It sad you have to come to a forum or contact the webmaster to get paid

No problem defening oneself, but the thread got derailed a number of times - and like dickens1298 implied - this whole GPWA feud thing is pointless, it doesn't have much to do with portal operators who promote casinos irresponsibly.

Agreed. Old, stale and pointless. I hope this is the last of it. And Dickens is right. More apologies here.

To the meister forum members and the meister himself, please accept my humble appologies.

About portals who promote casinos irresponsibly, I say give them one chance - send them an email - and if they either don't respond, or their response isn't acceptable to you, then boycott them.

a portal is a site that has some affiliate links, some content or bs to attract visitors.

if there is no $, no portal will be portal, be part time al.

who is the biggest portal? yahoo?

who is the biggest gambling portal? you have no clue? i do.

I don't know any person involved, so I have to particular bias towards any of the sides in whatever GPWA feud that may exist. But as a person I have a very low tolerance level for intellectual dishonesty.

I did a some quick checks on other forums. And this is what this particular owner that is being discussed in this thread had to say about 'her' slowpaying casinos. "And for the record, the average payout time of these casinos is currently 4-6 weeks, and it's improving." Why the ¤#%& are you still sending people their way and getting paid for it? Having to wait 4-6 weeks isn't anything even remotely close to acceptable, especially when it takes the same casino 10 secs to take the money from your Neteller account.

And in addition to that priding herself having worked with finding out scammers before but claim that Carusos BJ results at Gambling Federation (who she of course was getting money from via affiliate work) was something that didn't seem fishy to her because 'The one, most basic, truth of gambling is that anything and everything can happen, no matter the game.''. That one left me flabbergasted. That is like saying 'I don't know about gravity, perhaps I will not land if I jump right now'. I can't believe anyone is that intellectually limited so I have to write it off as good old fashioned greed. Any decent portal operator would remove any links to Gambling Federation casinos after being shown such undeniable evidence of a rigged game instead of claiming it could happen and happily go on sending people to those casinos. But hey, when the game is rigged the players lose more so the more money the affiliate makes, I guess.

If you promote scum casinos and get paid for it you are scum. Simple as that.

Sorry for venting but stuff like that make my blood boil. I didn't intend to keep a neverending discussion going. But the more poor portalowners and casinos there are, the sooner this industry will be banned. It should be in everyones interest to have an industry that is centered around fairness for both the casino and the player. Promoting scum just takes us two steps back which angers me.

I did like the point Dom made about a Players Union. There are leadership portal owners. They and representative players could form a union that would do more than work after the fact.

To grant a seal would require performance to defined standards. There is an industry attempt at this model, but a mirror player/portal organazation would have great power.

And just as unions have strike lines, so such a player organazation could more effectively communicate deceptive practices of rogue casinos across the internet community.

It is a very powerful idea. It just requires the leadership of those such as yourself and Jetset.
