block over 600 online casino websites.
The Casino Affiliate Convention will be held on April 9-10, 2006 in Amsterdam at the NH Grand Krasnapolsky Hotel. It is the largest conference and expo on marketing and advertising for the gaming industry.
In February 2006, Italy announced that it would block IP addresses of online gaming sites without an Italian gaming license. The issues that resulted in this decision along with the actions taken thus far, as well as alternative options for gaming site operators will be discussed. Thibault Verbiest will present. He is a founding partner of the Law Firm ULYS ( http://www.ulys.net ), a leading gaming law firm in Europe.
The event will also discuss the potential of other countries following similar policies, including technical issues involved with implementing filters for websites containing gambling content. Management options for both operators and affiliates will be discussed.
Planning for a crisis in advance is better than dealing with the aftermath of one that has a material adverse result on a business. Toward that end, Peter Milovic, CEO of In Charge ( http://www.incharge.nl ) will provide the business analysis and decision process required for crisis management, and options available for online gaming industry management in the event of severely reduced internet traffic.
Additional topics discussed at the event include European search technologies, software, rakeback for poker, mobile gambling, and others.
