Hi from Topboss

[topboss]

Hi All, This is Heather from Topboss here.
I have been lurking on Casino Meisters Forum for the best part of 10 years, and figured that it was time to sign up and become involved. Ok, So I am a bit slow, but this is normal for me.
You can expect that I will comment on a post 2 years after the event happened, will get the wrong end of the stick, mix up the names of casinos, affiliate managers and generally screw up on the forum, but other than that - I do have a big heart, have gained enough knowledge after being in the industry for 10 years and hopefully can add some value to the forum.

Why do you promote The Virtual Casino Group?

You even list them in your top 20.


You have been lurking on the forum for 'the best part of ten years'?!?!?!

PS I'm send you a PM

[topboss]

Thanks for the welcome guys, but I guess it seems that I am already having to defend myself before I have even started.
Dave, I will respond to your pm privately, but Roanan, I need to respond to your post regarding the Virtual Group.
I am well aware that they have been a rogue casino for many years, and I did in fact promote them years ago when I was young and stupid, for want of a better word, and at the time I was in fact dragged through the dirt on Casino Meister for this very reason. Consequently I took the advice and removed them bar one or 2 that were unintentionally left up on sites that I hardly ever worked on. ( Bear in mind that I have about 120 plus sites )
However, I must be honest at the time that I took them down - I did it reluctantly because I personally had never received a complaint from any of my players about them, and they had never missed a payment to me. In fact I can even go as far as saying that even after I had removed them - I still continued receiving payments without fail from all my regular players. Yes, I had a lot of players there who kept playing, winning, losing etc and they were obviously getting paid otherwise they would not remain regular players. Please also bear in mind that I ONLY promoted the casinos listed on Gambling wages as this is the affiliate program I use. I did not promote any of their casinos that were not on gambling wages.
However, I could not ignore what the industry was saying because I have a reputation to maintain, and the fact that there had been players not being paid - even though they were not my players, I still felt that the possibility existed that next time it could be one of my players. Hence they were removed.
I am a firm believer in giving people a chance to prove themselves, and when they contacted me a few years back asking to be put back up and assured me they had cleaned up their act. I decided that I would give them the benefit of the doubt. To put my money were my mouth is to see if they really had come clean, I signed up as a player and deposited my own funds and played on a regular basis and never had any problems. I then put them back and to this date have not had 1 single complaint from any player nor have I had any problems being paid myself. Whilst many will disagree with my viewpoint - I do belive that management can change and that casinos can cleanup their act. In fact, if I recall hasn't casino meister himself now put them on the watch list as opposed to the rogue list? ( I may be wrong with this statement but am sure I recall reading this recently )
So there you have it Roanan, Whilst I don't blame you for asking the question, I hope you can also see my viewpoint and reasoning behind my decision.

Hi Heather, welcome to CM.

As you can see by my post count, I too am still mostly just a lurker.

It will be good to read what you have to say. I respect your opinion and expertise and always look forward to reading your posts on GPWA.
