Tradition Casino and likely all Rival casinos are Rogue. All Evidence shown here.

which is not a bad thing. It also appears to be very quiet on Rival's front and from what I can see it was expected this thread died. Any more developments Tradition? Were all the peeps reimbursed?

[incrediblestuff]

The OP was reimbursed, and tradition owner posted he /she reimbursed everyone affected, but that is not proven, only said.
JHV posted he was reimbursed to his surprise, and rivals were taken of the accredited list anyway, thats all thats happened in a nutshell

This post is merely an *opinion*, and we all know what those are worth. My impression of Rival and its evil twin Top Game is that they saw an open playing field when Microgmaing left the US market, and perhaps they believed that less competition meant less scrutiny. Or does anyone believe Micro did not dominate the US market?

Personally, I've read enough (not just here) that I would not deposit at either brand.

On the other hand RTG sure seems to be adapting........

So this era of Tradition Casino ends...they went belly up. Got an affiliate announcement from them.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT 22th MAY 2010

Dear affiliates,

Foremost, we deeply apologize for this brutal announcement. Rival Gaming, the Tradition casino software provider is responsible for all banking transactions: our company has never had any agreement with any payment processor. Last months activity decreased because of processing problems both in U.S. and Europe that Rival Gaming did not anticipate, nor resolve.

As you know, the game industry is a sector that is both highly competitive and have unstable legal terms: first, our society can not continue to pay winnings players considering that player have received a match bonus on his deposit and that his deposit amount that enabled this winning has been blocked by a bank named X or Y... Until today, we paid all our players.

In addition, if your own players deposited and if these deposits are held by the bank, we are not able to pay you any commission, although, like us, you worked hard. We can not endure this situation.

Last, we can not stand to see dying Tradition casino by lack of support from the majority of our affiliates members. That said, we can not blame you, you expect a financial return as the fruit of your work, exactly as us.

Tradition casino has been created in order to give us the opportunity to prove that an online casino could establish a trusted relationship with players and affiliates, with transparency, and with all the love for this profession that characterized each member of our team. Therefore, given that we do not want to cheat nor "shave" your stats and/or stop pay our winners, we decided to stop the bleeding by stopping now our activity.

However, we waited several months before taking this decision, we also tried to find common ground with Rival. Unfortunately, no agreement and no viable solution has been presented to us, therefore we don't have any other choice but to cease Tradition Casino.

Igaming.pro website will be online until June 5th Igaming.pro, like this you will continue to access to your statistics and we really hope that, in the future, Rival Gaming will honor its commitments with you, better than they have done with us.

Although Tradition casino is already offline, your existing players can still continue to play and you are still cumuling earnings. However, please immediately stop sending any traffic on Tradition Casino website. Rival Gaming has already bought a domain name related to our name "Tradition Casino", so it means that Rival have a clear idea about the strategy they want to adopt with players and affiliates.

Our approach has often seemed unusual, we know this. There was gale of laughter and some conflicts as well; please keep make the most of this situation and do not forget that we did our best. Until 5th June you can still leave us your comments, simply send us an email : affiliates@igaming.pro.

We apologize again for the inconvenience and we wish you continued success in your business affiliation.

Thank you for your trust.

Warmest regards,


Igaming.pro Team

First Slotpower walks from Rival accusing Rival of being at fault, now Tradition does.

I thought Rival had solved it's processing issues - apparently not.

Hi all,

like other casinos (not all), treat their players with little appreciation or respect

I just wanted to agree with the above and note it again in hopes maybe some casino manager will have it sink in because obviously it is something still not fully understood to as the writer stated, not all, but certainly a share of casinos.

read enough (not just here) that I would not deposit at either brand.

On the other hand RTG sure seems to be adapting........

Nothing to say but agree with top game, however I've had a quality experience with box24 so far, and I think betus is also rival, whom I imagine are pretty decent about their approach.

I can't speak on the blackjack, just that my experience with the slots have been (... sometimes crappy), but other times quite nice so I would play them again .. but I would stick to a select few of rivals.

And that due to ease getting paid by 24 and that all else fails, I have a contact with 24 whom is ever-gaining my confidence.

..........

Agree with RTG, I've always felt they had very good software, and were adaptable , its just that there is always something that comes along and prevents them from being .... a MGS.

Anyway,... I came here to see how everyone liked the new mystery software for the MGS casinos (for US players) , so I'm off to find that.

What happened to this horrible sham tradition casino operation? When you hit download there you get the winpalace application which is rtg software?

[maphesto]

The casino still works but Rival is operating it themselves. The former manager obiously owns the webpage and gets affiliate income for sending players to winpalace instead.

[Suave]

Really a sham operations run by amateurs until the end. So if a player goes to the site, checks and likes those silly bonuses, downloads, he'll get a total different casino software and promotions, terms etc?
They could have done something much more informative, cleaner and not as misleading, as barakacasino have done when closing. Old habits die hard I suppose.
