Interesting stuff about Vegas VIP Lounge.

They say that Vegas Affiliates has nothing to do with them? That's odd. I'm hoping our representative can give us more insight on this.

Links are coming down if players are being directed to this "portal" as APCW claims. And Floridita and Grand Casino Venice are not accredited casinos. Players are being directed to these casinos via exit pop-ups. What's up with that?

I've just PMd their rep - Vegas VIP Lounge. I thought in J. Todd's video Vegas Affiliates claimed they had nothing to do with this portal - but their rep has the same name here?

Eh?

minivegas.tv and VegasVIPLounge.com are on the same servers:

dns1.colosseum.com
dns2.colosseum.com

Yep!

Not nice when you send a player to a site that is approved, and s/he ends up some place that isn't.

It's not just that, if this company is claiming that it has nothing to do with the portal Vegas VIP Lounge - then what is it doing there? Perhaps the Auditor can fill us in more here.

Actually, it was said that they have 'no direct connection' to Vegas VIP Lounge. That comment is what I took from this email where the Affiliate Manager says as much to my question.

Yea, we noticed something similar but did not publish this screen shot because there was no denial that they were related in some way:

What's going on is that Vegas Affiliates says they are "indirectly" related to Vegas VIP Lounge. So why --- if they are "indirectly" related, would there be an exit pop programed into the page?

It's not a stretch to see that... what is most likely going on... is that Mini Vegas has this nice set up to hijack players from webmasters at Vegas Affiliates. The people at Vegas Affiliates may or may not be aware of the magnitude of this... and they may not be to blame for programming the sites to do these things.

However, it's our position that if they are so ignorant of what Mini Vegas is doing... if they are so clueless to what is going on with the coding of properties they promote... that's almost just as bad as if they did this all themselves
