Grand Bay working for me OK (non-US).

This looks very much just an attempt to cut affiliates loose, and keep the commission for themselves.

Perhaps to prove this, one of the affiliates should contact them and ask them about the very obvious fact that the casinos are still "business as usual" for both non-US and US, and ask what caused the reversal of the decision, and that they would like to know how their payments are being handled during December for their referred players that CLEARLY can still play and potentially generate revenue.

If GP is keeping their casinos open for depositing players, but cutting off their affiliates, I would think the affiliates would be up in arms about broken contract agreements, and theft, etc.....

Anyone want to clue us players in on WTF is going on?

And why does any of this matter to players? Because (usually) if casinos will screw over affiliates, they won't think twice about doing it to players -- and vice versa.

And BTW... is GP the only MG group doing this?

Ok, as far as I know:

Belle Rock is so far the only group closing all US player accounts.

The others are just not accepting new US players.

Grand Prive just decided to stop paying affiliates for past work. They are continuing to let players play.

Grand Prive is being rogued by GamesandCasino, and by many other sites, for breach of contract.

Just because we are on the internet doesn't mean basic rules of business don't apply. A contract is a contract is a contract.

Players have contracts with casinos also, the T&C you agree to is your contract.

My thinking has always been, if a place screws one group of people, they are likely to screw another group when it seems a good idea to them. A crook is a crook is a crook.

So I have rogued the group. Clean up your act, Grand Prive, and honor your contracts!

That doesn't make sense. Have they explained the logic behind this?

I agree! Absolute Poker did some affiliates like this when they merged with UB.

Nope, they are shrouded in silence.

GP casinos have always seemed fond of the ostrich (head in the sand) routine -- ignore the problem and it will go away (eventually).
