I not going to be able to respond much and just wanted to post that 1 thread.
But giving the points raised about Conquestador which i find completely off topic i will respond with the following.
Conquestador casino who were not mentioned or promoted on said page. The page which has now been shared via screenshots on this forum had no affiliation on them at all and we are not affiliated to any of these casino.
There is evidence of this.
We did have an affiliate relationship with Conquestador and like
@Casinomeister has rightly pointed us this thread is about affiliates targetting gamstop players with non gamstop casinos. Not which casinos do or dont have Gamstop. Im pretty sure
Bitstarz is listed on here, do they have gamstop?
Conquestador is currently not listed on Gam Stop but we didn’t know this when we signed up with them. Yes this may be very naive and people may not believe us but we generally did not think of ever checking or looking because to our knowledge no UK license we work with is now not on gam stop and we simply believed it was a fundamental pre requisite for any UK license casino to have so it was not something we would ever think of asking or checking. Another lesson learnt.
As soon as we found out they were not on gam stop we asked them immediately if it was intentional or whether they had plans to join and we were told unequivocally that they have applied to be listed but due to technical integrations it doesn’t happen overnight. When we more recently followed up on this (last week) we were told that testing has now taking place and all being well they will be added by sept latest. For us that was enough to know, and we were satisfied with that answer. WE NEVER once promoted the fact that they were not on Gam Stop. We believe there was no malice behind the fact that a fairly new casino had not got listed on gam stop immediately although on reflection given what has occurred and our expectations and duty as streamers to promote safe and responsible gambling it can certainly be seen as a big error of judgement. For those reasons we removed them from the site yesterday because the matter of being partnered with them and being number 1 on our site was far to close to association with the other issue.
As a new streaming partner of ours Conquestador were giving 2 months of top positions on our site. This for me is completely seperate to what this thread is about but for us a very unfortunate connection because Conquestador happens to not be on gamstop.
I dont want to ruin my holiday by getting involved with what appears a witch hunt now. But i did want to share our version of events and get our opinion/points across.
For me i dont see any point in going back and forth about our negligence for allowing the article to get listed on the site. Like i said it was removed well before this thread started. We are a far from perfect business and lack major resource. Thats not an excuse just the way it is. The site needs a lot of work and there is plenty of content on that 'casino guides' section that is a little baffling. I dont want to remain in this forum being told how bad we are and how irresponcible it was the give a free reign to an seo consultant. I appreciate the magnitude of the error but i dont believe for one minuate every web master here runs a perfect opertion in a very morally questionable industry as it stands.
Enough said from me. There is too much trolling for my liking because certain people on here are only here to bash others.
