ECOGRA CONFIRMS GRAND PRIVE INVESTIGATION (Update)
11 December 2009
Enquiry will lead to public report, hear
affiliate claims
Monday's announcement by online casino group Grand Prive
that it has commissioned player protection and standards
body eCOGRA to carry out an independent investigation of
the events surrounding the closure of the group's
affiliate program, has been followed by a press release
from the non-profit organisation confirming its
involvement.
Grand Prive earlier claimed (see
previous InfoPowa report) that on closing its Grand
Prive Affiliate Program it had ensured that all
affiliates had been paid up to date, and had
subsequently engaged in settlements, asserting that
despite Internet criticism it has yet to receive a
single affilate complaint regarding its actions.
Under the heading "GRAND PRIVÉ AFFILIATES
INVESTIGATION", the eCOGRA press release reveals:
London, 7 December 2009 – Following a number of
Internet-based allegations concerning payments following
the closure of the Grand Privé Affiliate Program on 1
December 2008, eCOGRA's professional services have been
engaged by the management of the company.
Pursuant to an independent and fair resolution of the
issues involved, eCOGRA has been tasked with:
*
Independently investigating the manner in which the
Program was terminated and the reasons therefore;
subsequently compiling a full and transparent report.
* Gathering and verifying claims by any affiliate
that considers an amount still to be owing by the
Program as a result of player wagering activity
subsequent to 1 December 2008; and
* Carrying out
a full and independent review by suitably qualified
staff of the program software and data to confirm
amounts owing to claimants at 21 December 2009.
eCOGRA is open to all submissions concerning the closure
and payments owed, and urges affiliate watchdog
organisations in receipt of this email to assist it in
order to ensure that respective affiliate members are
informed of this opportunity to submit legitimate
claims.
Claims can be submitted prior to 21
December 2009 at
http://www.ecogra.org/grandprive.aspx. Former Grand
Privé affiliates who believe they have a legitimate and
verifiable claim will be asked to complete the Claim
Submission Form that they will find on this link.
