Let me straighten this out...

We have also added

empirecasino.com


- Ronnie

and no we don't rip off everybody, just the people we don't like.

[Chips]

Well I have to admit, you are very kind to admit that you do rip of people. What criteria do you use for "People you don't like"? I know of a few people you ripped of, and what is it about me that you don't like? I am owed funds from your rogue network.

Thanks for updating me on empirecasino.com, I have added them to the list. Feel free to stop in as you add any more unsuspecting victims of the endless ripoff you run.

[gametechsolutions]

I invite all those who have been "ripped off" to come to Canada. If the claims are valid I will have all reimbursed. These include all the employees that are in on our scam. I think we've must have cheated at least 10 million dollars from stupid people.

Yes I will continue to update all those new scam sites we put up. We are doing a whole bunch more poker sites from gametechsolutions.com, as our casino scam sites are getting a bit old.

[pokerpeople]

Is this guy for real or is he proper taking the piss?

[Dodger]

Just wanted to add, in case some don't know yet, Eurolinx (Microgaming) stopped paying withdrawals about 2 months ago and now is out of business. I made a withdrawal a month ago, when I found out they were having withdrawal "delays", haven't received it yet and I'm pretty sure that money is gone now.

What about monies owed to affiliates then clever guy.
Im personally owed over $600

[gametechsolutions]

Like I said, you gotta come to Canada. I will glady right you a check.

[Chips]

Well that makes no sense Ron. In the world of iGaming transactions occur over the miles. Why should someone have to travel to Vancouver to be paid what you owe them? Make no sense at all.

[pokerpeople]

Like I said, you gotta come to Canada. I will glady right you a check.

Were you born stupid or does it take alot of practice?

You expect me to pay for a return flight from England to Canada to collect a cheque that will more than likely bounce back to England quicker than the flight.

Very funny comedian.

Hello Mr. Belstone,

Sorry for the delay in catching up.

I've forwarded all of your details off to management and I hvae confirmed that as per an agreement with BigDaddysCasino.com management in mid-June (the same one that saw player payments start up again), all affiliate payments will be settled as well.

Just to be sure, from where do you derive your figures of:

Poker Lifetime Total (1 year, 24 days) - Total: $559.07

and

Affiliate Revenue For Lifetime - Totals: $626.25

I was able to get a confirmation from someone in the affiliates department for the $626.25 amount. I'm curious as to where the $559.07 amount comes from. Was this pulled from your affiliate login at bigdaddyscasino.com? If so, which report? Thanks so much for your patience and I certainly hope that I can help speed along the payment process for you.

Hello Mr. Belstone,

I was able to get in and see the Poker Lifetime Total of $559.07, under the profit summary report (PSR) you gave me.

I also saw the other figure of $626.25 under the Super Affiliate Revenue Summary report (SARSR).

The SARSR total includes whatever is in the PSR, they are not two separate totals owed to affiliates.

I've attached a screenshot showing the lifetime totals for another affiliate's PSR & SARSR. You can see the SARSR at the bottom includes the total from the PSR for this affiliate, with about a 6-cent difference likely to to rounding up/down at various stages in the calculation.

Now, in your case the $559.07 from the PSR is also shown in the SARSR however it's listed as $569.35 for a reason I haven't yet been able to explain. Normally the two reports' totals for this one item can vary by a few pennies due to rounding up/down however this is an extra credit of $10.28 to you. In any case, BigDaddys is perfectly willing to let that stand, but would just like to make it clear that the $500+ sum and the $600 sum are not two separate balances owing to you. The larger $600+ sum includes the smaller sum already in its total.

You will be receiving a form letter shortly regarding the final steps to have payment made to you in the amount of $626.25 USD. In the meantime, please feel free to contact myself if you have any questions.

I was then asked to check details sign and return a form whixh I did on the 6th August


Hello Mr. Belstone,

I was away last week and was unable to personally answer any of your emails.

IGS has received your signed form and we are now waiting for payment to be made. These payments should have been made by the operator (licensee) of BigDaddysCasino.com in the past, and it is only after a lengthy legal process that IGS has finally stepped in to take over these payments for them.

I understand that you have endured a much longer wait time than anyone should have had to deal with, and I look forward to having these payments settled. I can assure you that if and when I have news on this, you will be the first to know. Until then, feel free to contact our support team at any time but understand that they may not always have any news to give.

So Mr Smart Ass I have proven my case and want my money pronto.

[gametechsolutions]

Yes I am stupid. But I am also holding your moola!

What do you want me to do. Our company is nearly bankrupt, although I have money personally I can't pay you myself since that's my own money. I'd have to lay off a few more employees to pay off even a small part of what we really owe and lay off everybody else to pay all affiliates. If you want I can direct you to a few people in our company that might be able to make payment to you... but they are employees

you should not get involved in gambling affiliation in the first place ifyou cannot take the heat.
